Lack of execution can in "some way" be tied to coaching? One game, maybe. Repeatedly? That's on the coaching staff and this team fails to execute in multiple ways every game.

I would like to see more of Malik Willis in certain situations. The guy can ball and defenses game plan for Love and couple plays a game with Willis could give the offense a spark. Hoping the coaching draws up couple plays for him to give defenses something to think about. Watson is giving the O some much needed juice after Kraft went down.

That's kind of a shallow view, IMO.

Was it inadequate coaching that had Doubs with two drops? Was it inadequate coaching that prevented Musgrave from securing the ball?

We had zero turnovers and five penalties. We had well over 100 yards on the ground. We scored 27 on the road again....Dallas, Pittsburgh, Arizona, NY. That's 7 times in 10 games that we've hit 27 or more. And we held them to 20, which makes 7 times in 10 games we've held the opponent to 20 or less.

And all this is being accomplished with bad coaching? I don't think so.

Micah Parsons is the salvation of this defense. Without him we have very little pass rush or pressure. The Packers have been paying for average edge play going back to the Nick Perry days. Gary and Van Ness are just two more average guys in a long line of average. And I would be okay with that if we had two stud interior linemen who could collapse the pocket from the inside. Gutekunst isn't a trench builder on either side of the ball and Packer teams are handicapped as a result. I am not looking forward to teams running the ball and controlling the clock or average QBs having ample time to look good. We are still quite a ways from championship quality on either line.

If the playoffs started today, we'd be the 7th seed, and the Great Dan Campbell would miss the playoffs.

Less than 2 years ago, the Lions were ahead at halftime of the Championship game. Last year, they didn't win a single playoff game. This year, they could miss the playoffs. This is called being in decline.

A win's a win, as they always say.
But my takeaway is another focus on O-Line. 2 sacks are OK, but Love was again under too much pressure too often. And the rushing offense is still problematic. Stats look pretty good, but if you take away big gains by Willis and Melton, we're under 100 yards. Again. So, at best raise O-Line grade from D- to C-. And now Jacobs is out. If he doesn't return soon, we have to handoff to Wilson and Brooks, who have showed up, but who lack bulk and who will need a LOT better blocking.
See the problem?

Nothing to get excited about here, this was a injury depleted team with a quarterback that hadn't played in a year who looked like Tom Brady at times, yes a road win which is nice maybe less drops a higher score but it was still the banged up Giants.

The most difficult 5 game stretch of the season starts Sunday.

Ugly Purple in Lambeau, Lions in Detroit on Thanksgiving, mini bye followed by bares in Lambeau, at Broncos, at the bares. 33-18 combined. And 4 North games.

This stretch will tell the tale. Could be 11-3-1 and looking to be North champs...even a possible #1 seed. Or could be 6-8-1 and likely done.

This needs to be LaFleur's best 5 game coaching performance during his tenure. Buckle up!

So I wouldn't get too emotional about the kicking and LaFleur's play calling.

Re: the kicking. The wind was the kickers worst enemy. Yes the Packers didn't attempt a field goal but neither did the Giants. And there were no down-the-center converts by either team. Plus there may have been a shank or two from the Giants punter - that made Whelan's performance even more remarkable. In short - the game should not be a fireable offense for Havrisik.

Re: LaFleur play-calling. I would characterize the game for LaFleur as involuntary adjustments. Both the injuries to Jacobs and Love required LaFleur to dust-off different parts of the playbook. I thought that Willis was great - not the call to bring him in. And without Jacobs - whom LaFleur works like a rented mule - the Offense became more diverse and thereby less predictable. So still not considering a contract extension for MLF.

Is anyone at the top giving feedback to Gute and MLF? Policy has not renewed their contracts for now but is he giving real-time feedback?

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition...GB's special teams did not have an accepted penalty Sunday! To make up for it, the long snapper did have a bad snap to Wheelan that he handled well to get off a punt...and as holder Wheelan took extra care to ensure the laces were directly facing Havrisik on one of his missed PATs. After all, you can't rely solely on the wind to lead to a missed PAT. Yes, this attention to detail is what great teams have. I'm not gonna bust Wheelan's chops tho - he punted really well!

Matt LaFleur called a great game? He called the same game he’s called all year against the one team it fits. The execution sucked (not Love), but with the wind as well and a very poor run defense against us doing what has been so frustrating before was actually perfect. It won’t be next weekend or thereafter as we won’t play the Giants again, so we’d better pray he doesn’t see it like you do! The offense will need to have a great deal better focus as well.

Watched other games on Sunday, and those teams executed with energy and force: Seahawks, Rams, Bears, Vikes. GB didn't have that same will and force. Otherwise, glad the once more.

I think most of Green Bay’s inconsistency during games fall on their coaches. Not always MLF but his assistants. What we are seeing are players not making enough improvements in year to year performance compared to other team’s players of similar experience levels.
Players I see that beat the team average are Wilson, Kraft, Carrington and Copper.
Coaches make a difference in player improvements and I don’t see a lot of that happening. MLF is responsible for the game plan and we will see after the end of the season his final grade.

Mustgrave is the first one gone after the season.

Luke Mustgrave does not play special teams. It is too hard for a team to put together a game day roster with backup players not on special teams.

I was not a fan of drafting Jordan Love but when the guy puts on Superman's cape, that should be acknowledged. I have no problem with the idea of getting a package for Willis going forward, but I don't think Love should be taken off the field, except maybe for some trick plays and the like.

Parsons is also wearing Superman's cape. It reminds me of CM3 providing the entire pass rush for too many years. GB has to look at Gary (2026 contract is $19.5M cash, $28M cap, $10M cap saving with a straight release, $17.5M roughly with a June designation). His stats are okay but Parsons is wreaking havoc and creating opportunities for Edge #2. I think LVN would be a downgrade from Gary but a cheaper one, so the issue is whether the cap savings can be repurposed to get better overall.

Another episode of "The Silencer," that's just great. Probably should be on Netflix. The game wasn't televised here, but sounds like he did some good things in spite of the bad hands people, so good for him.

I'm not getting on board the Willis HOF Train just yet. Seems like a good guy and that's great that he stepped in and threw for a TD. It was against a two win Giants team with several injuries and a new coach. Last year, W's against a terrible, 3 win Titans team, and a sub .500 Colts team, L against a bottom of the North, five win Bears team. You want to give him some plays in certain situations, fine, but call it what it is. Otherwise, give him the keys and let Love rest his injured shoulder against the Vikes.

It's a good thing Jaxson Dart was out...be a different episode if he played.

I can see that Love is trying to copy what he saw Rodgers do: have an outlet guy - Dobbs to save you when pass rush is coming aka Rodgers to Adams. Drop back and throw the bomb aka Rodgers to Jordy.
The later works when you can out run the defender. This BS of just throwing it when your defender has two guys on his back is bs. Watsons TD catch could have easily been a game ending interception.
Love ain't a rocket scientist that's for sure. His dump passes to Dobbs often missed wide open guys not covered for big gains.
