Rich Eisen: Why the Packers Would Be a Dangerous 7-Seed in the NFC | The Rich Eisen Show

1. Matt LaFluer needs to step it up for the playoffs.
   His decision making needs to wise up a bit.

2. All 3 wr are are good ever thing love is the problem making terrible throws

3. Only way packers become dangerous is if Jordan love gets hurt. And suddenly Gary can pass rush.

4. It's funny (to me) the way the high priests of football punditry wring their hands and clutch their pearls and lament the absence of a "designated #1" in the Packers receiver room. It's as if the canons of NFL orthodoxy demand that there be a single, first-chair, marquee wideout, and the notion of Love having several very good options available on any given play is making them less capable. Sure, a "#1" is going to be the focus of defensive schemes, and if he can draw double coverage… well, that's the orthodoxy talking. It seems (to me) that NOT having a single featured receiver makes defenses have to spread their attention a little thinner overall, and LaFleur schemes up a bunch more variations than he would otherwise.

5. Why is Love / Kraft not synonymous with Mahomes / Kelce , Purdy / Kittle?

6. I'm a Packers fan. The media keeps loving the Packers, but we haven't beaten the Lions or Vikings. I'm not some 13 year old troll; I'll tip my hat and give respect to my division rivals. They're better than the Packers right now.

7. Are these guys drunk? The pack had literally 0 pass rush. The Pack has the youngest team with the least experience. A 1 WR is probably number 8 on the to do list here.

8. Bro
   They cant beat the 3 best teams in their own conference
   Washington is the most dangerous.
   Bucs and Rams would make a great game for the Packers. Not sure they could win that one.

   i say this as a Packers fan.

9. Packers don’t stand a chance unless they play Tampa and even then I don’t feel good about it

10. Lafluer is an average coach that calls a lot of bad plays.
    Love is inaccurate, inconsistent and makes bad decisions under pressure. He has horrible footwork, can’t scramble, drops back too far bc and has a slow release.
    We have no pass rush.
    We have an average defense that struggles against a good RB.
    Alexander is overrated but without him our secondary is average.
    Our O line is weak and can’t protect Love.
    Our receivers are young and soft, none are in the league of a Jefferson, Chase, or Lamb.

11. The big thing is, they still haven't played a complete game yet. They are the youngest team in the league and lack discipline, but if they can just put it together they can beat any team by a lot.

12. This time your wrong Rich, Green Bay is a one & done in the playoffs !!!

13. Packer fan here. Jordan Love is not it. Way too inconsistent, misses the long ball constantly. Hell, he even hit dude in the feet on a 3-yard pass. If it weren't for Jacobs this team would be a dumpster fire.

14. Packers will be one and done

15. It doesn't matter who is on the field at this point. Going for it on 4th and short, throwing stupid red flags, and poor clock management with zero timeouts remaining will end the season.
    On the other side of the ball, Jaire has to be on the field.

16. One and done in the playoffs

17. This team needs micha parsons or maxx crosby next year. Pass rush is the biggest problem.

18. The takeaway of that game for me is not so much about how the packers are, it was how well the vikings really are. Also the lions seem bulletproof right now so good luck to you packers fans you have a tough road to the big show.

19. Packers fan here, I don’t think so, they will be one and done. Love is mediocre, defense is weak.

20. Packers aren't a dangerous anything.

21. Watson has been healthy all year until this last week he will be back and ready to roll also packers were without quay walker Alexander and Devonte Wyatt also missed having Evan Williams at safety specially against Vikings receivers they get those guys all back for play offs and they will be a force on defense

22. Packers won’t be going anywhere this year.

23. Packers lost to the Lions because they had a touchdown taken off the board because of a terrible call, They lost to the Vikings because of a terrible offsides call on a missed field goal. Luck is a big part of football and it hasnt been in their favor all year long.

24. Packers are Overrated

25. Or a QB that can throw with some accuracy!

26. I’m tired of the media acting like this team is good and #10 is elite

27. Yall don’t get it, yall have no faith we’ve been in these scenarios before. 0-5 against the best NFC teams doesn’t look good but I can guarantee something that the Packers gonna make it a dog fight, if the Packers can start faster and get out of there own heads then I can see this team going through Hell and still making the Super Bowl 🧀

28. The packers are going into Philly and beating them.
    The one thing the packers have consistently done this year; they have stopped the run and have been dominant at doing so the past 6 weeks

    They will contain Barkley; Hurts isn’t winning a big game with his arm.

29. RICH EISEN THAT WHAT YOU SAID AT 20 SECONDS IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM A VET WR1 FOR LOVE THESE GUYS ARE STILL YOUNG WHICH THERE IS NO EXCUSES REALLY FOR DOUBS AND WATSON, I THINK A TRUE WR1 WOULD BE INSANE FOR THE OFFENSE OUR DEFENSE IS TOP 6-7 in every metric with our jaire so I could only imagine a CB1 If we were to have one, just to much inconsistency man especially Vikings just expose our Wide receivers they were all on locks.
