San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh went from potential idiot to genius in a matter of a few hours after his hand-picked quarterback shredded the NFL record books in the divisional round of the playoffs. Second-year guy Colin Kaepernick who resembles a human-like gazelle on the football field ran for a NFL-playoff record 183 rushing yards on 16 carries against the Green … [Read more...] about Colin Kaepernick sets NFL records in win over the Packers

X-Factors for the Packers and Vikings playoff game at Lambeau
There's a lot of bad blood between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings who took part in two of the better regular season match-ups this year. Green Bay won the first round back in early December and this past week the Vikings took round two to earn a shot at a third and final round. With elimination on the table it would be easy to say superstars Adrian Peterson … [Read more...] about X-Factors for the Packers and Vikings playoff game at Lambeau
Aaron Rodgers and the Packers roll the terrible Tennessee Titans
Earlier in the season, it would have been appropriate to point out how the Green Bay Packers play down to lesser competition in close wins over the New Orleans Saints and Jacksonville Jaguars at home. Can't say that now though as the Packers (11-4) steam-rolled the Titans to the tune of 55-7. Aaron Rodgers was responsible for four of the touchdowns, throwing three and … [Read more...] about Aaron Rodgers and the Packers roll the terrible Tennessee Titans
Green Bay Packers go with a balanced look in win over the Lions
Balance was the word of the day for the Green Bay Packers on a snowy night at Lambeau Field. A breakdown of 32 rushing plays compared to 24 passing plays helped the Packers (9-4) overcome the Detroit Lions by the score of 27-20. Even the famous and tremendously funny Will Ferrell was digging the Packers on this night with his winter knit Packers cap and a performance of … [Read more...] about Green Bay Packers go with a balanced look in win over the Lions
The odds are stacked in the Packers’ favor against the Detroit Lions

Back and Forth: Packers win a game with five lead-changes
An offensive explosion which seems imminent whenever the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions meet didn't happen. What did happen was a back-and-forth game dictated by turnovers. The Packers (7-3) Aaron Rodgers wasn't perfect, but his throws were on the money when they counted as he led his team to a fourth-quarter, 24-20 comeback win. … [Read more...] about Back and Forth: Packers win a game with five lead-changes
The injury-riddled Packers beat the Cardinals for their fourth straight win
Injuries are as common to football as cheese is to Wisconsin, but the plague that has hit Green Bay is way beyond what any normal team goes through. After beating the Arizona Cardinals by the score of 31-17, the Packers (6-3) are legitimately without 11 starting players. New injuries to WR Jordy Nelson, OL Bryan Bulaga and LB/DE Clay Matthews only adds salt to an open wound … [Read more...] about The injury-riddled Packers beat the Cardinals for their fourth straight win
Green Bay Packers running game in shambles in 24-15 win over Jaguars
Despite giving the Jacksonville Jaguars multiple opportunities to compete, the Green Bay Packers held on for a 24-15 win in a game where it could be argued the Jaguars looked like the better team. Blaine Gabbert outplayed Aaron Rodgers and the Packers' (5-3) run-game was non-existent against a Jaguars (1-6) team who's one of the league's worst at defending the run. A win … [Read more...] about Green Bay Packers running game in shambles in 24-15 win over Jaguars
