Based on early scores, looks like this is the week where bad teams are going to turn it off for the rest of the season.
I was just going to post about this. I have the Browns-Bears game on while I get stuff done. I wish that the Packers had played the Ravens in Week 3 and The Browns in 2 weeks, they've packed it in for the season. So far, I would still call the Panthers game as the most disappointing game of the season fir the Packers, but the Brown's game is a close second.

Those 2 games do standout but as the season has marched on carolina has turned out to be better than expected. For me i have to throw the dallas game in there. That should have been an easy win for us.

I wish the Packers had their 2023 schedule and their healthier status of that season. But not the kicker.

Whats the feeling on the rams/ lions game..
Do we want the lions to win giving us a shot at the 1 seed, or do we just want to see the lions knocked out for good

We've handled the Lions twice, already... not afraid. Can never have enough Rams losses. Doubt the Lions can slow them down, however, so most likely a Rams win... don't let it get ya down. ;)

Good question. The Rams are very good and I don't want to see the lions again.

Knock out the Lions because the Rams will win that division I believe. If not, Seattle and Frisco are right there.

I'm gonna say it, don't care how many people have already said, it or how many disagree with me. We need to FIRE Luke Butkus and whoever is in charge making sure our players know how to catch a football. Screw the injuries on the O-Line this is a scheme problem, a technique problem and a strength and toughness issue. These are all fixable things, if we had a coach who knew what the hell his job was. The drops are laughable at this point, and it makes me want to walk into LaFleur's office and MF him into making the changes. At least in the late 80's when we were this bad on the O-Line and at catching balls we knew we didn't have anybody. Right now we've got FA guys and all-pros who can't do their job.

Did we have a lot of drops other than those 3 yard garbage plays? I saw some bad throws. I sure agree with you about the oline. That is not a well coached bunnh. and am not so sure the route running/calling is up to it.

Just my opinion, but I'm thinking that the Packers are ultra conservative with injuries and play everything how the NFL wants for reports so, it results in an inflated 'injury' report. Don't NFL players say that everyone is playing through injuries at the end of the year. I find it had to believe that any NFL team only has 5 players it is concerned about out of 53 so we see that as fans, panic and think the sky is falling because we are so injured. I just think other teams don't report it like the Packers. Then again, I could be way off.
Well one thing is for certain, the Packers have lost Parsons, Kraft, Wyatt, Jenkins for the season. They have also played a long stretch without Jayden Reed. I hope Watson returns, but that seems unlikely.

This happened to the Lions last year, especially their D.

The Packers still have talent to spare. Watson changed the opposing defense with his speed, but Golden is every bit as fast and better at catching. It's time to let him loose.

I'm not giving up on this season. The Packers will take a big step by sweeping the Bears Saturday night.

Well, the 49'rs have done well with all their injuries so it is possible. Depends on the coach on how to overachieve the difficulty.

The whole 53 couldn't catch crabs in a cat house

Well, Melton should get some reps again.

Some "fans" should just stop watching football. If "their" team doesn't win 70-0, every week, they'll find something to complain about or just make **** up to complain about. Life must be really miserable for them. Probably even more miserable for those around them.

I think there is more of a problem in the routes they are told to run
Before this last game, the Packers were tied for the 3rd least drops in the NFL with 11. The Jaguars had 38 to lead the league.

I sure wish the Broncos would have continued their trend, and dropped a few more passes this week. I can't remember them dropping any.

Latest word is, there is no structural issue with the shoulder - it's just range of motion and pain tolerance. If he can take the pain, he should be good to go this weekend.
Should probably heal for the indoor game in Minnesota where he won't land on a frozen surface.
