The weird thing is that AQ Shipley has been high on DEN’s OL earlier in the season. I just hope that means that any line can have a day, and hopefully ours trends to good days as the season wears along. Usually, the OL plays their best toward the end of season. Just gotta hope for more continuity with less injuries.
The Broncos looked much better than Las Vegas, so it was probably unfair of me to lump them into the same pile. Progress begins with recognizing the need for improvement. The Packers are very self-aware in that regard. It’s just stacking small victories from now until the end of the season.
So many national pundits are bashing the Packers for their role (Mark Murphy) introducing banning of the tush push, which of course, didn’t pass. But it seems they were a year ahead of the curve with its likely banishment this next offseason. What do you guys think?
I’d prefer to keep my comments to a minimum, especially today…but I feel like Murphy and the Packers spoke the words most were thinking.
Two thoughts on our TE situation. If we need a blocking tight end, maybe Marcedes Lewis from Denver’s practice squad? Luke Musgrave has an opportunity to make himself a boatload of money going forward. May not be by the Packers but somewhere else. Here’s hoping he does it.
Nobody loves Lewis more than I do – well, maybe Matt LaFleur – but John FitzPatrick has done a nice job in that role over the past year. He also provides a little more in the passing game. Also, I can’t imagine Denver would just let ‘Cedes walk out the door. He only has one elevation left, so I expect Lewis will be signed to the Broncos’ 53 soon.

No question, simply a statement. It is a pleasure to watch Matthew Stafford throw a football.
It’s also one of the rare examples of a trade where there was no “loser.” Both teams benefitted greatly from that deal. Matthew Stafford didn’t just win a Super Bowl in the Rams. He’s building a true legacy in L.A.

GM, can you name the biggest win under Matt LaFleur? I’m getting concerned that he’s a very good regular-season coach but is unable to win big games. He seems to get outcoached by better teams/coaches when it really counts. I feel like he makes very few adjustments at halftime and instead sticks with his game plan – trying to make it work as opposed to changing the game plan. I may be missing something here, but I ask again, what is the biggest game ML has won?
I mean, the man’s won 75 NFL games. There’s been a few big ones in there, including the Packers becoming the first No. 7 seed to beat a 2 since the playoff expansion less than two years ago. That was during the same 2023 season in which Green Bay beat the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. In the postseason, the Packers routed the Los Angeles Rams in the 2020-21 NFC playoffs. He guided Green Bay to a 37-10 rout of the Minnesota Vikings to clinch homefield advantage in 2021. If your standard for a “big game” is strictly Super Bowls, then you have 35 people over the past 68 years who meet the qualifications. And who is GM?

Of course, we all love Packers here, but in the NFC North, besides the Lions, there is now the revitalized Vikings and streaking Chicago posting Ws. Any thoughts on who will finish last in the NFC North?
Whoever struggles to keep pace in the best division in football. From first to fourth, it’s gonna be a race to the finish line in the North.

When was the last time that the Packers and Eagles met on a Monday night in Lambeau Field?
The Packers have a storied past with the Eagles on Monday Night Football. The last MNF game at Lambeau against Philadelphia came during Ahman Green’s historic 224-yard performance in a 17-14 loss on Nov. 10, 2003. The last MNF encounter between the two teams was a 27-13 Packers victory on Nov. 28, 2016, which is where “Run the table” began.
Hello Insiders! I did it, it felt weird, but I rooted for the Giants this Sunday…and they let me down…now I feel like I should go jump in the shower and wash this filth off. At least the Ravens came through for us! No worries though, let’s take care of the Eagles and make our own destiny. GO PACK GO!
It’s a shame that Jaxson Dart got injured. I think the Giants eek that one out if he’s in the game. The Bears remind me a lot of last year’s Packers team. They’re beating the teams they need to beat (sometimes minus style points) and winning gritty. They could ride that wave right into the playoffs.
