At risk of sounding too negative, this team is just not on the level with those other teams. They're like the Bucks, they're way too inconsistent and keep making dumb mistakes.
One year away. Enjoy the rest of the ride this year, and gear up for a big 2025. I’m not down on the team at all. I just know teams and coaches need to learn how to win big games. They will learn, and the Packers will win. These are all steps that players need to take.

They were missing their best WR and their best corner. And Evan Williams and Quay Walker (arguably their best LB lately) were out.
I feel like in this game the biggest issues were WR drops and complete lack of pressure from the defensive line. The latter is hard to fix.
I'll be guarded with my optimism in the playoffs. It certainly feels like Packers have to be on a better day than those other top teams to win.
• several WR drops before 4th qtr
• overall slow start on offense
• poor pressure with 4 (or even 5)
In this case I think the uncharacteristic Jacobs fumble allowed for the slow start
I think the offense can improve yet this year.
