The Green Bay Packers found themselves in the driver's seat heading into their Sunday night matchup against the Detroit Lions. After crushing the Minnesota Vikings the week before, the Packers found themselves riding a four-game winning streak. Their Sunday night opponent was eliminated from the playoff picture earlier in the day. Along with that, they were playing in prime time on their home field. The Packers could taste the playoffs. But that taste quickly turned sour. For a team playing for so much, they never showed it against the Lions. Instead, they laid down like dogs and were beaten 20-16, ending their 2022 season. It wasn't just Sunday's game that was disappointing. For a team with Super Bowl aspirations, they never came close to playing like a contender. If you are looking to blame someone, it should start with Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur. READ MORE

The Green Bay Packers kept their playoff hopes alive with their 26-20 victory over the Miami Dolphins. With two games left, the Packers will need to continue their winning streak to have any chance of making the playoffs. While their season continues, the Packers front office is pondering decisions they need to make for next season. The Packers have a lot of decisions to make in regard to 2023. They will be strapped for cash heading into 2023. Many of the current players will not return. A good chunk of them will find themselves as salary cap casualties.

Safety Darnell Savage, has struggled mightily and has been a massive disappointment for the Green Bay Packers. READ MORE
