We dish ragged Dallas.
We've been without our #1 corner all year.
#3 pass rusher, #2 LB, our RB room has had injuries.....it's a part of the game.
At least we're not Baltimore......right?
11-6 is going to win a division out here this year and teams at 9-7 going into the last game of the season are going to be in the hunt. Nobody is unbeatable this year.

Packers= Kings of the North!

:roflmao:


If the Playoffs started today we’d be a #3 seed

If nothing else I think it’s safe to say it’s highly unlikely Detroit or Minnesota log their same Win totals from 2024.

GB needs work. however that’s been pretty normal across Love’s first 2 seasons. They still look to be at or above 2024 thus far, which infers they are closing the gap. It’s now a matter of finding ways to improve each week. It’s not inconceivable at all to see our Offense start clicking over the next several weeks. Particularly if Watson returns with any semblance of his usual long game. He truly does offer a problem for Defenses because they have to pick between Golden or Watson and many opponents won’t have the speed so they’ll be forced to dedicate extra Manpower.

Detroit was able to beat the Ravens before Jackson went down. They still have to play Philly this season if the Eagles can right their ship.

We have to play the Eagles as well.

Green Bay needs to right its own ship and become more consistent. This team has the potential to be very good, but the last three games they have struggled with consistency. If the Pack starts playing to its potential, they won't need to worry about Detroit. Or anyone.

At least we get Philly at home.

Absolutely. First Detroit needs to overcome a wounded Tampa who Is formidable. Baker has done an exceptional job using his depth at Receiver and this is a crucial game for us. It’s an area of the season we can pull firmly ahead of Detroit. Then if we are able to somehow pull off an upset later at Detroit? All bets are off in the North. The landscape in the North can flip drastically once GB hits their usual mid season form. That’s one bigtime benefit of being young. Lots of room to grow intra season.

Baker did beat Detroit last season. Lions remember that. Right now my nod is that Mayfield is the best QB in the league. He is a fighter and a leader.

Detroit is still very good, but their D showed some susceptibility to a team who can turn on the points juice and play up a little on D.

Baker is another great example that many QB’s do not always peak in their earlier years. He’s really at the front grouping of MVP candidates. Here’s a QB peaking in Year 9. Written off completely by Carolina

Brian Branch post game for no reason
Brian Branch is a moron. Why do all of the dirty players like Branch and Ndamikan Suh always play for Detroit?

In last year's game at Lambeau (the rain game), Branch got ejected early and gave the double-bird on his exit. This year in Week 1, I don't remember exactly but he drew a personal foul penalty for an altercation with Tucker Kraft.

He's a very good player, but also appears to be a hothead that lacks the ability to control his temper.

I won’t argue

What I don’t like is all the teams that get excused for not having their top WR’s. Tampa Bay is a good example. However no one talks about Green Bay missing two of their top three wide receivers.
I don't think a 5-1 Tampa Bay needs an excuse

...and Cleveland and Los Angeles.

There are lots of late bloomers in sports. Despite playing a lot of sports since age 3, I didn't really find my athletic groove until after college. Then my athleticism jumped off the charts (my chart at least) until just before 40. Now my whole focus is getting the younger players to say, "Whoa, you're how old and still playing like this??" :D

I used to play a different sport with a guy that played minor league football here in Minneapolis. He was an amazing athlete who didn't start playing football until after college, but just started late and bloomed late. Some people just put it all together later. Unfortunately pro sports is all about needing it now.

GB is only missing two WR's. Tampa Bay was missing their two top WRs in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, another WR in Jalen McMillan, lost WR Emeka Egbuka during the game due to a hamstring, and was missing their top two RBs including Bucky Irving. So missing four WRs and two RBs

Those are just facts. Guys stepped up and Baker is the opposite of Cleveland, he's a factory of excitement.

Evidently he got pissed because the KC player he slapped blocked him in the back and it wasn't called and got frustrated. He did admit it was a stupid thing to do and he'll be suspended and fined for sure.

Well we sure don’t get help from Washington. Daniels has it setup at the Chi40 3rd n 1 with 3:07 in Qtr4
Score Wash 24- Chi 22

Jayden Fumbles! and Chicago recovers at the Chi44. Needing a FG to Win
Chicago 25 Wash 24.

Talk about Washington giving a game away. That was about as bad as our Browns giveaway.

The Commanders returned the gift they were given last season by the Bears. Thoughtful.
