After losing Tucker Kraft to a season ending ACL tear, the Green Bay Packers’ offensive infrastructure is in a pretty dark place. Not the talent level, as Green Bay still has plenty of talented players, headlined by quarterback Jordan Love who is second in EPA-per-dropback this season. The issue is not talent, but how the offense wants to be structured and how that fits the available personnel.

Like the vast majority of offensive coaches, Matt LaFleur would love to run the ball fifty times per game and win. Of course, no one can actually do that at the NFL level,...

I probably don’t need to tell you that the Green Bay Packers have a big game against the Philadelphia Eagles this Monday night. As I try to do every week, I took a look at how the Packers could attack this Eagles defense. I tend to start with numbers, then watch some film after that. I try to watch at least the two previous games from the Packers’ opponent, then use numbers for a more targeted approach. So let’s get to it.

Just from looking at the numbers, the Eagles’ defense has been pretty middle-of-the-road this season. FTN’s DVOA –...

There’s a lot of ink being spilled about whether or not Matthew Golden, the Green Bay Packers’ first-round pick, is being used correctly due to “his lack of production” through the first half of his rookie NFL season. Are those expectations realistic, though? I want to take a look at that today.

So far in 2025, Golden has “only” recorded 23 receptions for 262 yards, which many believe is far too low for the fourth receiver off the board in the 2025 NFL Draft. How do those numbers rank among rookie receivers? In receptions, he ranks fifth. In yardage, he...

Unless the Packers have a truly catastrophic end to this season, I don’t think there’s any real chance Matt LaFleur is going to get fired.

There’s been plenty of discussion about LaFleur’s employment prospects with the Packers this week, but the reality is there’s probably not much upside to making that change now, and it probably wouldn’t be accompanied by much other significant change. Maybe the Packers install Jeff Hafley as their head coach and let him hire an offensive staff, but that’s a big, tricky ask in the middle of what amounts to a two-year Super Bowl window.

The...

The Green Bay Packers’ offense already looked like it needed a jolt of creativity in the run game before last Sunday’s upset loss to the Carolina Panthers, but the events of that game made it an absolute necessity. Between a dismal 13-point performance and an abhorrent 1-for-5 day trying to score touchdowns in the red zone, the creativity and execution were not up to par.

A run game that has lain dormant for much of the season continued to be inconsistent, though there were a few sparks here and there. Josh Jacobs did rip off his second-longest run of the...

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus has been playing very poorly this season, a point of frustration for fans who watched McManus’ injury replacement, Lucas Havrisik, set the franchise record for the longest field goal made in club history at 61 yards in his last appearance with the team. Since returning from injury, McManus has missed three additional field goals in two games, which head coach Matt LaFleur has explained away as just “kickers miss kicks.”

On Thursday, McManus was not listed as limited on the Packers’ injury report, but LaFleur did say he was opening up the kicking competition,...

Coming off of his team’s bye week, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni fielded many questions about new additions to his squad’s roster, including cornerbacks Jaire Alexander and Michael Carter II and pass-rushers Jaelan Phillips and Brandon Graham, but Sirianni did have a little time to talk about his team’s next opponent, the Green Bay Packers, during his Thursday press conference.

When asked about what he thought about the Packers, overall, here’s how Sirianni responded.

“I think this is a talented group of guys, both offensively and defensively, special teams-wise. A lot of respect for their coaches. I think...

I am especially sick of bubble screens, but regular screens aren’t always the best, either! Such was the case early in the fourth quarter on Sunday when the Green Bay Packers faced third and three from the Carolina Panthers’ eight-yard line, threatening to score and tie the game at 13.

The Packers love screens of all kinds, but they’re not great at them, and when they do work, they tend to involve tight end Tucker Kraft, who was out of the game at this point. It also helps if the opposing defense is poor at tackling, or poor at defending...

Tonight’s Thursday Night Football game gets Week 10 of the NFL season underway with an AFC West rivalry matchup. Two teams headed in different directions will square off tonight as the division-leading Denver Broncos host the last-place Las Vegas Raiders in prime time.

The Broncos are in the midst of an impressive turnaround under head coach Sean Payton. Last year, they went 10-7 and made the playoffs with rookie quarterback Bo Nix, and in 2025 Denver is atop one of the better divisions with a 7-2 record. Last season saw Denver sweep the two games against the Raiders, with both...

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur didn’t shy away from the idea of a kicking competition this week. As it stands right now, the Packers are the lone team in the NFL that carries two kickers on their active roster — Brandon McManus and Lucas Havrisik — which started in Week 6.

This year, Havrisik hit all 10 of his kicks (including PATs) in his two games of action, most notably his 61-yard franchise-breaking field goal against the Arizona Cardinals. Meanwhile, McManus, who was 50 of 51 last season (including PATs), has been dealing with a quad injury. Beyond...

Not all injury-related news has to be bad news, as tough as that may be to believe for Green Bay Packers fans this year. On Thursday, the Packers actually got four players back who were either injured in the team’s last game against the Carolina Panthers or missed the game entirely.

According to Packers.com’s Weston Hodkiewicz, receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder), receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf), left guard Aaron Banks (stinger) and defensive tackle Colby Wooden (shoulder) were all participants in Green Bay’s padded practice today, even if only as limited participants. This left only receiver Savion Williams (unknown), defensive end Lukas...
