Why “Packer Nation” Is So Upset With Ted Thompson

Posted: 11th April 2010 by Chad Lundberg in NFL
There is much debate over Ted Thompson. Is he driving us into the ground? Is he just keeping us on life support? Is he the one behind any success on our team? There are some very good reasons to be mad at Teddy. For example, Ted does not do free agency. The only signings he's done is with Woodson, Pickett, and Chillar. These have proven to be successful signings. But he's been ...

Green Bay Packers vs. New England Patriots: One To Never Forget

Posted: 10th April 2010 by Chad Lundberg in NFL
Next season will prove if the Packers are truly made of steel. There are only three teams outside their division that will have a losing record. If they land somewhere near 13-3 or so, it means the Packers should be Super Bowl favorites by the end of the regular season. But there is one particular game that has been brewing in my mind that I find myself overwhelmingly anticipating. And ...

Spencer Havner Is Overlooked in Green Bay Packers’ Offense

Posted: 8th April 2010 by Chad Lundberg in NFL
Warren Sapp said on NFL.com that the Packers have "the best receiver corps in the game."  The best in the league might be a slight overstatement, but they are at least in the discussion when you talk about "the best in the league." Usually when I hear people talk about the Packers' receiver corps, they mention Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, James Jones, Jordy Nelson, Jermichael Finley—and even Donald Lee, who I ...

Why Is “Packer Nation” So Upset With Brett Favre?

Posted: 3rd April 2010 by Chad Lundberg in NFL
If you're a Packer fan, and you've shown your disgust with Brett Favre, chances are you've been called a "disgruntled, hateful, typical Packer fan." This article is designed to help settle the dispute. But let me say one thing first. This is a very long, complicated matter, and I won't be able to cover every reason Packers are upset with him. The truth is, is that no team has ever had a quarterback ...
Did you know that the Packers have five decent cornerbacks? Charles Woodson, Al Harris, Tramon Williams, Will Blackmon, and I guess it doesn't hurt to include Pat Lee. In fact, most experts even agreed that Woodson and Harris were undoubtedly the best cornerback duo in the league. Lee is questioned by a lot of people as to whether he's a decent cornerback, but I think they'd all agree that ...
There's little to no chance that the Packers will ever acquire Darrelle Revis. The Jets organization, especially Rex Ryan, simply likes him too much. Still, that won't stop me from writing an article about the Packers doing what it takes to one day have Darrelle have more than just green on his jersey. The Jets have a very poor receiving corps. They had one receiver last season who had 800 yards. ...
The Minnesota Vikings have just signed free agent Mike Montgomery from the Green Bay Packers. Am I the only one who sees a slight phenomenon here? In 2005, Darren Sharper, who has been argued to be one of the finest DB's in the league, decided to join the purple and gold. Sharper didn't have a grudge against the Pack or anything like that, he just felt that he deserved the money ...

Will Peyton Manning Really Pass Brett Favre’s Records?

Posted: 25th March 2010 by Chad Lundberg in NFL
Peyton Manning is quite possibly the best quarterback to have ever played the game. Nobody can read defenses like he can. Nobody can make the play calling like he can. The guy is a sheer genius. Peyton Manning is well on course to surpass all of Brett Favre's records, with the exception of interceptions. He has already broken the MVP record with four of them, and is likely to get ...
  In my opininon, with the likes of Peyton Manning and Chris Johnson in the NFL, it's just outside Aaron Rodgers' grasp to win the MVP title next season. But, there's little question that Rodgers plays at an MVP level. I've waited forever to see the 26—year—old Rodgers throw four touchdowns in a single game and it finally happened in a playoff game against the Arizona Cardinals. Though the game came to great ...

Is Ben Roethlisberger the Most Overrated Quarterback in the NFL?

Posted: 23rd March 2010 by Chad Lundberg in NFL
  NFL experts are trying to place Ben Roethlisberger amongst the elite quarterbacks with the likes of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Don't get me wrong, Roethlisberger is no doubt a decent quarterback, but can we honestly say that he ranks amongst the all—time greats? Last season Ben Roethlesberger was sacked 50 times. What came as a shock to me though was that most expert analysts were giving him praise. But yet, when Aaron ...
