🎙️ Episode Description

In this episode of Packers Blitz, John and Andy kick off the New Year by tackling the biggest questions surrounding the Green Bay Packers as the regular season winds down. From shutting down the so-called quarterback controversy to debating whether Matt LaFleur’s seat is heating up, the guys pull no punches.

They break down the brutal Ravens loss at Lambeau, analyze what Derrick Henry’s historic performance exposed about the Packers’ defense, and discuss the future of Rashan Gary in Green Bay. The episode wraps with a look at the NFC playoff picture, the meaningless Week 18 matchup against the Vikings, and what (if anything) gives Packers fans hope heading into the postseason.

• Is there really a QB controversy in Green Bay? (Short answer: no)

• Why Jordan Love remains the guy despite Malik Willis’ breakout performances
