OFF TUNE: Week 18 could get DEEPLY weird for the Green Bay Packers with Clayton Tune starting at QB

The Packers are trying to snap a three-game losing streak by playing their third-string QB. Even if the outcome doesn’t matter, Green Bay has plenty to play for, but what can really be gleaned? Plus, coaches cause a stir on Matthew Golden’s role and Matt LaFleur’s impossible task in Week 18.

  1. Hey Pete any chance we could get timestamps on every video to skip the intro and the mid video ads? That would get me to watch more episodes if it was more convenient to skip the parts everyone wants to skip

  2. Settle down pack fans. We will be just fine. Go pack go. We're just as dangerous as we were in weeks one and two. Its the frkn NFL any team can win at any given time. Lets Go. SB bound.

  3. Third round pick Isaac TeSlaa has 6 td’s so far this season for the Lions. How many td’s does our first round pick Golden have? MLF will never speak to it but after his firing I hope he looks back and wonders what might have been if he would have used MG this season.

  4. Packers will lose by 14!!! This team is garbage!! After this dumpster fire of a game against the Vikings, the Packers will be taking a 4 game losing streak into the playoffs… Lafleur coaching rhetoric is starting to get old…. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    Lafleur has ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY TOWARDS PLAYERS WHO PLAY LIKE $HIT! Walker; Rhyan, Banks, Hobbs, Nixon, Valentine, Musgrave…

    These guy’s should be BENCHED! Jacobs should’ve been put on IR and rolled with a healthy Wilson the last 5 weeks… Where’s GOLDEN? That’s on Lafleur.

  5. The Defense is a big Question Mark 2025 and 2026 too. Are the young players going to elevate their effectiveness next year. Better hope so. That Ravens game was a D heading in the wrong direction a team that gave up. Between an inconsistent o Line and a Dfense that cannot stop anything without Parsons give cause for concern in 2026. IMO this Season is a bust.

  6. A follow up to my question. It certainly looked to me as if this was a purposely hit to Jordan's head and then milk comes i n the coach must have told the guy to take Milk out too! It's not who's got the better team, but who can take out the other's teams best players, and since no onewho is covering the Packers are answering my question about why 2 other players got suspended in 2 other games, but both are our QB'S get taken out and no PR person ask or can answer why the offending players seemingly took out both of our starting and back-up QB'S, but the other players taking out 2 guys got suspended!?

  7. The Green Bay Packers are likely to manage the game with Clayton Tune at quarterback by implementing a pared-back offensive scheme focusing on a strong run game and quick, short passes to limit the amount of time the offensive line needs to hold up against the Vikings aggressive defense. The most effective way to support the offensive line is focus on running the ball and controlling the clock to keep the Vikings defense honest. The passing game will probably feature concepts that get the ball out of Clayton Tune’s hands quickly, like slants, check-downs, and screen passes. Matt Lafleur might dial back the use of complex pre-snap motion to give Clayton Tune a more static look from the Vikings defense, making the operation easier for him to process. Clayton Tune is an athletic quarterback who can make plays off-schedule. The game plan may incorporate rollouts or designed runs that utilize his mobility, allowing him to evade pressure and reduce the number of sacks he gets. Ultimately, the Green Bay Packers will likely tailor their offense to Clayton Tune’s strengths while employing a conservative approach to protect both their quarterback and their offensive line against a formidable defense in Brian Flores. The primary goal of this game is to stay healthy for the playoffs. The coaching staff’s play-calling will reflect this, likely avoiding high-risk deep shots and focusing on securing the ball to prevent turnovers, especially in the red zone. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛

  8. 🤔 Regarding Matthew Golden not getting reps. Its pretty obvious that GB 1) stubbornly trusts their veteran Heirarchy system to maybe a fault. 2) It's pretty obvious that this is also a business decision as they look to get a better "compensatory pick" when Romeo Doubs leaves in free agency.

    The true business of football. 🤔

  9. I get it that the Packers, as a team, have nothing to play for except the win. But, each game, each play is a test and audition for each player. How hard do they play and do they do their job when there’s seemingly nothing to play for? This can be a redemption game for the defense. Get last week’s putrid performance out of your mind. Put the Vikings on their heels and thinking “Holy Schniekies! They came to play!” And on offense and special teams, fling open the playbook and run all the special plays to perfection. Give the Vikings and playoff teams so much to think about and plan for that they short circuit themselves! Now, I need to find somebody to head-butt! Go Pack Go!!!
