When the pic is the punter, it says all that needs saying. Whelan is the good. Barryn Sorrell earned some playing time.

Well, that was a thing that happened. Fingers crossed on Bullard and Melton.

I know everyone is on the bandwagon of protecting our players, etc; I’m not one of them.
Losing to that monkey-$hit organization is still infuriating.
As for our offense, has LaFluer ever heard of a screen or draw possibility against a defense that blitzes on every play?
I’m curious to see Cox and Oliver more. Sorrell plays with passion. Ford helps.
Go Packers!!! Bear down…

I'm okay with the forfeit, but LaFleur needs to have his team ready to play next week. Another lay down like they did against Baltimore and LaFleur is going to have lots of questions about his job.

That was something.

I was surprised at all the empty purple seats on the day of a sure win, and the chance for the loyal Skol-clappers to honor and bid farewell to deserving franchise icons Harrison Smith and CJ Ham. Vikings fans remain a sorry lot.

I wonder what Dan Campbell thought about the game?

Morgan did not look good at LT, I'm starting to understand why they gave him Tony Mandarich's number 77.

As far as Gary goes, it was pure genius by LaFleur not to play him in this game.

LaFleur reasoned.... he didn't want Gary to 'peak' too early before the playoffs.

MLF, You had one job today: don’t get anyone you need injured. Loss clearly in hand, Bullard gets injured with 8 minutes to go in the game. You failed.

This game was a total embarrassment.....If the 3rd string QB isn't allowed to pass (3 out of 5) in the first half the last drive with an opportunity to score a touchdown & the coach calls running plays to set up a field goal......is pathetic!

Morgan sucked at left tackle, as did the entire offensive line.....Butkus should be gone after the season.

Positives? NONE from this game!

Hafley playing soft zone for the game is a joke & blaming injuries is an excuse as the defense couldn't get off the field in critical situations for the whole season. Its funny how the Seattle Seahawks had a sucking defense last year & then they have a dominate defense this year.....is it Lafleur? is it Hafley? is it Gutekunst ? or all three. To go into this season with the deficiencies on the defensive line (it's been that way for over a decade) is criminal. To go into the season with the cornerbacks (Alexander was never coming back & should have been released sooner) and not addressing it sooner with a veteran help is pathetic! Oh and special teams? WOW at the bottom of the league again....the Seahawks went out and got Shaheed at the trade deadline.....what did Green Bay do? NOTHING!!!!

No matter what you want to blame this 4 game losing streak on....injuries, play calling, poor execution, bad play, player mistakes, poor coaching, the refs, it doesn't matter, in the big picture to Gute, and MLF.

The bottom line, is if the Packers finish 0-5 with a loss to the Bears or Eagles,
Gute and MLF must be thinking...oh shit.

Not saying they will be fired, but....stranger things have happened.

How far back do we have to go to find the Packers losing 5 games in a row?

It's hard to think clearly after four weeks of frustration.
Will the playoff game next weekend be the conclusion of a sad and frustrating slide to end the season, or a jolt of enthusiasm going forward?
At the least, I'm glad we have a shot at it in the postseason.

This was like watching the 1986 Packers. Good thing it doesn’t count.

Let’s wait a week before we bury anybody before then. We’ve all seen that this team has a considerable upside.

Mean nothing game completed. But negative passing yardage? I realize Tune is a 3rd stringer at best, but my god!

3rd straight season with 7th seed playoff positioning. I know all the well heeled fans will excuse the organization over the injuries this season but what about the 2 before? It's becoming more than obvious - even for comfy GB executives/fans- that the Love-Lafleur-Gutenkunst regime will never get us over this hump.

I'd love to see LaFleur and Love get some playoff success but is it likely? But should even a win in the playoffs secure the jobs of either LaFleur or Gutekunst next year?

I feel for LaFleur. He's trying to make do with the on-again, off-again decision-making of his GM. And it's the same every season. He has little or no urgency. And lets not even mention his high draft pick failures. Wonder why Rodgets left? A GM/President combo (with Mark Murphy) that made bad, bad football decisions with the poor HC holding the bag! Relieving a coach because of bad football executive decisions is not warranted.
Relieving a GM who is not a good football mind is!

Final question- how many offers would LaFleur get on the open market vs Gutekunst? 9 vs 0? Well, maybe the Jets would look at Gutekunst, lol! Sarcasm indeed.

Tune probably got very little reps.. Love needs all the work he can get. The plan was for Tune handing off and running not trying to make a passer out of him..

I know exactly why Rodgers left. It's because Gutekunst SENT HIM PACKING.
That's a bit of revisionist history to pretend Rodgers left of his own accord.

What did we learn from this game?
1. When LaF decides he's going to mail one in, he means it.
2. Brooks and Wilson played hard carrying the ball behind an OL that we could never would do much against Flores' front 7.
3. When Malik Willis leaves, the Packers need to be looking hard for a playable backup because Clayton Tune sure didn't look like one.
4. Defensive reserves played with heart. Good looks at Sorrell, Oliver, and Oladapo. Even with a hideous disparity in TOP and snaps playing against MN's 1s, the Vikings could still only manage 16 points against the defense.
5. Either McCarthy's hand really was bothering him, or Kwesi and O'Connell have to be feeling pretty nervous about their QB situation.

No matter who plays for this team, and no matter who this team plays against, it's as close as you can get without an actual 'copy and paste' look and feel.

We’ve come a long way from the hopium high of the first two weeks. At this point, give me the Bears and see what happens. Sometimes I wish I didn’t love this game.

"Policy has already come out and said he's thrilled the Packers went 9-7-1 this season. Just above average is perfectly acceptable."

Well...lol

That isn't the GB Packer organization i've known for a 30 year stretch.

If that's true, then i think Murphy picked the wrong guy.

It obvious that the line play on both sides of the ball needs to be improved. There's a lot of swing and miss in the draft for the Packers when it comes to linemen. Too many times they're overlooking guys who were available who then go to other teams and play well. I also wonder how much is coaching, both O and D lines. It would seem as though they get guys they're high on when they pick/sign them that just are mediocre. Why?

Lions offense chewing up bears so far!!

Looking more & more like eagles….ugh…

I think fans have to manage expectations, unfortunately. I still think the mantra is 'fill the seats, win just enough games'-

Packers IMO are not a good team. Tied with a Dallas team that sucked, almost lost to Jamais who also sucks, almost lost to Jo over the hill Falacco. Those three loses and that's who this team really is talent wise. Eked out wins against crappy teams.
I expect nothing in the playoffs.. I expect even less next season.
Unless Gary and LVN can save us .lol

I really liked our potential match up against the Bears - but not going to happen. We should have beaten them twice - except for the botched onside kick. Now in watching these backup QB's I think that Willis might be able to command big bucks and a starter agreement. If not I am concerned about Love - we better spend some money on the Oline. Good money not bad - Jenks has one more year - but maybe not at center. Resign Ryan - Get rid of the Offensive Line co-ordinator Butkus- not developing players and if Strenavich cannot do both jobs place him with a more offensively minded experienced person - these 3rd and 1 stonewalled. I also believe that since we are not paying for a first round draft pick we probably have the extra 8 million plus - 33 million if we cut or renegotiate Diggs

Daniel Whelan gets the only game ball this week. No point discussing this waste of time game or effort. Thanks, Since '61

A lot of negative comments here and it's easy to agree with them...
However, if the Packers kick the Bears butts next week, I will have a renewed outlook and will likely be back to unrealistic optimistic self.
