    Inbox: It was one of the most enjoyable human aspects

    Dennis from Parrish, FL What happens if the hay is in the live well and the perch are in the barn? The farmer goes broke and the fisherman goes hungry. Or the frog eats the key. Take your pick. Basil from Nags Head, NC Is it just me, or does anyone else miss the end-of-season pictures of...

    Inbox: It was a great year…and a great lesson

    Maria from Hellertown, PA To say I'm incensed that LeRoy Butler was denied his spot in Canton, yet again, would be a gross understatement. In an already painful week, did they really have to do that to LeRoy and Packers fans everywhere? Can you shed any light on why he didn't make the cut...

    When did Packers start wearing face guards? Here's a detailed history

    When were the first face masks used on the Packer helmets? I am guessing sometime in the early 1950s probably, but could not really find when it was. Was there any particular Packer player or group of players (like linemen or halfbacks) that were the first to use them before it spread to the...

    Corey Linsley cherished every part of Packers' 2020 run

    Linsley handled his own share of adversity in 2020. He battled a back injury early in the season before seeing his consecutive starts streak end at 68 regular-season games due to a knee injury that sidelined him for three December starts. Yet, Linsley bounced back to finish the season on a...

    Inbox: It might never be appreciated more than the next time it happens

    Jon from Lynchburg, VA How's that shot at immorality workin' for you, Wes? That one's on his editor as much as the writer. But yes, it gave us all a good laugh. Craig from Milwaukee, WI Is Aaron Rodgers trying to help and stay with the Packers or trying to force his way out? This is...

    Inbox: It's the hardest day of the season

    Jeff from Athens, WI Not to beat a dead horse on officiating here but it is pretty sad when there is so much inconsistency in the officiating in the NFL. Not just within one game, but the differences in what was or was not called Sunday was glaringly noticeable within the Packers-Bucs game and...

    What You Might've Missed: Alexander's excellence

    Here's Alexander on the speedy Miller again, but in the far inside slot on the defense's right side, not Alexander's usual left side. He's up tight at the line on Miller, who gets a bit of separation on his cut by putting his left hand in Alexander's chest, but again, Brady isn't interested and...

    Packers 'kind of feel lost' day after difficult defeat

    Linsley confessed the offensive line, which had played outstanding all year despite several injuries and moving parts, also wasn't at its best. The late-season absence of All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari had been handled well through two games but was felt against Tampa Bay's pass rush, with...

    Inbox: This felt like it was supposed to be it

    Matt from Green Bay, WI As Monty Python says, "Always look on the bright side of life." Every team that has beaten the Packers in the NFC Championship Game has gone on to lose the Super Bowl (except 1995). I know anything can happen, but I don't see the Chiefs losing. Susan from Santa...

    Late takeaways weren't enough to turn the tide for Packers' defense

    Prior to halftime, after it looked like the Buccaneers might punt on fourth-and-4, head coach Bruce Arians opted to put his offense back on the field and Fournette caught a 6-yard pass to move the chains. On the very next play, Brady lofted a deep ball down the sideline and over the single...

    Packers full of regrets as Super Bowl slips away

    "You just can't do that stuff," LaFleur said of what amounted to two touchdowns allowed in less than 75 seconds of game clock, and putting the blame on the coaching staff for the wrong defensive coverage call at the end of the first half. "That's inexcusable. That should not have happened...
