PACKED PACKERS

The Packers are facing some serious questions after a rough stretch, and we dive into whether Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst deserve to be on the hot seat. We break down the offensive line and running back situations, including questionable roster decisions, the handling of injuries, and why the team didn’t make stronger moves at running back after the Josh Jacobs situation emerged. We also examine the struggles of the current offensive line group and the Packers’ recent additions at guard.

Jordan Love’s uncomfortable performance is another major topic, as we discuss how the offensive line issues may be impacting his play and ability to make routine throws.

Then, we preview the upcoming matchup against the Buccaneers, including concerns about Tampa Bay’s massive interior defensive line, their strong play from Keionte Scott and Josiah Trotter, and the expectation that the Bucs will attack the Packers heavily on the ground, including with quarterback runs.
