It's Always Next Year

Jan 13, 2025 | packerstalk.com | Mike Price

At the risk of sounding like a bears fan, I think we have a lot to look forward to next year. Last week I did the negative overlook of what we need to accomplish this offseason, so why don’t we go through some bullet points of how good the team already is this year. Try to feel a little better after that annoying game. – The defense was really good. Better than it has been in Matt LaFleur’s tenure (by far). And probably better than any year since the super bowl year.
What is the Packers Identity?

Dec 16, 2024 | packerstalk.com | Mike Price

Over and over this past season we heard that the Badgers’ problem was simply that they had no identity. No one really explains what that means – though you can infer that it used to be run the ball and have a good defense (until they play the top spread teams at least). The Packers’ identity is also pretty easy to divine. Let’s discuss. The offensive identity is probably clearer than it has been in years. Give Josh Jacobs the ball. Years ago the Titoons attempted to run an “exotic smashmouth” offense.
It's Time for the Packers Coaches to Start Experimenting

Dec 9, 2024 | packerstalk.com | Mike Price

The peak Popovich Spurs started the NBA’s player rest trend. The team knew it was full of vets who could turn it on in the playoffs, so they rested veterans often during the latter half of the season and played rookies and other young players who otherwise wouldn’t have gotten playtime. The Packers coaches could learn from this strategy over the next several games.
The Packers Offense is Inevitable

Dec 2, 2024 | packerstalk.com | Mike Price

Toyoathon has started and winter has come and the Packers offense is inevitable. Think about what you need for a successful modern offense. You start with a quarterback who can make every throw and a wide receiver who can stretch the defense—force the defense to stick with two high safeties, which they want to anyway. Next, you need a consistent run game. A run game that you can depend on in almost every situation. And a running back who will level up as the defense wears down. But, that’s not enough.
It's Christian Watson Breakout Time

Nov 18, 2024 | packerstalk.com | Mike Price

Christian Watson has been an enigma in his Packers career. Outside of a few huge games his rookie year he’s been more potential than production. That changed this week. Watson was shot out of a canon literally and figuratively in his rookie year. He had three hundred-yard games and seven touchdowns in the second half of the season.
Two Packers Problems That Must Be Fixed

Nov 11, 2024 | packerstalk.com | Mike Price

Usually we do positives in this spot, today we’re going to do some Packers problems at the bye week/halfway point. This Packers team is great at a lot of things and can challenge anyone but it also has some definite weaknesses that we’ll address. The most obvious problem with this Packers team is the lack of pass rush. They started the season with four (4!) first-round picks, a high-priced free agent on a third contract, and a few other guys on the defensive line.
Packers Positives: 2024 Week 9

Nov 4, 2024 | packerstalk.com | Mike Price

It’s going to be a long couple of weeks (unless we make several exciting trades over the next couple days). The Packers shot themselves in the feet so many times they were shooting themselves in the knee by the end of the game this weekend. We’re back with Packers positives to keep you off the ledge during the bye week. • You could argue that the Packers outplayed the Lions in this one, it would be stupid, but you could do it. The Packers outgained the Lions by 150 yards.
Packers Positives: 2024 Week 8

Oct 28, 2024 | packerstalk.com | Mike Price

The main positive in Packers positives this week is that we won. Sometimes you have to remind everyone that you play the game to win – any bad turnovers, bad coaching decisions, bad refereeing, and simple bad luck are washed away by a 1 in the win column. There’s plenty of other things to be happy about as well. • The WR corps basically all performed well.
Packers Positives 2024 Week 7

Oct 21, 2024 | packerstalk.com | Mike Price

Wow! The Packers again pulled victory from the jaws of defeat with Jordan Love’s first fourth-quarter comeback of the season. The Texans were probably the NFL’s second or third best team going into this game, admittedly, hobbled, so you’d think we wouldn’t need to focus on Packers positives, but twitter is as negative as always so let’s get into them. • Can’t bury the lede here, the defense is obviously the number one positive of the day.
Packers Positives? 2024 Week 6

Oct 14, 2024 | packerstalk.com | Mike Price

Normally, we talk about the week’s Packers positives in this space but I’m not actually an overly positives person, more an overly contrarian person. So, when the Packers have a meh game or lose and Packers Twitter is saturated with negative takes, I come in with the positives. When the Packers destroy a team that just beat the 49ers, it’s natural for me to come up with some negatives about the week. Let’s get into them.
