Real Packer Fans Know: Why We Should Defend the White-Out Uniforms for the Upcoming Texans Game

 

Packers Twitter has been making me sick since the release of these new white-out uniforms. Look, the Packers’ traditional look is iconic and probably the most classic uniform in football. It just screams “football.” But I don’t get all the hate. A white-out uniform is one of the cleanest alternate designs you can roll out, and the Packers nailed it. Yeah, maybe the timing was a little off. A “Winter Warning” in October when it’s 70+ degrees? Sure, not ideal, but let’s be real: these uniforms still slap.

        Today it was also brought to my attention that little brother Bears fan Dan (@BarstoolBigCat) was talking smack about the white-out jerseys on "Pardon My Take." First off, I expect nothing less from a Bears fan. But for real, how can a Bears fan of all people chirp about gimmicky uniforms? It’s not like Chicago has a rich history of great alternates. Remember those pumpkin helmets? Or the Michigan rip-off helmets in Bears colors from Temu? Embarrassing. The striped uniforms? I mean give me a break!

            

Haters gonna hate. But we’re the Green Bay Packers and they’re just little the brother Bears.

Now, on to the Texans game. This is a big one, folks. First real test since the Vikings, and Jordan Love is finally healthy. The only guy missing is Devonte Wyatt, and he’s been a stud. Expect Karl Brooks to step up in his stead again.

The Packers lit up a weak Cardinals defense last week, but the Texans are no joke. Their front has 19 sacks this season, tied for fifth with the Ravens. Love is going to have to get the ball out quick against a middle-of-the-pack Texans secondary. And if we know Love, he’ll take a few shots and that’s just fine. The offense has been humming, even with Love out for a couple of games, they are averaging 27-points a game. Also, can we get Josh Jacobs more involved? The man has only one touchdown so far. If there’s two keys on offense it’s to get the ball out fast and keep it away from CJ Stroud.

Defense? Same story. The Packers lead the league in takeaways, and Xavier McKinney is the NFL’s INT king right now. Two big keys: pressure Stroud and stop Joe Mixon from running all over us. We struggled against Kyren Williams with the Rams, but let’s see what adjustments we made for Houston.

The Packers also have a new kicker this week, Brandon McManus. Now, there’s been plenty of chatter about his past, and let’s be real, it’s not great. But listen, Gutekunst has made a lot of solid decisions for this team, and you’ve got to trust their judgment. They brought in someone who can actually help this team win. We need someone who can reliably boot that pigskin through the uprights, and McManus might just be the guy.

This is a measuring stick game, people. Let’s see where the Packers really stand against a Super Bowl contender like Houston.

Packers Fall to Eagles in Season Opener as Jordan Love Suffers Grade 1/2 MCL Sprain

  Well, folks, we knew the season opener was gonna be wild, but no one expected to see a game that felt more like a hockey match on a Brazilian slip ‘n slide. The Green Bay Packers couldn’t fend off the Philadelphia Eagles and to add insult to injury—literally—Jordan Love went down with an MCL sprain at the very end of the game. Absolute gut punch. The field conditions have been a problem in Brazil, with Packers and Eagles players slipping all over the place. Here are consecutive plays on a Packers drive where their players slipped. 🏈😵‍💫🇧🇷 #NFL pic.twitter.com/qVhfOsdP44 — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) September 7, 2024 Packers and Eagles players trying to run on the field in Brazil pic.twitter.com/bbtEeesD94 — Shooter McGavin (@ShooterMcGavin_) September 7, 2024 Love’s injury?

The Green Bay Packers Top 5 NEEDS This Offseason

Image
There’s been a lot of talk about what the Packers need personnel wise going into next season. The big question is what do they need most? Some would argue a pass rusher or two considering the team that just won the Super Bowl didn’t blitz once. Others would say a true number one receiver to make the clutch plays when the Packers need them. There’s plenty of valid excuses for each position that needs to be improved upon going into next season. As for Real Packer Fans Know, here are the top five NEEDS the Packers have going into next season from least to most important.              5. Linebacker                    Before you say it, yes, Edgerrin Cooper is a DAWG. He is a star in the making and the best draft pick the Packers made from last season. Other than Cooper, the Packers could use another run stopper across the middle of the field. ...

It’s Packers vs. Bears Week, and It Doesn’t Feel the Same

Image
Evan Siegle, packers.com, Jacob Funk, chicagobears.com I think it’s been pretty clear the Bears week doesn’t feel the same this season. After all the offseason talk about Caleb Williams and the big free-agent pickups, the Bears still suck, and nothing’s changed. Honestly, it’s kind of hilarious. I don’t think I’ve heard more preseason trash talk from Bears fans before this year. They acted like they had it all figured out, but guess what? They don’t. The Bears have fallen off a cliff after starting 4-2, losing their last three games to the Commanders, Cardinals, and Patriots. Their offensive line is a disaster, Caleb Williams holds the ball too long, and Matt Eberflus is, without a doubt, the worst coach in the NFL. The decisions this team keeps making are mind-blowing. Keeping Eberflus around for another season? It’s still baffling. But, hey, I’m glad he’s still there for this game. Can’t ask for a better opponent coming off a bye. The Bears do not have a player on the active roster w...
