What do you make of where Green Bay is
with getting Josh Jacobs back next week?
Because they beat the Cowboys.
I thought they, I can't, I think the Cowboys are awful.
I think the whole team is broken.
I think the Giants are awful.
I think the Commanders are awful.
I think the NFC East is a joke conference.
I mean, division at the moment.
But I'm starting to see some stuff with the Packers
that make me kind of think,
Okay, they might be a problem in December, January.
Where are you on Green Bay?
They could be, they definitely could be a problem
and this all comes down to like what
I'm so curious, they get Josh Jacobs back, what does Matt LaFleur
do? Yeah, he go back into the
realm of we're just going to give the ball
to Jacobs early, often, all game, and we're going to
turtle, and we're going to go back into the same type
of Green Bay mode, we're going to nerf Jordan
Love, these wide receivers are not going to get
as much usage, are we going to remain a pass-first
team, maybe not to the, the, to the extreme
that they have been, but I think that we should still
like how I'm projecting this and what
and the assumption of rational coaching I think they
should still lean into what is the strength of their offense
and that is Jordan Love and these
receivers and the pass catchers
and if they do that for all, this defense is quite dude, Jonathan
Gannon was in his bag last night too, we have
to throw that out there, like for a defense that does
not have Micah Parsons, that's living
that that the back end of that defense is playing out of
their mind right now, I think that how this defense is performing
and how many of us were projecting
this defense like entering this season of saying
no Micah Parsons, do they have a pass rush?
Can they do it? Can they, can they stop anybody?
And they have stood up and emphatically said it, I mean
like over the last two weeks, like I know they
didn't have Caleb Williams, but they still had
Ben Johnson and they still had all the playmakers
and the Bears look hapless, they crushed the
Cowboys last night at full strength
on offense it's impressive man it's impressive absolutely
impressive i think the Packers could be a problem
because the fact of it is is i don't think the
Packers go back to riding Josh Jacobs
and this being a run first offense but having the threat
of a capable run game right somewhat respect adds
more uh lethality to the passing game so i think
that like and again going back to the defense Parsons playing
so much better than even i gave
them credit for their ability to do so Gannon's
been very a very very good addition for this
defense yeah i'm eyeballing it i think there's
some value right now on Green Bay potentially
from a Super Bowl perspective or
NFC perspective, given how topsy-turvy
things have been and who they're getting back
in the next month. Because I still don't believe in
Kyler and the Vikings. That defense is
awesome, but I don't believe in Kyler.
No, no, no, no.
