I haven't been able to bring myself to watch the final quarter and a half of Sunday's meltdown. I had to turn off the TV just as the Packers kicked a field goal to make the game 19-7 just past the midway point of the third quarter and return to church for volunteering purposes.

Football is a rare commodity. You're guaranteed sixteen games a year and no more. As Packers fans, we're already well into bonus coverage. Our team gets another shot this weekend, and we get another chance to see them play.

As we get closer to conference championship weekend in the NFL, there aren't a lot of media outlets giving the Packers a huge chance this weekend in Seattle. In fact, I think they're currently listed as a seven point underdog!

The Seahawks' secondary is getting all kinds of publicity leading up to this weekend's NFC Championship, and for good reason: they're really good. They've thoroughly flummoxed just about every top-flight quarterback they've faced, including Aaron Rodgers in Week 1.

The benefits of a first round bye in the NFL playoffs is coming more and more into question, at least in terms of how much it helps the team taking the bye. No one, however, can debate the benefits for the media.

When you look at the Dallas Cowboys' defensive roster, there aren't any huge names that jump off the screen at you. I'll give you a second to name one, go ahead.

The sky has fallen. Aaron Rodgers is mortal. The Packers have lost a game and nothing will ever be the same again.

Woof. Ugh. Ouch. Yikes. Choose any of these words - or add your own - to describe the fantasy performance by the Packers offense this past week in Buffalo.

It's Week 15, folks. Are you still in the running for your league's coveted championship trophy, or are you now playing for pride and doing your best not to finish last?

A crazy Week 2 is in the books. The Pack finishes with a comeback win, and so does my fantasy team! (Thanks, Andrew Luck!) But before we dive into the studs and duds from this past week, let's see how my predictions fared. Gulp...

I really want to be extraordinarily excited about this win, but the first quarter and a half still bothers me.

Stop me if you've heard this one: the Packers are in an 0-1 hole after Week 1. Really? You haven't heard that one?

Week 1 of the fantasy football season is in the books. We had some NFL elites put up some pretty measly numbers, and some no-namers blow the roof off.

Of the 11 quarterbacks drafted in the 2013 NFL Draft, only three started a game last year: E.J. Manuel, Geno Smith, and Mike Glennon. With Josh McCown installed as the starter (for now) in Tampa, leaving only Manuel and Smith as the returning starters for their teams.
