Real Packer Fans Know

  Well, folks, we knew the season opener was gonna be wild, but no one expected to see a game that felt more like a hockey match on a Brazilian slip ‘n slide. The Green Bay Packers couldn’t fend off the Philadelphia Eagles and to add insult to injury—literally—Jordan Love went down with an MCL sprain at the very end of the game. Absolute gut punch. The field conditions have been a problem in Brazil, with Packers and Eagles players slipping all over the place. Here are consecutive plays on a Packers drive where their players slipped. 🏈😵‍💫🇧🇷 #NFL pic.twitter.com/qVhfOsdP44 — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) September 7, 2024 Packers and Eagles players trying to run on the field in Brazil pic.twitter.com/bbtEeesD94 — Shooter McGavin (@ShooterMcGavin_) September 7, 2024 Love’s injury?

  The details of Jordan Love’s new monster contract with the Packers are out and my oh my, that boy got paid! After an exceptional finish to the second half of Love’s first season as the Packers' starting quarterback, he earned a new 4-year 220-million-dollar contract tying him as the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL next to Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence at 55 million per year. Love also gets a 75-million-dollar signing bonus on top of 155 million in full guaranteed money in this deal. Jordan Love and the Packers have agreed to a 4 year $220M contract, that makes him the highest paid QB in NFL history. He also gets a record $75M Signing Bonus plus $155M in new full gurantees.

Mandatory Credit: Brad Rempel-USA TODAY Sports /             Since the dawn of the Brett Favre era, the Green Bay Packers have been one of the most successful franchises in the NFL since the 1990s. We all know they’ve had a ton of help from hall-of-fame quarterbacks. However, there’s more to it that most people don’t realize how the Packers have maintained relevancy for so long.             It takes an entire organization to maintain the level of success the Packers have had. They have won a lot of football games and developed a ton of talent. But there’s one motto that has kept this team atop for so long and that motto is…move on from players a year early instead of a year too late.             It’s a simple phrase, but it’s been quite effective. It’s hard for fans to understand

              Holy smokes!             The Green Bay Packers are going off in free agency right now and I am all for it. We haven’t seen this big of signings since the Packers got Charles Woodson in 2006. This is nuts.             The Packers started free agency today by releasing David Bakhtiari who was a cornerstone of the Packers’ offensive line for four years as an all-pro. Bakhtiari suffered a knee injury and was never the same after the fact. It was officially time for him and the Packers to split up after 11 years. A lot of emotion in this. I just want to say THANK YOU Green Bay. Thank you for the last 11 years. It’s been a hell of a run. I always wanted to raise a Lombardi on Lombardi avenue, but I will never complain. I gave it my all. I always gave it my best no matter the circumstance… pic.twitter.com/dnc7gkKSAC — David Bakhtiari (@DavidBakhtiari) March 11, 2024             Immediately after that news broke, Ian Rapoport reported that Josh Jacobs would be signing with the G

          The Packers have officially announced who is taking over the open defensive coordinator job. Per Pete Thamel of ESPN, Boston College head coach Jeff Hafley will be leading the Packers’ defense next season.

Nonetheless, his name isn’t Joe Barry or Brandon Staley, so I think the Packers are off to a pretty good start.             One thing I’ve noticed that Hafley preaches to his defense is the importance of press-man coverage. Press-man coverage? On the Green Bay Packers’ defense? This can’t be real. “Love press man. Got to be able to play press man. Have to be able to." Jeff Hafley. Ok, I'm in. — Aaron Nagler (@A

            And just like that, the season is over. What a ride it has been. No doubt this loss is going to sting, the Packers had so many opportunities and they just couldn’t capitalize on expanding their lead in this game.             You can’t help but be proud of this team. As the youngest team in the NFL in a transition season, the Packers found their guy at quarterback and won a playoff game. Obviously in a game like that against the 49ers, you want to seize the moment and win that game. But at the end of the day, the youth and inexperience of this team got the best of the Packers. Going 2-5 on trips to the red zone is a real kick in the teeth. The offense had been cooking the last few weeks and we knew they could get their points but that just wasn’t the case. Adding in Carlson’s field goal miss too which would’ve kept this game tied after the CMC’s last touchdown makes it look even worse. We knew Carlson wasn’t great throughout the season and Matt LaFleur even said it himself.
