Jeff from Athens, WI A lot of quiet Sundays to come and there is also the new XFL coming soon. My question is do you think the Packers or other teams will pay attention to this new league as a potential resource to identify players they could add to their rosters? Seems to me that would be a...

That moment has stayed with Butler, who is now the only offensive or defensive player on the '90s All-Decade Team not in the Hall of Fame after former Denver safety Steve Atwater was one of the five finalists to be chosen last Saturday. It's not that Butler feels like he's received the short...

Ironically, Wood died a day after Super Bowl LIV and Kansas City's third appearance in the game. For most of Wood's career, the Packers didn't flip-flop their safeties based on the formation of the offense unlike a number of other NFL teams and so he lined up on the right side. That meant for...

Bruce from Norfolk, MA Much has been made about Nick Collins leaving the game early due to his neck injury. What was the specific injury? Given medical advancements, is the injury today still considered career ending? Ten years later, I think it would be the same situation. Collins had a...

Ross from Hudson, WI Which youngster improved the most during this past season? Aaron Jones. He went from being a good running back with solid upside to one of the best all-around playmakers in the NFL. Steve from Niagara, WI Do you think the team sees Elgton Jenkins' long-term future at...

BACK IN THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP Green Bay played in its eighth NFC title contest since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger and its first since 2016. It was the Packers' third NFC Championship appearance since 2014 (2014, 2016), the most in the NFC over that span. No other NFC team has advanced to the...

Irvine from Kjellin, IA What percentage of passes thrown in 2019 were intended for Davante Adams? Including playoffs, Adams was targeted on 149 of Rodgers' 635 passes this season, or 23.5 percent. The percentage jumps up to 29.9 if you remove the four games Adams missed. Most telling to me...

He's been a tackling machine, compiling 203 total tackles this past regular season, according to the coaches' film review, and becoming the first Packers defender to top 200 in one year since coaches started tallying the numbers in 1975. He led the team for a third straight time. In the...
