    New season to begin with such talents

    2014 Packer Player AV http://pfref.com/tiny/4aKQM 2015 Packer Player AV http://pfref.com/tiny/As8mT Nelson out for the year, Lacy out of shape, and bad technique by some other young receivers (leading to injuries) derailed the 2015 season. here's to hoping the Packers return to 2014 form...

    Interesting Statistic Of The Day - Scoring Differential

    Attached a .pdf that modifies each team's Margin of Victory for the strength of schedule they've played with regard to their opponents' ability to gather Margin of Victory. Essentially, points are a closed system netting to zero. The netted Margin of Victory measures a team's ability to push...

    Green Bay Packer phenomenon

    The OP had a list of those old town teams, the only reason the Packers weren't shut down/moved with the rest of them was Don Hudson. If the Packers had been mediocre to bad in the mid 20's to very early 30's, they'd have been gone. And in the meantime, Lambeau tried to move the team to LA and...

    Offsetting personal fouls

    No offense to Mr. Lang, I appreciate that he had his teammates back, and NFL is killing the game with fines and penalties, but on a pro-rated basis between his $5,800,000 salary for 2015 and the average household income of Brown County Wisconsin of about $52,500, the fine equates to about $78.57.

    The Teams That Time Forgot !

    Any arguments with Vikings fans need only be rebutted with this- http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/#teams_active::12 It's the list of current team ordered by NFL championships and in reverse order for the amount of opportunity to actually do something (i.e. more cracks in the...

    Nemeses.

    1) Dynasties died when free agency/salary caps were put in place, and the 1995 expansion, so generous to Jacksonville and Carolina, evened everybody up. While there are still incompetent franchises that dwell at the bottom, the offsetting "titanic teams" don't exist anymore. And it was out of...

    This Team is Soft or Time for me to Eat Some Crow

    Personally, I don't think the team is "soft", it is just that the regular season and post season are "administrated" two different ways. "Speeding Ticket" penalties are called in the regular season, but less so in the post-season. More hand checking is allowed, more creative interaction by...

    Rodgers and the art of avoiding INTs

    I could be long winded about it, but this makes it pretty clear and concise what value Favre and Rodgers bring/brought during the tenderloin of their careers. http://pfref.com/tiny/Duop8

    Interestingly enough

    Thompson didn't blow anything. He took a severely declining team as constructed by Mike Sherman (and probably Favre behind the scenes) and in TWO YEARS had the team back in the NFCCG. All the while, he had a prima donna who thought he should be the de facto GM or get to snap his fingers and go...

    Buffalo -- official thread

    In this modern NFL, the home team gets the tilted field in their favor. The Packers get their love at home. The reality is you've got to overcome it if you're a top tier team destined for something special. You can't drop the ball. You can't get field goals blocked. You can't have 30 yard punts...

    Buffalo -- official thread

    Yeah, I'm waaaaayyyyy off on my "foolish prediction". Pretty much turning out as I predicted, give or take a little. Everyone else is predicting a final score, and I toss in a little pre-analysis, and I get my shorts eaten. As I write this, the Packers are down six and they've missed a field...

    Buffalo -- official thread

    Well, the Bills have roughly the 3rd/4th best defense in the league. Against another roughly 3rd/4th best defense (Seattle), the Packers lost. Against pretty much the best defense (Detroit), the Packers lost. Against roughly the 6th/7th best defense (Miami) the Packers needed the final seconds...

    Favre on his way to Lambeau

    But it wasn't just Favre either, as so many need to write the narrative. And given the talent at QB that has come through the team (Brunell, Brooks, Hasselbeck, and Rodgers eventually), it is more likely the "brain trust" would have gotten somebody and done more without Favre than Favre would...
