Packers coach Mike McCarthy has parlayed the absence of a traditional owner and the presence of a transcendent quarterback into the kind of job security that few other coaches enjoy. McCarthy’s ability to escape scrutiny may now be coming to an end, and he has only himself to blame for it. For...
It will be interesting to see if the Raiders look any different this week, since they’ve barely practiced. According to Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Raiders canceled practice for the second straight day because of the smoke from the Camp Fire. The air quality index in the...
Much has been, and will be, said about the mishandling of the closing moments of Thursday night’s game by the Packers. It’s important to not lose sight of the fact that, regardless of anything the Packers did wrong, the Seahawks did plenty of things right. Quarterback Russell Wilson made some...
Cardinals General Manager Steve Keim was asked about the job security of coach Steve Wilks this morning. To his credit, he had the self-awareness to understand he might not be the guy to talk about it. Via Darren Urban of the team’s official website, Keim was asked during an interview on 98.7...
The NFL’s ratings continue to trend upward. Last night’s Packers-Seahawks game drew an 11.9 overnight rating, according to Austin Karp of SportsBusiness Daily. That’s the best rating since FOX took over the Thursday Night Football package this year, and it’s also better than any game in the...
Most of the complaints that some players have made about Thursday Night Football relate to health and safety concerns. (Plenty of players like short-week games, because of the less intense practice week and mini-bye on the back end.) After Thursday’s 27-24 loss to the Seahawks, Packers...
When assessing the wisdom of a coaching decision, perhaps the best evidence comes from the reaction of the opposing coach. If it’s glee, then the decision may have been ill-advised. And that accurately describes Seahawks coach Pete Carroll’s reaction to Packers coach Mike McCarthy’s decision to...
Packers head coach Mike McCarthy’s decision to punt on fourth-and-two while down three points with 4:20 left to play in Thursday night’s loss to the Seahawks began being second-guessed even before the Seahawks were able to run out the clock. It wasn’t just people watching the game from afar who...
The 4-5-1 Packers have yet to win on the road, and they’re running out of time to get enough wins to earn the ability to go on the road in January. After Thursday night’s loss to the Seahawks, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was asked whether any lope lingers for the season. Rodgers didn’t seem to...
Seattle Seahawks center Justin Britt was in a terrific mood after Thursday night’s 27-24 win over the Green Bay Packers. Nevertheless, he wanted to share some thoughts on what he felt were officiating issues in the game and throughout the season as a whole in the locker room after the game. The...
Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson dueled throw-for-throw, touchdown-for-touchdown, fist pump-for-fist pump in a game neither team could afford to lose. But the Seahawks made sure it lacked the great finish that has defined games between the teams, running out the final 4:11 to keep Rodgers on the...
The Green Bay Packers ruled out safety Raven Greene from returning to Thursday night’s game against the Seattle Seahawks. Additionally, defensive tackle Mike Daniels is questionable to return with a foot injury. The Packers came into Thursday’s game depleted already as cornerback Kevin King...
The Packers, who benefited from Dez Bryant‘s catch becoming an incompletion after replay in the 2014 playoffs, disagreed with Al Riveron’s decision on a Seattle catch Thursday. Both Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy were caught shaking their heads. On third-and-seven from the Seattle 6, Russell...
The Packers lead the Seahawks 21-17 at halftime. They could have an even bigger lead. Green Bay had a 53-yard kickoff return negated by a holding penalty on Korey Toomer. Mason Crosby missed a 47-yard field goal wide left. Raven Greene drew a 48-yard pass interference penalty on an underthrown...
Doug Baldwin scored his first touchdown of the season, catching a 6-yard pass from Russell Wilson with 8:03 remaining until halftime. It cut the Seahawks’ deficit to 14-10. The 14-play, 77-yard drive featured Baldwin, who had five catches for 30 yards on the drive. The Seahawks, though, have run...
Packers linebacker Clay Matthews grabbed the bottom of Rashaad Penny‘s jersey in the backfield. But Matthews was left holding nothing as Penny escaped and ran for 30 yards, zig-zagging through the Packers before Jaire Alexander tripped him up. Penny limped off after the run and has not returned...
The 49ers’ last chance to come from behind and beat the Giants on Monday night was dealt a blow when a costly offside penalty was called on San Francisco’s offense. And the 49ers are unhappy with the officials for the way that penalty came about. The penalty came with 32 seconds left, when...
Well, that didn’t take long. Only 1:14 into the game, and the Packers lead 7-0. On the first play from scrimmage, Chris Carson fumbled. Linebacker Clay Matthews got credit for forcing the fumble, but it appeared Blake Martinez got his helmet on the ball. Nonetheless, cornerback Tramon Williams...
Seattle Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright is officially inactive for Thursday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers. Wright has played in just three games this season due to a knee injury that continues to be bothersome. He had surgery after the team’s third preseason game in August and...
Late in Sunday’s win over the Seahawks, Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald was involved in an altercation along the sideline. Rams coach Sean McVay sprang into action. McVay, clearly not wanting his best defensive player to do anything that could get himself ejected or suspended, sprinted toward...
