The defense has to get back to the basics of stopping the run, because that’s three weeks in a row now opponents have ground out chunks of yardage. Elite quarterbacks like Carson Wentz aren’t going to just give the ball away, and when they don’t, breakdowns up front prove more costly. Really...

Adams started with a 58-yard catch down the sideline to set the table for Aaron Jones’ 3-yard touchdown run, marking the third consecutive week the Packers have scored on their opening possession. He and quarterback Aaron Rodgers then made the Eagles pay for jumping offside on third-and-10...

Ryan from Colfax, WI OK, so the 2019 Packers are not going to be 16-0. Next! The ultimate reality check. Noah from St. Francis, WI Can we all agree, at least that slant pick wasn't for the Lombardi? It was a gut-punch of a way to end the first month of the regular season, but now that...

Thursday night’s game will be televised to a national audience on FOX and NFL Network with play-by-play man Joe Buck and analyst Troy Aikman handling the call from the broadcast booth and Erin Andrews and Kristina Pink reporting from the sidelines.

4. Taking turns: In the Packers’ secondary, S Adrian Amos had an interception in Week 1, CB Kevin King had one in Week 2, and rookie S Darnell Savage had one in Week 3. Whose turn is next? CB Jaire Alexander, CB Tramon Williams, CB Tony Brown, or S Will Redmond? 5. Momentum swings: The Packers...

Michael from Madison, WI With the Eagles coming to town, what matchup on the field should we keep an eye on this week? Mike Pettine vs. Zach Ertz. Philly’s offense goes as Ertz’s goes. It’s going to be crucial for the Packers to contain him whether that’s Adrian Amos, Tramon Williams, Blake...

Meanwhile, the Eagles have lost two straight games because they haven’t done that despite opportunities, literally, in their hands. On the road in prime time in Week 2, Philadelphia had just given up the lead to Atlanta but had one final two-minute drive for a chance to win. On the second snap...

“He’s a field general. That’s why he’s able to have the success that he does,” said rookie linebacker Ty Summers. “He makes it look effortless. I’m watching him like, ‘Oh, it looks easy.’ And then I try to go out there and do the same thing for the first time and I’m like, ‘OK, there’s a little...

Packers win if.. The offense wins the battle of explosive plays. Mike, in the Inbox today you mentioned the Eagles are 29th against the pass. Granted, it's early so that number might be a little off, but it seems like a prime opportunity to get Rodgers going. If we can get the pass game...

On getting the ball to Adams more and doing more on offense: For us, we want to get everybody more touches. 57 plays, six of them were four-minute, three were at the end of the half, five penalties, and we had six third-and-longs. It’s just an up and down deal right now. We always want to try...

Lambeau Field is ready for Thursday Night Football, with the Green Bay Packers set to face the Philadelphia Eagles. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is reminding motorists that they should allow extra time traveling to Thursday’s game, as commuter traffic may cause slow travel. For...

Given Rodgers is often very calculating in his comments, it’s not a coincidence he made these when he did. It would be easy for a 3-0 team barely hitting the practice field ahead of a Thursday game to stick mentally with the status quo and let that carry everyone into a weekend off before the...

The main areas of focus are third-down conversions – the Packers were 2-for-9 vs. Denver and are just 11-for-45 (24 percent) through three games – and giving receiver Davante Adams and tight end Jimmy Graham more opportunities to make plays. The third-down struggles are due in part to several...

Mike from Ames, IA Can we get the Pro Shop to sell a Smith jersey with No. 55 on the front and 91 on the back? Will make the choosing process easier for the fans and probably sell like hotcakes. Let's lean into the power of the combined Smiths! Now there’s an idea. Good morning! Margeaux...

This wouldn’t be classified as a coverage sack, necessarily, because Za’Darius gets home pretty quickly. But there’s an element to the coverage worth pointing out because Flacco looks to his right immediately and wants to throw that way. Coming out of the bunch formation, RB Phillip Lindsay (30)...
