2025 Green Bay Packers Thread

With all due respect, this isn't the game to criticize Carroll.

No, not at all.  His defense did a great job today

[GB Warrior]

If the Packers were actually worried, Zayne Anderson would not be playing safety

Yea. Most of the damage happened against backups.

[forgetful]

I am glad though that they went for it on 4th and 2 to make it 48 points.

Exactly. This is an MU game day thread.

This has all been a big formality since GB scored a TD after the Boys FG to open the second half.

[CreightonWarrior]

First 7 seed to win a playoff game. That was awesome!

I actually agree, despite my comment. Just would have liked to see them at least slow them down at the end.

Bears Twitter congratulating the Pack for their chance to get blown out by the Boys after last week's game is funny.

[The Sultan]

BTW in retrospect, they clearly handled the Jaire Alexander situation well.

Packers/Niners will almost certainly be the Saturday night game next weekend. It's definitely a Saturday game, whoever the Texans play will be the Saturday afternoon game.

IOW the designated AFC South time slot.

Indeed.

Bears are always funny. I've been laughing at them for decades.

Playoffs setting up well for Packers.

Saturday night game.   It kind of had to be that.   It would be difficult having teams playing Monday and then Saturday.

Yeah if the Bills had been postponed another day, the NFL would have the winner play next Monday night.

Great opportunity for the Packers to continue developing the young talent on the roster

[Jockey]

The O-Line has been very good and at times, outstanding.

Jenkins and Tom are playing at Pro Bowl level. The only guy they lose is probably Runyan and he was probably the weakest link. Rian should have no problem replacing him next year and there should be a couple high draft picks as well.

Some interesting questions on the horizon:

1. What kind of contract does Love get?
2. You have to assume Baktiari is cut or retires, which should leave the Packers with some decent salary cap room. Do the Packers go after anyone in FA, if so, what positions?

1. Last week I said $35-$40 mil for 4 years. Now I think $45 mil for 5 years.

2. Maybe an inside linebacker (I think they cut Campbell).

Bakhtiari carries a $19M dead cap number if he's cut or retires before the 2024 season.

[The Sultan]

Right but that's better than the cap hit that they would take if they keep him. They would actually free up about $2 million when compared to this year if they cut him.

LaFleur masterclass yesterday.  Might cost Dan Quinn a head coaching job

There is no universe that Love gets anything less than Hurts (5 yr, $255M). May be a 4 yesr extension since he has one year left, but the AAV is going to he there. He took a discount last year as a bet on himself and won. Thems the breaks if you're the Packers and you gladly pay it.

Rodgers was the 8th highest paid when he signed his midyear extension, in a world where a number of those were rookies pre rookie wage scale. For what it's worth, 8th in AAV in 2024 would be Mahomes at 45, and the bar has been raised from his (relative) sweetheart deal.
