When key players go down, the talent levels drops precipitously. Talent still matters the most. The Lions have less talent this year and it shows. Same for the Vikings, especially at QB.The fact of the matter is that the Packers play their worst in the biggest games. In 2024 those were mostly division games. This year, those games were against the Eagles, Ravens, Bears and Broncos. All teams in the playoffs or playing for a division title in week 18. Does MLF deserve a free pass this year due to the injury epidemic. No, I think he's partially to blame for the injuries. The Packers habitually have an injury list much longer than the opposition. Players leave the franchise to seek medical help and the team botched Bahktiari's rehabilitation. The entire injury mess can't be 100% bad luck when patterns persist, but yet it appears that nothing is ever done about it.</blockquote>
