This last 4 games , especially the next two, are some serious obstacles. We win them both and we probably walk away with the #1 NFC spot and first round bye. 11-2 Broncos next week, seem to be the team to beat. Could be a preview of the Superbowl.... It's going to be two up and coming brawlers fighting for a shot at the belt.
Say we win? Pretty much forget about hiding from greatness. The talking heads will be crowning GB until they lose.

Say they lose? Another humbling setback. Bears will probably beat Balt or who ever they play, and the following week the rematch will decide who moves forward to claim the #1 in the north But probably lose #1 in NFC and first round bye.

We lose them both, and we will not only be humbled. Lol we will be in position to miss the playoffs all together.

These next two games are huge....

Then we got Balt, fighting to save face. 6-7 with no hope for playoffs barring a miracle. But they will be fighting hard. Not an easy game. Mentally we could be on a high, and they could come and surprise us. I expect a hard fought game regardless of records.

And of course you have the spoiler Vikings. Nothing to gain. Apparently McCarthy went from **** stain to pro bowler over last last week, lol. Their defense looked good. We will probably still be fighting for , or to keep #1 seed.

But if we think ANY of these games are going to be easy. I'd disagree. We still could be #1 seed or miss the playoffs all together. Legitimately. With 4 games left.

3 on the road and 1 at home. Bears have the opposite. So they probably have the edge on paper. These last 4 are very difficult. Like MLF iterated, " One day at a time. " Hope we stay healthy.

I ran into an old co-worker today. She was all excited that the Eagles lost, because she said the Packers need the #1 seed because "we can't beat Philadelphia."

I told her that I feel better knowing that she isn't giving the pre-game speeches before each game...

The Packers will likely lose another game, but every other top team has just as many vulnerabilities this season.

Broncos have won 10 straight. This is the Pinnacle of the regular season.

Honestly.... I think we are going to beat them badly. Good weather for our WRs to have a break out performance. Imo

Looking at the Bronco season I see the team that lit them up on offense was the Colts by putting up well over 400 yards and winning in Indy. In this one they only sacked Daniel Jones once. Yet, the Colts needed a penalty on a 60 yard FG attempt to save them 29-28.
9 of their sacks came against Fields and the Jets in a 13-11 ugly win. This is a team that finds ways to win, especially at home. This has given them a lot of confidence in 2025. As good as the Broncos 6-0 home record is, the Packers actually have a slightly better road record.
In 2015 the Packers went into Denver 6-0 and got walloped 29-10. MM had the Packers practice at a HS field the day before in Denver to acclimate to the altitude. But our OL was no match for the Bronco DL. And of course, we were facing Peyton Manning. Our player of the game was the punter.
In 2007 we all remember Favre to Jennings in OT. That was a Packer team that over achieved with little expectation. Favre led them with a " Who cares " attitude.
What I like about this game is that it is not on SNF or MNF. It may draw some attention away because the Lion Ram contest seems to be getting more of the headlines.

Dang, 400 yds and 1 sack only and still barely won?

I think our deep game is evolving as our receivers get healthy for the first time all season. Considering Watson started on IR. Reed out week 2 with the collar bone. Then kraft steps up and has a break out season, only to get hurt too. Come back strong and then pop his ACL...wicks got hurt in between there. Too. We were down to doubs and the two rookies, and as wicks came back, the rookies got hurt. Then Musgrave seems to be taking the next step like kraft did, as seen on that amazing diving almost catch last week.... Everyone's coming back at the same time.... The league doesn't know what this team looks like full force.

I seen a article "Jacob's the only one not practicing 12/10".

So recap, Watson breaking out. Reed back looking fast and up contributing right away last week. Wicks had his big game two weeks ago, Daubs has been our go to all season. Golden is back last week, Savion back in practice this week. And last week Milton come out of nowhere to start stealing reps and scored a TD. And Musgrave getting better every week.... That's 8 targets. And not just 8 targets. 8 very good targets....

I think we're going to air it out.... Spread the field.... Let our #3 and #4 targets slice and dice their nickel and dime backs. Few draw plays or a screen or two, in the second half should produce with a spread field.

Not sure if opening up the offense will catch them off guard or not? But I have a feeling they're not aware of the potential GB has to collectively take a step up as a group, by simply being healthy for the first time.

I would continue to limit Jacobs practice. He takes more of a pounding than anyone on the roster and he knows what he has to do. Let that knee feel like a knee again.

One thing I like about the Packers WR room is most of them can line up tight to the line and block on a running play as well as our TEs. So there really is no difference between our 4 wide or 2 TE alignment in the huddle on how the play is called.

Golden 5'11" 191 4.29/40
Savion 6'3 222 4.48
Watson 6'4 208 4.36
Reed 5'11" 189 4.37
Bo Melton 5'11" 187 4.34
Daubs 6'2" 204 4.4
Wicks 6'1" 206 and had a bizarre 4.67 40 at combine . But 39" vert, 10'10" broad. And game speed shows he should've run a 4.47. weird. Jordy was like that too.
