It is never too early for Green Bay Packers fans to dream of winning the Super Bowl in 2025. One unnamed NFL scout even said that he believes the team has the makeup of a team that can soon seriously battle for the Vince Lombardi Trophy (h/t Jeremy Fowler of ESPN). Yes, people are going there. Jordan Love proved a legitimate franchise quarterback, and the skill positions are loaded with first- and second-year players. [Green Bay has] a young nucleus to build from — and the offensive line was playing really well,” a veteran AFC scout said. “The defense was…

Whatever hope Joe Barry had for keeping his defensive coordinator job with the Green Bay Packers seemed to have been crushed when Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers embarrassed his stop unit back in Week 15.  As Rob Demovsky of ESPN painted it, the loss to the Bucs seemed to be the beginning of the end of Barry’s tenure as Packers DC. The breaking point for Barry might have been a Week 15 home loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, when Baker Mayfield put together a 381-yard, four-touchdown performance in a 34-20 victory at Lambeau Field. The Green Bay…

During a recent appearance on the Rich Eisen Show, former NFL star quarterback and Hall of Famer Steve Young said that be things Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has the makings of an elite signal-caller in the NFL. He even said that he envisions Love to one day reach the same QB tier as the likes of Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, Baltimore Ravens two-way QB Lamar Jackson, and Cincinnati Bengals gunslinger Joe Burrow (h/t USA Today Sports). “If you watched him in that game, he’s one of those guys that looks like is going to join Josh…

Pat McAfee Gets Real About The Green Bay Packers Firing Joe Barry During a recent episode of the Pat McAfee Show, the ex-Indianapolis Colts star shared his thoughts on the ideal quality of the man who would succeed Barry. “They have to find somebody who can get the best out of all the talent the Packers have on defense” https://twitter.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1750205725551321456 Despite the Packers winning three games to close out their…

Could it be that the solution to the Green Bay Packers’ underwhelming defense that used to be mentored by Joe Barry is someone who’s on the Dallas Cowboys payroll? Matt Schneidman and Dianna Russini of The Athletic listed former Packers star cornerback Al Harris as a candidate for the vacant defensive coordinator job in Green Bay, pointing to the ex-Packers defensive back’s body of work in Arlington. Dallas cornerback DaRon Bland was named a first-team All-Pro this season under Harris after setting the NFL record for most pick sixes in a season. Since Harris became the Cowboys’ defensive backs coach in…

One of the top priorities for the Green Bay Packers right now is finding a new defensive coordinator. With Joe Barry getting handed his walking papers by the Packers, who are looking in a different direction for their stop unit, there have been several names being mentioned as possible replacements.

The Green Bay Packers currently have a defensive coordinator job vacancy after Joe Barry was, as widely expected, let go by the NFC North division franchise. But if the Packers are looking in the direction of Michigan Wolverines defensive coordinator Jesse Minter as a potential Barry replacement, they might have to cross his name out, as many are speculating that Minter will be following Jim Harbaugh to Inglewood. Via Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report: Michigan DC Jesse Minter is someone Jim Harbaugh has wanted to bring with him to an NFL team if he were to take a job. Keep…

The Milwaukee Bucks made sure they won’t fall victim to the lowly Detroit Pistons Monday night, as they eked out a 122-113 win in Motor City. The Bucks, however, did not have a smooth ride from start to finish of the contest, with the Pistons showing some fight. It was only until Giannis Antetokounmpo started to flex his muscles in the final minutes of the contest that Milwaukee was able to breathe and feel comfortable. Giannis Antetokounmpo Delivers Again for the Milwaukee Bucks in Win vs. Pistons Bucks head coach Adrian Griffin had nothing but praises for Giannis Antetokounmpo…

Perhaps not many people remember that before he became a star for the Milwaukee Bucks, Khris Middleton was a talent that the Detroit Pistons took a chance on back in the 2012 NBA Draft. That year, Middleton was taken in the second round by the Pistons as the 39th overall pick. Over a decade later, Middleton boasts of an impressive NBA career that includes three All-Star nods and an NBA ring. Middleton is not done yet, as he continues to play a big role for the Bucks, a serious title contender in the 2023-24 NBA season. Milwaukee Bucks HC Adrian…
