MLF just is overmatched in big games. Another season ending loss at home. Three in a row.

Terrible play calling, terrible execution, terrible defense, terrible offense, dropped balls, turnovers, hard to win with all that.

At least we won't lose to the 49ers in the postseason again for what would have been the third time in four years

Did the Packers run any hurry up offense? If not, why not? Nothing else was working. Once agin MLF is out coached in a huge game.

Where to start.
The Lions are not the same Lions as over the last 30 years, or since the first game played against them this season.
The 4 game win-streak has been shown by the play tonight was a prevarication.
The 'Other Ways' to win apparently weren't.
Quay Walker has earned some stupid penalties, but this one takes the cake. How dumb-stupid is he that he pushes a medical asst in the back.
Rodgers has become Cutler, you just know he's going to toss one to you.
Rodgers loses accuracy at the drop of a hat, especially late in the game.
Perhaps Watson needs to add a few pounds, since Rodgers can't see him wide open too often.
MLF is not an above average HC.
Collinsworth said Barry doesn't get enough credit, made me fall off the couch.
I think Rodgers and Cobb were saying farewell as Packers in the tunnel.
The Lions wanted to keep the Packers out more than the Packers wanted in.
The Lions did the Packers a big save, by keeping SF from embarrassing the Packers AGAIN, next week.
Losing sucked, but I openly shared my doubts and concerns about this team all season, and regretfully, they were a member of the fraud group all along.
That's it. Dislike all you want. Truth always hurts.

Outprepared, outcoached, out played and out of the playoffs. Team did a total turnaround since the Vikings game. MLF and his staff need to go. Time to move on from Rodgers as well.

MLF planned and coached not to lose the game and his team was beat by a team that planned and played to win. This week the team had as bad of a performance as they had a great performance against the Vikings. I had hoped the team was hot but they went out as cold as the temperature. Yet another huge disappointment to the end of a season. Thanks, Since '61

Way to come up small Packers!

Shitty season followed by another offseason of will he/wont he that will likely end with Rodgers getting a raise to $60 mil per season. Sigh.

MY OWN GUT REACTIONS WRITTEN RIGHT AFTER THE GAME BEFORE READING THIS:

• The Lions were hungrier and better coached.
• The Lions were better in the trenches.
• Our defense was good, at times very good, until it wasn’t.
• Yes, Rodgers’s last throw of the year (I still hope it wasn't his last as a Packer...but could have been) was a pick….underthrown?...but our offense just doesn’t have enough talent. Jones (who I love) has a knack for fumbles in key spots, and key drops by Dillon, Lazard and Doubs.
• Quay Walker, though improving as a player, needs to be suspended and fined heavily. And what is Rasul thinking in the first half? Knuckleheads. Both, especially Quay. Suspend him for 3 or 4 games next year. What he did just can't happen. Ever.
• In the end, for a variety of reasons, we were – on merit – an 8-9 team.
• And yes, this hurts! SF may well have blown us out, but we’d be playing with house money.

What we saw tonight was what we saw all season with the exception of last week. But hey a pick six and a kick off td puts 14 on the board that our offense didnt do.
To me this defense was never playoff quality from game one and our offense sputtered all season. If the run game worked the passing game didnt and vice versa.
I still say there was a constant battle between the play leFleur called and the one Rodgers decided to run. Rodgers is afraid of the pass rush and wants to dump the ball off or go to a run to save his ass. Its all about him.

QB play is not good enough. Choke at home in GB. Rodgers throws are off, he can't throw the deep ball arcuately anymore. The passes he does complete are off the mark.
Hopefully there will be a QB competition in camp next year and Love will get a fair chance to compete.
Rodger's is washed.

-Lafleur ain't going anywhere, but man I wish he'd give up play-calling. He's just not that good at it.
-Do the Packers know there's such a thing as blitz beaters?
-This isn't all on Rodgers, but it's time to move on. That should be clear to everyone.

Can't expect a beta male in MLF to lead a storied blue-collar franchise. Unfortunately for Murphy, if he tries to implement CYA (cover your ass) he only brings to light his own poor decision making given he spearheaded the hire as well as the unspoken truth of Rodgers retention.

100% agree with every single take here Aaron!!

There was Hope. What a season turn around. I do want Barry Gone.
The packers come back, then give up another Home run ball. Why?
If things don't go the packers way. Why play Dumb?
I remember fumbles in big games. And TT dumped them for it.
Think Gutey! -----If Watson can be such a big game changer.
Shouldn't you draft another?

I was fairly confident a month ago that the Packers weren't a playoff team, so I mailed in my invitation to an wedding reception on an upcoming Saturday night. I was right, but at least the Packers made it interesting....

LOL, which team has the better coaching staff in terms of strategy, motivation, and guts??!!

This was really a very entertaining game with a lot of great individual plays on both sides.

Has anyone figured out what Rasul was doing yet?

Quay Walker must be a boiling cauldron out there on the field; unfortunately it sometimes spills over to the people not wearing uniforms.

I don't think this team can afford to lose Lazard.

Very nice game from Savage, I'm finally happy to say.

The Lions OL lived up to its billing; only that early sack by Wyatt was allowed.

The Packers deep red zone/goal line offense is pathetic--and costly. They either need better play design, creativity, a power running game, or any combination thereof. This has reached the point of embarrassment.

Thankfully this will be the abrupt end to any comparisons between this team and the 2010 version.

So now the big question is will the Packers FO make any significant changes or will it weasel out and offer more excuses and false hope? I think it's a coin flip.

Sports Illustrated@SInow

Jameson Williams asked Aaron Rodgers for his jersey after the game.

His response: "I'm going to hold onto this one."

. The good: Watson will be a stud for years to come

. The bad: Rodgers not Carrying his team in the big game. Quay

. The ugly: The offense. Only scored 16 points, at home, against the worst defense in the league. Our Red zone offense all year was horrible (worst in the NFL) .

PS: We get the 15th pick

As weird as it sounds, I think Joe Barry did a nice coaching job tonight. MLF not so much....

What is not being mentioned is before the ejection Quay was making some amazing run-stopping tackles. Had a nice blitz too. Of course, he can't then be stupid.

After some processing amid a feeling of emptiness and sadness, it finally dawned on me that Rodgers is no longer "a bad man" when it is crunch time. Two years ago, the Packers had home field advantage, then lost to Tampa due to Rodgers, as noted, forcing the ball to Adams. Last year, HFA again. And the ST's stunk up the joint, but the offense went on strike after the first few minutes of the game. This year, why was I expecting different results? First down on the Lions five, and they settle for a FG? Then, they settle for another FG later on. As per usual. This one hurt. Bad. I'm less angry, but rather, resigned to this "Groundhog Day" experience every year. The pattern has been set, and all we get to do is watch it unfold, against different teams, again and again. But this is getting old, real fast. I know what Rodgers was; it is also becoming more apparent who he is now. Time for a reset/revamp/reconfiguration.

So much for “team of destiny”

While it was a stupid move, watching Quay in the tunnel was watching a man in agony. He’s a 22-yo rookie in the biggest game of his life and makes a dumb move. I feel for him, and hope it’s a massive learning experience for this young Packer.

Shall we take a moment silence for the premature passing of this season - although it wasn't entirely a surprise for many - based on some of management's off-season decisions - notably bringing back an aged and declining Rodgers. Is any more proof needed to jettison Murphy - otherwise we are looking at a Ryan Pace (Chicago Bears) years of ineptitude.

The thing is the Lions have a potential generational WR talent in Jameson William's who barely played tonight. Additionally, they have the 6th pick in round 1, with another in the middle of round 1. They also have two second round picks. This is going to be the team to beat in the Division next year.

Let me start by saying AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Ok, now to the game. The red zone offense absolutely sucks. I mean sucks. This has been a trend all year, win or lose. Defense, played decently enough, but part of the coaching is to stress discipline. The penalty by Walker, who is going to either wise up and be a great player or become the second coming of Suh, and the Douglas penalty were costly and absolutely absurd. The pass rush had the night off tonight. Special teams weren't so special tonight. Nixon was a non factor. Crosby hit three of four, and considering he was kicking abrick, not terrible , This might be the last hurrah though for the packs all time leading scorer though. Then theres the offense.....which red zone aside, the critical fumbles, drops, Rodgers inaccuracy, and the Yosh experimengt must come to an end. Guy can only hold up against has beens or never was pass rushers. Quality guys run his ass over or he gets caught with a fist full of jersey. Barry hasn't earned another year, and the powers that be might want to take a close look at Sean Peyton . MLF might have won forty plus games in four years, but how many home playoff games have we won? I think theres quality on defense, and lots of young talent on offense, bring in a proven coach to work with them GO PACK GO!!

It was never going to be a great season. We knew that heading in. Some had convinced themselves that the defense would be a shutdown D. How could that happen with a new DC, new scheme, and departing stars? Some thought AR would get another MVP run.

I’d say that in the end we got nearly what we expected. All but the wildcard blowout loss.

It was yet another hugely disappointing season ending loss at Lambeau but as upsetting as that is, I also give a face palm to the predictable overreactions by fans.

The drumbeats were loud midseason to fire and bench everyone. Then, as the Packers started a nice roll and all the other games seemed to fall into place, the mood shifted. Maybe heads didn't need to roll. Every staff member on CHTV predicted a Packer win tonight! Now that the Packers lost, the torch and pitchfork crowd is at it again.

Heros to bums to heros to bums to heros to bums. Yadda yadda yadda.

I've been following the Packers since 1961. In the Lombardi era I believed with good justification that the Packers had an aura of invincibility to them. The dark ages between 1968-1992 were pretty tough but the Holmgren era was pretty darn good. We had that undefeated home streak going until the debacle when our JV team lost to Atlanta. Then things slowly unraveled. The McCarthy era was good too and after the incredible 2010 Super Bowl win with a talented young team, who didn't think the Packers had at least a couple more Lombardi trophies in them? But the playoff failures kept piling up, often in excruciatingly painful ways (Seattle, anyone)? LaFleur set a regular season record for the first three seasons as a head coach. No small feat. But more playoff losses.

My take? We Packer fans have been spoiled for decades. From Favre to Rodgers, we've watched HOF quarterback play for three decades. Seven NFL MVPs between them! Sure, we'd like to have more than two Super Bowl wins, but I wouldn't trade the last thirty years with any other fan base except New England.

There are 32 teams in the league and the players on every team get paid.

Blow it all up? Be careful what you wish for. Thankfully, fans do not run NFL franchises.

GO PACK GO!

I’m too disappointed to make a worthwhile comment.
Later y’all.
Go Packers

The year Sean Payton went from offensive coordinator to head coach, he badly wanted to get the job in Green Bay which went to Mike McCarthy. I listened to the football pre-game and Payton indicated that he wants to coach again next year. I'll just stop here and put this out simply as information.

I am going to be the biggest cheerleader for Aaron Rodgers all offseason. As long as all the parades lead out of town! That's a baker's dozen in the Super Bowl drought! (Imagine Charlie Berens' voice there...).

Congratulations, Detroit Loins. You had nothing to play for except Pride and the desire to win for your Head Coach. The Green Bay Packers, our team, did neither. On to the draft, hopefully front office/coaching changes, and player changes. Let a new era begin. GPG!

*Good teams don't beat themselves. With senseless penalties, turnovers and drops, the Pack opened the door wide open for the Lions to win.
*Who is the play caller for the offense? Too many of the plays seem uncreative and repetitive which lead to failure. If something is unsuccessful, should we keep on trying the same thing? If we can't score TDs in the red zone, should we just do what hasn't worked again?
* Aaron Rodgers has been a great QB. He was not great tonight. He often can't accurately throw short. Is this due to injury; and if so, why is he playing?
*Our OL didn't seem to hold up. Was Nijman injured again?
*Just when we needed the defense to hold, they give up the long pass; and then all of a sudden they can't stop the run. Where was the pass rush from our outside LBs? In close games, I am so tired of seeing corners staying back 7-10 yards and passes getting easy completions.
*We lost a very winnable game and certainly did not play up to our talent level. Very frustrating for this Packer lifer.

That the only thing, besides blaming everyone besides himself, the weak antivaxxing chemtrailer is good at..........loooosing when it counts. Since over 10 years now for 50 Million.
What a srange joke this diva is........

If there's any good that comes out of this, at least it might force some change - hopefully with Rodgers moving on, despite his monstrous contract.

We also would've gotten destroyed vs. the Niners. We all know it.

Nagler summed it up well. We reverted to form. We are what we are. Just wish we got to see more of Jordan Love here down the stretch. What a disappointing night. I did not get much sleep and now it's off to work.

I said this on "Polluted Mindsets" this week on Jersey Al's weekly Wednesday's piece... Al had bought into the Packers 4 game winning streak while I hadn't...Not yet anyways. (No offense Al)

"I still haven't bought into this team 100%. I have this overwhelming fear Joe Barry will revert back to his soft-zone coverage and will stop doing what has been successful the last 6 quarters especially for the Packers. Dean Lowry's move to IR will squash Barry's need to continue to play Lowry which I know sounds kinda messed up. But at times an injury is what finally gets a player like Slayton and/or Wyatt on the field more while IMPROVING the defense at the same time.
I'm also concerned about that thing called "Hero Ball". We've all seen it too many times to feel 100% certain Rodgers won't revert to it again. But Aaron Jones looked healthier last week, and AJ Dillon is running harder than he has all year AND scoring TDs. STICK WITH THE RUNNING GAME...PLEASE!"

I also made comments similar to this in other pieces leading up to the game and right after the beatdown of the Vikings. I'm not bring this up to toot my own horn, but because it's happened far too often these last few years under MLF.

Well, BOTH things happened. I put this ALL on MLF. He's got a QB who does whatever the fuck he wants when he wants to and a DC who is a complete and utter moron.

Now my concern isn't "Rodgers Watch". It's after 3 years of this same ole shit, will ANYTHING CHANGE at 1265 Lombardi. It starts with Murphy, he's got to go. Why? Because HE IS AN IDIOT!

Sad, sad, Monday.

Plenty of off-season left.

The Packers are who they are. Plenty of talent, no leaders or leadership, poorly coached.

Quay Walker = Idiot!

Let it all out guys. MLF shows time and time again that he doesn't get his team ready enough. Lot of blame to go around for yesterday but it AR is no longer elite. I was hoping that something would spark him back to life these last few weeks but it wasn't to be. Management wasted so many years in so many ways of one of the best to play the game. What a shame.

And the worst of it is that I have no confidence that anything will change other than some players.

There is no "I" in "team". With the last 2 quarterbacks, the Packers have tried to put the "I" in "team" making Farve and Rodgers the ultimate lone player paying them the big bucks. This left little funds to pay / get better surrounding players. The quarterbacks have no one to throw to; the front line isn't that strong; the defense isn't strong; etc. Remember when we had Farve (who had not yet risen to idolship) and Reggie White and great supporting players? But once one player becomes elevated above the rest as Farve and Rodgers have, the team becomes substandard. Until the front office learns this, the Pack will continue this cycle. [I am not saying that Farve and Rodgers are not great players, they are. However, how did they become great? By having a great surrounding team. Take the great surrounding team away, well, we have the current Packers.] One last thing.. for me, to retire Farve's number on the stadium wall and not Leroy Butler's number, I am still hanging my head in shame...just my opinion.

The numbness and emptiness that accompany seasons' end has arrived. I like Rebecca's take; lotta off-season left.

Hats off to the Lions, they did what they needed to do to win. How about Jamal passing Barry Sanders for TDs in a season? Wow!

Farve to Driver PTSD on Rodgers' final INT. Once again, 12 didn't get it done when he had the chance.

For me, this 2022-23 version of the Packers has been a difficult collection of players to like; even more so for the coaching staff. Can't trip on your own dick that much and expect to win.

Let's chat again about Quay's Wonderlic score, shall we?

Disappointment. Uncertainty that any of the current cast of characters can act to right the ship.

Time to cheer for Buffalo. That area and those fans could use some happiness.

Ahhh....a good nights sleep and I watched the sun come up this morning.

Big decisions coming! I will be honest because of the horrific decision last offseason by Mark Murphy, Ball, & Gutey it was a monster struggle for me all year to watch the Packers. I never once believed they would make the playoffs and knew prior to the Lions game they did not have what it took to get in. For me, the screw up was so obvious last offseason and now that poor decision will haunt the Packers going forward for years to come. The interesting thing is even if Rodgers is gone next year and say the Packers get one or two draft picks in a trade it will never remove the stench for me.

Yes, I believe the Packers need a legitimate TE to go along with Tonyan (who I hope is resigned) in order for the Packers to be effective in the red zone. Many now want Notre Dame's TE, Michael Mayer in round 1. Think about it.....the Broncos drafted TE, Noah Fant in the 1st round in 2020 who is 6'5" and runs the 40 in 4.5. The Packers could have had Fant along with two first-round picks, two second-round picks, a fifth-round pick, QB Drew Lock, and defensive lineman Shelby Harris. Plus, the Packers this coming draft would still have that #1 first round pick in 2023 to use to strengthen another position like the DL, OL, or Safety. The failure of Murphy and company decision last season will hang around Lambeau for many years to come. Any objective Packer fan who has watched Rodgers play all year has to agree with me that the last offseason decision was a horrible one and it will sorely affect the team for many years to come.

The other downside to not making the trade last offseason is we now will have to look forward to seeing Jordan Love get much needed game experience in 2023 that he should have received in 2022. Talk about taking multiple steps backwards for the organization with that one major offseason decision.

Let’s be honest about playing over their heads.. Bears, Rams, Dolphins and a crippled Vikings team.
Still not bad for a team owned by Jared Goff.
