0-5 against the top 3.
I don’t think we can beat the now healthy Rams on the road either.
With how we finished out last season to now, I haven’t seen a whole lot of improvement overall.
We are still a second tier team.

Packers O shot itself in the foot over and over. Only when the Vikings played prevent did we move the ball easily.

Minn out performed GB for 55 of the 60 minutes.

Cooper is the real deal at LB.

Ooh, and the refs gifted MINN 3 points on a phantom offsides.

[MadtownPacker]

The only consolation is the passing offense played like complete shit for most of the game. Yet at the end there was a chance to steal the win. Not much but fuk I need something to feel better about. Really terrible loss and I wonder if Willis could have been any better today.

Pass rush, or lack thereof, gave Darnold way too much time today.

Love wasn't good.

Receivers's hands were not good.

Edgerrin Cooper is a difference maker. Carrington Valentine looks like a starting corner.

Gary not a difference maker. Clark not a difference maker.

Daniel Whelan is fuckin' awesome.

MLF said Vikings played for man coverage than they expected. I wonder if that happens if Watson's out there.

Well that sucked...

I don't see them doing much in the playoffs regardless of seeding.

[Teamcheez1]

I would be the first to say that anything can happen once you’re in the playoffs.
However, I just haven’t seen that spark this year. We seem to constantly come up short against the top teams i.e. we’re not one of them.

Getting swept by Minnesota and Detroit will never constitute a successful season. Zero signature wins this season. I don’t constitute Seattle as a signature win.

They're a worse team this year for sure.

Lotta ballgame left. They will be the second best team in the NFC when all is said and done. Maybe 3rd. Nobody is beating the Eagles when the Lions are this banged up though. And nobody is beating the Chieftans.

[Joemailman]

They're a worse team this year for sure.

I don't think so. They're probably going to win 3 more games than they won last year. People tend to forget they had a 3 week stretch last December where they lost to a bad Giants team, lost to Tampa Bay at home and barely beat a terrible Panthers team. It wasn't all great. Both teams lack the consistency to go all the way.

[Teamcheez1]

I would like to see a comparison of Love's stats for the last 8 games of the 2023 season versus the last 8 games of this season.
Throw out the first half of both seasons.
I want to see how they match up.

At the end of the day, if we pitted this team against the 2010 Packers, this team would do to that squad what the 49ers and Seahawks did to us in those ensuing years, which is beat us with a better team and an inferior quarterback.

If this team had a prime Aaron Rodgers or Brett Favre, we'd be in first place.

The passing game is inept. I had hella high confidence going into this year with Loves potential progress and his ceiling for year 2. He's regressed. Receivers are to blame partly but love makes too many errant throws. The offense is sputtering in the pass game, and MLF knew it too, right around the time about 6weeks ago we decided the offense would go through Jacobs and the run, and the balance shifted from being slightly more pass to slightly more run and working off play action. Thats not showing confidence in your quarterback

And someone mentioned the offense coming out onto the field first with the deferral story. MLF is attempting to instill a sense of confidence but strategically you lose a lot and then when you dont score, now youre giving up basically 2 possessions. Dont get me started on the 2min offense, fucking lucky Minnesota coffee up 60secs there or they could have scored, and our guy goes 3 and out? I dont care if you trot out the 85bears, move the fucking ball.

This game shifted momentum on the first FG, instead of going for it on 4th they kick a fg, then Reed seals the shift in momentum by dropping the 4th down throw.

Loves just not cutting it. His intermediate passing game is average, he misses open guys, the guys who are schemed and open running free are somehow invisible. When he throws a deep ball up to Melton that said everything about his down field vision and his ability to break down coverage, seen it too many timea this year when he goes deep its not because he sees something to exploit its because the play is called for it to go to that guy. Smart coaches see through all that bullshit, you cant sugarcoat if a guy has it or you end up giving a JAG a jay cutler contract and you're hoping the belief around him and his own personal growth will bridge everyone into beleiving hes your franshice qb.

Oh well, hes 25/26. In 18mths we'll get to see what these guys do with him cos atm hes the reason we're not putting up 30plus every game. Hate to say it but a prime qb with this offense and playcalling should look like what darnold looks in Minnesota offense

They just did Have a stretch of 5 games scoring 30+ per game. Who the hell scores 30+ every game? Packers are 6th in the NFL in points scored.
