If there was ever a time for the Green Bay Packers’ run game to figure itself out, it’s on Monday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles.

In a game that will likely have major NFC playoff seeding implications, the Packers come in banged up, most notably on the heels of Tucker Kraft’s season-ending ACL injury last week against the Carolina Panthers. On top of that, the Packers are dealing with multiple injuries at receiver, along with knocks to Zach Tom and Aaron Banks, who were limited in Thursday’s practice.

Despite all of those injuries, the Packers are still consensus favorites...

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said earlier this week that the Packers would open up a kicking competition between Brandon McManus and Lucas Havrisik, but special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia apparently never got the memo. LaFleur, who boasted that he didn’t talk to kickers a few weeks ago, may have spoken out of turn when he made that statement.

When asked about who would start at kicker against the Philadelphia Eagles this week, Bisaccia quickly replied that it would be McManus. When pressed about how LaFleur said it would be a competition, Bisaccia responded by saying, “Well then,...

The Green Bay Packers’ receiver room is an absolute mess going into their game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Beyond Jayden Reed (collarbone) being on injured reserve, first-round rookie receiver Matthew Golden (hip), who dropped out against the Carolina Panthers, went from a limited participant on Thursday’s practice to a complete non-participant in Friday’s practice with the team. On top of that, reserve receiver Malik Heath (hip) popped up on the injury report for the first time this week on Friday with an injury too.

Here is the Packers’ receiver depth chart, thus far in 2025:

1. Romeo Doubs
2. Christian...

I don’t think you should really ever wager on sports, and believe me, this is not betting advice. If you follow any betting advice from me, you’ll get exactly what you deserve. But here at the mid-ish point of the NFL season, I think there are a few undervalued teams hanging around out there. First, I’ll wager this is the last time you can get Baltimore at anything close to +1700 Super Bowl odds. I know none of us trust the Ravens when it actually counts, and yes, they’re 3-5. But they have a supremely easy schedule in a horrific...

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...
