Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst, Feb 4, 2026 Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst held his season-ending press conference yesterday. There were plenty of triggering quotes in this presser, but none of them topped Gutey’s endorsement of special teams coach Rich Bisaccia. “I have a lot of faith in Rich and what we’re doing there.”  On top of that, Gutekunst also said he has “emphasized special teams” from a personnel standpoint more in the last four or five seasons. I mean what are we talking about here? Packers special teams have been a disaster for years now on the field and in rankings across the league. Then he has the nerve to say he’s emphasized it? If emphasizing special teams means putting Romeo Doubs back to return punts and two rookie receivers who never returned kicks, it’s hard to take seriously.   Brian Gutekunst says he's emphasized special teams from a personnel standpoint more in the last four or five seasons and has seen the payoff.

The next defensive coordinator of the Packers will now be the fourth in Matt LaFleur’s tenure as Packers head coach. Hafley follows another former Packer who worked in the front office, John Eric Sullivan, who is also the new general manager of the Dolphins. What’s next? Malik Willis at quarterback?

Photo Credit: Madison Morris, packers.com On Monday this week, the players for the Green Bay Packers cleaned out their lockers and talked to the media one last time before disappearing into the offseason. There were many stories and insights from key players such as Micah Parsons and Tucker Kraft. The main story and question surrounding the Packers right now is what are they going to do with head coach Matt LaFleur? Give him an extension or move on? Parsons, as he leaned on his crutches, made it clear what he thinks of Matt LaFleur as a coach and as a person. Most notably, he was quoted saying, “I reached out to him when I started seeing this and I said, when I agreed to come here, you were part of the reason.” Micah Parsons with a strong endorsement of Packers coach Matt LaFleur. “I reached out to him when I started seeing this and I said, ‘When I agreed to come here, you were part of the reason.’” pic.twitter.com/f8dNblb9Fc — Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) January 12, 2026   Tucker...

Photo Credit: Evan Siegle, packers.com It’s so hard to believe that it’s really not that hard to believe. Unbelievable things kept happening that every Packer fan could see coming from a mile away on Saturday night at Soldier Field. No matter how crazy they were, the writing was on the wall this entire season. For 16 years, we have been blessed with winning Packers football and chances to play in the postseason. The results? Nothing but sheer heartbreak. The Games: 2013 WC vs. SF - Led 17-13 until 10:31 left. Lost lead, tied it, lost on walkoff FG 2014 NFCCG at Sea - You Know 2015 Div at Arz - Led 13-10 until 3:50 left 2021 Div vs SF - Led 10-3 until 4:41 Left 2023 Div at SF - Led 21-17 until 1:07 left 2025 WC at Chi — Eric Drews (@GreenGold4Ever) January 11, 2026 Uncharted territory for Green Bay 😳 The Packers are the first team since the 1970 merger to lose 3 games when leading by 10+ points in the final 5 minutes of the game, including playoffs. pic.twitter.com/oUNtZ6lbmG — ESPN I...

Photo Credit: Evan Siegle, packers.com There’s no other way to put or describe this game between the Packers and Bears on Saturday night. All or Nothing. If the Bears lose to the Packers will it be considered a losing season? "Everything the Bears have accomplished, everything the Bears have done, every positive sentiment is gone if the Packers go in and end their season." - @stoolpresidente pic.twitter.com/7ndv5pcl45 — Wake Up Barstool (@wakeupbarstool) January 5, 2026   Matt LaFleur put it best in one of his press conferences earlier this week. He said, “Ultimately it’s about what you do on that day.” That is exactly the case for Saturday’s game. The Packers have had the definition of a rollercoaster season, starting with two statement wins, a loss to the Browns, a tie against the Cowboys, to holding the one seed in the NFC, season-ending injuries to key players, and ending the season on a 4-game losing streak (oof). This game against the Bears is a chance to wipe the sla...

  Photo Credit: Evan Siegle, packers.com Some good news and bad news ahead of the Packers matchup on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Let’s start with the good news. Jordan Love has cleared concussion protocol and is back to practicing fully. This is massive news for the G and G, as they get their starting quarterback back just in time for the playoff push. The Packers also added some more depth at corner, signing Trevon Diggs after he was released by the Cowboys.

Although Diggs’ numbers are not as pretty as some may like, the Packers defense desperately needed bodies at the corner position, ...
