If we Packer fans are honest with outselves, do we really, deep downbelieve this team is going to make a big push in the playoffs like last year? Last year is last year- it's ancient history! Yes, we have some injury issues with key personnel, but most teams have injury issues to navigate around and seem to keep the ship going.
The Packers are wiho they are at this point in the season. Love and the coaching staff are talking about a lot to clean up. I'm sorry, so we have one game left in the regular season and we still have a lot to clean up? This is a team that is not trending in the rigtht dirction- at this time. We are a young team continuing to make young team mistakes. I think last year really got us all thinking that team growth is linear but it's not. The NFL is called " a week-to-week league' for a reason. Sure we could catch fire and ball out in the playoffs, it't the NFL- crazy anything can happen. But I don't have that solid confience that this Packer team will do that. Last year, we got hot and surprised some teams, but now there is tape on Love and this team. We are consistantly inconsistant which sort of goes with a young team. Too many penalties, turnorvers, mistakes, drop balls, slow starts, we get behind and LaFluer seems to panic and start throwing the ball all over rather than sticking to what is working as Maggie suggested. I am also troubled by a lot of Aaron ball, more and more, always the long passes down field rather than just moving the chains, using clock, keeping the other teams offense on the sideline, but we don't seem to want to play that way. What happened to all the creativity on offense? We are pretty predictable in my view. I guess we will see what this team is made of now. I think the Bears are going to bring it so we better play up to our ability. Of course the defense has their own issues but I think they play gritty as they can and have kept us in games. This years draft is going to be big for Gute to nail. At least our kicking game is solid. GPG!

ML and Gute have changed our offense from a quick strike offense with A.Jones into a slog fest run game with less screens to dynamic RB and WR's that move the ball quickly. Too much run game solely and not enough screens and short passes to get 1st downs and move the chains. ML 2024 version is getting everyone involved OL / WR's / TE's blocking for the RB. Last season was Pass blocking OL / WR's / TE's and RB catching the ball. We need a quick revert to last season to push into playoffs or a quick exit. JL needs to improve his pass game that has regressed by all.
