  1. They screwed themselves now ,cause in the playoffs ,they were gonna play the rams ,so with this loss ,now they play eagles ,and they can't beat them .1 game in playoffs and they are done .season over .

  2. Well our Coach has gone from being indecisive to overly emotional on the sidelines, and Gutes still suspect with his draft choices. Only Kraft and Cooper look like they haven't reached their ceiling , can't say the same about the rest of the Team. Where in a Quagmire , and draft price won't get us out of it.MLF can't get this team where it's supposed to be. Time to pull a Tony Dungy, or Mark Jackson on MLF

  3. That's awfully optimistic Xavier considering we've lost to the Vikings twice and we've lost to the Lions twice ALREADY. Are we as good as either of those teams? Absolutely NOT. Why? It's not because of Xavier McKinney. It's because of Jordan Love. Jordan Love is no Sam Darnold this season and he's also no Jared Geoff this season. Period.

    It's because of Jordan Love and his lack of progression from last season. So much so that coaching has had to reorganize the offense around a less capable, less accurate and less leading QB style of play. Don't get it twisted, the whole ground and pound with short pass plays to our playmakers type of offense is a reaction to, over the course of the year with the developing realization, that Jordan Love cannot be relied on as that leader.

    Jordan Love is the only thing that needs to be proven on our team as far as I'm concerned.

    The defense has improved, the rushing offense has improved, the o-line specifically has definitely improved, our kicker thankfully has improved, man I even think LaFleur has improved.

    The only aspect of our team that hasn't improved and has had to have been dealt with accordingly across the year is our lack of elite QB play.

    Period.

    Do we want to step up and show other teams that we can win in the playoffs?

    Okay, everybody keep doing the exact same thing you're doing, except you Jordan, you step up and make those important plays down the field when we need it without the fear or literal result of a turnover. We need to compliment our short powerful game that we do so well with an elite quarterback mind and pinpoint accuracy downfield at least majority of the time.

    I guarantee you that's the recipe. It's all on Jordan Loves shoulders right now.

  4. I don’t understand why they haven’t called up or signed other CB’s to get ready for this playoff run. We look weak in that area, and who knows wtf is happening with Jaire.

  5. Tom Brady understands that Jordan Love is not that elite QB. He's not playing at that level. And honestly Pete, you talked around it this entire video. Like everybody else, nobody wants to talk about how we analyze Jordan Loves play this season. It's a problem.

  6. The Vikings and Lions are playing chess while the Packers are playing checkers. By NFL standards I our ofensive game plans are an embarassment it is total vanilla. Love has regressed badly this season LF has turned him into a mickey mouse game manager.

  7. i’m glad we get the Eagles in the wild card. If we can’t win that game we don’t deserve a Super bowl. If we can beat the eagles, we will have to confidence to beat anyone.

  8. The culture of this team is too laid back it's non agressive attutitude can take you only so far . These two things need to happen first Love needs to work harder at becoming an franchise QB and LF needs to scrap his simplistic designs on offense my God it looks like 1970's packers out there he needs to adapt and grow or he can stay his mediorotic self.

  9. In my opinion, I think GB is done with Alexander!! I think at this point, Gute feels Alexander doesn't need surgery. Just let him heal 100% so they can get value for him in a trade in the off-season 🤷🏼‍♂️

  10. What worries me is that we did not have blitz beaters. Jayden Reed should have been a monster against the blitz but instead of getting the ball out quick to where the hole is when the defense blitzes we just took a sack

  11. Starting faster is another direct shot at Matt Lafluer for his conservative play calling in the 1st half. They need a head coach who will stop playing conservative, stop calling plays to not make mistakes or not to lose. A coach who’s comfortable in his own skin he doesn’t have to go to coach speak at every press conference. A coach who will instill discipline, aggressiveness, passion, and physical play every minute of the game. Matt Lafluer is a smart coach, but he is too afraid or insecure to instill the intangibles in his players and the team that makes them champions. Every loss this year have been to teams that attacked from the minute they got on the field until the final seconds ticked off. You can’t beat great teams by not letting your team be great every second they’re on the field. The inconsistent play of Jordan Love and other players is the direct result of the inconsistent play calling of Matt Lafluer. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛

  12. They fall behind to every good team. Then play catch up and fall short. That's not a sign of an elite team. Beat Bears. Lose to Philly. Season over. Maybe next year. Need an edge rusher or two. Where's Gary? Where's Van Ness ? No where.
