Analysis Jordan Love was pressured on 44.4% of dropbacks through the first two weeks of 2026. After Green Bay reshuffled its offensive line, his pressure rate dropped to just 20.0% in Weeks 4-5, the lowest among all 34 QBs who played during that span.

Legacy Eight years ago today, Mason Crosby reminded us why you don't give up on a good kicker after one bad game

Post image
560 Upvotes

Just a week after arguably the worst game of his career, missing FOUR field goals and an extra point against Detroit, Crosby bounced back.

On October 15, 2018, the Packers rallied from a 30–23 fourth-quarter deficit against the 49ers. Rodgers found Davante Adams for the tying TD, then led one final drive to set up Crosby's 27-yard game-winner as time expired.

Packers win 33–30. Crosby goes a perfect 4-for-4 on field goals, 3-for-3 on extra points, and earns NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.

I think it's a pretty good reminder after Trey Smack's rough outing against Chicago. Even great kickers have absolutely miserable Sundays. What matters is how they bounce back.

Smack still has plenty to prove, I'm not calling him the next Crosby, but I'm not ready to write him off after one bad game. I'm hoping he gets his own redemption story against Dallas this Sunday.

Fandom Cooking the Competition - Week 6 (Dallas): Chorizo Corn Dog and Frozen Margarita

79 Upvotes

This week sees the Packers coming off a huge win against the Bears and now facing another long-time rival. When looking around for what famous dishes have come out of Dallas, the options were surprisingly lame. I already have better options for BBQ on the schedule, and Steak is too generic. I did end up discovering that Dallas specifically claims to be the originator of the corn dog (among other state fair foods) and the first frozen Margarita....I personally think that anyone who believes the first people to blend the ice into a marg were from Dallas also probably think Dez caught that ball...whatever

Decided to make a little twist on the corn dog to incorporate a bit of tex mex vibe as well: Johnsonville Chorizo Sausage with homemade batter and a chipotle dipping sauce. Margarita is a pretty standard blend of tequila, cointreu, lime, and simple syrup blended with ice and with a tajin rim for some flare.

Hopefully the Pack keep rolling this week. GPG.

News How do league decisions affect Jacobs’ contract?

17 Upvotes

Hopefully one of these days, the league will make some kind of determination on Josh Jacobs (seriously, Goodell, do your job). My question is, do the Packers have any recourse to keep any guaranteed money/claw back cap space if the league suspends him and the team decides to cut Jacobs loose?

Or are we on the hook despite the fact that we can’t even play him (and may not want him on the team regardless)?

It links to a redacted post and I dont think those are allowed here. I looked for the source of the OG post but could only find this article

Regardless, I know the packers havent really faced a lot of HQ quarterbacks, but they have went against some pretty stout defenses

News Micah Parsons wants to ensure 'all the small things fixed first' before return

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Packers star edge rusher Micah Parsons won't play Sunday against his former team, the Dallas Cowboys, but he said on his podcast that if this was Super Bowl week, he would play.

Parsons has not yet returned to practice since last season's torn ACL and meniscus and remains on the physically unable to perform list.

"The biggest thing that people worried about with me, they're like, 'Man, why ain't he back yet?'" Parsons said on the latest episode of podcast, "The Edge with Micah Parsons," released this week.

"If the Super Bowl was this week, I'm playing in the Super Bowl. But it's just about me making sure I have all the small things fixed first. What a lot of people don't figure out is it's not just the ACL. It's like, why did the ACL happen? What was weak? Because it all works together. It's a chain. And throughout the history of ACL, they notice if you come back early, there tends to be an overcompensation injury on the other side."

Parsons said he wants to make sure everything is right before he gets back on the field.

"It's like, what's the point of getting me back for four weeks and then next thing you know, my groin [is] bothering me," he said.

Earlier in the week, Packers coach Matt LaFleur said they're still waiting for Parsons to be medically cleared.

"He's a physical specimen, he's a creature of nature for sure and sometimes you've got to make sure that your body is, I guess, what's the word I'm looking for? Everything is just [in sync]," LaFleur said. "You don't want one leg to be that much stronger than the other leg is what I'm getting at."

Parsons was injured on Dec. 14 and had surgery on Dec. 29. The Packers typically hold out players coming back from ACL surgery for at least nine months. Parsons is about 9½ months removed from surgery.

Parsons had said during training camp this summer that he thought a return against his former team in Week 6 was "very realistic."

"So many people wanted me to be back for that game to make the game bigger than what it was," Parsons said on his podcast. "It's just another 'Sunday Night Football' game between two good teams. It's not about me. I think that probably let people down. 'Oh, Micah, he's gonna want to be back for the Dallas game.' No, I'm in that phase of life where I just want to be healthy again. That's it."
