Dak Prescott injury: This is why players hold out
By Sonja Greenfield //@Mom23RN
By the time you’re reading this, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has had his surgery, is most likely getting IV antibiotics, and has at least had one person from physical therapy visit him to get him up and moving.
My heart hurts for that young man. Absolutely hurts.
This is why players hold out.

Coaching Carousel 2020
Senior NFL Reporter
NFC West / AFC West
By Dayna O’Gorman //@DaynaOG
As we head into January 2020, teams that didn’t make the playoffs need to look inward to see what went wrong. Every season there are changes that have to be made, changes that probably should be made then aren’t, and changes that feel like they change a franchise. Often those changes start with the head coaches.
Being a head coach in the NFL is a very hard job. Something only a large handful has been able to execute well. Teams are constantly on the lookout for “the guy”. The one that will be there for years, bringing success to the franchise. This year, we have 4 teams, possibly 5, that are once again on the hunt for a new head coach. Let’s take a look at who they may hiring.
Blowing up the Browns – Again…
You’ve heard of the HBO series “Hard Knocks,” right? And the Amazon series “All or Nothing.” Well, welcome to the newest addition to the NFL Docu-drama scene: “Blowing up the Browns!”
Yep – it’s that time of year again…. time to change the batteries in your smoke alarms, change the filters in your furnace, and change head coaches in Cleveland.
But wait, there’s more! This year, in a surprising plot twist, they’re also revamping the entire front office! Continue reading “Blowing up the Browns – Again…”
Packers playoff hopes will be made or lost in Chicago
Green Bay Packers Reporter
By Lucy Rendler-Kaplan //@Lucyrk78
It was pretty strange not seeing Mike McCarthy on the sidelines Sunday when the Green Bay Packers welcomed the Atlanta Falcons.
And while it’s still too early to make any big statements on the future of this season for the Packers, we have to love seeing the team put up a season-high 34 points.
I feel like the Packers played with more energy than they have so far this season, and definitely executed more efficiently than they have been. Is this Joe Philbin’s doing? Were they players responding to something they’ve wanted to have happen for as long as us fans have?

Packers fall to Patriots in prime time

New England Patriots 31 – Green Bay Packers 17
I bleed green and gold. That’s why I can say this. The Packers are imploding. They’re just not good this season. We’re more than halfway through the season and this team will not make the playoffs. And that’s not just surprising, but also very hard to admit.
Green Bay now sits at 3-4-1, (with the awful stat of being 0-4 on the road) and will have to make some major adjustments, call it run the table part deux, to have even a glimmer of hope for an extended season.
There’s no consistency to the team currently. More often than not in recent losses, Green Bay is beating itself. We saw that Sunday night. The Packers made mistakes, the New England Patriots didn’t. In stark contrast to our team, the Patriots made it glaringly obvious what a cohesive, consistent team looks like.
Mistakes, missed field goals result in Packers 31-23 loss to Lions

Detroit Lions 31 – Green Bay Packers 23
The Green Bay Packers were plagued by a series of poor calls and poor plays again Sunday, as they fell to the Detroit Lions 31-23 Sunday.
The most glaring – kicker Mason Crosby missed four field goals and an extra point attempt before finally getting one through with just 2 seconds left in the game.
According to ESPN Stats & Information research, he became the first NFL kicker to miss four field goals and an extra point in the same game since Rolf Benirschke of the Chargers in 1980. At one point, Crosby even changed his cleats after missing his third field goal in the first half.

Packers vs. Vikings- getting revenge
Official Reporter Green Bay Packers
By Lucy Rendler-Kaplan // @lucyrk78
I hate to call this a revenge game. But….
This is a big game. And I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared to death to watch it. The Minnesota Vikings are a VERY good team. I actually think the Vikings are a better overall team, although the Packers have the better quarterback.
And no one is forgetting that they broke quarterback Aaron Rodgers last year.
Will they be subtly trying to injure him again? I hate to think that, but I just can’t help it. They know that they can stop the Packers from sweeping the division. To top it all off, Rodgers isn’t fully healthy. Which the Packers absolutely need when facing a team of Minnesota’s caliber.
The Packers hold a 59-52-2 edge in this rivalry although the Vikings have won three of the last four meetings including a sweep of both games in 2017.
A narrow win for the Packers on week 1
By Marcela Vargas// @Marce_Vargas88
Green Bay Packers 24 – Chicago Bears 23
An injured Aaron Rodgers pulled Green Bay out from under a 20 point difference against Chicago.
This amount of emotion should not be knocking at Green Bay’s door this early in the season. The Packers narrowly escaped a loss on Sunday night at Lambeau, after the Chicago Bears led the game 20-0 up until the 3rd quarter.
The Packers had a rough start to the game. The defense failed to perform at top level and allowed Chicago to score early in the 1st quarter. The offensive line had trouble protecting quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who in turn took a while to warm up to his new offense, one that doesn’t include longtime Packers wide receiver, Jordy Nelson. There were a few passes Rodgers threw to former Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham that had Nelson’s name all over them.
