Here we go again. Another game that ended with the same story for the Green Bay Packers: a strong start followed by a stalled-out finish.  Then to top it off, a defense that can’t stop a nosebleed. The Packers might have officially hit rock bottom after an embarrassing 23-21 loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday afternoon. This week’s takeaways for the Packers are anything but good, except for one. Takeaway Number One: Packers’ Offensive Line Played Well Perhaps the ONLY positive takeaway for the Packers game is the fact that the offensive line took a…

The Bucks had their home opener on Saturday night against the Houston Rockets. In the first game of a six game home stand, the hometown crowd was treated to an offensive clinic as the Bucks won easily, 125-105 . There was plenty to take away from the game. Where to begin?  Takeaway Number One: First Quarter Was Impeccable  The Bucks came out with a clear intention to bury the Rockets early, and they did just that in the first quarter. In the quarter, the Bucks got off to a 13-0 run to start…

The season opener for the Milwaukee Bucks was on Thursday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. Looking to re-claim their throne as the best team in the Eastern Conference, they fought tooth and nail for the win in Philadelphia 90-88. Here are the biggest takeaways from Thursday night’s season opener. Takeaway Number One: Giannis Antetokounmpo Is Still ‘That Dude’ The Greek Freak got off to a hot start in the first quarter and rode his momentum the rest of the way. He started the game going 5/5 from the field in the first quarter. However, it was his impact on the…

Unfortunately, if the Green Bay Packers were to find a way to improve their wide receiver group in a hurry, one of their biggest targets via free agency will not be available in time. Many NFL executives believe that Odell Beckham Jr’s return from knee surgery will more realistically be in December instead of November. Beckham’s ACL Injury The veteran receiver has endured two ACL tears within the last two years, the most recent coming from last year’s Super Bowl in February. In last year’s postseason, Beckham caught 21 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns,…

Disgusting. Embarrassing. Lack of effort and urgency. Frustrating. Those are some of the words I’ll use to describe the Packers performance on Sunday AT HOME against the New York Jets. This week’s takeaways are anything but positive. Buckle your seatbelt… Takeaway Number One: New Week, No Offensive Improvement Coming off a game where the offense was on fire in the first half against the Giants but then collapsed, it carried over against the Jets at Lambeau and it was a lot of the same issues. If you missed what I had to say after…

There was less than encouraging news regarding an update on Milwaukee Bucks star forward Khris Middleton. He underwent left wrist surgery in July and his timetable for a return is unknown. He is a crucial piece to their roster so the team can ill-afford to lose him for an extended period but it appears that might be the case. Wrist Injury Worse Than Originally Thought On the Bucks Media Day, Middleton said he suffered the injury after the all-star break and just played through it. He missed 16 regular season games last year and the Bucks went 7-9 without…

Packers receiver Christian Watson suffered a right hamstring injury in Sunday’s game against the Giants. However, Packers head coach Matt Lafluer says he has no long term concerns about it. Watson was held out of practice on Wednesday as a precaution. Possible Overcompensation? Earlier this summer, the Packers rookie missed Organized Team Activities and all of training camp while recovering from ACL surgery on his left knee. Nine times out of ten when an athlete suffers any type of ligament or soft tissue injury, it can take a while for the body to be 100%…

In his weekly appearance on “The Pat Mcafee Show,” Aaron Rodgers had a lot of thoughts about the Packers’ trip to London, including the game and how the team is moving forward after a tough loss. Pat Mcafee Show: Aaron Rodgers Says Margin of Error is Small First and foremost, he talked about the love he had for the fans. As far as the game goes, it was a different story on “The Pat Mcafee Show” for Aaron Rodgers. “We had some opportunities to score late. Our margin of error is tiny”. The Packers failed to score any points on…

This week across the pond was not the most ideal – a strong start by the Packers, but then a collapse for the ages. Giants-Packers London was one of the premier games Sunday, and the international fans got a treat. At least, the Giants fans did. Here are my takeaways from Sunday’s game. Giants-Packers London Takeaway No. 1: The Packers Offense is Broken First and foremost, the Packers’ offense failed to score over 21 points for the fourth time this season. The offense came out guns blazing, scoring 20 points in the first half. They ran the ball effectively, and…

The Packers might be closer to getting key pieces of their team back for the game in London on Sunday. Among the players on the injury report: right tackle Elgton Jenkins, safety Adrian Amos and cornerback Jaire Alexander. These three key players, especially Adrian Amos were sorely missed last Sunday against the New England Patriots, but it’s a new week. The full iPackers injury report is listed here and will be updated later today. Amos Making Progress For starters, Adrian Amos was in concussion protocol earlier this week and missed last week’s game but he was able to return to…
