I feel like a MLF offense against this Packers defense could lead to 30 play drives spanning multiple quarters, burning 3 timeouts, and resulting in no points

Yeah, but if your entire offense gets hung up on a stat like that, you wind up making scoring points much harder on yourself than you need to. I think the Packer offense spends too much time trying to do everything well, instead of finding an identity that fits their personnel and force opponents to stop what they can do great.

Unless a team knocks the Brewer's socks off, I think there is 0 percent chance Peralta gets traded before the 2026 season starts - This of all seasons should be the year the Brewers retain and stockpile as much talent as they already have in the organization, because I think there's a legit shot there won't be a 2027 season. Not the offseason for the Brewers to trade proven MLB quality for prospects - especially considering the depth they already have in their system

The other HUGE problem with the Packer offense right now is it can't run the ball in big chunks against 7 man or even 6 man fronts, allowing defenses to sit back in shell coverages and force the passing game into chain-moving routes instead of having more space to get open downfield. Part of that is Jacobs playing through that calf/leg injury limiting his explosiveness, but the line has to run block better against fronts that should be very friendly to run against.

The point of playing offense is to score points - the longer a possession goes, the better chance a penalty, drop, sack, turnover, etc happens to kill a drive and force a punt with no points. It feels to me like MLF has 5-10 "get 3-6 yard" plays that would be considered chain-movers/high percentage plays, but winds up going to them way too often - so the Packers are constantly faced with converting 3-4 3rd downs any drive to score a TD. Chunk play attempts seem to happen on 3rd down, whether it's 3rd and short or 3rd and long. I think MLF falls into the trap of time of possession / ball control hyper focus and doesn't get aggressive with chunk plays throughout a game. Get a lead, playcall conservatively - and then trying to limit possessions on top of that hamstrings your own team's ability to put points on the board. Hell, wasting playclocks and taking too long to even get plays in plagued the Packers with MLF even with Rodgers under center....so the consistent issue is MLF and his playcalling. I get the mentality of playing keep away from your opponent as the clock winds to half, and of course as the game is ending....but I sure wouldn't mind taking the opposite approach and trying to score quickly and leave enough time on the game clock for your defense to force a 3 and out and give the Packers yet another possession heading into halftime - especially if you're tied or losing the game against an inferior opponent. I think this Packers team would be playing its best football if it's trying to maximize possessions to score points, and then unleash their pass rush - rather than playing into a ball-control type team's hands intentionally limiting possessions/scoring opportunities and letting them stay in a super conservative game plan the entire day, forcing your defense to stuff a balanced run/short passing game attack that they aren't amazing at.

John Gruden Robert Saleh ( I think he got jobbed in NY) Hafley, if they want some internal continuity but need a new voice running the show.

Its why the chiefs will never die...you pair a great qb with a great coach and staff who know what the hell they are doing, and the rest of the league cant find enough ways to screw up and underachieve

Yep, the Panthers were playing for OT and the packers couldn't even do that right

If MLF says "its on me" once during this postgame presser, Gute should do us all a solid and fire him before thursday night football kicks off. If that doesnt happen Gute should look over his shoulder, too. Two flat out unacceptable losses this season

Lions down late at home to vikes...players dropping like flies in that game, too. Something in the water this nfl weekend

I think the way this is going theres no right answer

No way...you hope Carolina finds a way to implode themselves

Back to the red zone...here we go again Sure would be nice down 4 right now

1st down 2 yard run, 2nd down 4 yard option route, 3rd down cross body backfoot heave into coverage praying for a flag

It gives you points and there is enough time left for multiple possessions for 2 more fgs that win you the game even if you cant score a TD. Going for it in that spot speeds up you losing alot more than playing "not to win"

You cant go for it there. You just cant.

Just ******* awful in every way, shape, and form

Im assuming this timeout is to draw up a gem with them going for it? Kick the FG and take the points

What the actual hell was that playcall in that spot Jfc

Red zone again...here we go

That would mean MLF has a few plays called ahead of time. Someone needs to radio him that the Packers can indeed get a 1st down on a series of downs before having tonget to 3rd down. Get a big play, then 5 yards in a cloud of dust the next two downs out and hope for another conversion - rinse and repeat

Can the Packers score a damn TD please?

If their gameplan in the red zone against any team needs adjustments, the Packers seem to be screwed in those games when they get into scoring territory. The Williams fumble and then penalty Palooza the second time the Packers got down there have turned this game into a taffy pull, when it should be a beatdown.

Wth with these holding calls. If the reason they are milking the clock trying to run the ball is because they're concerned the panthers will march down for a fg going the other direction, MLF needs to be canned. Absolutely abysmal
