First NFC Championship berth in a decade? Yes, the dream season rolls on with an absolutely dominating victory over Seattle yesterday in Green Bay. But that dream started out in nightmarish fashion with two quick turnovers and a 14-0 deficit in the first four minutes of the game.
After Ryan Grant fumbled twice and spotted Seattle [...]
The NFL Wildcard weekend wrapped up today and the good news is the Packers are still in the playoffs. Okay, that was kind of lame, but I haven’t posted here for like 10 days so cut me a little slack.
Seattle won its first-round game against the Washington Redskins with the reward being a trip to [...]
A successful Christmas party followed by a big Packers victory in St. Louis that clinched a first-round bye in the playoffs: The holiday season is off to a great start this year.
The Green Bay Packers advanced their record to 12-2 with a 33-14 victory over the Rams that was highlighted by a dominating second-half performance [...]
Green Bay clinched the NFC North division title today in convincing fashion with a 38-7 blowout victory over the Oakland Raiders in front of the Lambeau faithful. It was just the sort of win the Packers needed to get the fan base re-energized and to gain momentum for the final three games of the regular [...]

So the big NFL divisional playoff games are coming [...]
It was not a good day to be a quarterback named Jake in the National Football League. Jake “The Snake” Plummer and his Denver Broncos got rolled at home by the Steelers 34-17, while Jake “Not The Snake” Delhomme and his Carolina Panthers were overmatched by the Seahawks 34-14. For once in the Conference Championship, [...]
Okay, so it’s finally time to stand up and be counted and make my picks for the NFL Conference Championships today.
In the Steelers-Broncos tilt, I have to go with Pittsburgh because of experience. Bill Cower has led his team to five AFC Championship matches during his career, including last year’s collision with the New England [...]
