When the team fights and plays a clean game and comes up short. It happens and I can accept that. When the Packers trip over themselves and shoot themselves in the foot in a game I think they could have easily won by double digits? That shit burns deep.
Special Teams spot the enemy 7 right out of the gate. Yeah, Nixon recovered it and officials missed it, but KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE BALL and don't let the officials impact the damn game!
DefenseThey played a damn good game. I really think Cooper and Williams have a bright future. It's said and I agree that it takes three years for guys, but damn Lukas Van Ness seems like he's only a champion in the weight room. I haven't seen enough from 90 to feel encouraged about 2025. I'd like us to find an upgrade over Quay Walker at LB and add some depth at CB. I think Jaire Alexander might be done as an elite CB in this league.
Offense They basically jizzed all over themselves. Josh Jacobs is a real damn good asset to this offense! Jordan Love is starting to really concern me. That deep ball interception to Dontayvion Wicks was under thrown. He had a TD if he gets more on it. My hope is that there's injuries affecting him that we're not privy to.
I think we need to add a veteran WR and veteran OL. Jenkins is the only good OL we have. The next tier would be Tom. And then the rest are just pieces.
I fear Doubs career might be over. And Watson was healthy for most of the year, but that ACL is gonna have him out until probably October. So, adding a veteran WR will be good.
Special TeamsBrandon McManus has been pretty damn good all season. That missed 38 yarder really stung though. I hope he's back for 2025.
The Packers were the youngest NFL team in 2023 and 2024. If Xavier McKinney and Josh Jacobs showed us anything, it's that adding veteran leadership is a huge positive.
