Free Agency begins with a bang Packers sign S Xavier Mckinney & RB Josh Jacobs, but was this a mistake? The end of an era with the release of Bakhtiari & Aaron Jones as the Packers look to get younger 12.03.2024 15:27
Packers make two huge signings, S Xavier Mckinney & RB Josh Jacobs to some huge contracts, while at the same time releasing some of the final major veterans on this roster in Bakhtiari and Aaron Jones. This is really emblematic of the shift the Packers are prioritizing youth and availability in these moves today. But did the Packers make a big mistake? Well I think they made at least one as th...
Campbell CUT will Bakhtiari and Aaron Jones get cut as well to make this team even youger? Talent in the NFL Draft should determine how we handle free agency; Compensatory pick evaluation 11.03.2024 21:51
The Packers have cut Devondre Campbell, will they continue to to cut the two other veterans on this team in Bakhtiari and Aaron Jones to make this team even younger? The Packers took a heavy draft approach last season and it paid off, how can the Packers do this again to maximize the NFL Draft and keep this team young? We do this by focusing on street free agents and the compensatory pick evaluati...
Free Agency Preview 01.03.2024 32:22
The NFL Draft is where the Packers will look to primarily this team with 11 draft picks in the upcoming NFL Draft, but there are some moves in free agency that the Packers may want to consider if they want to build a team with depth to make it to a Super Bowl. But beware, buyer's remorse is common when partaking in free agency and there are some rules you must follow if you want to win the off...
Packers surprisingly hire Jeff Hafley as their new DC, but is a better candidate then he seems at first glance 01.02.2024 19:48
The Packers have made their decision at defensive coordinator and hired Jeff Hafley to run this defense, but who is Jeff Hafley? We talk about that in today's episode, and just because we don't know him doesn't mean he's the wrong choice, and I would argue he might be the perfect choice based on everything we hear today.
The better team lost on Saturday, and the Packers RIGHT NOW were the best team in the NFC, ultimately missing out on a Super Bowl, something you can't just take for granted; Joe Barry is FIRED 24.01.2024 30:30
The Packers for the most part pretty much beat themselves on Saturday, even though they played like the better team. And over the last 8 weeks, especially the last two, the way the Packers were playing, we were the Best team in the NFC, and it seems crazy, but this was surprisingly our chance to go to the Super Bowl, and we can't just assume we will be back here because we are a young team, an...
The Packers faceoff against the best team the 49ers; Why does Bills reschedule hurt our chances? There are ways to beat the 49ers, what will matter most is limiting the mistakes in the weather 19.01.2024 24:30
To me, the Packers now will be facing off against the best team in the NFL, the San Francisco 49ers, and the Packers playoff achilles heel. And this game doesn't get any easier considering the Packers have a serious rest disadvantage because of the Bills reschedule, which shouldn't negatively affect other teams. We compare Lafleur to Kyle Shannahan, and while the 49ers are a great team the...
Wow I still can't believe it, the Packers takedown the Dallas Cowboys 16.01.2024 14:51
The Packers won! What an incredible game, we break it all down one of the funnest Packers wins of all-time in today's episode.
We shouldn't be here, but we are. Can we overcome the undefeated Dallas Cowboys at AT&T stadium? 12.01.2024 22:32
The Packers weren't expected by almost any to make the playoffs, but here we are. But we are matched up against the Dallas Cowboys who haven't lost at home in the last two years. This Cowboys team is elite in so many ways, has the highest scoring offense in the NFL, and so much elite talent on defense. But this Cowboys team isn't perfect and they've lost games, and the unique thing...
An elite performance by Love leads the Packers to the playoffs 08.01.2024 16:15
It was truly an elite performance by Jordan Love that gets us the win over the Chicago Bears to get us into the NFL playoffs. And this season didn't go as I expected, but it's better then I ever really hoped it would go, because we have found our franchise QB. This is an exciting time, and even if we lose going this first playoff game, this season has been such a win for the Packers, and t...
Packers topple the Vikings; Jordan Love has surpassed all expectations; Win and In; Preview Bears 05.01.2024 14:59
The Packers totally topple the Vikings and get a big win to set up a win and in playoff scenario for the Packers. How the Packers got to this point in the season has totally astonished me, mostly because I never thought Jordan Love could be this high quality of a quarterback, and he has been awesome over the second half of the season. Can the Packers do what they failed to do last season, beat an...
An ugly win keeps playoff hopes alive; Historically bad Packers defense; Jaire suspension; Preview Vikings 29.12.2023 19:01
The Packers squeak out a win against the worst team in football, and this Packers defense is taking it to another level when it comes to being historically bad. Jaire's selfish actions leads to a suspension as we face arguably the best WR in football. And we finish up by previewing our SNF game, which we must win if we want to keep our playoff hopes alive.
Joe Barry Defense makes Mayfield an elite QB; Do we have mutiny on our hands? Where Matt Lafleur falls short; How schedule could affect the decision to fire Joe Barry once again; Preview Panthers 21.12.2023 18:20
Another upsetting loss against a team we really should beat, mostly becaue Joe Barry allowed Baker Mayfield to have the best game of his career, this is really the statement game Matt Lafleur needed to end the Joe Barry tenure, at least we think. Matt Lafleur has fallen short on how to handle this defense, and I'm nervous he's going to do it again, even though there seems to be a mutiny on...
P#270 And there's reality for you; Gutekunst's mistakes on the defensive line are evident; Joe Barry & Rich Bisaccia could be losing their jobs; Rest & #1 WR play a big role; Preview Bucs 14.12.2023 24:58
And that's the reality of what this Packers team probably truly is after an embarrassing loss on Monday night against the Giants. This pass rush was pretty much non-existent and it's evidence of Brian Gutekunst flops as a GM on his investments on our defensive line. Joe Barry and Rich Bisaccia might be coaching their way out of Green Bay. Not having Christian Watson really hampered this of...
We just beat the Chiefs! Time for a Love contract extension? Hold your praise for this defense; Preview Giants MNF 06.12.2023 22:45
The Packers have one of their greatest games in a long time to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs! Now that we have seen such a great stretch of play from Jordan Love, is it time to bring out the contract extension? While this defense is holding to teams to low totals, I don't believe this defense is playing to the level I would expect from the personnel on this roster and Joe Barry and Brian Gutek...
Statement win from Jordan Love proving he can be a franchise QB; The Packers have a path to the playoffs? Preview Chiefs 30.11.2023 23:46
Being able to defeat a top team in the NFC really put Jordan Love's stamp on his career, and he might be able to truly be a franchise QB worth investing in. With that win the Packers also have a real path to a playoffs and even a possible playoff win. Preview the Chiefs in a game that should be enjoyable to watch because the Packers team and Jordan Love we saw last week has a chance in most ga...
Win another game we truly shouldn't have... Worst running game in the NFL; Jordan Love a top 10 QB in the NFL! Preview Lions Thanksgiving 20.11.2023 19:19
The Packers another game we truly shouldn't have, because the Chargers kept shooting themselves in the foot. We might have the worst running game in the NFL. Jordan Love is currently playing like a top 10 QB in the NFL! Why losing matters? Preview Lions Thanksgiving game at 11:30 CDT.
Packers lose once again... Lafleur gets defensive, but should the pressure be on Lafleur or Gutekunst? Preview Chargers 16.11.2023 16:15
The Packers lost again on Sunday to the Steelers in another close game, and while it's a bummer to see the Packers lose, it's probably all for the best. One of the main reasons we lost on Sunday was an inability to stop this Steelers rushing attack. This led to Matt Lafleur getting a little chippy and defensive in his press conferences last week as if there's a lot of pressure on him t...
Veteran injuries open up big opportunities for young players proving why Packers failed at the Trade Deadline; Preview Steelers 10.11.2023 12:36
Lots of injuries to veteran players on our roster gave a lot of young guys opportunities to play, and those young players did not disappoint. We had several notable players have very bright moments in the Sundays win over the Rams. This type of success from the youth on this team, reminds us of the fact that Brian Gutekunst truly didn't do enough to tear down this team at the trade deadline, n...
Mishandling the trade deadline; Why QB injuries might derail our plan at the #1 pick? Preview Rams 01.11.2023 19:42
Brian Gutekunst did trade away Rasul Douglas at the deadline on Halloween and didn't make any bad deals to add players to this team, but it still feels like Gutekunst missed a big opportunity to commit to a full rebuild and help ensure our chances at the #1 overall pick. While the rebuild could be something Gutekunst could control, he can't control the amount of teams the Packers will be f...
Mistakes lead to another loss and currently the #6 overall pick; Rashan Gary signs big extension; Gutekunst' should be fired if he's a buyer and not a seller in the next 24 hours 30.10.2023 15:15
The Packers lose again, mostly due to their own mistakes. One good benefit is the Packers currently now have the #6 overall pick in the NFL Draft. Rashan Gary signs a big extension, but is more evidence of Brian Gutekunst' failure as a GM. Brian Gutekunst' tenure as the Packers GM should truly be in question especially considering his decisions in the next 24 hours before the trade deadlin...
Losing after two long breaks proves this season is over; How do we win the rest of the year? Preview Vikings 26.10.2023 21:03
The Packers had plenty of rest for both the Raiders and the Broncos game and the Packers lost both of those games, to two teams who are bottom 10 teams in the NFL, proving this season is over. We talk through 5 things I want to see for the rest of the year that would help us "Win" the rest of the year. Finishing off with a mini preview of the Vikings game on Sunday.
Packers control their own destiny... to the #1 pick; Winning the Trade Deadline; Preview @ Broncos 19.10.2023 25:33
As the Packers face several bad teams the rest of the season, they are in control of their own destiny to have one of the top picks in the NFL Draft if they lose these games. How can the Packers win the trade deadline? What matchups should we be looking for in the Broncos game?
How can we lose to the Raiders? The Derek Carr injury in Week 3 might be the worst part of this season; Future of Bakhtiari? How do we move forward during the bye? 12.10.2023 16:49
How could the Packers lose to the a Raiders team that is just so bad? Looking back at this season, we might say that the Derek Carr injury in Week 3 might affect the future of the Packers more then any other moment. How does Bakhtiari fit into the future plans for the Packers now that he is having surgery? How do the Packers move forward knowing just how bad they are currently playing?
P#259 Defining moments that could change the landscape of the NFC North; Preview Packers @ Raiders MNF 06.10.2023 20:55
Thankfully the NFC North started to have some success with a couple of big wins for the Bears and Vikings. The next decade of the NFC North could be decided by a few wins here or there in the 2024 season because there are truly three game changing players in this upcoming draft class. Now the Packers shouldn't be in contention for one of those players, but it is possible, and we will talk abou...
Packers get outmatched against the Lions; The start of this season is truly a worst case scenario for the Packers future 02.10.2023 19:39
While the Packers record says they had a chance going into this game to defeat the Lions, they truly were outmatched. This highlights truly the state of this team, and how they compare to the rest of the NFL. Also, we highlight why starting 2-2, the injuries, truly highlight why this is the worst case scenario so far for the future of this Packers team.
