Packers 2025

Whoops.  Talked poo too soon

[Coach Nowlin]

HUGE LOSS for Packers.   KRAFT is a dude.

Orlovsky mentioned this earlier in the season. Immature is spot on with what this team is doing. And it includes the head coach and DC, the guys calling the plays.

Same story different game. The one visual stuck in my head is LaFleur marking up his call sheet during the game. I am not sure he can give up being a coordinator, but it just showed he certainly is not a head coach. Nowlin said it best that each game is independent of the previous games. But I now think there is an exception to that. The key for that theory has to include a team that wins. Performance after a win is independent of that win. But when a team is struggling and not winning games, then I do believe there is a connection from one week to the next. What I cannot figure out is if Love is over confident and non chalant (sloppy) because of it, of if he is lacking confidence and forcing things to try and make a play. Regardless, I think he is regressing. A huge part of that is on LaFleur. His play calling has not adapted to the guys that are injured and not in there playing.

Back to Back losses at home ..... wild.    but hey 1st Place Chicago Bears... come on down !!!  

[Irishman]

A win is a win, but geeez. Sooooo many dropped passes. Even the DBs were dropping the ball on potential INTs. Defense could not stop a thing all day, and comes up with 2 big plays late, a pick in the end zone to stop a drive, and a huge hit on Winston to end the game. 

[Irishman]

Defense was able to make some plays to help the offense. Offense is still inconsistent. I think it helped having to rely on other players than Jacobs. On to Detroit for Turkey Day.

Mr. LaFleur is an unabashed cheater, with no honor and no scruples.  "Time out" my ass.  

The Packers, already a low organization, have sunken even lower under his "leadership", along with the people of Green Bay, Wisconsin. 

 

[Irishman]

Nice win on the road. Defense got stops when it needed to. Love is so much better when he sets his feet and steps into his throws. Huge cajones on that 4th down to put the game away. Next up …..Da Bearss…seems to be a lot of pent up hostility among some Bears fans 😂

[Irishman]

Wow......another classic game in the rivalry, but damn. 

The Packers defense was on the field too long in the 2nd half. 3 scoring drives by the Bears and after each, Packers score in one play, go 3 and out and then finally get one drive to score to take the lead. 

Got lucky at the end. Good job being ready for the boot, but if the Bears run straight ahead, they likely get the first. Spike the ball and you have 3 plays to score. 

[Irishman]

Costly game.......and frustrating. LaFleur sucks as a play caller, but he is worse as a game manager; lost a time out on a stupid challenge. Losing Watson was a completely unnecessary call. Up 23-14 and getting a huge stop on defense, LaFLeur takes a deep shot. The Packers have not been good for several years now with the deep game. You have a chance to run the game into the 4th quarter. A long drive could have been a back breaker, especially if it ended it a score, but nope. Drive stalls and Denver marches down to score and trail by just 2 points. Packers go from a 3 seed to a 7 seed in a matter of a quarter and a half. And with the injuries mounting, making the playoffs is at risk. Also lost today likely for some significant time are Tom, Walker, Parsons, Whyle, and Williams.

This didn’t age particularly well.

😂😅

Caleb Williams has more receiving TDs this season than Packers’ first round WR draft pick.

[Irishman]

I have doubted LaFleur for a long time now, not just as a head coach, but a play caller as well. 

To be fair though, the WR/TE room was already loaded when Golden was drafted.

Sorry Irish, but kind of funny….

Packers find new ways to define mediocrity. 

They have punted just 1 time in the last 3 games and are 0-3. 

This season, teams that have not punted in a game are 8-3. 

The Packers have set a new standard in the Super Bowl era having not punted in 3 games and lost all 3. 

Packers are now just 1 out of 10 in scoring their last 10 trips in the red zone. 

They have blown leads in the 2nd half, even when having chances to put teams away to go up more than 2 scores.....and have lost. 

I have long been a critic of LaFleur. That will not change. He is an ok play caller, but cannot stick to what is working. He is a HORRIBLE game manager. He has no sense of when his defense needs a break. Even when they score quickly, it can hurt the defense. Last night, Baltimore has a 13 play drive last 7 and 1/2 minutes. Packers score in one minute, and Baltimore goes on another 13 play 7 and 1/2 minute drive. Packers had the ball just 19:44. 

Matthew Golden was the first WR they have drafted in years. I was ok with the move. Start him? Ok, no problem. He was targeted just 3 times last night. 

They did not throw to the TE once last night. 

This is the 3rd year in a row they are the 7th seed. Granted they drilled the Cowboys, the 7th seed is not a good spot to be in. 

I am certain that LaFleur is not going to win a Super Bowl in Green Bay. The team struggles in big games and in playoff games in general. He knows his system, and it's obvious teams have it figured out, and he struggles to adapt. 

 

 

[Irishman]

I will say this too.....LaFleur does not seem like he has confidence in Love, and it shows. I don't think Love plays with much confidence. Love also plays lazy. It's like he tries to throw off balance. If he does not get hurt in that Bears game, I have no doubt the Bears would have won easily. Not sure why LaFleur calls a different game; more RPOs with him having the option to run. And they worked. While LaFleur needs to go, at this point in their careers, I would keep Willis if it's an either/or between him and Love. No matter what, Willis will be a starter somewhere next season.

Austin Booker of the Bears was fined $5,818 for each of the 2 roughing the passer penalties in the Packers game, one of which caused a concussion for Love.

Jayden Reed was fined $10,818 for taunting. 

There's something SERIOUSLY wrong with that picture imo.

[Irishman]

With no pass rush, even the best corners in the league will struggle.

[Sparty]

That 2nd td pass by Love was an excellent play concept and execution.  

[Irishman]

Solid start for Love. Jacobs looks good too. Just cannot get movement in short yardage. Ben Johnson putting his team in tough spots. That last attempt on 4th down was just a bad decision.
