Would love to see upgrades at CB, but listening to Andy it sounds like 26 is a run it back yr with Nixon, Valentine, and Hobbs while they draft future players and maybe develop Hadden. That's why I'm focused on bolstering the lines so much. Get help for 1 & 95, and run up scores with a good O line.

Sorry. Meant line rebuild. Obviously we have a lot of talent around the team, but I think line play is overlooked and is really important. A lot of the future beyond '26 relies on the prospective '26 line starters other than Tom/Parsons taking big steps. If not, we'll see a lot of churn.

Gutey can do some things well, but his long term visions for Campbell a few years ago, and Nixon this year were S-tier mistakes. The Jenkins and Banks moves this year were also terrible. If I'm Policy, I suspect any GM can match Gutey's good moves, but can they improve on his terrible ones?

I feel encouraged. It shows the team believes in MLF and he's better than Johnson. We played most of the night with practically a practice squad, and almost took it. Nothing changes. We still have almost no Superbowl shot after last week, and have a bunch of spots that need to be upgraded next year.

Agreed. It's just depressing because 2025 was supposed to be "the year" and it got gutted by injury. Instead it feels like this team is teetering on the cusp of a rebuild because the trenches are nothing other than Tom & Parsons, especially if Belton, Morgan, & LVN don't get a lot better next year.

The Bears are worse than LAR, SF, and SEA, by a huge gap. They almost lost to a practice scrimmage squad tonight.

We aren't. Lamar and Henry are better than what we just saw the Bears spew all over our screens. CHI should have won by 20 tonight if they were actually elite. GB was down to 4 bonafide starters out of 22 by the end. Injuries have effectively gutted the season.

I know Chicago fans are going to be out of their minds with euphoria after this, but LaFleur out-coached Ben Johnson with a team that fielded 18 backups or backup caliber players out of 22. The only players on GB who should be embarrassed tonight are 25 and 87.

Props if Love does it but he's behind the 23rd rated offensive line (when Tom is healthy). We see it in the few yds before contact for Jacobs, and the many flags, and endless Love fadeaways under constant pressure. If they can only afford to fix one thing next year, it has to be that O line.

It ends their 2025 Superbowl run, and somewhat limits expectations for them next year to being a borderline wild card with Kraft, Parsons, and Wyatt likely not playing until mid-October. Their offensive line was already a big 2026 offseason question mark, and now throw CBs in with that. It's grim.

The 2025 and 2026 Packers disintegrated in front of our eyes today. As good as Love has been for 4-game bursts in his career, he needs to work on his mechanics this summer. Bad mechanics not enough vs top defenses. His GM also needs to rebuild trenches around 50 & 1 over the next couple years.

Definitely going to be a lot of evaluating happening. If the other teams all have major injuries, maybe they can still steal games, but I don't want to wish today's injuries on any team. Not a great cap or draft picks offseason for GB to need to suddenly patch up 9 or 10 underperforming/hurt spots.

There's always a chance all the other contenders will take equivalent injuries, but GB's priority for me right now is to get Love to next season healthy, following these injuries
That's it. Anything else is extra.

If any team as thin in the trenches lost what GB just lost, we'd all be rating them quite poorly in terms of what is left. It's not 2010. We still had Jennings drawing attention out there to open everything up, and Matthews terrorizing QBs. GB just lost those 2 things.

Basically ends their season for all intents and purposes. Without those guys, and Kraft already out, they'll flame out in their first playoff matchup.

Hard to do when CHI literally grabs your neck like a choke. Hope that bitch enjoys giving his game check to the league office donation drives this week.

When you have a chance to take the ball out of your best remaining offensive player's hands in the form of 10, apparently you just have to do it.

Nothing. The Packers defense has been getting gashed and has already dropped 4 interceptable balls thrown their way today.

If it's not something weird behind the scenes, the only on field observable issues with Love are some indecisiveness and a habit of lofting the deep ball too high, allowing DBs to make up all the ground (hence no YAC after long down field air yards passes, ever).

Agreed. All I mean is Doubs will be a tougher replacement via later rounds.

They were going to draft a WR regardless, just to keep the churn going. A shame it has to be a valuable 2nd or 3rd that they desperately need to use to start the O line rebuild project.

Average players beget average results. The juggling offensive line project and the draft WRs who run block project, not to mention the make your journeyman KR your CB1 project, are all in free fall.

This mess now has me wondering what power struggles, mismanagement, and lack of leadership are happening in that organization at large. What an absolute farce. Even if the player lied this whole time, that would still reflect poorly on the team. We are 1 loss away from a dreaded players-only mtg.
