It's time for the Packers to stop being stubborn and stop screwing around. Play the good players. Stop with the pet projects. www.acmepackingcompany.com/analysis/720...

There doesn't have to be meaning behind every game. Sometimes you just shit the bed. www.acmepackingcompany.com/analysis/714...

The Packers run game started out slow against the Lions but @rcon14.bsky.social looks at how it picked up in the 2nd half and why it should improve against the Commanders. www.acmepackingcompany.com/packers-film...

Excited. Anxious. Scared? Yes, but driven more than ever. Today, I announce a new Substack covering Badgers football, volleyball and recruiting called Badger Observer. See what’s in store and what’ll be different. And it’s only $50 annually to start.

If the medicals check out (which is probably why Horton is visiting), I wouldn't be mad if they took him in the second. He's got the juice and the wiggle.

From last night: see what types of guys Green Bay will be looking at to backfill OL depth and prepare for 2026

Mehhhhhhhhhhhh

Today is a good day to contact your representative (particularly if you have a GOP senator) and ask them to support the Trade Review Act of 2025

Time to confirm all of my priors

People are annoyed when Brook doesn't block every shot. And people are annoyed when AJ misses the wide open 3 or fouls. Because they're loud and obvious. But possession to possession they keep propping up the numbers. Imperfect players. Who cover critical roles.

“There is a policy failure haunting blue states. It has become too hard to build and too expensive to live in the places where Democrats govern.” @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social

If you click the link and read the article you'd note that I both said that was the case in 2024 and also noted that he had the 15th lowest drop rate in the league in 2023.

Signing a Kupp or a player in that mold would be a waste. Just give those snaps to Wicks. Unless the vet can stretch the field vertically, just take it to the draft. www.acmepackingcompany.com/2025/3/13/24...

I'd like to see Dante Fowler signed sooner rather than later

The Bryce Huff deal has to be on the mount rushmore of worst moves Howie Roseman has ever made. What a mess of a contract.

Trey Hendrickson you are the entire menu right now, buddy

I would have done the Chase Young deal without thinking twice. The medicals must just be grotesque or something.

The test for the org is are they gonna be okay committing money to a legit poor run blocker

We're down to one good EDGE remaining in FA: Chase Young

Spoon now saying the plan is Jenkins at C. So that was a fun ten minutes.

@richjmadrid.bsky.social told me Aaron Banks is good, so I'm on board

Darnold behind that OL and with that WR corps is nightmare fuel

they had to restructure Carr to even get under the cap at all. Young may go back to NO, but they'll have even extra maneuvering to do to make that happen.

Yeah, it's super quirky. Teams *technically* can't even speak to them until their contract voids because *technically* they're still under contract for next year even though everyone knows they are not because they are void years not real years.

Still at $0 spent with Chase Young and Byron Murphy voiding tomorrow

I guess if you just want a guy that is on the roster so you don't desperately have to draft one in R1, sure

I would have done this

It's why I think it might be Adebo (who is gone) or Murphy (whose contract voids tomorrow) or bust for them. Just not a position you want older guys at, generally.

Wirfs and Sewell being at 28 might keep him under 30, but it's going to be a ton of money (deservedly)

this is asinine

correct, his contract was initially supposed to void prior to the franchise tag date, but the two sides agreed to move it to tomorrow

because they have void years, they're not technically expiring contracts. A late void date avoids being able to be franchise tagged by the tag deadline and allows time for an extension to be reached.

GB has spent $0 and Chase Young and Byron Murphy's contracts don't void until tomorrow 👀

it turns out Darnell Savage was not the answer

We're 38 minutes in and GB hasn't done anything silly yet, so that's nice.

haha what

Makes a lot of sense. Johnson is super outside zone heavy and that's where Dalman thrives. Good work by CHI to solidify a really bad IOL in a week.

Gonna be updating this free agency tracker all day! www.acmepackingcompany.com/2025/3/10/24...

Yeah it's largely a threshold. Need to break X time for Y role. 4.32 doesn't make you a better deep threat than 4.42, bu 4.6 probably doesn't cut it unless you are a contested catch freak ala Nuk Hopkins

Wrote about how the Packers are in complete control with the Jaire situation, giving them significant leverage *if* they are open to having him back. www.acmepackingcompany.com/2025/2/19/24...

Chase Young checks a lot of boxes for Green Bay, including a connection to the DC. www.acmepackingcompany.com/2025/1/28/24...

This is why it's so silly to be uppity about GLP-1 use. The statistical likelihood of defeating obesity without them is less than a rounding error.

The Jordan Love extension is working out as intended. He looks like a true franchise QB. www.acmepackingcompany.com/2024/12/13/2...

just one more administrative burden bro. I promise bro Just one more means test and it'll fix everything bro. bro. Just one more administrative burden. One more means test and we can fix this whole problem bro. Bro cmon just give me one more administrative burden I promise. bro bro please.

I looked at the Packers' 4th downs this year, trying to figure out why Matt LaFleur isn't making smart, aggressive decisions like he usually does. I think it's mainly because he was smart and aggressive on 4th downs against the Lions the last two years but got burned. Now he's gun-shy.

The Lions, Packers, and Vikings are 28-3 Against the rest of the NFL. Outside of games against each other, none of these teams have lost since October.
