GOOD = McManus, like really, really good.

BAD = Bisaccia's STs coverage units getting exposed ... again.

UGLY = MLF calling 2 timeouts in the final minute that, on offense, revealed he had no idea if his FG kicker could make a kick from 55 yards, and, on defense, resulted in one of the worst defensive play calls since MLF's first Defensive Coordinator allowed Tom Brady to hit Scotty Miller for a TD on the final play of the first half of the 2020 NFC Championship game.

Something seems really off with MLF this season, after so much promise last season. Too bad.

The Shit For Brains Packers fooled us into thinking that they were a team that had a shot at the SB. They won only one game in their division and we all know they're one and done in the playoffs. The Bears can now say they own the Shit For Brains Packers. All season they committed penalties, dropped passes (and let's not even talk about the $255 million dollar man who's backup is better than him), a defense that can't cover the field and leaves the middle of the field wide open, coaches that should stay in college and MLF who is always confused. The Packers were not elite this year, not even close.

The good: The playoffs 2nd year in a row with the youngest team in the league.

See above.

The Good - Losing to the Bears in a meaningless game - rather than a meaningful one. The winning streak was bound to end - so better this way .

The Bad - Coaching (once again). This time all 3 parts.

Ugly - Bisaccia yelling - at someone for the Bears kick-off return. Probably better if it was self-directed.

So the Packers season comes to a sputtering end. However, all things considered, now expecting an up-bounce playoff game. Because they are due for a counter-intuitive win.

Good- McManus- Give him Bonus money now.
Bad - When players play bad.
You coach bad.( But you got to Love
MLF throwing the red flag on the refs.)
Ugly - injures .

* Point- If you talk about MLF.
You'll forget the stupidity of everyone else.
These guys played bad.
Roster cuts coming.

Good choices for all three. I agree that Heath is underutilized and although it's a limited sample size, he's our most sure-handed receiver.

I'd also add the running backs and the run blocking by the O-line to the good.

Best to put this game in the rear view mirror and concentrate on the task ahead. It looks like Watson may be lost, so I'm expecting a lot of ground and pound.

Good: McManus, Jacobs, Heath

Bad: MLF

Ugly: HC, D-Coord, ST Coach

Good: McManus, Heath, our RBs
Bad: Coaching should never cost us wins, but it did in all 3 phases of the game. Time to hire a new head coach. MLF and company making decisions that dumbfound the serious fans.
Ugly: Losing to the 4-12 da Bears (yes that team with the long losing streak) and being 1-5 in our division.
Prayers: Christian Watson

The Good: unlike two years ago, even with a season ending loss.. they’re playoff bound
The Bad: i think they were better last year. The coach doesn’t seem to have confidence in what he’s doing, and the players don’t seem to respond to his coaching.
The Ugly: despite Hafley, Cooper and McKinney , this defense still can’t be counted on in a big spot.
As an aside: Jordan Love leaves a lot to be desired. Accuracy and decision making are certainly not what I would expect from a franchise quarterback. He missed some layups the past two games.

I’m embarrassed for Hafley—a spineless and pathetic effort when it mattered the most. What the hell was he afraid of? I believe most of us were screaming for a blitz—all pressure. …and we rush three …and zero dbacks were visible on my 86 inch tv screen.
I can’t tell you how disgusted I am with this type of weak kneed, milk toast defensive approach.
This is/was exactly what we endured with Barry…
Where’s my meds…
Go Packers!!!

Do the Packers still own the Bears after this one?

Here's the ugly.....
When was the last time the Packers we're 1-5 in the Division?

It was 2005 when they went 4-12 under Favre and Mike Sherman.
Mike Sherman, one of the few stains of Ron Wolf's regime

“LaFleur said. "Like I told the team, that's on me, that can't happen."… but it ALWAYS DOES!!!

Packers will begin and end a wasted season with Philly!

“Love said. "I think guys are going to be fired up. We talked about it in the locker room … if this is playoffs, we're going home.”… isn’t this what he said after the minny game too????!!?!

"The guys had some strong words in the locker room," LaFleur said. "I think their mind will be in the right place, and it all starts with our energy, how we attack it coming into the building… how about your energy MLF???

Good: Not a damn thing about this pathetic attempt.
Bad: Gute and MLF
Ugly: Missing two Super Bowl wins because of the stupid decision to take Love instead of Jefferson. Who still believes that was the correct decision.

It's amazing how a team that averaged 3.9 yards per play, only got in the red zone once, wins an NFL game.

This game was ugly and the Minnesota game wasn't much better. And it looks likely that the Packers will be one and done in the playoffs this year. Time to fire everyone with lots of vitriol on top?

I think some perspective might be in order. In 2022 the Packers finished 8-9 and out of the playoffs with: the 21st oldest roster in the league; an aging QB nearing the end of his career; and over the cap and needing to cut high dollar players. If someone had told me back then that the Packers in 2024 would be 11-6 and make the playoffs with: the youngest roster in the NFL; a young QB with potential; and $62 million in cap space to sign their own players and/or acquire other talent - I would have been ecstatic! What a turnaround!

It is all about expectations. I think the last half of last season and the Dallas playoff game got our expectations ahead of schedule for this team. The team is still very young, still makes too many mistakes and is not a Super bowl contender yet. And yes there are questions about several players and some of the coaching. But I am still delighted with the quick turnaround from a bad 2022 team. Other organizations have wandered in the wilderness for decades before getting back to the playoffs. The Packers did it in 2 years with a promising future. I can live with the 2024 season and look forward to 2025!

The Good, we have a kicker we can count on but it took us how long to grudgely get rid of two bums before we got this guy. Points missed, games lost?
The Ugly, still in first place for all things bad on this team for the past 8 years: NO FN PASS DEFENSE
The Bad - Coaching, bad play calling piss poor special teams. Bisachia has to go he is a moron

* Good: McManus is money. Jacobs is a beast. The Packers, once again, show resiliency!

* Bad: The injuries. Love's injury doesn't seem to be serious (knock on wood) but Willis is a capable backup. Watson's is a problem. Whenever a player goes down without contact, it's not good.

* The Ugly: Special teams. The first quarter was a horror show. That punt return was an A+ clusterfuck.

Losing is losing but losing stupid is unacceptable, Reed is in the top 3 in drops maybe he's number 1 , Heath has sure hands should be taking Reeds snaps, when are the Packers going to cover the middle of the field , should Cooper have been dropped back maybe ? Well there's always next year.

I think Whelan should be in the good column. He picks up a snap that went over his head and gets off a 35 yard punt. I hope Orzech is gone next season.

Good: Ben Sirmans, running backs coach. This guy is due for a raise, what with making a star (Jacobs) and 2 undrafted guys off the street look so good this game and ALL YEAR.

Bad: Rich Bisaccia. Today’s ST performance should be the final straw. I can’t be the only one who remembers the bears ran that same fake punt return against us in 2011. Inexcusable. Fool me once, shame on you…

Tom Clements - time to move on from the past. J Love is regressing, not improving.

Ugly: MLF. He’s become the next Mike McCarthy - he’ll eke out 10-12 wins each year in ugly fashion, then lose in the playoffs.

I have been a Gute defender since he came to the Packers. Now after this season I have to wonder. Some of the criticism by people on this site of Gute is resonating in my head and I am concerned for the future of this team. I am thinking about:

Van Ness - 2nd year and very little progress. In fact his field time diminished the closer we got to the end of the year. Im so sick of hearing "well this guy is a project", im done with drafting "projects". So what, he plays up to his potential on his last contract year and we have to pay him a boat load of money? Screw that. That system is costing us money (see Gary).

Gary - another "project" player. We gave this guy a boat load of money because of 1/2 a good season. Gute was like "see I told you he would be good someday". Wrong, the guy is extremely over paid. At the beginning of the year we thought we had that one guy every defense needs: a good pass rusher. Nope.

Christian Watson - I dont want to hear anymore about how good our WR's are. Doubs is good but a head case. Reed has disappeared (what the hell happened)? Wicks cant catch. Watching the draft 2 years ago the knock on Watson by many pundits was whether his body style could hold up to NFL physicality. Gute went ahead and moved up to get this guy. Bad decision and its costing us.

Overall if you look at Detroit and MN's drafting over the last 3 years, they have far outpaced us. Minnesota has rebuilt their ol and defensive backfield in just 2 years. Detroit has talent over flowing in young players.

I hate to say it but even if the Packers do a better job of drafting and of coaching the next few years, MN and Detroit are set up to be better than the Pack for years to come.

I agree with most of what everyone is saying. Hafley, WTF!!!!, I thought this guy has his S##T together. Really, that had to be one of the dumbest calls on 3rd and 15. Just give them the entire middle of the field. If your going to call that alignment have the db play the receiver to the outside if he gets called for holding so what, it 5 yards and runs 5-8 seconds off the clock. It leaves the Bears time to run one play and not enough time for a FG attempt, DUH!!!

The Good: O-Line---they kept a fairly clean pocket and opened holes for Jacobs, Wilson, and Brooks.
The Bad: Defense. Especially 2nd half D, and most especially final drive defense. Bear offense went uphill while we went downhill.
The Ugly: Special Teams with the exceptions of McManus and Whelan. Maybe we should re-hire Ron Zook.
Kidding.
Or am I?
The Szotman

Packers open as a 5.5 underdog in Philly. surprised it isn't more

FYI, the Bears did have one timeout left, so even if LaFleur doesn't call his before the McManus kick, they would have called theirs, preserving the time. So I don't think that was as a big a deal as is being made. Of course, the Bears did use their TO on the final drive, so who knows how that would have panned out otherwise.

When I saw those guys standing way back of the field goal graphic line, I couldn't believe it!!! It's been the history of our DC's to start out good and turn into idiots after the first or second year. I guess Hafley can't even make it through his first season. Bring back Joe Barry?

We need IMO.

In free agency
Pass rusher (game changing)
CB
WR

In the draft
Pass Rusher
CB
WR

Also need a new GM, HC, STC and DC. Time to take out the trash. We should not accept mediocrity.

Good - McManus, Kraft, Musgrave. If they want the middle of the field, and they should, Kraft and Musgrave can give them that. The playoffs are the best part of the season, even better than the Superbowl. It's real football without the all the B.S.

Bad - They still pull off the run to fast. I honestly though they could've run the ball for a complete drive. They pulled Jacobs out, that's fine, but Wilson was running well too. If they would've got in a third and long, then let Willis throw, or take off if the opportunity is there. That's one thing he does well. He's faster and more sure footed than Love and generally knows when to take off.

Ugly - Just too much to list.
