    I expect that when you draft defensive players in the first round, especially as high as #13, they will be ready to contribute in meaningful ways sometime in their first couple years and not be liabilities. That seems like a reasonable expectation. As far as your other points, that’s the way of the business. I haven’t looked it up, but I would guess that MLF is one of the longer tenured head coaches in the NFL. No matter what their regular season accomplishments are, you simply don’t see 10+ year head coaches in the NFL that don’t even have a Super Bowl appearance to their name. It’s the exact same reason that McDermott’s seat is warm in Buffalo despite all their regular season accomplishments.

    I, too, would like to see a Packer team that doesn’t require elite QB play to win championships. So far, the returns on the defensive investments are not going to be good enough for that to happen. However, as someone else pointed out in the game thread, your HC is this supposed offensive guru and your quarterback just got a massive extension. I think it’s absolutely fair to criticize the fact that in numerous big games this season, slow starts by the offense — slow to the point of being almost nonexistent in the first half, have put the defense in a really bad spot.

    Gute isn’t getting nearly enough criticism for the Packers’ inability to take that next step. He is at the front and center of all these defensive misses. There has been WAY too much investment in the defense to have this mediocre of personnel. I think Hafley, despite not his best game today, gets about the best he can out of what he has. You can’t take a Lukas Van Ness at #13 and get nothing out of it besides a mediocre rotational player. Can’t happen. It sets your franchise back, when you never get to pick that high and whiff at your one shot at it.

    “We’ve got to earn the right to play these guys again” Yup, you said the exact same thing after the loss in Detroit. At some point, you have to get it done, Matty Schottenheimer.

    I think it’s a fair statement to say that the 2024 Packers are a very good team that did not take the next step to being a top echelon team this year like we hoped they would, for 3 main reasons: 1) Their rivals improved much more than they did. 2) Jordan Love did not improve to the level that we need him to to be a top tier team. 3) We have not gotten the results that we need out of the defensive linemen and linebackers that we’ve drafted, developed, and paid to generate enough pass rush to beat elite teams.

    I have a faint hope that something can happen like last year in the WC round where everything just sort of finally falls into place, they start clicking and Philly is shocked and down 17 at half. In this case I think if you win that you can maybe finally build on that and start figuring out how to win these games and continue going strong. I am not holding my breath, though. Being overmatched seems like the more plausible outcome to me.

    I have to think that Green Bay and Washington are going to have the same day and kickoff next week. It wouldn’t be fair to either to know they can just rest starters going into the game.
  8. adambr2
    The only game that Philly has lost since September is that 3 point game in Washington where they had Kenny Pickett under center. They have the best running back in the league, a mobile QB, two high end WRs, and a top defense. I'd agree maybe they aren’t as well coached as the Vikes or Lions, but talent-wise, they’re among the best. I’d feel better about a 3rd dance with Minnesota or Detroit than I do about winning a game in Philadelphia.
  9. adambr2
    Yeah, I am fairly sure of that outcome, just as you are fairly sure that Minnesota will choke in the postseason as you predicted earlier today. Dallas is cooked. Did you see how bad Philly smoked them today? Yeah, they did beat them earlier this season, but now that they’ve shut down Lamb for the season, they have absolutely no offensive weapons. Maybe they try to play hard for Mike, but unless Washington is benching starters, I’m 90% sure Dallas isn’t putting up much of a fight.
  10. adambr2
    Well, the flip side is that Washington has a signature win against Philly. We don’t. That’s the tiebreaker right there. Win one single game out of five chances against Philly, Detroit and Minnesota and the conference record is a moot point.
  11. adambr2
    I’m not saying you should win all of them but if there’s supposedly not this much space between the field you shouldn’t lose ALL of them. Losing in the WC round to Philly, whether close or not, would be a disappointing season and step back from last year.
  12. adambr2
    No. We are the 7. Honestly, might as well rest starters next week. You know Philly will be.
  13. adambr2
    Congrats, Packers. Your inability to beat a single elite team in 5 tries is going to earn you a 6th try right off the bat in the playoffs. And congratulations, Raheem Morris. You handed Tampa Bay the division solely because you don’t know how to manage a clock.
  14. adambr2
    If he calls timeout after that first long gain there’s a good chance the Falcons get down in actual FG range. I get that you’re making these decisions in the spur of the moment but you’d think he would have learned from his botch at the end of the first half. Nope.
  15. adambr2
    I guess that’s why we didn’t sign Riley Patterson. What a weenie-leg.
  16. adambr2
    Atlanta’s coach is horrendous at clock management. At the end of both halves he burned a ton of time and kept timeouts in his pocket after big gains.
  17. adambr2
    That was a hell of a play on 4th and 13, but with this amount of time left I don’t have any reason to believe that Daniels isn’t going to drive right down for the game winning field goal.
  18. adambr2
    I know that was a tough ask but Penix has got to find a way to get out of the pocket with the ball (which he did) and just chuck that thing out of the back of the endzone (which he didn’t).
  19. adambr2
    Lol, great open field tackle, Terrell.
  20. adambr2
    Atlanta slowly but surely pissing away this 17-7 halftime lead.
  21. adambr2
    Sure didn’t work out that way in the NFC this year. We’d have no current control of our own destiny and be potentially on the outside looking in this year with a 12-5 record under a 6 team playoff format .
  22. adambr2
    Which is why I’d like to play in Atlanta or LA, preferably. I get the sentiment behind “just give us Philly and see what happens.” It just seems like a far less winnable game to me. I think the Packers are still road favorites against the Falcons or Rams. I’d rather have the best shot for an extra week and get to the divisional round at least again, even if it ends there. It would be nice to not take a step back and lose on WC weekend.
  23. adambr2
    They clearly do not have one which is the most frustrating thing. Against clearly inferior opponents, they’ve been remarkably consistent — which even that is kind of hard to do. Almost every team has a dud somewhere against a mediocre team. But against the true, obvious contenders, the Packers haven’t had the mental toughness to stand toe to toe.
  24. adambr2
    I do believe we can beat the Lions or Vikings, but until we actually execute well enough to do it, we’re the 3rd best team in the North. On the plus side, Lions/Vikings for the division and #1 seed is a hell of a matchup and pretty much guaranteed to be the regular season prime time finale. I'm disappointed to lose but I do take solace in having not helped the Lions.
  25. adambr2
    I’m just saying the raw statistics bear that out to just not be based in any reality. Seems to be more psychological than anything. I think you could make just as good of an argument that we don’t want to see either of those teams either because frankly, we haven’t shown that we can beat them, regardless of venue.
