The NFL Trade Deadline has passed, and the Green Bay Packers did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING while NFC contenders around them got significantly stronger. This is wildly disappointing, Packers Nation, especially after losing Tucker Kraft for the season!Let's break down all the moves that DIDN'T happen, the deals other teams made, potential free agent signings still available (Asante Samuel Jr!), and preview the huge Monday Night Football matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.TRADE DEADLINE RECAP - PACKERS DID NOTHING:What the Packers Didn't Do:❌ No tight end help after Tucker Kraft ACL injury❌ No cornerback depth additions❌ No offensive line reinforcements❌ ZERO trades - no additions or subtractions❌ Brian Gutekunst said they "opened the Super Bowl window" but sat on their handsWhy This is DISAPPOINTING:Brian Gutekunst claimed the Packers opened their Super Bowl window and want to be serious contenders. Trading for Micah Parsons showed they're willing to part with draft capital. So why didn't they help this roster when it clearly needs it?🔥 WHAT OTHER NFC CONTENDERS DID:Philadelphia Eagles (Multiple Moves!):Acquired Jaylen Hurts for a 3rd round pickGot Jaire Alexander via pick swapContinue stockpiling talent (where do they get all these picks?!)Dallas Cowboys:Added Quinnen WilliamsSigned Logan WilsonStrengthening defense despite being worst in leagueSeattle Seahawks:Traded for Rashid Shaheed (4th & 5th round picks)Legitimate NFC contender making movesChicago Bears (Even the Bears!):Signed Joe Tyron Shoyinka from BrownsLate round pick swapEveryone got better except us!TIGHT END MARKET - WHO WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN:After Tucker Kraft's devastating ACL injury, here's who was available:David Njoku (Browns):Expiring contractImmediate veteran presenceDownfield threatCould've been had for 6th or 7th round pickMY TOP CHOICE!Other Available TEs:Tommy Tremble (Panthers)Chigoziem Okonkwo (Titans)Michael Mayer (Raiders)Any would've been substantial upgradeWhat We're Left With:Luke Musgrave, John Fitzpatrick, Josh Whyle (practice squad callup), and hope.CORNERBACK TARGETS WE MISSED:Available CBs at Deadline:Marshon Lattimore (went to Commanders)Alontae Taylor (Saints)Denzel Ward (Browns - contract too big)Jerry Jeudy (Jaguars) - I REALLY wanted this one!Rookie from last year, plenty of tread on tiresPicked off Jordan Love last seasonJaguars seemed out of favor with himWould've been PERFECT additionCurrent CB Room Issues:Nate Hobbs out 2-3 weeks (sprained MCL)Hobbs signing not aging wellNeed immediate depth📋 OFFENSIVE LINE OPPORTUNITIES:Jackson Powers-Johnson (Raiders):Second-year playerCould be center of the futureMove Elgton Jenkins back to guardHelp struggling run gameTrevor Penning (Saints → Chargers):Only OL to move at deadlineWent for 6th round pickPackers could've used tackle helpTHERE'S STILL HOPE - ASANTE SAMUEL JR:FREE AGENT CB AVAILABLE NOW:Asante Samuel Jr. (former Chargers CB) has been cleared and is holding workouts for NFL teams.

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. This was a complete letdown that exposed critical flaws across ALL phases of the game.Coming off that dominant second-half performance against Pittsburgh, this was absolutely unacceptable. And to make matters worse, Tucker Kraft may have suffered a season-ending ACL injury. 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. Hoping and praying it's just an MCL, but this could be season-ending and extend into next year. Absolutely BRUTAL timing for the offense's best playmaker.What This Means:Luke Musgrave must step up immediatelyPotential FA signings: Mercedes Lewis (Broncos PS), Josh Whyle (former Titans)Massive blow to red zone offenseBest yards-after-catch TE in the league - irreplaceableTune in to find out more about this BRUTAL loss.Follow us on social:https://x.com/SoundsGoudaaahttps://x.com/olsonjordBy Packers fans, for Packers fans every Weds & Saturday on Youtube, Spotify and Apple Podcast!
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!

Packers defensive solution: Use Xavier McKinney and Evan Williams in two deep shell coverage MORE to stop tight end seams and quick passing game. Jeff Hafley must adjust scheme to clog middle of field and force QBs to hold the ball longer, giving pass rush extra time. The trade-off: more vulnerable to run, but solves biggest weakness.Rob Ralph breaks down the tactical adjustment the Packers defense desperately needs. After getting torched by tight ends like Trey McBride and struggling with quick passing attacks, the solution lies in Hafley's San Francisco/Seattle scheme tree roots: two deep safety shells.The Problem:❌ Tight end seams destroying Packers coverage (Trey McBride 2 TDs, etc.)❌ Quick passing game exploiting soft zones❌ Crossers finding too much space in middle of field❌ Linebackers playing too deep in zone coverage❌ Opponents completing quick throws before pass rush arrivesThe Solution - Two Deep Shell Coverage:✅ Drop McKinney & Evan Williams into deep shells more frequently✅ Put safety in the middle of the field (takes away tight end seams)✅ Clogs the middle and eliminates easy throws over linebackers✅ Forces QBs to hold ball longer waiting for routes to develop✅ Gives pass rush extra half-second to get home (crucial!)✅ McKinney elite at reading routes - perfect fit for this role✅ Jeff Hafley already comfortable with this scheme (49ers/Seahawks tree)The Trade-Off:⚠️ Makes Packers MORE vulnerable to the run⚠️ Teams can attack with more gaps in box⚠️ Must trust front 7 to handle run game⚠️ Could expose if opposing team commits to ground gameWhy This Works:Packers pass rush is elite (Micah Parsons, Rashan Gary, LVN)Just need extra split-second for pressure to arriveTakes away the "easy button" quick throwsForces offenses into longer developing playsPlays to McKinney's strengths (elite route recognition)Evan Williams developing well in deep coverage roleWhen to Deploy:Obvious passing situations (2nd/3rd and long)Against tight end-heavy offensesWhen facing elite quick-passing QBsRed zone defense (compress field even more)Scheme Background:Jeff Hafley learned under Pete Carroll (Seattle) and worked with Kyle Shanahan scheme tree. Two deep shell coverage is foundational to both systems. Hafley is ALREADY comfortable coaching this - just needs to deploy it more frequently against teams exploiting middle of field.Bottom Line:The Packers can't keep surrendering easy completions to tight ends over the middle. Two deep shell coverage with McKinney and Williams solves the biggest defensive weakness while playing to the team's pass-rushing strengths. Yes, it makes you vulnerable to the run - but that's a trade-off worth making when you can't stop the pass.Subscribe for more Packers tactical breakdowns!

Packers escape Cardinals 27-23 in game they "should have lost for 3 quarters." Micah Parsons dominates with 3 sacks and 10 pressures. Lucas Havrisic hits franchise-record 61-yard FG to seal win. Josh Jacobs battles through illness and calf strain for 150 yards and 2 TDs. Matt LaFleur's gutsy 4th-and-2 call wins it. But major concerns remain: Nate Hobbs coverage struggles, defense can't stop tight ends (Trey McBride 2 TDs), playing down to opponent continues.Rob Ralph breaks down the ugly win in Arizona. Despite being 6.5-point favorites, Packers struggled through first 3 quarters before clutch performances saved the day. Jordan Love made plays when needed (19/29, 179 yards), Tucker Kraft had multiple clutch catches, and the defense finally generated pressure (6 sacks total, 33 total pressures on Brissett).Game-Changing Performances:🔥 Micah Parsons: 3 sacks, 9-10 pressures, game-wrecking performance vs Cardinals OL🔥 Josh Jacobs: 150 total yards, 2 TDs (played through flu + calf strain!)🔥 Lucas Havrisic: 10/10 FGs in 2 weeks, 61-yard franchise record with 7 seconds left🔥 Tucker Kraft: Multiple clutch catches including game-winning 4th down TD🔥 Jordan Love: Clutch when needed, used legs effectively (4 carries, 22 yards)Major Concerns Despite Win:Nate Hobbs Coverage Issues (worst signing? Should Carrington Valentine start?)Tight End Coverage: Trey McBride 2 TDs, wide open repeatedly Third-and-Long Conversions: Gave up 3rd-and-23, 3rd-and-13Playing Down to Opponent (3rd straight game of inconsistency)Matt LaFleur Play Calling: Sequencing issues, getting cute at wrong timesOffensive Line Struggles: Aaron Banks, Rasheed Walker, Zach Tom not 100%Dontavian Wicks Invisible: 1 catch, 4-5 yards (trade candidate?)Defense Soft Zone Issues: Quick passing game destroying coverageKey Stats:📊 Total Pressures: Packers allowed 10, Cardinals allowed 33 (HUGE difference)📊 Sacks: Cardinals allowed 6, Packers allowed 1📊 Jacoby Brissett: 45 yards lost on sacks vs Packers defense📊 Red Zone Efficiency: Packers 100%, Cardinals 75%📊 Third Down: Packers 30%, Cardinals 57% (concerning)📊 Deep Ball: Cardinals 118 yards on deep balls, Packers 0 yardsWhat Needs to Change:Jeff Hafley must solve quick passing game and tight end coverageIs Nate Hobbs experiment over? Carrington Valentine deserves shot?Matt LaFleur play calling sequencing needs major improvementOffensive line health concerns (Zach Tom clearly not 100%)Stop playing down to opponent levelReasons for Optimism:✅ Road wins are tough - never apologize for W in Arizona✅ Micah Parsons game-changing force (worth every penny)✅ Josh Jacobs is the backbone of this offense✅ Jordan Love makes winning plays in clutch moments✅ Lucas Havrisic might have won the kicker job (can't let him go now!)✅ Tucker Kraft proving to be reliable weapon✅ Special teams solid (no major issues)Matt LaFleur Quote: "Scared money don't make money" on gutsy 4th-and-2 callNote: Jordan Olson still on paternity leave - Rob Ralph flying solo.

Josh Jacobs should dominate the Cardinals' 3rd worst run defense in the NFL. Jordan Love playing at MVP level (137.8 passer rating when clean). Cardinals are 2-4 but DANGEROUS - lost 4 straight games by only 9 combined points. Final prediction: Packers? Cardinals?Rob Ralph breaks down the Packers' three-layer offensive approach: Layer 1 - Josh Jacobs (2nd highest graded RB), Layer 2 - Jordan Love's elite intermediate passing, Layer 3 - Matthew Golden deep threat emerging. Cardinals defense ranks 28th in pass defense and 3rd worst in run defense, creating perfect matchup for Green Bay's balanced attack.Key Matchups & Storylines:Josh Jacobs vs Cardinals Run Defense (3rd worst in NFL)Matthew Golden vs Max Melton (16 catches allowed on 27 targets)Trey McBride Threat vs Packers Linebackers in ZoneMicah Parsons vs Jacoby Brissett (High Sack Rate QB)Jordan Love vs Cardinals Quarters CoverageCardinals Injury Crisis: Kyler OUT, Conner OUT, Benson OUT, Harrison Jr. ConcussionWhy Cardinals Are Dangerous Despite 2-4 Record:Lost 4 straight by ONLY 9 combined points (4, 1, 3, 1 point losses)One or two plays from being 4-2Scored 27 points last week with Brissett + backup RBsWill Johnson at CB playing like 1st rounderBudda Baker still elite safety despite PFF strugglesPackers Advantages:✅ Top 5 red zone efficiency both sides of ball✅ Josh Jacobs versatility (2nd best receiving grade among RBs)✅ Jordan Love 3rd/4th MVP candidate (83.0 PFF grade)✅ More man coverage in 2024 = better pass rush success✅ PFF ranks Packers 2nd overall, Cardinals 28th✅ Packers offense 4th ranked, Cardinals defense 28th pass defenseThings to Watch:📊 Josh Jacobs 1st half volume (15+ touches = game over)📊 Can Cardinals pressure Jordan Love? (Joshua/Campbell must dominate)📊 Packers vs two-high quarters coverage looks📊 Matthew Golden 1-on-1 vs Max Melton (major mismatch)📊 Jacoby Brissett sack rate (4-5 sacks = blowout territory)Final Prediction: Packers ?, Cardinals ?Cardinals can keep it competitive with methodical Trey McBride passing game and quick throws to keep Brissett clean. But Packers' talent gap is massive. Josh Jacobs has 120+ total yards, Jordan Love doesn't turn it over, Micah Parsons gets 2+ sacks.
