Green Bay has four possible playoff opponents for the divisional round Jan. 16-17 – Washington, Tampa Bay, Chicago and the LA Rams – but LaFleur suggested the coaching staff won't be studying too extensively until this weekend.
By the time Saturday's wild-card games (Buccaneers vs. Washington...

Mike Pettine. Give the guy credit. The defense has surrendered fewer than 20 points in four of the last five games. I think the key move was replacing Christian Kirksey with Krys Barnes as every-down linebacker. Barnes has been better there than Kirksey, and Kirksey has had...
GREEN BAY – After a fruitless third quarter, the Packers needed to get their offensive mojo back in the fourth quarter.
They did with a methodical 12-play, 76-yard scoring march that consumed seven minutes, 35 seconds on the clock and is the Chevy Drive of the Week from the 35-16 victory at...
The third-year running back found paydirt once, finishing the Bears' opening series with a 2-yard TD run up the middle, but Green Bay otherwise clamped down inside its own 20.
That included after Tavon Austin fumbled a punt return in the second quarter that gave Chicago the ball at the Green...
Rhythm, or lack thereof, aside, Aaron Rodgers referred to getting to "recharge" for a playoff run in which the Packers can reach the Super Bowl without leaving the friendly confines of Lambeau Field.
While home-field advantage in this pandemic season isn't what it normally would be, since no...
Yet, Rodgers was at his best when adversity struck. His completion streak ended early in the third quarter when Valdes-Scantling dropped a pass that likely would've been a 53-yard touchdown. Two plays later, the Packers would have to punt for the first time.
The offense would then go...
Amos then made the splash, picking off Trubisky (33-of-42, 252 yards, 81.7 rating) in Chicago territory, leading to Adams' 18th TD on the year to tie Sharpe's team record in that category and seal the win.
With six catches for 46 yards, Adams finished the regular season with 115 receptions...

Bears lead 7-3 after first quarter
The Packers won the opening coin toss and deferred. Mason Crosby's opening kickoff fell near the sideline around the 4-yard line, with Cordarrelle Patterson touching the ball at the Chicago 1 while his foot slid out of bounds.
Officials ruled it a touchback...

I was one of Snacks' major professors at William Penn. Besides being a good football player he is a good person. He returns to Okaloosa, Iowa, each year for the father-daughter banquet.
Are you serious, Bill? What a small world. Move over, Kevin Bacon. The six...
It's always been fair to wonder if things might have unfolded differently had the Packers beaten the Vikings in Week 17 to earn the bye. That would have sent Chicago to San Francisco for the wild-card round. If the 49ers had deployed the read-option to beat the Bears and advance, would the...

The Green Bay Packers placed T David Bakhtiari on injured reserve, signed G Ben Braden to the active roster from the practice squad, elevated DL Brian Price from the practice squad to the active roster for gameday and signed DL Anthony Rush to the practice squad. The transactions were announced...
"Adam Stenavich and Luke Butkus do a great job with that room," LaFleur said, referring to his two offensive line coaches. "But also those guys take it upon themselves to prepare the right way. This is the best O-line group I've ever been around, and I'm not just talking about the players. I'm...

Today, one can truly look back with 2020 hindsight.
Only here can you find wisdom like this, folks.

Gentlemen, it may not be a happy start for the new year if the news I heard is true. Did David Bakhtiari tear his ACL in...
Ten finalists have been named in the search for the 23rd member of the Packers FAN Hall of Fame, and voting begins today for fans to make the selection.
The first professional football team to have a hall of fame, the Green Bay Packers enhanced that distinction in 1998 by establishing a...
The defensive front is coming off arguably its best performance of the season during last Sunday's 40-14 win over the Tennessee Titans. Green Bay held All-Pro running back Derrick Henry to just 98 rushing yards on 23 carries, while sacking Ryan Tannehill three times and helping force two...
GREEN BAY – It was destined to come down to the finale at Soldier Field, right?
Ever since the Saints lost to the Eagles in Week 14, the Packers have been in control of the No. 1 seed for the NFC playoffs. Back then, the scenario was Green Bay would get the top spot by winning its last three...
