I get that we’re short on players and some of those players we’d rather have are going to need to suit up. But the Minnesota game can still be managed so our top guys aren’t stuck playing a ton of high-contract snaps. If I’m the coaching staff, I’m drawing up a plan that shortens the game as much as possible by running the ball a lot, and a softer zone defensively that gives up underneath throws and encourages the Minnesota Vikings to run the ball so the clock keeps on moving. If our key players end up with 15-20 fewer snaps because both teams are running the ball on 3rd and long, that’s a win in my book. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛🧀🧀
what you think of Diggs to GB ? we have no good CB’s
It's a must win meaningless game.
Set all you can
Peter keeps getting dumber. Its why I dont listen to his podcast anymore.
Play all back ups and they win then what?
The 25 Packers will be the team to breaks first in every big game they play. Not clutch, will lose the turnover game. Has zero killer instincts. This team is weak physically and mentally
Chicago wants you too…"let me at em!💪🏻 lol
have you seen love act anything other than "nonchalant", or have a sense of urgency. or trying to look cool. I haven't seen him take this team on his shoulders and say I'm going to win this sucker
Bench the whole team and raise your draft status. There is some talent in the 1st round
Short of Jags Welcome to the 70s and early 80s Its entirely frustrating but packer's fans are still faithful
Go Pack Go
Show me one team in NFL history that quit in week 15 because they knew the season was over and then went on to win in the playoffs. Anyone believing in the 2025 Green Bay packers is a complete idiot. It’s OVER!!!!
If rest vs rust isn’t a conversation why did the packers play starters last year week 18 when the spot was clinched? Matt literally admitted it was a conversation last year. Of course it’s a conversation
Peter come back to this at the end of the playoff run..
superbowl bound!!
……..
if players step up😮💨
Did Peter just literally say it doesn’t matter if you’re going into the playoffs extremely hot or extremely cold? Going in winning 4 strait Vs losing 4 strait doesn’t matter? Peter can’t believe this nonsense. Peter, I’ll bet you anything the packers are one and done in the playoffs. Anything!
MLF is 3-5 in the post season and he will 100% be 3-6 after this year. If you’re judged by January, MLF has failed
Peter does not believe what he’s saying. Peter admitted after the parsons injury that “it’s over” and things have only gotten exponentially worse since then. Peter has to be lying. Maybe to himself hahaha. But he doesn’t believe this nonsense. Packers won’t win again until next season.
Peters worst most cope episode in the history of the show. And usually I love Peter. But he does not believe what he said tonight. The packers are RIGHT NOW a bottom 10 team in the nfl. Week 7 doesn’t matter anymore. This team has checked out, it’s over.
