When I was in school, group projects were a boom or bust proposition. If you were able to surround yourself with the right classmates, everything was easier. While the classmates were mostly the same for the Packers on offense in 2015, the chemistry didn’t work out to the naked eye.

Read MoreThe Packers are taking eleven wide receivers into camp this year, but don't be fooled: the position group is already set.
Read MoreIt's understandably seductive when someone comes along claiming that they will explain these nuances to you. Pro Football Focus has filled that role since 2007, claiming to go "beyond the stats" to bring this insider information to the masses... for a price.
Read MoreAaron Rodgers was not the only anointed successor to Brett Favre. The Packers tried at least four other times to find an heir to the Gunslinger's throne. This is the story of The Prodigy, Tim Couch.

Read MoreFollowing our look at the Packers' offensive free agents, let's take a look at some decisions they may look to make on the defensive side of the ball.
Read MoreDecision time looms for the Packers front office on 18 free agents this off-season. 14 of those free agents-to-be are unrestricted, two are restricted, and two have their exclusive rights held by the Packers.
Read Moreplenty of little things have developed over the past month or so, and since we've neglected to mention any of them so far, allow me to give you an episodic recap, as well as a few predictions.
Read MoreAnyhow, there are just 11 remaining free agents, and you could make a compelling case for keeping most of them around, if not all of them. Some need to be prioritized, so let's take a look at each of them, tiered for your convenience.
Read MoreI 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.
Read MoreBack in the day when players like Brett Favre, Matt Hasselbeck, Shaun Alexander and Ahman Green took the field, these two teams faced off in two of the greatest playoff games of all time.

Read MoreSuccess in the NFL is a difficult thing. A few teams will make the playoffs, fewer still will make it deep into the tournament, just two square off in the Super Bowl, and only one can ever be the champion. 31 teams will fall short this year.
Read MoreIn more ways than one, Carl Bradford is this year's Johnathan Franklin. A fourth round pick, lacking ideal size for his position, Bradford, like Franklin, was expected to add depth and flair to a position in need of a shot in the arm. Instead, like Franklin, Bradford has slogged through and underwhelming and, at times, all together invisible preseason.
Read MoreA bulldozing touchdown run is as good a way as any to "jump out" on film, and of all the rookies on the field in Nashville on Saturday, Rajion Neal certainly did the most to earn himself a little bit of an extra look.
