Been almost thirty years since I've had to admit this painful truth: Detroit has a better football team than Green Bay does.
Their coach has been roasted for his clock management, but it appears to me that his players love playing the game .... many of our players look like they are being required to play the game.

I don’t agree with this at all.
Packers elevated RB Patrick Taylor and S Innis Gaines for tomorrow night's game in Philadelphia.

Hard to argue this. They have lost close games this year and really, with better clock management on that last drive, they should have beaten the Bills.
St Brown is the real deal and Jamal is having a career year. Then add Jameson Williams who is waiting in the wings and will be active in a week or 2. Goff isn't a franchise QB, but he's more than capable to manage games.
Their defense tries hard, hell, the whole team tries hard for Campbell. The assumption the Packers can just sweep 2 wins out of them each year is long gone. If the Packers play like they have been all year, they will lose on New Years day to the Lions.
Last season's final game said something .... in a game that shouldn't have mattered to either team , Campbell got it to matter to his team ....MLF did not.
Think top to bottom Packer roster is better than the Lions (huge advantage at QB), but players and coaching staff have significantly underperformed, IMO.
Wait. We had a decent special teams play once?! And man, Jordy was really, really good,
Throwback to the #Packers massacre of the 2014 Eagles...

Completely different coaching styles.
Campbell is a bit of a meathead, but guys play hard for him. He makes a lot of questionable decisions during the game. Not just ones you can debate, but just dumb decisions.
MLF is the nerdy little kid who understands football and doesn't make a lot of poor in-game decisions, but isn't a motivator and his teams are finesse-oriented and soft.

Or, the sum is less than the parts for the Packers?

Emphasis on "something". I don't think last year's finale really was a huge reflection on either coach.
Ah, do I post this here???
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams was fined $29,785 for unsportsmanlike conduct. The fine was for abusive language towards an official in last week's game, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reports.
Adams was upset about a no-call for a hit by Justin Simmons, who was fined $15,914 for unnecessary roughness on the play.
Davante was not a real Packer people eh?? 😂 🤣 😂

Agreed. The Packers have a much better roster but are grossly underperforming.

Dillon wishes he could be an in-shape Eddie Lacy. The guy was a beast before the buffet broke him
I still love me some Julius Peppers.
Rodgers injury worse than previously known.
So, if it’s this bad, the Packers have no faith in Love that he could play better than an injured AR who can’t grip the ball right and can’t make throws?
Or Rodgers grip on the Front Office is that strong that it won’t let them bench him ?
@Herschel posted:Because he was too slow to play man corner, or corner in general. He's a great zone safety which yeah, would be handy these days.
I think it was also that the Packers had drafted Randall and Rollins in the first two rounds in 2015 and Dix in the first in 2014 and figured they were covered in the secondary without paying free agent money to Hyde. I think TT was just starting to lose it about then in terms of player evaluation.

If the Packers front office and coaching staff thought Love was going to be the answer, they'd have traded Rodgers for the mega offer they almost certainly received from the Broncos in the offseason.
Once they traded Adams and decided to replace him with Sammy Watkins, they should have anyway. (Watson was drafted to replace MVS and has done so fairly well).
This is just more evidence that MLF's "offensive genius" is mostly based on having a healthy and engaged HOF QB running his schemes.

Peppers swatting away that guy like 8th grade recess to make sure he got to the EZ is hilarious. Lacy doing his best beast mode. That team was so f'ing good toward the end of the season. So depressing to think how their season ended. Those highlights are like looking at pictures of an old flame who ended up dieing in a fiery car crash with a dumpster.
If the Packers beat the Eagles tonight, they’ll jump both the Lions and Falcons in the standings and be the No. 9 seed in the NFC.

Don't know, but you can't tell me Love wouldn't have gone 1-5 like Rodgers has since his injury. Playing AR (whether its the team or Rodgers making the call) has done nothing but keep Rodgers thumb from healing (and 6 weeks would probably be enough time for it to heal).
