But Rodgers and LaFleur still expected better and took their share of the blame. They know there’s plenty to work on, but the two-time MVP quarterback’s face just kept lighting up every time he talked about the Packers’ defensive effort. “Yeah, that was fun to watch,” he said. “It’s been a...

The Bears were forced to punt nine times and turned the ball over on downs twice in the second half, including on their final offensive play when Preston Smith sacked Trubisky on fourth-and-8 from Chicago’s 16-yard line to seal the win. “I keep harping on it, man. If we all do our job and come...

Brian from Adel, IA Can we rename Friday's II Overreaction Inbox? I said weeks ago the reaction to this game would be over the top, no matter the result. Easiest prediction ever. I’ll zero in on the serenity amidst the insanity. Eric from Brooklyn, NY Don't tell me to relax. This is...

It’s how a coach goes from a low-level offensive assistant in the NFL to a head man in 11 years. There was no time to wallow in Atlanta’s heartbreaking Super Bowl defeat when the next step in his career, as offensive coordinator for the up-and-coming Los Angeles Rams, was on the horizon. So...

Ethan from Iowa City, IA What matchup do you think is most important on each side of the ball? I'm tempted to say pass rush vs. blocking on both sides. Does GB stop Mack and do they achieve pressure after so much investing into our front seven, or what say you? Mack gets a lot of the...

[unable to retrieve full-text content]An illustrated look at the Packers' Week 1 game against Chicago.

2014 One of the first things Adams did when the Packers chose him with the 53rd overall pick was call Rodgers to break the ice. He got the two-time MVP’s number from his new position coach but had to leave a message, because Rodgers doesn’t answer calls from unknown numbers. That wouldn’t be...

GREEN BAY – Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams have been champing at the bit for weeks to put the pads back on and show just how far the Packers’ rushing offense has come. They’ll have the perfect chance to make a statement on Thursday night against the Chicago Bears, the NFL’s top-ranked run...

Sandy from Green Bay, WI Now that the roster is set, how are things different in the locker room, at practice, etc.? That depends on how you view it. The team practices a little bit later now, but LaFleur also moved to the in-season schedule after the Baltimore preseason game. So players are...

“He comes over talking to us about different things, … small, small things that may come up. But you can just see the wheels turning in his head,” Adams said. “It’s a big computer in there, so he’s reaching for things from 2012, 2015, whatever. Just talking about different looks from different...

On being ready with few preseason snaps from starters: I feel good about where we are because we did so much competitive this year against our offense. We did very little opponent prep in the preseason. We went good against good for the bulk of the days in practice, and we’re still doing that...
