The Green Bay Packers botched the NFC Championship against the Seattle Seahawks almost 11 years ago. Saturday’s overtime loss to the Chicago Bears felt a lot like that.

A dramatic comeback by the Bears ended with Caleb Williams finding DJ Moore for a game-winning 46-yard touchdown to retain their first-place spot in the NFC North, while knocking the Packers down to 9-5-1 with their playoff hopes still hanging in the balance.

Williams made some great plays near the end, but in reality, it was the Packers that beat themselves.

Matt LaFleur and the coaching staff deserve credit for keeping the...

Until there were 11 minutes left in the fourth quarter on Saturday, the Green Bay Packers held a 13-3 lead over the Chicago Bears. From that point on, the Packers lived through an absolute walking nightmare, a path that ended in a 22-16 loss to the team’s bitter rival.

If you happened to miss Saturday’s action, here’s your full recap of the game, a total team collapse where the offense, defense and special teams shot themselves in the foot to earn this loss.

First Quarter

Penalties by the Bears on the opening kickoff essentially gave the Packers the ball...

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love exited the Chicago Bears game in the second quarter after a helmet-to-helmet hit, which led to a 15-yard penalty for Bears defensive lineman Austin Brooks. The fear is currently that Love suffered a concussion.

Love left the game, was evaluated in the blue tent, and then he went into the locker room. It seems odd that a player would be taken to the locker room for a possible concussion, which can be evaluated on the sideline.

We’ll update this post as news trickles in about the situation. Until then, Malik Willis is under center...

As one famous Chicago sports icon once said, “let’s play two.”

One big late-season rivalry game between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears apparently wasn’t enough, so today we get a second one in just 13 days. The two teams will battle for the NFC North lead yet again tonight, with the winner set to hold the NFC’s #2 playoff seed and the division lead by the end of the night.

The Packers got the better of their rivals two weeks ago at Lambeau Field in a 28-21 victory. Keisean Nixon’s interception in the end zone sealed the deal,...

As expected, the Green Bay Packers will be down right tackle Zach Tom (back/knee) and safety Evan Williams (knee) against the Chicago Bears. Aside from them, though, the only player who is out for the Packers on Saturday due to injury is tight end Josh Whyle (concussion).

The Packers didn’t bring up a practice squad tight end this week, which means that Green Bay will be down to just two players at the position. This is going to be a tricky situation, as Darian Kinnard, an offensive lineman who has played tight end snaps for the Packers this year, is...

The Green Bay Packers can clinch a playoff spot in Week 16 on their first step toward a Super Bowl win. It’s a pretty simple route, too. If the Packers win on Saturday, the Detroit Lions have to lose on Sunday and Green Bay is postseason bound. If the Packers tie (again) on Saturday, a Lions loss would still get the job done.

A Packers win would also move Green Bay into first place in the NFC North and second place in the NFC as a whole.

Green Bay is currently seventh in the playoff picture with the strong NFC...

FOX’s Jay Glazer is reporting that the Green Bay Packers right tackle Zach Tom (knee/back) is expected to miss today’s game against the Chicago Bears, one that will likely decide the fate of the NFC North. Tom dropped out of last week’s game with a knee injury and didn’t return to action against the Denver Broncos. This week, Tom was listed as a non-participant in practice and was listed as questionable by the team on their final injury report.

Tom’s replacement on Sunday was Darian Kinnard, who is now dealing with a neck injury of his own. Kinnard was also...

We broke down how the Denver Broncos took advantage of some of the schematic tendencies that Jeff Hafley and the Green Bay Packers defense rely on in a previous article. Here, we briefly want to cover some of the other ways head coach Sean Payton dissected the Packers’ defense.

Payton and the Broncos offense relied on a lot of “formation into the boundary” to create mismatches and negate what the Packers defense does well. On some of the other explosive passes and intermediate gains, Payton took advantage of 1-on-1’s with his receivers on the outside against the Packers’ corners as...

In the first part of our breakdown this week, we looked at how the Denver Broncos put stress on the Green Bay Packers’ defense in the Week 15 loss by using 4×1 formations. They probed the Packers’ alignments and found that the defense never traveled the nickel with the passing strength and always aligned them to the field, even if the offense’s pass strength was into the boundary.

Eventually, the Broncos hit a couple of touchdowns and big plays against those defensive tendencies that helped propel them to the victory. In this article, we’ll take a look at some of...

In Week 15, the Green Bay Packers defense turned in perhaps its worst defensive performance of the season. The Denver Broncos and head coach Sean Payton found multiple ways to attack some of the schematic tendencies and personnel weaknesses the Packers’ defense suffers from.

In addition to this, the defense lost Micah Parsons to an ACL injury, with Quay Walker and Evan Williams also leaving the game in the second half due to injuries. There were multiple injuries on offense, too. Overall, it was not a good day on that front, and the Packers are on a shorter week with...

With very limited exceptions I don’t think it’s ever a good idea to draft a tight end in the first round of the NFL draft. Even good ones often take some time to develop, and while elite, multi-faceted tight ends are incredibly valuable, you can get “good enough” production from the middle rounds with regularity. I mean, Tucker Kraft was a third rounder.

I am also about to compare Bears’ tight end Colston Loveland to Colts’ tight end Ty Warren, and before I do so, I want to be clear that Ty Warren is awesome. Warren was taken with the...

You’re about to witness some of the rarest Packers football there is.

In the glorious century since Curly Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun brought the Packers into existence, the Packers have played just 32 Saturday games.

That’s fourth most among days of the week. Sundays, obviously, are the most common games for Packers football. Counting playoff games, the Packers have played 1,339 games on Sundays. Next most is Mondays, where the Packers have played 78 games. Thursdays are the next most common gameday with 61 Packers appearances, then Saturday with the aforementioned 32.

And since you’re wondering, the Packers have...
