    Dyami Brown on pace for 8 catches and 192 yards just like we all figured.

    All this hype just for Detroit to drop their first playoff game to Washington would be hilarious.

    Daniels shoved down well out of bounds by Kirby Joseph. Not called. Luckily they got a gift makeup PI on the next play.

    I sure wish they had shown a sideline replay of that 3rd and 14. That would have been such a huge turning point. Now things have really turned to Detroit’s favor.

    That awful 4th and 1 attempt by Washington looked like something out of the Packers’ playbook. And I thought that spot on 3rd down might have been worth a challenge.

    Not sure what his health situation looked like in October, as he may have understandably kept it private, but I wonder if they knew it was failing and that there wasn’t going to be another shot to win one for him after that one.

    It absolutely sucks that his last memory of the Brewers was Devin blowing a late lead in an elimination game of the playoffs. I know that if you could ask him, it made no difference to him and he had a wonderful life. I still hate it for him anyway.

    Why couldn’t we generate this kind of a pass rush against Minnesota?
  9. adambr2
    You could just as easily say they’d prefer to be here because of opportunity for targets as the clear #1 receiver in the offense. I highly doubt any receiver doesn’t want to come here because they’ll be catching passes from Jordan Love. If they have 3 offers and they’re all about equal, maybe they don’t want to play in a small town, maybe they don’t want to come play in the cold, I can see that. But because Love is the QB? He was a little disappointing this year, I’ll be the first to say that. But even in a disappointing year you could’ve done a lot worse.

    Nah, money trumps all of that by a lot. Calvin Ridley was the top prize of last year’s FA class. Tennessee was/is a dumpster fire with no QB, but they paid him, and he took it. Granted the FA class of receivers is better this year, but I have serious doubts that Higgins or Godwin are going to restrict their market to all but the top 5 teams just because Jordan Love isn’t Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen and the Packers aren’t the Chiefs or the Bills.

    Make no mistake, any of Tee Higgins, Davante Adams or Chris Godwin would be the #1 receiver on the 2025 Packers. I don’t think Jayden Reed is a #1 and I don’t think he has the ability to become one. I think he’s a versatile playmaker in the same mold as Deebo Samuel and isn’t a 1 in the same way that Deebo isn’t a 1. If I had to bet money on a receiver on this roster becoming a 1, it would be Wicks, which kind of contradicts one of my earlier posts, but that’s the degree to which I don’t really believe there’s a 1 on this roster. We could go back to the well in the draft. There’s a lot of good receivers being drafted at the back end of the 1st/early 2nd range that we keep passing on.

    65 million in dead cap charges in 2024 did hamstring our ability to spend as much as we might have otherwise been able to. The David Bahktiari contract absolutely crippled us. Signing him to a massive extension and getting basically nothing to show for it was devastating. Jaire is essentially turning into another version of that.
  13. adambr2
    Keep in mind it was the first transitional year to Capers’ 3-4 from the 4-3 of Bob Sanders. Guys like Aaron Kampman were playing out of role and position. I thought for the first year it went well though I agree that they no-showed in some big games. They built on this to win the Super Bowl the following year. The troubling thing is that they somehow reverted to complete dumpster fire in their 3rd year in 2011 and we’ve never had anything that I would honestly classify as a top end defense since.
  14. adambr2
    I get it, but Adams was a 2nd round pick with a bit more upside, Wicks was a 5th. I do think Wicks has value, I just think Packer fans (and I’m sure fans of all teams do this) tend to overrate their own. There’s plenty of Packer fans out there who think Romeo Doubs is a legit #1, because well, he’s our guy. I still recall folks convinced that Equanimeous St. Brown was a 2nd round talent, who, with great fortune just happened to fall to us in the 6th. Every so often a Puka Nacua slips through the cracks and fools everybody, but for the most part, these scouts are pretty good at their job and most guys still on the board in the 5th and 6th are in fact 5th and 6th round talents.

    I am fine with Tee at 4/120, but then again it’s not my money. i am fine with Adams. I am fine with breaking the 1st round no WR streak and taking a shot on Burden or Bond. What I do feel pretty strongly about is that you can’t go into 2025 with a gadgety Jayden Reed, a receiver like Wicks who struggles so much with drops, and a concussion plagued Doubs as your 1-2-3 and expect your passing game to improve.

    They were better than okay. They actually had one of the top defenses in the NFL in 2009, so I think maybe the defensive debacle in Arizona is affecting your perception of that defensive season as a whole, which is fair. They were a complete no-show on that day. I agree on special teams. If I am the coordinator my guys are ordered to take a knee on any ball kicked in the endzone, no exceptions. The small chance of a shoddy return team breaking anything big does not outweigh the risk of the many things that can go wrong returning the ball, which we found out yesterday. Just take the damn ball on the 30, every time that it is an option to do so. And for the love of God I cannot understand how we can get so many punt return hold/block penalties when a return doesn’t even occur. We’d seriously be better off with no contact and a fair catch every time.

    It tells me they still didn’t do enough to put their best foot forward in the playoffs. It tells me there wasn’t enough experience in the WR room and enough leadership on the roster to win games like yesterday. That “completely unproven” QB was a 1st round pick who will be going into his 6th season and apparently proved enough to earn a massive contract extension. I think we can start having some expectations of him by this point. Love will be in his 3rd season starting and you say “who says we aren’t rebuilding?” Really? If you’re in the playoffs, you’re not rebuilding. Is Washington rebuilding? Houston? They have more “unproven” QBs than Love. Every time you’re in the playoffs is an opportunity. And every time you come up short is an opportunity lost. At what point can we have expectations of them in the playoffs and not chalk up their losses to “youth” or “rebuilding”? 2026? 2027?

    Then don’t have an extremely young team in the playoffs? No one held a gun to Gute’s head and forced him not to supplement the roster with some veterans. We use “youngest roster” as a crux for mental mistakes and sloppy play, like our roster isn’t something we had control over. Having a young roster is great when you’re rebuilding and not expecting to contend. And I even understand it last year when expectations were really not there. But this year we were expecting to contend.
  19. adambr2
    I’m not calling for Matt Lafleur’s head, but he had a very poor year. 1-5 versus the North and 0-6 against contenders, almost all of which we looked completely out of sorts and unprepared. Not very impressive for a team that was expected to build on their huge playoff win in Dallas last year and close loss in the divisional round. His best accomplishment this season was the development of a strong backup QB in Willis. Aside from that, not much to hang his hat on.
  20. adambr2
    I actually am growing warmer on the idea that the Packers should re-unite with Adams. He was asked about it the other day and said he would not rule it out. I just think the fit is there, and not just because he was a Packer before. The Packers need a leader on offense, a veteran receiver who can be a #1. Adams fits the bill entirely and won’t be a long-term commitment at his age.
  21. adambr2
    Bears game debacle aside, I’m happy with Hafley’s first season. I think Gute needs to re-examine his draft philosophy and the kind of players he’s targeting early. He does pretty well finding talent in the mid to later rounds, but whatever he’s trying to do in the 1st round, it isn’t working.
  22. adambr2
    I agree that the “youngest team in the NFL” thing is way overplayed and old. Ok, well having the youngest team isn’t the goal, the goal is winning a Super Bowl. It’s one thing to have the youngest team when you’re straight up rebuilding. If you’re in the playoffs, and losing games with slow starts and lack of leadership, I don’t think that’s a positive. “Youngest team” means very little besides “prefers to build via the draft.”
  23. adambr2
    It’s hard to put a finger on why we didn’t really improve cumulatively in any meaningful way. Especially when Jacobs was exactly what we wanted and we got the improvement from the D that we wanted, but we still didn’t turn the corner at all.
  24. adambr2
    I feel like last year it was really easy to feel good about how everything ended and feel confident that we’d be back and better next year. I really don’t feel that after this season.
  25. adambr2
    He definitely regressed. He could use an actual go-to #1 WR instead of this ragtag group of #3s that fans mistake as “depth”.
