Aaron Rodgers speaks volumes both on and off the field

Aaron Rodgers speaks with both actions and words and nothing can emphasize that point more than the comments he made about fellow teammate Jermichael Finley this week, followed today by his selection as the NFL offensive player of the month.

Clearly, his actions on the field have caught the attention of the NFL, his peers and fans as evidenced by this selection. Rodgers’ play this first month of the season has been a spillover from the last half of last season.

To put it bluntly … this guy is on a roll with little on this earth showing signs of being able to slow him down. He’s got things figured out and is using his God-given talents, good coaching and the skills of those around him to his advantage.

Packers keys to getting to 4-0

apackphan — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 04:57:29 +0000

When the Packers hit the hallowed ground of Lambeau Field this weekend for the first time in three weeks, the team comes in with one of the NFL’s most prolific offenses.

Aaron Rodgers’ league best passer rating of 120.9 is impressive and the Packers’ 3-0 record highlights one of the franchise’s best starts, but it doesn’t feel that way, does it?

Green Bay: Future site of the Super Bowl?

Don't you think Aaron Rodgers would love the opportunity to throw touchdown passes in a Super Bowl played at Lambeau Field? Douglas Etten photograph

I’ve been saying for this for years … and because i firmly believe in the idea, I’m going to never say never.

Today when the unofficial logo was unveiled for Super Bowl 48, better known as Super Bowl XLVIII, it quickly caught my attention – it’s awesome – especially the snowflake emblazoned front and center.

Deion Sanders’ take on NFC North quite interesting

apackphan — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 15:45:49 +0000

Deion Sanders thinks it will be the Packers and Bears vying for the NFC North Divisional crown ... not the Detroit Lions.

It was interesting listening to Deion Sanders yesterday during the post-game sessions that run nonstop on the NFL Network.

Aside from his continued love pats toward the Packers … “I just love the Packers” … Deion left watchers with an interesting tidbit about how he feels about the 3-0 Lions and how he feels things will turn out by the end of the season.

While also saying the Lions were a good team and that he loves how they play, he doesn’t feel Detroit is ready to take the next step as a contender or even win the division.

Packers vs. Bears Q&A

apackphan — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 17:55:53 +0000

Mike Burzawa, editor over at beargoggleson.com, recently posted questions to lombardiave.com about today’s Packers vs. Bears matchup.

You may find the Q&A here:

Ok, so it’s time to rail on the officials again today … I just can’t let this one go … that is the inconsistency of the roughing the passer call we saw this past Sunday. Yesterday’s calls, two of them that I will mention here, were out of bounds, at least as I saw it from my easy chair.

The first call came in New Orleans when Roman Harper of the Saints took Jay Cutler to the ground. I can’t find anyone, even the Bears’ beat writers, who actually thought this was roughing the passer. It looked like a simple tackle to me. Nothing rough about it.

When pressed for an explanation, the official’s official response was that Harper had “continued contact” with Cutler. Puhhhlease!
