On the first Saturday of every month, Mark will write about a topic of interest to Packers fans and the organization, and then answer five fan questions. Fans are encouraged to email Mark with their name and hometown at: MurphyTakes5@packers.com. Last year, in the February MT5 column, I wrote...

For the last five seasons I can count on one hand the number of times we've witnessed a heavy snowfall during a game at Lambeau Field. You'd think the opportunities would be endless, but it's not. Snowfall looks great visually, but it's a pain in the butt for focusing, tracking subjects and...

Rebounding from a clunker: Rodgers did it with aplomb each of these three seasons. Back in '11, the Packers' 13-0 start ended at Kansas City in Rodgers' worst game of the year (17-of-35, 235 yards, one TD, no INTs, 80.1 rating). He came back seven days later to bury the Bears on Christmas...

Sandy from Green Bay, WI There has been some discussion about COVID measures set up as precautions to protect team personnel that might become permanent going forward. Any talk about continuing to restrict media access in the locker room for player interviews? In the past those interactions...

Packers fans are invited to celebrate Valentine's Day with loved ones at the Lambeau Field Atrium on Sunday, Feb. 14, with special deals offered at the Packers Hall of Fame, Packers Pro Shop and 1919 Kitchen & Tap. Fans visiting the Packers Hall of Fame can get buy-one-get-one-free admission...

Jeff from Eveleth, MN Jars on the shelf. Jon Runyan seemed like he belongs and can contribute. How about the other two linemen the Packers took in last year's draft? TBD. Simon Stepaniak was recovering from his college ACL tear most of the year, returned to practice toward the end of the...

With the anticipated cold weather next week, Free Tubing Day, compliments of AriensCo., has been postponed until Thursday, Feb. 18. Also due to the inclement weather this weekend, tubing, skating, 46 Below and Titletown programming is closed from today through Sunday. The Titletown team will...

On third-and-10, desperate to make something happen in the fourth quarter trailing by multiple scores, the Titans send a seven-man pressure. That's right, seven. Count 'em. The only flaw in the protection is a missed block by, oddly enough, Pro Bowl LG Elgton Jenkins, who almost never gets...

On a Monday night in front of a national TV audience and without his best receiver, Rodgers put together an ultra-efficient performance, completing 27-of-33 for 327 yards with four TDs, no INTs and a 147.5 rating. Without the injured Adams, six different pass-catchers had a reception of 17 yards...

Joseph from Salt Lake City, UT The question about AR's comebacks reminded me of maybe my favorite one: down 26-3 at half and Matt Flynn brought us the win in Arlington! It was so sad to watch his career simply fizzle out after some outstanding games in AR's absence. Did he end up anywhere...

The 50th Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame Inc. Induction Banquet, which was first rescheduled from 2020 until April of this year, will be postponed until August 2021, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Tom Konop, President of the Packers Hall of Fame Inc., announced today. The August date...

Less than a month later, in his first speech to his new team, Lombardi declared he would not tolerate players who harbored racial prejudices. He also had announced on the eve of camp that his first priority was to "defeat the attitude of defeatism" that was obviously prevalent following the...

Rob from Wilmington, NC It's also the name of a small township in central Wisconsin, but that's not important right now. Dan from Morehead City, NC Has Coach LaFleur made any mention of the new DC and STC and their freedom with their staff hires? The more turnover in the whole staff there...

The Green Bay Packers Foundation has awarded $250,000 in impact grants to Brown County and Milwaukee County nonprofit organizations that support children. Ten organizations, six in Brown County and four in Milwaukee County, will each receive an impact grant of $25,000. The grants have been...

Maximilian from Pasadena, CA While the Packers will undoubtedly look differently next year, I'm most looking forward to hopefully having a better special teams unit. In 2020, the Packers were bottom 10 in kickoff coverage, 31st in kickoff return average, 30th in net-punting average, last in...

Eddie from La Crosse, WI Happy Monday, Mike and Wes! Do you have an opinion on the Stafford-Goff trade? We, armchair GMs, have been feasting on this one... Stafford is one of the most underrated QBs of this generation. This was the perfect time for a change of scenery to a contending team...

2. The Packers' search for a new defensive coordinator is underway The Packers will have a pair of new coordinators in 2021 after LaFleur announced Friday that Shawn Mennenga has been dismissed and Mike Pettine will not return after his contract expired. LaFleur said he's already tabbed...

Curt from Oronoco, MN I'm really stumped by the "go for it" talk. What does that even mean? How often is any team "one or two" players away from a guaranteed Super Bowl, and simultaneously those one or two players are actually out there and available within the cap? Not to mention, the years...
