Matt LaFleur and Gutekunst would know the types of players they want that fit our system. Not just scheme-wise, but mentality as well. Focus on keeping what we have first, then think about the extra acquisitions.

I appreciate the weeks leading up to the season. Let's me know who the real fans of the Packers are. People get too hysterical during the offseason. You should be excited, but don't throw the front office and coaching staff under the bus when they don't trade for the high profile player you want...

Gutekunst has been talking up Lukas Van Ness, and I'd like believe he's about to have a breakout year. Unfortunately, he hasn't shown it during meaningful games. I hope this offseason the team can lock-in and really make a push for the 2025 season. It's all talk until then.

I tend to agree with Josh on this one, especially after the collapse of our pass game at the end of the season. Our current receiving core cannot get consistent separation in man coverage except for Christian Watson, and he's hurt half the time. Need a big threat on critical 3rd downs.

I'm confused, since when do we want the Chiefs to win over the Eagles? I thought it was an unspoken agreement that we all root against a dynasty. I know a lot of people were pulling for the Bills, but as a Packers fan I would much rather have the team that beat us win it all than the Chiefs.

Also Saquon is an absolute beast. You can sellout on the run stop every down, but it doesn't matter when you have #26 and that OL.

I didn't post about it earlier, but I hope that NFC championship game shut some of those media pundits up about the "Hurts can't throw" narrative. The Eagles can beat you any style they want.

Also, Jalen is protecting the football. The ball is the program, you pay double for turnovers in the playoffs. Look at all the teams who have lost besides the Texans. They all had multiple turnovers, which cost their team the game. If the Eagles protect the ball against WASH next week, they win easy

For some reason people are killing Jalen Hurts for not throwing well & praising Josh Allen after the divisional round. They have the same passing stats! Also if AJ caught 2 of his 6 dropped passes, Jalen's stats would look a lot different. I swear some of these media pundits don't watch football...

Even though the #Packers are elminated from the playoffs, my S/O is an Eagles fan. So I can enjoy the playoffs vicariously through her. It was actually fun to do that the last time they won and went to the SB. One thing about Philly fans is that they are passionate.

I saw @minakimes.bsky.social talking about this, I agree the one thing Jordan Love needs to work on is his scramble ability. He relys on his arm (which is great), but you can't force throws all the time. He'll never be a dual-threat QB, but at least keep the ball to get a few yards. #Packers

Oh my god, finally a new Mario Kart! Coming up on 11 years since 8 was released. More excited about that than Switch 2, the announcement video was a little underwhelming to be honest. Maybe the full presentation in April will get me into it.

just confirming that Nintendo Switch 2 Direct is April 2, not Feb 4th. Broadcast time to be announced later

Not sure why #Packers fans are still condemning Love. I know his performance was poor in that game against the Eagles. If you had watched any Eagles games before Sunday, you would known what would happen. Their defense tore apart QB's more experienced than Love all year. He will learn from it.

The NFC North is having a rough Wild Card Weekend... Sam Darnold looks absolutely shaken up in this game. As if he never recovered from the Lions game. Yikes. #MINvsLA #VikingsvsRams

So I see some of my fellow #Packers fans overreacting about yesterday's loss. Let's put it in perspective. Did we expect better results from Jordan Love? Yes. Was he missing his top 3 receivers and throwing to WR4's? Yes. Was his OL getting decimated against an elite Eagles pass rush? Yes.

If we were 100% healthy, then yeah we would have had a much better chance. That is not how football works. This is a contact sport, it happens. Brian Gutekunst and Matt LaFleur need to have a serious discussion about what we want to do roster-wise. #Packers #GoPackGo

I think this might have been one of the worst games of the season for the #Packers. On the bright-side, they're young. This is a learning experience for everyone. We can't beat the best teams in the NFL if we beat ourselves first. Clean it up in the off season, I know the boys are hungry. #GoPackGo

I don't want to come off being negative, but even with a TD we would need an onside kick recovered. Which has less than a 7% chance of success. I'm tempering my expectations. #Packers

The injuries mounting too, this definitely a game we were destined to lose... I just hope all our boys are ok. We will be back from this next year. #Packers

This is extremely disappointing, I just wanted a great game offensively. Now it seems we won't get that... #Packers

The loss of Watson was immediate, but now the loss of Doubs is immediately affecting our redzone efficiency. I hope Doubs is ok, but now our defense needs to show up once again. Let's stay focused. #GoPackGo

Ok, so keeping the game close actually helps us a lot in the 2nd half. Need to get some sort of rhythm going on offense. Love needs to shake off those INTs and stay focused. #Packers #GoPackGo

I'm seeing some terrible football by our offense and special teams... not sure if we can rally and get something going to win this game. The tone was set on that kickoff fumble, I fear we're pretty fucked. #Packers

After some underwhelming games, I hope the #GBvsPHI game lives up to the hype! Whatever the outcome, I'm just excited for the boys to show we belong in the playoffs. #GoPackGo #Packers

I'm juiced for today's game. The #Packers either squeak out a win today or get absolutely dusted by the Eagles. Let's see the boys play fast and loose! #GoPackGo

For the upcoming game, I'm going to have the same mentality I had last year against the Cowboys. I will be proud of the #Packers either way. I just want to see them go out there and play great football. We're the underdogs yet again, just play free. The boys are playing with house money. #GoPackGo

On the defensive side, I know Jeff Hafley is already preaching this, they need to keep Saquon contained. He's the real threat, even though Jalen takes those deep shots. If Saquon gets going, it puts so much pressure on Love & the offense to be perfect. The front 7 need to show up big time. #Packers

The #Packers will need great WR play from Wicks, Reed & Heath. We already know Doubs is great for those contested catches, but we need our speedy wideouts to really stretch the field. The Eagles have the best overall secondary in the NFL. They rely heavily on zone coverage, so Love needs to lock in.

Not a big VF guy, but this little demo looks very promising. Sega has been biding it's time for this one, and VF fans finally have something to look forward too. #Sega #VirtuaFighter

Thinking about the #GBvsPHI game on Sunday, we need to bring our A-Game. I'm a #Packers fan living near Philly and my partner is an Eagles fan, we will need to play our best football. It's going to be a really tough, gritty game & the crowd will be loud. No room for slow starts like the last 2 weeks

After a bit of reflection, that was such poor clock management by Matt LaFleur at the end of the game... you have to let the clock run out on one of those plays. Focus on next week, shake this loss off and get healthy. Onto the playoffs in Philly... #Packers #GoPack

Willis not seeing that is a lapse in protection. Is it still his fault for not feeling it coming? Yes. But he didn't expect to have to carry the game. We have to get out of this aa soon as possible. #Packers

Turnovers resulting in TDs, letting them score on punt returns, this all spells out a recipe for disaster. Do not need this going into the playoffs, they really need a solid drive going. #Packers

Jayden Reed continues to have terrible hands for some reason. Ball security is #1 priority as a ball carrier. The minute a defense senses you carry the ball loose, they'll go for it every time. #Packers

So on man coverage, the receivers can't get open. No separation, so Jordan Love can't safely throw the ball. These guys need come back for the ball to help Jordan when he's pressured... #GoPackGo

Today's game against the #Bears is more of a statement for the #Packers. They need to go into the playoffs with some momentum, whether its the Eagles or Rams. #GoPackGo

Also, some fans are "reminiscing" about the years of Aaron Rodgers. I don't think most fans remember when his 1st season wasn't so great (6-10). We didn't even make it past the Wild Card round his 2nd year. It wasn't until the 3rd year when we had our historic SB run (with a 10-6 record). #Packers

I love that some #Packers fans are already eliminating the Packers from the playoffs in their mind. The team has shown all year that they can keep it very close with the 3 best teams in the NFC. Last year, we beat the 2nd seed in the NFC as the 7th. The whole point is to have hope, let's do that.

Now with Jaire going out for the rest of the year for surgery, people are saying he will not be back next year. I seriously doubt that, unless they draft well this year, which they failed to do last year for the CB position. Need a veteran CB on the team like Jaire, even if they get young talent.

A lot of #Packers fans are complaining about Jaire Alexander not practicing again. I'm not sure why people are speculating that he's quit on the team. He has a PCL injury, so his timeline for playing will vary. If the medical staff or Jaire made the decision, then let's just leave it at that.
