Defense needs to step up for Packers to have a chance to make playoffs https://packerswire.usatoday.com/2022/12/16/packers-defense-must-step-up-to-challenge-down-the-stretch-of-2022/
I am increasingly convinced the problem is the GM and not the coaching staff. Bisaccia is supposed to be one of the better special teams coaches out there, and their special teams has been no better this year. And last year the defense wasn't great...but wasn't awful...and certainly not the reason they were knocked out of the playoffs. (To be clear, I think Barry needs to be replaced.)There just enough talent throughout the roster. Sure they hit on picks here and there, but the middle of the draft is where you have to consistently find talent to fill out your special teams and that steps up when others are injured. And it just isn't happening.
Personally, I think there is a major disconnect between the Murphy, Gute, and LaFleur. The defense is loaded with great talent that is going to waste because of defensive scheme. Barry should be canned without a doubt. But MLF seem to have zero ability to evaluate talent. He doesn't have the players to run the system he wants, but continues to run the system despite not having the talent required for it. For the first time in a long time I feel like the Packers aren't drafting smart players. They have a ton of athletes, but none that fit what the schemes are trying to accomplish. Gute seems to change his draft strategy every year. This year he seemed to only care about RAS scores. Either way, you're exactly right, the mid rounds just feels like he is throwing darts randomly and hoping to get a player that works out. And they're not. He should trade every 3rd rounder considering the value he's been getting.Anyway, I just don't get the overall team strategy... and I'm not sure they even have one.
Reading that and I do ponder the notion they should just clean house including the QBA new President will be interesting max. Will it be an in-house hire or do they go out and get someone with a fresh perspective? Is it a football guy or a Harlan type? Change is coming sooner than later
ND grad? Welp. There goes the neighborhood
I am about pretty sure the new President will be Ed Policy. https://www.packers.com/team/front-office-roster/ed-policyOf course, I could be as wrong about that as I was the next Wisconsin football coach.

TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Basically the Pack needs to win out and get some (reasonable) help to steal the 7 seed right? If they lose to either Miami or Minnesota I think it means that all three of the Hawks, Lions, and Commies need to lose out.
Hope kneeling on the one yard line on end doesn’t come back to haunt Packers if a playoff tie breaker came to point differential…..https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/12/20/matt-lafleur-on-kneeldown-at-1-yard-line-theres-a-way-you-handle-winning-in-this-league/
