Too long have I had to listen to the same boring drivel. Peyton Manning this, Peyton Manning that. Tom Brady this, Tom Brady that.á How talented the AFC is. How dominant they are. How poor the NFC is. How overrated the NFC is. That conversation is over. The conferences are finally equal once again, and the NFC might even be a bit better than their counterpart. Since the inception of the Super Bowl in 1969 (the first ...

Get your popcorn ready. Better yet, get your comments ready, because here comes the big one: Green Bay will face San Diego in the Super Bowl. THIS SEASON. Bold prediction you might say. Call me a fool will you? Even say I am crazy perhaps? Go ahead. What is the fun in making a prediction if you know what is going to happen? I ...

The similarities between the 1994 San Francisco 49ers and the 2009 Green Bay Packers are not as far-fetched as the casual observer may have thought. After some investigating, they are not necessarily mirror images of each other, but the same qualities that make up both teams are there. In 1993, Joe Montana is traded to the Chiefs. Steve Young takes over at QB. In 2008, Brett ...

Bill Belichick can no longer handle being a head coach in todayÆs NFL. á The stress has clearly gotten to him. á You never want to see a coach wild eyed and wringing his hands in the waning moments of a crucial game. á If you have won three superbowls in the course of 10 years, it really doesnÆt matter what you do after thatùbut it is still in your best interest not to embarrass yourself ...

Being a northwest native, I was always intrigued by Pac-10 football. The self proclaimed ôConference of Championsö has been fielding great football teams for decades, including the ever dominant USC Trojans. When Aaron Rodgers started carving up defenses as a junior college transfer at Cal, I watched and wondered how long it would be before the NFL took notice. When he set school records while ...

Let's face it, the non-aerial portion of the Packers offense needs work.And if we are being completely honest, it needs a lot of work.Most teams employ a two or three back rotation, with different skill sets per back. This leaves defenses exhausted both mentally and physically as they try to stop two to three different types of running attacks, while also watching for the passing game.The Packers have yet to ...

Make no mistake about it.It is a one way street.Either the Packers offense is that bad, or the Bears defense is that good.Granted, it could be a simple case of jitters and miscues for a unit that spent most of the offseason  watching the second and third teams compete for roster spots, but tonight neither team looked on track when taking offensive snaps. In a game billed as a duel ...
