LaFleur is so out of his element. It is now just comedic. 2nd down runs out of timeouts? Why not, Matty. You got this. Leader of men.

I just hope Murf laces up those scrappy boots and bumps Yeli to Clean-up for Game 2. That's our Captain!

Man, Calgary sucks so hard. Can't believe they trades Coleman and Maata for ols man Middleton. Quagmire. What the heck were these Canuck/Oilers G1 and 2? Absurd. I imagine those Babcock practices were super fun for the Ouler goalies. Yikes. I still can not believe the Oilers signed Babcock to be their HC. Yuck.

Florida vs Carolina opening night is a banger. Definitely tuning in.

For crying out loud. NHL schedules Wild vs Stars twice in the pre-season of four games. These teams absolutely despise each other. Now, we have a superstar in Brock Faber out with a fractured skull (deflected wrister in what was a very chippy game) for an unknown period of time. Best case scenario is 2 months. Worst best case scenario is 5-6 months. Worst scenario is his career is impacted and he misses all of 2026/2027 and maybe more. Such a downer on the day of opening night. Man alive. Being a Wild fan is just pain. In the end, obviously all that truly matters is Faber is OK and he heals in full - hockey or no hockey.

Bump. New Brewers addition...

Holy heck. Unbelievably sad news. Let's just hope he comes back as fresh and on point as Knoth. When healthy, 2026 was already a disappointing season for Meccage (granted 5 outings is just not enough to base anything on). Here's hoping he comes back stronger with a renewed approach.

Legit the offensive line cut up clips we are seeing after that monstrosity of a game? Jacob Monk and Belton? My gods. That is some of the most eye-gouging work I have ever seen in a live action NfL game. It is borderline comical. IF I ever performed that way in any line of work I've had over the years, I would be drug tested and likely suspended or fired on the spot. Belton is a GUARD at the NFL level. It was a terrible draft pick reach at the time. It is made 10x worse by the mere fact the Packers, yet again, can't see the most glaringly obvious elephant in the room. It defies all reason Gutey and this offensive staff felt comfortable with their plan heading into this season. This alone is a fireable offense. Yet, we know there is a litany of other reasons - the buck stops at LaFleur and his anemic in-game capabilities. Their current inability to pivot and shift with the disaster they've co-created is truly amazing to witness. Get a FB. Build around the Play Action. I formation. West Coast offense. Please get rid of these asinine deep drop back operations. This just in: NOBODY in your offensive line unit is trustworthy to hold a block or know their assignment. You would think that might reflect on the offensive line coach? Nah. That's too harsh. This group of leaders is so out of their elements.

That looked like Belton again. That right side of the Line is a nightmare

Ok. I have turned that game off. Unserious football team. Unserious organization. What an abomination.

This is the worst Packers team since...?

This is a really really bad Packers football team. That looked to be yet another double block by the OL leaving yet another free rusher. Happens EVERY week.

Also. To Jim. To all the Link Report authors over the many many years:

It is a true quagmire. Who they chose to keep. Who they extended. Who they signed in FA. The litany of solid-performing former Packer OL'ers since leaving...it's truly a sight to behold. From the obviously sub-par coaching tandem itself to the personnel, it has quickly morphed from a decades long strength to an organizational weakness in very short order. Impressive!
