Packers could fall victim to the Pro Bowl conundrum
A topic that's been brought up many times is that of the decisions the Green Bay Packers have to make about extending the contracts of players currently on their roster before the end of the season such that the money doesn't have to be prorated over future salary caps. There's nearly 10 ...

Special teams player of the week vs. Cowboys '09
While the performance wasn't exactly spectacular, the Packers put an improved effort into special teams against the Dallas Cowboys. Particularly, they held solid return man Patrick Crayton in check, which helped in the field position battle. Here's the candidates for tonight's special teams ...

Capers brings the blitz with half the season already over
The fact that Dom Capers called more blitzes this past Sunday more than any other game this season didn't fall on deaf ears (or maybe "blind eyes" would be a more appropriate term): ESPN's Kevin Seifert notes that the Packers brought at least five players on more than 50 percent of ...

Five notes from Sunday's win over Dallas
1. Charles Woodson is a man among boys. Eight tackles, two forced fumbles, and the game-clinching pick. Woodson almost single-handedly destroyed every Dallas attempt to take the lead or get back in the game. Brian pointed out how little recognition he gets, and I couldn't agree more. He'll be ...

Time for the Packers to poach somebody else's roster
The Green Bay Packers foolishly cut Jamon Meredith at the end of training camp, and he ended up a starter at left tackle for the Buffalo Bills. It's time to repay the favor. After Brett Swain went down on injured reserve, the Packers elevated Jake Allen to the 53-man roster. When Allen came up ...

Schedule analysis: Is it time to just say, "Screw it!"?
Looking at the schedule is something I try not to do except for at the beginning of the season. But with the Packers' season hanging in the balance at 4-4, I find myself staring at the team's remaining games, trying to figure out if there's a shot at the playoffs. While things look really bleak ...

DeMarcus Ware should be feared Sunday
Isn't that obvious?  DeMarcus Ware, one of the NFL's best rushers, comes to Lambeau on Sunday. Good for Dallas. Ware, with only five sacks this year, could possibly triple that total in Sunday's matchup with the Packers. Okay, I'm exaggerating. Well, kind of. The Packers have proven ...
