Packers block Bucs request to to with McAdoo

February 8, 2012 By

According to a NFL.com report, the Green Bay Packers blocked the Tampa

Ben McAdoo

Bay Buccaneers’ request to interview Ben McAdoo for their offensive coordinator position.

McAdoo, the team’s tight ends coach, is considered the favorite to replace Tom Clements as quarterbacks coach.  Clements was promoted to offensive coordinator last week by the Packers.

Aaron Rodgers, on his weekly radio show on WAUK-AM, said he hopes he’s in the loop on the decision as to who the next quarterbacks coach is in Green Bay. 

Rodgers told the show’s host Jason Wilde, “Because I’m in my eighth season, it will be interesting to see what direction Mike McCarthy wants to go in, if he wants to bring in a former quarterback with experience to kind of help me with the transition into the middle part of my career a more of an established player in th e league now.  I’m not sure what the dynamic would be with a coach who hasn’t coached the position before.  But Ben is a very talented coach and if they do make that decision, I’m sure he will make a smooth transition.”

Clements is the obvious choice at offensive coordinator

February 3, 2012 By

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy named quarterbacks coach Tom Clements his new offensive coordinator, replacing Joe Philbin who left to take the head coaching job with the Miami Dolphins. 

Clements has been the Packers’ quarterbacks coach for the last six seasons.  He has previous offensive coordinator experience with the Buffalo Bills in 2004-05.

The Chicago Bears tried to hire Clements away as offensive coordinator two years ago, but Mike McCarthy wouldn’t allow the Bears to talk to Clements because he was still under contract in Green Bay. 

In a written statement, coach Mike McCarthy said, “Tom has been an integral part of our success and our staff, making it an obvious decision to promote him to offensive coordinator.  He has earned this opportunity, and we look forward to continued offensive success in 2012.”

Clements has played a big role in Aaron Rodgers’ development since his arrival in Green Bay some six years ago.

15-1 means little right now

January 16, 2012 By

At some point down the road, everyone will look back at this record-breaking

Mike McCarthy

15-1 season and remember just how special it was.  For now, 15-1 means nothing. 

AUDIO: Charles Woodson says 15-1 means nothing right now :16

Packer Nation didn’t know how to act walking out of Lambeau Field after yesterday’s game.  They just watched their team blow up in every facet of their game.  The Packers turned it over 4 times. had a number of dropped passes, couldn’t stop the Giants passing game and gave up a Hail Mary touchdown at the end of the 1st half to go up 10 on the Packers.

Will the Packers defense show up today?

January 15, 2012 By

The Green Bay Packers defensive warts have been well documented.  They’re last in yards, last in passing yards, last in sack percentage and 19th in points allowed.

Can you possibly imagine the Green Bay Packers season coming to an end today, following the best regular season (15-1) in team history?  It’s pretty hard, but it is possible.

The New York Giants will march into Lambeau Field with 6-more regular season losses than the Packers, but just like the Packers, they’re as healthy as they’ve been all season. [Read more...]

The Green Bay Packers were able to rest a few key members of their football team and close out the season with a 45-41 win over the

Matt Flynn

Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field as well.

With Aaron Rodgers getting a day off, his backup Matt Flynn passed for 480 yards and 6 touchdowns, both of those figures are franchise records.

AUDIO: Matt Flynn on setting himself among some of the franchise’s elite :23

Wide receiver Jordy Nelson was on the receiving end of three of those Flynn touchdown passes.  That gives Nelson 5 touchdown catches in the last 2 games and 15 for the season.  That ranks Flynn 3rd on the Packers all-time list for touchdowns in a season.  Sterling Sharpe had 18 in 1994 and Don Hutson had 17 in 1942.

The two teams combined for 1,000 yards and 11 touchdowns.  Lions QB Matthew Stafford passed for 520 yards against the Packers defense.  Detroit wideout Calvin Johnson dominated Tramon Williams, catching 11 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown.  Stafford had five touchdown passes on the day.
