ESPN’s Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy after the Packers’ Thanksgiving win over the Lions to explain why Matt LaFleur’s game plan was not only aggressive — but his best of the season. Wilde breaks down how LaFleur “out-Dan-Campbelled Dan Campbell,” embracing an attack-mode mentality and committing to going for it on fourth down as part of the actual game plan, not a coin-flip decision.
Wilde also highlights Jordan Love’s biggest step forward: trusting receivers on tight-window throws, especially Dontayvion Wicks, who made multiple contested plays that earlier in the season the Packers simply weren’t making. With Wicks, Watson, and others finally helping Love by executing, LaFleur’s offense looked like what it was supposed to be back in September.
The segment also digs into LaFleur’s growth as a play-caller, the team’s execution-driven improvement, the “winky” timeout moment, and why the Packers’ aggressive identity must continue as they push toward the NFC North title.
