What Happened to the Lambeau Leap?

            It’s already week eleven and the Green Bay Packers have not conducted a single Lambeau Leap this season. This is extremely concerning, the Lambeau Leap is a part of Packer tradition after a touchdown, and not one single Packer has attempted to jump into the stands this year.

            Now I know what all of you are thinking, oh the Packers should be worried about scoring on offense instead of celebrating after the fact. Well, here’s the deal buddy, you just don’t understand. The Lambeau Leap is a staple and even though it hasn’t happened as much as we would like it to in recent seasons, the Packers have never gone until week eleven to conduct the iconic jump.

            It does make some sense in certain areas that Packer players haven’t elected to do the Lambeau Leap this season. Reason one is the offensive production, but reason number two is probably the biggest considering how young the offensive unit is. Hate Aaron Rodgers all you want, but as a veteran and a leader of the team, he made sure the young guys were aware of how special it is to wear the green and gold.

            Maybe if the young guys were more aware of the Lambeau Leap it would boost the offensive production. Jumping into the stands and getting beer poured on you after a touchdown is so sick and could be a nice little motivator for this struggling offense to score more points. Veterans on the team like Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, and even David Bakhtiari should be getting in the young guys’ ears and telling them how dope the Lambeau Leap truly is.

            It’s a fun play and the Packers need to take back ownership of it. Too many other teams have jumped in the stands after scores, including the division rival Lions who mocked the leap by doing after beating the Packers on Thursday Night Football earlier this season.

            Make Lambeau Leap awareness a thing! We need to see the leap happen at some point this season sooner or later. If it doesn’t happen, it will be extremely upsetting because that means the tradition is dying, and the only guy who truly embraced being in green and gold every Sunday was Aaron Rodgers who isn’t on the team anymore.

The Injury Bug is Bad in Green Bay

  The Injury Bug is Bad in Green Bay                It’s early, but through four games the Packers have had multiple injuries that have hurt them early this 2023 NFL season.             For starters, the loss of David Bakhtiari to IR is a killer. Unfortunately, most Packer fans could see it coming from a mile away. His injury at the end of the 2020 season seems to be a career killer to what could have been a clear-cut hall-of-fame career.             Other offensive line injuries have hurt the Packers as well, Elgton Jenkins is expected to miss a few games with a knee injury after exiting week 2 against Atlanta. Zach Tom, who has performed well for the Packers early, is also dealing with a knee injury. These injuries are another indicator as to why the Packers have struggled to run the football early. Of course, Aaron Jones playing only one full game hurts, but these offensive line injuries need to end quickly if the Packers expect to win more games. Continuing with the offense, Christ

The Packers Destroyed the Vikings on SNF

(Photo via Evan Siegle on packers.com)             I have two words for you…Jayden Reed!             What an impressive performance from the green and gold in primetime against the Vikings. They dominated in every aspect of this game as they should’ve. Jayden Reed is easily the steal of the draft this season and this game proved it even more. The connection between Love and Reed is something special, and the future looks very bright for the Packers. . @jordan3love ➡️ @JaydenReed5 for the TD! #GBvsMIN | #GoPackGo 📺: NBC pic.twitter.com/8QRr5RCyv7 — Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 1, 2024 THAT'S A @jordan3love TD! 🏃💨 #GBvsMIN | #GoPackGo 📺: NBC pic.twitter.com/mnNyZGdKJO — Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 1, 2024 ANOTHER @JaydenReed5 TD! #GBvsMIN | #GoPackGo 📺: NBC pic.twitter.com/FT58FpKFbq — Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 1, 2024 Capping off a 91-yard drive!

Packers vs. 49ers Preview: Prepare for a Matt LaFleur Masterclass

Image
  Can the Green Bay Packers do it again? Can they shock the entire nation by beating the San Francisco 49ers at home? It’s going to be a tall task and a lot of things are going to need to go their way. However, as we’ve seen this season, any team is beatable.             The 49ers are an absolute wagon and as of recent history, they’ve dominated the Packers in the playoffs. However, we’re not here to dwell on the past, we’re here looking forward to the future as the Packers themselves have done this season. They battled back from a 3-6 record and are now one of the hottest teams in the NFL following their 4 th  win in a row against the Dallas Cowboys last weekend. The Packers are 0-4 in their last four playoff games against the 49ers. Aaron Jones: "It's not about the past. It's about the future and what we're about to do right now." pic.twitter.com/eoQfRXlx9g — Adriana Torres (@TorresAdrianaTV) January 18, 2024             I could say the Packers don’t have a sho
