I’d include the many games Campbell missed and the huge number of games played injured by Packers.

So much to agree with about the future of Love and the rest of the receivers. Keep good protection around him and give him time, and this group of receivers and TEs is going to difficult to slow down. Does anybody remember that 2011 offense? Or the 2020 offense? That's what I'm expecting.

Moving up from #3 to #2, next season we face SF, Miami and the Iggles. Losing winnable games will not be as forgiving.

We only have 7 WRs if you exclude Simore Toure.

Out of five incomplete pass attempts last night I remember three; two in the end zone, with great efforts by both WRs. Doubs basically caught it but the defender got a PBU, knocking it out of his hands. Melton struggled like hell to control it as it rolled down his body; I think that call could have gone either way. Great throws by JL both times. One other incomplete was thrown short, with the intended receiver trying to dig it out of the dirt but unable to. I forget who that was?

Anybody remember the other two? This number is STELLAR! And the O line and running game are a big part of it :)

Well, that's why the season is played out on the field instead of paper. The Packers should be among the 14 postseason teams because they earned it not only by winning the games they needed to at the end, but by beating two supposedly superior teams who are currently the number three seeds in each conference.

You could also probably write a somewhat similar story with the Houston Texans, who won their division with a rookie head coach, rookie QB, and a rookie OC.

To be honest, I can't believe how fast some of our young WRs and TEs (not to mention Love) have caught on, and most importantly, executed. And it's been collective--everyone has made big contributions. Last but not least, it was very satisfying to see our defense finally play to its potential in the season finale, with, once again, contributions from everyone. We were all begging to see some containment where it mattered, and they delivered.

I was disappointed that we didn’t get to see DuBose; he can be the best contested-catch WR on the team. He also was a very good blocker and special teams player in college.

Thats a classic right there Baloney. Thanks for making me smile.

"defense has returned to Joe Barry’s patented bend-but-don’t-break philosophy."

I watched both games (vikings and Bears) and didn't see that at all. This was a completely different Barry Defense. The one most fans and players have been begging for 2 years to see. I give Joe credit for finally getting it, but if it takes a DC 2 years to get it that means he's an imbecile.

So when Barry's contract runs out after this season, maybe the Packers should see if any NFL, NCAA or High School team goes after Barry before even thinking of resigning him. I bet there aren't any takers (well maybe a HS or 2).

Otherwise, What a glorious day! We still have meaningful football to play and Aaron Rodgers reminds us why getting rid of his tired toxic shitbag was the greatest move of 2023.

The draft can wait because who knows exactly how things might play out next Sunday?

Having said that.....I hope with all the skilled position talent the Packers have they focus big time on large immovable bodies on both sides of the trenches early in the draft. I want to compete with the Lions, Ravens, and 49's. The big uglies!

"Against All Odds"...I'm sorry, but this is what I expect when we draft a Quarterback in the first round. I am hardly ever disappointed, but darn you Rich Campbell.

As with all things, streaks and records must fall, and this Packer team seems ripe to end the Cowboys home win steak.

Your next to last paragraph speaks volumes

I think and believe that the best aspect of this Offense is that there is no #1 WR, and that serves to allow Love freedom to choose the 'open guy', which seems to be near always. Sure, I'd bet that he might have a lean to one, or at least is developing such a report, (don't say it loud, Wicks or Reed) with either being equal to the task. I also think that this lacking of a 'true' #1 is what will hamper the Cowboy Defense to an equal level of our Barry's fault, of many a previous game.

Don "Wink" Martindale resigned as NYG DC. Gotta be on the list of DC to interview after the season.

Honestly, a playoff spot wasn't that important to me as a fan. I just wanted this young team to show up in a big game. They did, but it wasn't perfect. And that's ok.

The more important reps this young team gets is gold for the future. All the people who railed on Love and Gutes should be eating major crow now. As for LaFleur, he's going to have to further understand the strengths of his players. But I've seen progress in this. Barry, well, he does tend to show up for the big games. But it's the lesser teams that he just doesn't seem to bring the same level of effort to. This to me is not a fixable issue long term. Just too many soft and bad game plans.

It's just exciting to watch this young team grow! Let's enjoy the ride and not let our expectations go wild in these playoffs. GPG

Maybe it's time to rethink the concept of a "number one wide receiver". Both Favre and Rodgers had their favorites, which meant the defense could concentrate more players on one WR, knowing the ball was probably come his way. With Favre, it was Chmura, when he needed a first down. For Rodgers, it was Nelson, then Adams when he emerged as elite. The most notorious of this tendency came in the championship game against the Buccaneers, when the Packers needed a TD, and Adams had three passes thrown to him, although he was obviously smothered by a defense that was all too aware of Rodgers' tendencies. So they settled for a FG. Game over. With Love, he'll throw it to whoever is open, spreading the ball around and preventing the defense from concentrating on one player.

Jordan Love is a Franchise QB. There is no doubt in my mind if he continues this level of play, the Packers can make a run. Also the forgotten man, Matt Lefleur. IMO, this season has been his best coaching job in Green Bay. The youngest, cheapest offense in the league with Injuries galore and a first year starting QB. This is a top 5 offense....This turnaround from 3-6 does not happen with mediocre coaching, certainly not bad coaching. That is great coaching. Remember, this team's two biggest cap hits on offense this year are Aaron Rodgers who is a member of the New York Jets and David Bahktiari who has played one game and has a bionic knee....wow

I loved the Watson pick 2 years ago, even though I would have taken him with the 2nd first round pick. He is electric when he can play, but is hurt alot. Maybe 15 pounds would do his body some good. I doubt he would lose much speed. I would also take away the jet sweeps from him. Too much start, stop, and direction change. That the play he got hurt on again and you can only injure a hamstring or anything and its gets weaker each time. We need him on the field and healthy. Maybe draft Xavier Legette-South Carolina or Johnny Wilson-FLA State.
Both are over 6'3 and 235 and run 4.3-4.4. Wilson in particular would be a weapon any where he lined up. 6'7 and 240 @ WR. Wow.

Do the Packers have a chance to continue this season journey? Sure. What are the odds. Not great. But life is full of not great odds for many, still many beat the bad odds and succeed.

I'm hopeful that Cowboys, under the influence of their owner will underestimate Packers and that their approach to the game would be: "It is easy task!" Contrary to that, I believe Mike McCarthy will try to warn the team how dangerous are Packers in this season.

And I hope MM will not be successful.

Go Pack Go!
