Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was recently named the NBA’s best player by ESPN. While this ranking was welcomed by Bucks fans, there were many other fans and analysts who vehemently disagreed. Many believe that Nikola Jokic, who won a NBA Championship with the Denver Nuggets last season, should be the top-ranked player in the NBA. The debate over the greatness of Giannis and Jokic has waged on for several seasons, with the two players combining for four of the past five NBA MVP Awards. By all metrics, Giannis is the superior defender of the two while Jokic’s offensive prowess…

The Green Bay Packers’ last four games have been as frustrating as they come. After scoring 38 points against the Chicago Bears in Week One, the Packers are averaging just 19 points per game. For three consecutive games, Green Bay’s offense has failed to score a touchdown in the first half. Of course, there are several reasons for the lack of dynamic playmaking since Week One. One of the most glaring reasons is the injury to Aaron Jones. In the Packers’ victory over the Bear, Jones had 127 total yards and two touchdowns. On that day, he accounted for 38%…
The Green Bay Packers, at 2-3, are using their Bye Week to figure out how they can jumpstart their stagnant offense. The woeful offensive displays the Packers have put out on the field have led many to wonder what they will do to change it. For some, the answer is obvious: they need Aaron Jones back. Green Bay scored 38 points in Week One while Jones gained 127 yards of total offense and scored twice. Additionally, the offensive line has been woefully bad at run blocking, cause backup running back AJ Dillon to struggle. However, changes to the offensive line…
The Green Bay Packers are 2-3 heading into their Bye Week after a frustrating loss against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football. The loss saw the Green Bay offense put up a measly 13 points with quarterback Jordan Love throwing three interceptions. Over the last four weeks, the offense has looked progressively worse and worse. During the Bye Week, the team will undoubtedly look at a variety of ways in which they can spark the offense into being what they had hoped it would be. This notion has led many writers to propose various trades that could bring…
The Green Bay Packers enter the Bye Week 2-3 after an incredibly frustrating loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football. As the team looks forward, they will be looking at various ways in which they can improve their roster. The fact of the matter, though, is that the Packers are rather fond of their young players, making moving one of them via trade unlikely. That being said, there are several veterans whom the the Packers could look to trade ahead of the 2023 trade deadline. One of these players is edge rusher Preston Smith. In a recent…
The Green Bay Packers got off to as good of a start as a team could hope for in the 2023 NFL regular season. Their Week One win over the Chicago Bears saw the team put up 38 points while Jordan Love threw three touchdowns and had a passer rating of 123.2. David Bakhtiari was in vintage form and Aaron Jones had over 120 yards from scrimmage while scoring twice. Needless to say, it has been all downhill from there. Jones hurt his hamstring in the fourth quarter of that Bears’ game and has missed three of the team’s next…
The Green Bay Packers enter their Week Six Bye Week at 2-3. While many predicted this would be the team’s record going into the bye, there are some grave concerns about the team, primarily on offense. While growing pains were expected, what is concerning is that the offense has no identify whatsoever. Part of the problem has been the injury to Aaron Jones. His absence since injuring his hamstring in Week One coincided with the gradual descent of Packers’ offense. After putting up 38 points in Week One with Jones playing [almost] the whole game, Green Bay has averaged just…
Prior to the Green Bay Packers’ Week Five matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders, they released edge rusher Justin Hollins and signed running back Patrick Taylor to the 53-man roster. In their 17-13 loss, Taylor had two carries for two yards and two receptions for five yards. Following the frustrating loss, which saw Green Bay have their most frustrating display on offense all season, the Packers re-signed Hollins and released Taylor. Many assumed that the team would, in short order, re-sign Taylor to the practice squad. However, according to reports, the Packers are done with the third-year running back. The…
The Green Bay Packers are heading into their Bye Week following arguably their most frustrating loss of the season. In their Week Five game against the Las Vegas Raiders, a Packers team with superior talent failed to execute their plays and allowed the lowly Raiders to steal a win at home. Perhaps most frustrating of all was the play-calling throughout the course of the game. For the third consecutive game, head coach Matt LaFleur failed to coordinate a drive that ended in a touchdown until the second half. LaFleur’s scheme came under fire earlier this week when former Packers quarterback…
Let’s just get this out of the way: there is plenty of time left in the Green Bay Packers’ 2023 NFL season. While Jordan Love has been inconsistent through his first five games, it is irresponsible to draw a conclusion one way or another in regards to the level of quarterback he will be. For all anyone knows, he could be great. He could also be bad. The fact of the matter is that five games into his first season as the starting quarterback is not a big enough sample size to come to a conclusion, one way or another.…
