February 9, 2012 By

The Green Bay Packers haven’t made an official announcement yet, but

Ben McAdoo

NFL.com’s Jason La Canfora says the team has promoted tight ends coach Ben McAdoo to quarterbacks coach this week.

McAdoo has served as the Packers tight ends coach since 2006, when he came from the San Francisco 49ers along with Mike McCarthy. 

McAdoo replaces Tom Clements, who was promoted to offensive coordinator after Joe Philbin took the job in Miami.

The Packers recently blocked McAdoo from interviewing for the offensive coordinators position at Tampa Bay.

Packers are nearly out of the woods with coaching staff

January 25, 2012 By

Mike Sherman is reportedly interviewing for a second time with the Tampa

Mike Sherman

Bay Buccaneers with regards to their head coaching vacancy. 

The Oakland Raiders are set to hire Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen.

Indianapolis appears to be going in a direction that doesn’t include any Green Bay Packers assistant coaches, which means the chances of Mike McCarthy losing any more of his assistant coaches is diminishing.

A number of teams still have coordinator positions open, but Allen’s hiring in Oakland means Dom Capers and Winston Moss, who both interviewed for the Raiders opening, will be returning to Green Bay for now.

McCarthy and his coaching staff is currently in Hawaii, preparing the NFC squad for this weekends Pro Bowl.  Practices are scheduled to begin today.  Six Packers will play for the NFC squad with John Kuhn sitting out because of a knee injury he suffered in the Packers season ending loss to the New York Giants.

McCarthy’s 15-1 team had many issues

January 19, 2012 By

The Green Bay Packers had issues all season long.  It’s almost hard to believe

Mike McCarthy

they went 15-1 in the regular season.  But when it really counted the most, the Packers couldn’t deliver in the playoffs and they bowed out with a 37-20 loss to the New York Giants in the divisional playoffs at Lambeau Field.

The dropped passes that the Packers experienced in the playoff loss were present throughout the season.  But the fumbles were uncharacteristic.

On defense the Packers couldn’t rush the passer which is where the problems started, but certainly didn’t end there.  A league high 31 interceptions during the regular season gave the Packers hope.  But when the defense managed just 1 take/away against the Giants, the Packers couldn’t pull off the win.

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.
