This one HURTS, Packers Nation. The Green Bay Packers just suffered one of their most devastating and frustrating losses of the season, falling 16-13 at HOME to the 1-6 Carolina Panthers.

Let's break down everything that went wrong in this disaster.FINAL SCORE: Panthers 16, Packers 13Record Update: Packers 5-2-1 (still 1st in NFC North, but...)TUCKER KRAFT INJURY UPDATE:The worst news of the day - Tucker Kraft potentially out with an ACL injury.

Packers vs Panthers Week 10 preview and prediction. Green Bay is 13-point home favorites against 4-4 Carolina. Jordan Love dominates from clean pocket (86% completion rate, best in NFL). Panthers have 5th-ranked rushing attack but injuries on offensive line. Bryce Young likely starts over Andy Dalton. Final predictions: 31-24 (Rob), 30-16 (Jordan), or 24-19 if Packers play down to opponent. Plus trade deadline discussion on cornerback targets.Rob Ralph and Jordan Olson break down why the Packers should dominate but might not cover the spread. Carolina is 4-4 for a reason - competitive in every game despite losing record. Panthers want to establish run with Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdell, then attack with play-action to Tate McMillan. Packers must avoid trap game mentality before Eagles matchup next week.Trade Deadline Discussion:Packers should target cornerback help. Top candidates: Alontae Taylor (Saints), Tariq Woolen (Seahawks), Denzel Ward (Browns), Taylor Britt (Bengals). Proposed swap: Dontavian Wicks for Alontae Taylor plus draft pick. Wild card idea: Trade McManus to kicker-needy team, go younger/cheaper with Havrisic. Romeo Doubs likely leaves in 2025 free agency due to cap constraints.Offensive Keys:Run the ball at anyone NOT named Derrick Brown (elite defensive tackle). Jordan Love is best QB from clean pocket in 2025 - Carolina has no pass rush. Offensive line getting healthier (Aaron Banks improving). Christian Watson returns, Matthew Golden predicted to score first TD. Tucker Kraft should dominate weak linebacker coverage. Attack left side of line where Panthers are vulnerable.Defensive Keys:Stop the run first - Panthers 5th in rushing, led by Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdell. Shut down Tate McMillan (only legitimate receiving threat). Play single-high safety with Xavier McKinney, bring Evan Williams into robber role. Carrington Valentine continues starting over Nate Hobbs. Micah Parsons and Rashan Gary attack injured offensive line. Panthers backup right tackle Yosh Nijman has struggled.Matchup Advantages:Packers offensive line vs Panthers pass rush (Nick Scourton only threat). Jordan Love vs Bryce Young (81.5 PFF grade vs 67.3). Tucker Kraft vs Panthers linebackers (weak in coverage). Packers run defense (3rd best) vs Panthers run offense (5th best). Xavier McKinney playing centerfield vs limited receiving weapons.Playing Down Concerns:Rob and Jordan discuss Packers' frustrating tendency to play down to opponents as double-digit home favorites. Matt LaFleur's second-down run play tendency criticized. "Playing down formula": subtract 6 points from Packers offense, add 3 to opponent - results in 24-19 instead of 30-16. Can Packers put together complete four-quarter game?Score Predictions:Rob Ralph: Packers 31, Panthers 24 (garbage time TD makes it closer)Jordan Olson: Packers 30, Panthers 16 (if executing properly)Playing Down Version: Packers 24, Panthers 19 (poor first half)TIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Intro & Trade Deadline Discussion3:16 - Alontae Taylor, Tariq Woolen, Denzel Ward Targets9:00 - McManus Kicker Trade Idea9:58 - Panthers Game Preview Overview10:33 - Trap Game or Not?13:14 - Bryce Young vs Andy Dalton16:04 - Panthers Run Game Critical17:28 - Packers Offense vs Panthers Defense24:33 - Jordan Love Clean Pocket Dominance26:14 - Packers Defense vs Panthers Offense30:06 - Nate Hobbs vs Carrington Valentine33:03 - Parsons/Gary Attack Interior Line34:14 - Score Predictions36:07 - Playing Down to Opponent Frustration39:12 - Matt LaFleur Second Down Run CriticismFollow us on social:https://x.com/SoundsGoudaaahttps://x.com/olsonjordBy Packers fans, for Packers fans every Weds & Saturday on Youtube, Spotify and Apple Podcast!
