When the Green Bay Packers traded one of the best wide receivers in franchise history, Davante Adams, to the Las Vegas Raiders, everyone knew it would take more than one player to replace his impact one offense. That is why Green Bay used three picks in the 2022 NFL Draft on wide receivers: Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Samori Toure. The hope, of course, was that they, along with veteran Allen Lazard, would keep the offense running on all cylinders. Of course, that did not happen. Lazard was far from the number one wide receiver he touted himself to be…

The Green Bay Packers are back in the hunt for the NFL Playoffs after a 29-22 win over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. At 5-6, most of the Packers’ struggles this season have been on offense, the result of having a new starting quarterback in Jordan Love and the cheapest and most inexperienced wide receiver group in the NFL. All season long, the defense has surprisingly been consistently reliable (albeit frustrating at times). One may be surprised to realize that the Packers’ defense has not allowed an opponent to score 24 points in a game since October 29. In fact,…

The Green Bay Packers, at point this season, were 2-5 and seemed to be spiraling. The season started off as good as anyone could have asked, with Green Bay demolishing their archrival Chicago Bears while Jordan Love threw three touchdown passes and the offense rolled. But the optimism was short-lived for many. David Bakhtiari was lost for the season, Aaron Jones suffered a hamstring injury that kept him out for a few weeks, and the Packers lost their Week Two game against the Atlanta Falcons despite leading for most of the game. Then, in Week Three, Green Bay was held…

The Green Bay Packers improved to 5-6 on the season when they defeated the Detroit Lions 29-22 on Thanksgiving Day. The win, their third in their past four games, saw the offense take even more strides towards its full potential. This was quite the surprise considering that they were without starters Luke Musgrave and Aaron Jones, along with Dontayvion Wicks who had racked up 219 receiving yards in his previous four games. Of course, a great deal of their success was due to the phenomenal quarterback play of Jordan Love. The fourth-year veteran (but first-year starter) completed 22 of 32…

The Green Bay Packers entered their Thanksgiving matchup with a slew of injuries on both sides of the ball. On the offensive side, tight end Luke Musgrave was placed on injured reserve after suffering a lacerated kidney in the Packers’ win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Additionally, wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks was sidelined with a concussion. The two injuries appeared to be detrimental to the Packers’ offense going into the game. Both Musgrave and Wicks had become integral parts of the offense and two of Jordan Love’s most trusted targets. In the game against Los Angeles, Musgrave had four receptions…

Very little could stop the Green Bay Packers in their 29-22 victory over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. Jordan Love connected with Christian Watson for 53-yard reception on the first play of the game, setting the tone for a game in which Green Bay never trailed. Many were surprised by the Packers’ convincing victory, considering the fact that the Lions (now 8-3) destroyed Green Bay in every phase of the game in a blowout win at Lambeau Field in Week Four. Furthermore, the Packers were without a large number of their starting and/or key players. Jaire Alexander, De’Vondre Campbell, Aaron…

There may not have been a more hated figure among Green Bay Packers fans this offseason than general manager Brian Gutekunst. After all, he traded away one of the best quarterbacks of all-time in Aaron Rodgers and allowed several other popular veterans to depart the team via free agency. Randall Cobb, Marcedes Lewis, Robert Tonyan, Adrian Amos, Mason Crosby: all gone. Instead, Gutekunst decided to build his 2023 Packers roster around Jordan Love. Because of the dead cap hits of Rodgers and others no longer on the team, Gutekunst was forced to surround his new quarterback with rookies and unproven/inexperienced…

One of the biggest concerns the Green Bay Packers faced going into the season was at the kicker position. Instead of bringing back the franchise’s all-time leading scorer, Mason Crosby, the Packers opted to draft Anders Carlson in the sixth round. At the time of the selection, it was an incredibly unpopular move among the fanbase. These concerns continued during training camp and preseason games, as Carlson was very inconsistent with his accuracy. Many believed that he would be a liability to the team in the regular season. All the while, Crosby has remained available. While he has gotten workouts…

When the Green Bay Packers traded Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets, it meant that they were committing, at least in the short term, to Jordan Love being their starting quarterback. A two-year contract that Love signed in the offseason ensures that he will be in Green Bay through 2024, unless the Packers offer him a bigger extension for a longer period of time. Before the season began, general manager Brian Gutekunst and president Mark Murphy told the media and fans that they would not make a decision on a new contract for Love until at least eight games…

When the Green Bay Packers traded Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets, general manager Brian Gutekunst received a great deal of criticism from some fans and the national media. In the weeks leading up to and following the trade, Jets general manager Joe Douglas added several of Rodgers’ former Packers teammates, including wide receivers Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb. The Jets’ whole idea, of course, was that they would add Rodgers and his veteran friends to compliment their young and talented roster. If everything worked out according to plan, they would be serious Super Bowl contenders. The Packers, meanwhile,…
