  1. Our special teams is so bad that they got a 10 yard penalty (of course) on the first return, start at our 15 and our first thought is “whew. At least he didn’t fumble it.”
  2. They need a damn turnover or two today.
  3. Didn’t Lafleur almost come right out and say earlier this week that Tom would play? Incredibly frustrating.
  4. It’s absolutely bizarre indeed that the Packers would cut corners and costs on coaching. It doesn’t count against the cap. They have money. I understand wanting to make sure to take care of your future, but the Packers are one of the most secure franchises in professional sports. They aren’t going out of business. And they aren’t going broke on their coaching hires, even if we want to spend some money. We can afford over $100M a year on two players but we always have to promote from within because we can’t afford to spend money on a coaching staff?
  5. https://www.profootballrumors.com/2026/01/bills-packers-on-radar-for-john-harbaugh#ref=home Some speculation that if the Packers are one and done, they may look to move on from MLF and pursue Harbaugh.
  6. I really want to win this. Not because I think we are going anywhere but because getting pounded by Seattle 38-3 in the divisional round would be a far, far better season outcome than losing 21-20 to the Bears, have them end our season, and parade it all over our face all offseason. It was easy to forget when they were so irrelevant for so long, but I had completely forgotten how absolutely insufferable their fan base is. But these are generally the same folks who root for the Cubs, and we are quite familiar with them, so it checks out.
  7. "There will never be a chance, and there will never be a moment that I will come out and say, 'I want a trade,'" Antetokounmpo told the Athletic following Wednesday's 120-113 loss to the Golden State Warriors. "That's not in my nature." "My plan is to be here for the rest of my career," Antetokounmpo said. "If they don't want me ... I'm not the one in charge. I am an employee." "I am not [going anywhere]," Antetokounmpo told the Athletic. "I am invested in this team. I want to turn this team around. I want to play good basketball. I want to be healthy. I want to help my teammates. I want to win games. The last six games we've played, we're 4-2. We have a lot of games in front of us. I'm locked the f--- in. I'm locked in. My priority is just staying healthy." ——- Giannis, 1/7/26 “Body language experts tell sources at ESPN that Giannis’ intent to leave Milwaukee is more clear than ever after latest interview. With Giannis ready to move on, speculation remains as to his next destination, perhaps in a Knicks or Warriors uniform.” -ESPN tomorrow, probably
  8. In Dillon’s case I was more saying it was just not a very good pick and a really, really weird one if you still had long-term plans for Jones.
  9. But his rookie year he was almost completely uninvolved which was my beef with our treatment of rookies. That whole 2020 class was just bizarre. Dillon in the 2nd, Deguara in the 3rd. It was kind of their last shot for some young help for Rodgers and they went all in on projects and supplementary role players. We can debate all day as to whether Rodgers was worth it at 26 and he definitely was in a vacuum, but I don’t know if he was to us, given how we didn’t get a piece for Rodgers, we had to pay Love before we really could evaluate him because he sat almost his entire rookie deal, and the guy we traded a 7th for probably could have ended up running the offense just as well.
  10. It isn’t just unique to Golden or the Bears. I mean you could have made the same argument with Burden, Loveland and Monangai that they should have been buried behind Moore, Odunze, Swift and Kmet. Hell I’ll argue that if Loveland had been drafted by the Packers behind Kmet, he barely would have seen a role this year. I do think there’s some organizational philosophy involved. This is the team that used a 2nd on AJ Dillon and then buried him being Aaron Jones for his entire rookie deal.
  11. As I look at the Bears roster, I can’t help but be irritated that they have four rookies playing significant roles on their team. Burden has greatly outperformed Golden. Loveland looks like a problem for years to come at TE. Trapilo is already an above average starting OT as a rookie. And Monangai is probably one of the better committee backs around. This isn’t a “Golden sucks” rant, because I don’t think he does. The issue is that we seem to treat rookies in Green Bay with little kid gloves and make them work their way up the depth chart before they get any real opportunities. And I’m kind of over that. If the kids can play, cut them loose. Holding onto the approach and philosophy that we shouldn’t expect much from our rookies and second year players and that you need some rite of passage time on roster before you can contribute is an outdated approach, and not a very efficient one when rookie contracts are only 4 years.
  12. Interesting. I heard Bears by 1.5 from the get go. I think it all fits the notion that this is a toss up game.
  13. The Packers aren’t favored. The line is Bears by 1.5, which is what I believe it opened at.
  14. It’s tough for me to imagine special teams really being any worse than they usually are in regard to coverage and returns. I say that and Duvernay probably takes the opening kickoff 99 yards to the house on Saturday.
  15. You hate to ever overstate the importance of one game, but is this the most important game of Matt Lafleur’s career? Win, and no matter what happens in the divisional round, I can wrap my head around the logic of “look, even with all the injuries we had, we were still one of the final 4 teams in the conference”, and MLF and Gute getting extended. I may not agree with it, but I can see it. Lose… and it’s a lot tougher to justify. You can still point to the injuries, but a 5 game losing streak to finish the season, another one and done… it’s not the best time to hand out an extension and just basically admit that the status quo is fine.
  16. Do the majority of posters here live in the Green Bay or Milwaukee television markets? Serious question, I don’t know. I don’t.
  17. We all know if that kick was for our playoff lives, Loop could have come onto the field drunk, blindfolded and barefoot and he would have split the uprights.
  18. I don’t have much confidence in us going anywhere this postseason but this is as winnable as it gets. I could see anything from us completely folding and having a Baltimore like result to totally getting it together and winning by two TDs.
  19. Every team in the NFC North finished over .500. Every team in the NFC South finished under .500.
  20. The Rams kind of did the same thing last year when they were going to get Minnesota if they lost who was 14-3. I think at the end of the day coaches feel there’s so much parity in the NFL that rest and health should be prioritized over opponent.
  21. It’s going to be interesting to see if there’s any effects next week of us basically having a bye week, while the Bears put a lot into the game. I’m not predicting a win, but you couldn’t ask for a more winnable 2/7 game. It’s a toss-up.
  22. Also, are we really that injured right now? At least in regard to next week. Tom should play. Jacobs got a much needed rest week. Receiving corps is pretty healthy. Unless we’re just saying we were sunk when Parsons went down, which may end up being accurate.
  23. Did Sinnott bet against his own team, or…?
  24. Definitely looking like the Bears are going to be the one to get the opportunity.
