Green Bay Packers

The life of legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi is the subject of a new play that could be brought to Broadway late next year.

Its back on Easy Street for Green Bay, which has fattened up its record with a diet of the leagues biggest cupcakes.

The Packers ended center Jason Spitz's season, putting him on injured reserve Saturday and filling the spot with practice squad wide receiver Biren Ealy, the team said in a statement without comment from general manager Ted Thompson.

By Matthew Postins/B. Huber Bucs Blitz insider Matthew Postins returns as we break down Sunday’s Packers-Buccaneers contest. In his conversation with Packer Report’s Bill Huber, we talk about how Aaron Rodgers has taken a beating but avoided turnovers.

By Bill Huber Even with Aaron Rodgers battling injuries to both feet, the Packers will not add another quarterback. That means Matt Flynn is the only backup and Brian Brohm will remain on the practice squad.

Green Bay — It's a safe bet that fantasy football owners everywhere love Aaron Rodgers. The Green Bay Packers quarterback is fifth in the NFL in touchdown passes (14), sixth in passing yards (1,989) and has just two interceptions. While Rodgers might be winning games for fantasy owners, he...

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME Brett Favre, quarterback, Vikings: The old man proved once again whom the best quarterback in the NFC North is. On Sunday, he was a surgeon, dissecting the Packers for 17 completions on 28 attempts for 244 yards and four touchdowns. He did not throw an intercepti...

The Green Bay Packers came into Tampa's Raymond James Stadium last season with a 2-1 record and a quarterback making just his fourth start in the National Football League. The Packers left Florida with a 30-21 loss to even their record at 2-2, but more importantly, an injured Aaron Rodgers....

Green Bay — Brett Favre's return to Lambeau Field on Sunday will not be the first time the Green Bay football franchise has faced a former Packer icon in an emotional homecoming. When Green Bay met the Chicago Cardinals in a National Football League preseason game on Aug. 16, 1950, it marked t...

By Bill Huber Brett Favre spoke with no animosity toward the Packers on Wednesday, a few days ahead of his return to Lambeau Field. “I totally understood the direction they wanted to go in. But it’s probably best that things worked out the way they did, and it’s worked out for both sides, I think.”

NOT A FATAL FLAW Do penalties really matter? Evidently not when taken by themselves. Of the 20 teams that advanced to a conference title game the past five seasons, seven (35%) accumulated more than 100 penalties that season. But all of those teams protected their quarterbacks better than...

By Bill Huber A review of the tape shows that several of the 13 penalties called against Green Bay were judgment calls that went against the Packers. Through five games, the Packers have been flagged 43 times compared to 30 for their opponents.

Yet the Vikings only secured victory against the Packers in their final minute on their home field. Meanwhile, the Bears only lost to the Packers because of a horrible game by their quarterback. This division will be interesting well into December, and that should make any football fan sal...

By Matt Tevsh Seeing Brett Favre dismantle the Packers on Monday night may have been the toughest pill to swallow for the Packers. Was Favre’s performance the best of his 19-year NFL career? Better than any of those when he led the Packers? Matt Tevsh puts the game into historical perspective.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME Brett Favre, quarterback, Vikings: Who else but the old man? Some thought too much was being made of Favre's presence, that running back Adrian Peterson would be the one doing all the damage for the Vikings and Favre would have a modest game against his old team....

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME Aaron Rodgers, quarterback, Packers: Rodgers bounced back from a disappointing outing against Cincinnati by throwing two touchdown passes and running for another in the 36-17 victory over St. Louis. Rodgers, who was 13 of 23 for 269 yards, received better pr...

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME Cedric Benson, running back, Bengals: It probably pains the Chicago Bears as much as it does the Packers to see Benson play the way he has for the Cincinnati Bengals. He looks like the player the Bears thought he was when they spent the fourth-overall draft pick o...

By Dave Halprin (Grizz) WR - It certainly wasn't Terrell Owens' week to shine.
