The Packers just suffered another crushing loss — and at this point, it’s becoming a trend.

Green Bay was outscored 22-0 in the fourth quarter against Minnesota, and over its last five meaningful games, the Packers have now been outscored 87-12 late in games without scoring a single touchdown.

So why can’t this team finish?

A massive part of the problem may be the offensive line.

The Packers had successful runs on just 7 of 21 rushing attempts against Minnesota, Jordan Love was pressured on 54% of his dropbacks and was hit 15 TIMES. Those are numbers that simply aren’t sustainable if Green Bay expects to contend for a Super Bowl.

Today we break down Brian Gutekunst’s recent investments on the offensive line, why Green Bay may need to make a move for Kevin Zeitler, Matt LaFleur’s controversial fourth-down decision, and why the Tucker Kraft extension still gives me a ton of hope for where this offense can go.

Can this Packers team still win? Absolutely.

But they need to fix the offensive line before it ruins what could be one of the NFL’s best offenses.

The Packers open the 2026 season Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, and there are a LOT of unknowns on both sides.

Minnesota has completely changed its offense with Kyler Murray at quarterback and Frank Smith bringing over concepts from Miami’s run game. With a healthier offensive line and Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings and T.J. Hockenson around Murray, this could be a significantly better Vikings offense.

For Green Bay, the questions start on defense. Can the new 3-4 front fix a run defense that collapsed late last season? Can Edgerrin Cooper help manufacture a pass rush while Micah Parsons is out? And can a young secondary survive against Minnesota’s weapons?

On the other side, Green Bay finally gets Christian Watson and Tucker Kraft healthy at the same time, but injuries along the offensive line could completely change how Matt LaFleur has to call this game.

I break down both matchups and finish with my three biggest keys for the Packers to start the season 1-0.

The Packers’ initial 53-man roster is officially set, and quite a bit changed from what we expected just a few days ago.

In this episode of PackersNow, I go position by position through Green Bay’s final roster, the moves Brian Gutekunst made to get there, and the Packers’ 16-man practice squad.

We talk about turning Kyle McCord into a future sixth-round pick, acquiring Kaleb Johnson after Josh Jacobs landed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List, J. Michael Sturdivant earning a roster spot, the additions of Jonnu Smith and Mark Redman, young players who played their way onto the team, and some of the decisions I still question.

Then I build my own 16-man practice squad using players from across the NFL — including former high draft picks, developmental swings and experienced veterans who could provide real insurance during the season.

Overall, I think Gutekunst did a pretty good job building this roster. But with 16 practice-squad spots available, did Green Bay leave too much talent on the table?

The roster-building is basically over. Now we get to find out if this team is good enough to win a Super Bowl.

The Packers have some major decisions to make before final roster cuts — and two huge stories broke before we even got there.

We start with the charges filed against Josh Jacobs, what they could mean for his availability in 2026, and why I believe this will ultimately be his final season in Green Bay.

Then, the Packers made a move I've been asking for: signing Jonnu Smith. We break down why Smith could be a perfect replacement for Luke Musgrave and immediately upgrade one of the weakest spots on the roster.

Finally, it's time to predict the Packers' final 53. Does Kyle McCord deserve a roster spot after his huge preseason? Can Green Bay really keep seven WRs? Why J. Michael Sturdivant has forced his way onto the team, which young defensive players have earned spots, and whether Brian Gutekunst will be willing to cut one of his 2026 draft picks.

Plus, after special teams helped derail the Packers last season, could Trey Smack and Cam Achord actually turn it into a strength in 2026?

The Packers came out of Denver with a 33-10 win, but more importantly, they escaped a place that wrecked their 2025 season without a major injury.

We break down the biggest takeaways from preseason game #2, including Kamal Hadden emerging as a legitimate option in the slot, Jonathan Ford's rise at nose tackle, and a defensive line that suddenly looks much deeper than expected.

Then we get into what might be the biggest development of the preseason: could the Packers' special teams actually become a strength? Trey Smack remains perfect, Skyy Moore is providing a spark in the return game, and Cam Achord's unit continues to impress.

Finally, Aaron Banks' knee issues bring us right back to the biggest concern on this roster: the offensive line. Could Green Bay shift back toward an outside-zone running game with its younger, more athletic linemen? And with Kevin Zeitler still available, should the Packers make one more move to protect Jordan Love?

The Packers’ first preseason game gave us a few important takeaways, from Trey Smack’s huge night to growing questions about Keisean Nixon, the depth at slot corner and safety, and some encouraging signs from Jonathan Ford.

But the biggest concern coming out of the game is the offensive line.

After digging into three years of NFL data, I found that QB hit rate has a much stronger relationship with elite passing offenses than pressure rate alone—and that makes what we’re seeing from Green Bay’s offensive line even more concerning.

We break down the struggles at right guard, why the Packers’ offseason plan hasn’t worked, and why signing Kevin Zeitler could completely change the outlook of this offense.

Plus, why Kenny Moore, Jonnu Smith, Will Dissly and other remaining free agents could still fill some major holes before Week 1.

Training camp is officially underway, and Ben breaks down everything we've learned through the first three practices, including Luke Musgrave's injury, surprise performers in the secondary, concerns along the offensive line, and why Tucker Kraft's return could completely change Green Bay's offense.

Then Ben dives into one of his biggest theories yet: the Packers aren't just trying to build an efficient offense, they're intentionally trying to reduce injuries.

From fewer drives and more rushing attempts to managing player workload throughout the season, the data suggests Green Bay may be sacrificing a little offensive efficiency in exchange for a better chance of reaching January healthy.

Finally, Ben explains why fans often judge coaching decisions the wrong way, using a poker analogy to show why good decisions can still produce bad outcomes, and why Matt LaFleur deserves far more credit than he receives.

Topics include:

• Training camp injury updates
• Luke Musgrave and the tight end situation
• Offensive line concerns
• Surprise standouts through camp
• Why Green Bay intentionally plays slower
• The injury data behind running the football
• Matt LaFleur's underrated coaching philosophy
• Why process matters more than results

The Packers made another important move for their future by signing Devonte Wyatt to a new contract extension, and with that deal, Green Bay has essentially locked in its core roster through the 2027 season.

I break down why I think Wyatt's contract is one of Brian Gutekunst's best moves, what it means for the Packers' two-year Super Bowl window, and how the roster is now positioned going forward.

Then I do something I've never really done before...

I look back at my biggest hits and misses over the last three Packers offseasons.

Topics include:
• Why Devonte Wyatt's extension is tremendous value
• What the Packers' roster looks like through 2027
• Players I completely missed on (including Josh Jacobs)
• The draft prospects I was pounding the table for that turned into stars
• What I've learned about evaluating NFL Draft prospects and free agency
• Why consensus boards, versatility, and trading back continue to shape my philosophy

If we're going to evaluate the Packers, we should be willing to evaluate ourselves too. That's exactly what this episode is about.

The Green Bay Packers are getting closer to the start of the season...

But there are still some major questions that haven't been answered.

In this episode of PackersNow, I break down three areas that could define Green Bay's season.

We discuss:

• Why special teams could once again cost the Packers games
• The concerns surrounding Trey Smack and the kicking competition
• Why Joey Bosa is the free agent I would be pushing hardest to sign
• How the Packers survive until Micah Parsons returns
• The growing concerns about offensive line depth
• Why the Jager Burton hype may actually be highlighting a bigger roster problem

If the Packers want to make a Super Bowl run, these are the issues that still need to be addressed.

The Packers made one huge move, got concerning news on another star player, and watched an NFC contender push all their chips to the middle of the table.

In this episode of PackersNow, I break down Christian Watson's new contract extension and why I think Green Bay got an incredible deal on one of the most important players in Matt LaFleur's offense.

Then we shift to the Josh Jacobs situation, what we know, what we don't know, and how it exposed a bigger concern I've had about this roster for months: the Packers' lack of depth at several key positions.

Finally, we discuss the Rams' blockbuster trade for Myles Garrett and why Los Angeles may now have the most complete roster in the NFC.

Topics include:
• Why Watson's contract is a win for Green Bay
• The Packers' long-term plan for Watson, Jayden Reed, and Tucker Kraft
• Josh Jacobs and the importance of due process
• Why injuries often determine who wins championships
• The growing depth gap between the Packers and Rams
• Whether Green Bay is truly built for a Super Bowl run

The Packers have their stars. The question is whether they have enough behind them.
