Packers rebound to beat Giants in New York

December 2, 2019 By Bill Scott

Allen Lazard

Aaron Rodgers tossed four touchdown passes to lead the Green Bay Packers to a 31-13 win over the New York Giants on Sunday.

Rodgers completed 21 of 33 for 243 yards with rain, sleet and eventually heavy snow falling.

Rodgers hit Davante Adams on touchdown passes of 8 and 17 yards, Allen Lazard for 37 yards and veteran Marcedes Lewis on a short 1-yard touchdown pass.

The Packers also intercepted rookie Daniel Jones three times, winning the turnover battle 3-0.

The loss sent the Giants (2-10) to their eighth straight loss, their worst losing streak in 15 years.

The Packers scored the first three times they had the ball, with the first two drives ending on touchdown [Read more…]

Packers dig early hole, throttled by 49ers

November 25, 2019 By Bill Scott

Sunday nights NFC showdown in Santa Clara, California was supposed to provide a measuring stick for both the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers.  It did just that, but it wasn’t the result the Packers or their fans had hoped for.

The 49ers put up a statement as they pummeled the Packers 37-8.  Jimmy Garoppolo passed for 253 yards and two scores as San Francisco improved to 10-1.

Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers felt the 49ers defensive pressure and was sacked five times.  He threw for just 104 yards and a touchdown, one of the worst performances of his career.

There’s a lot to be concerned about for the Packers.  First and foremost, they were the healthy team with a bye week of rest.  The 49ers were just the opposite but you wouldn’t have known by watching Sunday night’s onslaught.  The 49ers were clearly the more physical team. [Read more…]

Packers late defensive stand produces win over the Panthers

November 11, 2019 By Bill Scott

The Green Bay’s defense surrendered a lot of yardage throughout Sunday’s game, but in the end, they held NFL MVP candidate Christian McCaffrey short of the goal line as time expired and the Packers held on for a 24-16 win at snowy Lambeau Field.

Aaron Jones rushed for 93 yards and three touchdowns, the second time this season he’s rushed for three scores.  Jones is the first Packers player since Sterling Sharpe in 1994 with multiple three-touchdown games in a season.  He is also the first Green Bay running back since Jim Taylor in 1962 with multiple three-touchdown games in a season.  Taylor did it three times that year.

The Panthers got the ball back with 2:25 left on their own 11-yard line, trailing by eight points.  Quarterback Kyle Allen drove the Panthers down the field, including completing a 12-year pass to D.J. Moore on fourth-and-10 with 56 seconds left. [Read more…]

Packers hit bump in the road in Los Angeles

November 4, 2019 By Bill Scott

Matt LaFleur

Just when everyone was telling the Green Bay Packers how good they are, they went out and laid an egg, falling to the Los Angeles Chargers 26-11 on Sunday afternoon, bring to an end their four-game winning streak.

Packers fans out-numbered Chargers fans in a visiting stadium, but the Packers played their worst offensive game of the season and the defense and special teams weren’t much better.

The Packers had no answers for the Chargers defensive pressure and any adjustments came way too late to make a difference.

The Packers offense had been making steady progress and playing at a high level.  Then they got their top receiver, Davante Adams, back from a turf toe injury that saw him miss four games.

The Packers only had three possessions in the first half and they stalled out for a number of reasons, including penalties. [Read more…]

Adams returns to practice

October 31, 2019 By Bill Scott

Davante Adams

Pro Bowl wide receiver Davante Adams is back on the practice field again, trying to work his way back into the lineup when the Green Bay Packers face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday in L.A.

It was a walkthrough on Wednesday, but Adams returned to the field again on Thursday, this time in helmet and pads, a good indicator that Adams could be ready to play on Sunday.

“We’ll take it day by day and see how he does,” coach Matt LaFleur said.  “When he’s ready to go, we’ll be ecstatic.”

Adams missed the last four games with a turf toe injury.

Packers announce roster moves

After releasing TE Evan Baylis and WR Darrius Shepherd earlier in the week, the Packers signed both players to their practice squad.  The Packers released WR Keon Hatcher from the practice squad.

Adams expected to sit another week (AUDIO)

Davante Adams – File Photo

A week ago, veteran wide receiver Davante Adams said his toe injury felt a million times better, but he still wasn’t ready to play against Oakland.

Thursday, Adams said this week, his turf toe feels 2 million times better but he admitted he just doesn’t know where things are at yet.

Adams stretched with his teammates the last two days, but that’s about all he did.  He said he’s just not fully recovered yet.

The Green Bay Packers would love to get Adams back as soon as possible, but they also don’t want to rush him.

“I want him to come back when he feels healthy,” quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. [Read more…]

Rodgers career best game leads Packers past Raiders

October 21, 2019 By Bill Scott

Aaron Rodgers

The Green Bay Packers offense, under new head coach Matt LaFleur is really starting to heat up with Aaron Rodgers driving the ship.

Rodgers threw for 429 yards and five touchdowns and he ran for another as the Packers rolled to a 42-24 win over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday at Lambeau Field.

Rodgers completed 25 of 31 passes to eight different receivers, who all finished with at least two catches.  And he did it again, for the third week in a row, without his top target Davante Adams, who is sidelined with turf toe.

The turning point in the game came late in the first half when the Raiders were driving for a potential touchdown.  It would have given Oakland a 17-14 lead.  Instead, Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, while reaching the ball towards the goal line, fumbled and the ball went into and out of the end zone.  By rule, a touch back gave the ball to the Packers at the 20-yard line.

Sack celebrations a thing of the past in Green Bay

October 18, 2019 By Bill Scott

Za’Darius Smith

Za’Darius Smith is second on the Green Bay Packers team with six quarterback sacks and each one has drawn a more elaborate sack celebration.

“I had one for this week,” Smith said Thursday.  “It was going to be nice.  Coach (Matt LaFleur), he felt situations during that time could affect the punt team or (if) they want to go for fourth down, I’m taking up too much time.”

So for now, the sack celebrations are history.

Smith came up with the sleepy-time celebration that he unveiled Monday against the Lions after he missed a meeting last week.  He was fined and decided to let everyone know he got caught napping with a little on-field celebration.

Za’Darius Smith has six sacks in six games this season.  Teammate Preston Smith leads the way wit

h seven and even without a sack celebration, both should continue to cause havoc with the opponents passing game. [Read more…]

Packers add receiver help, sign Grant

October 17, 2019 By Bill Scott

Jace Sternberger

The Green Bay Packers could be thin at wide receiver this week when they face the Oakland Raiders, so they went out and added some veteran depth at the position this week.

The Packers signed sixth-year wide receiver Ryan Grant, who has 123 receptions for 1,333 yards and seven touchdowns.   A former fifth round pick by the Washington Redskins in 2014, had career-high totals of 45 catches for 573 yards and four touchdowns with the Redskins in 2017.

Grant went on to sign a four-year, $29 million free agent deal with the Baltimore Ravens in 2018, but he was let go when he failed his physical.  Grant then signed a one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts for $5 million.  He caught 35 passes for the Colts before moving on this season, signing with the Oakland Raiders.

With the Raiders, Grant caught four passes for 14 yards in two games this season before being released. [Read more…]

Packers comeback beats Lions in MNF

October 15, 2019 By Bill Scott

Mason Crosby

Mason Crosby’s chip-shot 23-yard field goal as time expired gave the Green Bay Packers a 23-22 win over the Detroit Lions in Monday Night Football action at Lambeau Field.

After the ball sailed through the uprights, Crosby took a Lambeau Leap, the first of his 13-year career.  Or perhaps it could be called a Lambeau Lift as Crosby needed help from a teammate to climb into the stands.

Playing once again without injured wide receiver Davante Adams (turf toe), Aaron Rodgers completed 24 of 39 for 283 yards and two touchdowns.  The second of those two touchdowns went to Allen Lazard, good for the first touchdown catch in his brief two-year career. [Read more…]
