they do have a good team. their defense is kind of surprisingly good in the games I've seen. strong running, good receivers. what's the one factor that had them finish with the same division record as the Bears? lol Love isn't bad, but I maintain he's just a cog in the machine. the rest of the offense elevates him, not the other way around.
They have a lot of high draft picks vested in that front seven on defense.

They have a good team on paper but they always have that one thing go wrong in a critical situation every year it seems. Honestly that last game against the Bears broke them. They didn’t want to play the Eagles so they played to win but then injuries piled up. LaFleur tucked his tail and that sent the team psyche into a tailspin. They would have been better off preparing for Philly with a healthy Love and Watson instead of limping into a game that was winnable up until the the very end.

Great is an overstatement, they are solid for sure.

The bears had a higher pass rush win rate and 5 less sacks and most bears fans think their DL is horseshit.

Packers fans just got fed fools gold, that team is the youngest in the NFL and not ready to win yet.

Not sure they will ever be with jordan love as a QB, but the team is still a year or two away as being truly competitive. They overachieved and the fans are now blaming the coach. Lafleur is a large reason that team overachieved.
Not horseshit. The Dline is thin. Need another run stopper behind billings & edge.

A lot of bears fans think it’s terrible but it actually was decent this year. Average in sacks and top 10 in pressure rate.


Issue is you don’t have another edge to clean up the pressures, which I hope Abdul carter would be but likely won’t be available for the bears
