Get the ball in Matthew Golden’s hands and let him work. 🔥

Golden turned short passes into big gains against the Jets and even showed some veteran savvy drawing a penalty downfield.

With Jayden Reed sidelined, the Packers are going to need even more from Golden going forward. Is the rookie ready for a bigger role in Green Bay’s offense?

Matthew Golden Is Becoming a WEAPON for the Packers

Lukas Van Ness showed up BIG against the Jets. After all the criticism surrounding the former first-round pick, LVN delivered 10 tackles and came up with a massive stop on fourth-and-one.

Is this the breakout performance Packers fans have been waiting for?

Lukas Van Ness Is FINALLY Showing Why He Was a First-Round Pick

Skyy Moore gives the Packers a huge punt return and a chance to win the game in regulation… and then Matt LaFleur plays it safe.

Instead of attacking with great field position, Green Bay gets conservative and seemingly settles for overtime.

The Packers eventually escaped with the 20-17 win—but did LaFleur make this game much harder than it needed to be?

Matt LaFleur Almost Cost the Packers the Game

The Packers had momentum after an explosive return from Bo Melton—and then Jayden Reed let an easy one slip through his hands. We break down the costly drop, why Green Bay needs more consistency from Reed, and how missed opportunities like this can completely change a game.

Jayden Reed’s Drop Killed the Packers’ Momentum

Keisean Nixon made some splash plays against Minnesota, but was his Week 1 performance really as good as some Packers fans and content creators are making it out to be? We break down the numbers, the coverage issues and why we think there might be a little too much “lipstick on the pig” when it comes to Nixon’s performance.

Did Keisean Nixon REALLY Have a Good Game?

The Packers had a decision to make between Jennings and rookie Burton at left guard—and after what we saw on the field, did they choose wrong? We break down Green Bay’s decision, what each player brings to the offensive line, and whether it’s already time to rethink the starting lineup.

Did the Packers Make the Wrong Call at Left Guard?

After dropping Week 1 to Minnesota, the Packers are already playing from behind in the NFC North. Now they head into a matchup with the Jets that feels like one Green Bay simply has to bank. An 0–2 start would put the Packers in an early hole—can they get back on track before things get uncomfortable?

Packers CANNOT Afford to Start 0–2

There were plenty of frustrating calls that had Packers fans questioning the officiating, from questionable holding penalties to flags at crucial moments. But did the refs actually cost Green Bay the game—or did the Packers simply make too many mistakes of their own? We break down the controversial calls and where the real blame belongs.

Did the Refs Cost the Packers the Game?

Minnesota found a weakness in the Packers’ offensive line—and you can bet the Jets noticed. After Brian Flores turned up the pressure in Week 1, Green Bay now has to prove it can handle the blitz. Will the Jets keep attacking until the Packers show they can stop it?

Packers’ O-Line Has Been EXPOSED — Can They Fix It?

Lukas Van Ness was one of the bright spots for the Packers’ defense, consistently creating pressure and making his presence felt. Outside of one costly offsides penalty, LVN looked like the disruptive pass rusher Green Bay has been waiting to see. Is this finally the breakout for Van Ness—and can he help carry the pass rush until Micah Parsons returns?

Is Lukas Van Ness FINALLY Breaking Out?

The Packers are back to .500, but can they survive a short week and a growing injury list?

On this episode of Ohana Packers Edition, we're breaking down Green Bay's Week 3 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. With questions surrounding the offensive line, key players sidelined and Jordan Love needing better protection, Thursday night could get interesting.

We discuss how Green Bay can contain Bijan Robinson, the challenges presented by Drake London and Kyle Pitts, and whether the Packers' defense can make life miserable for Michael Penix Jr.

Plus, we're making our weekly over/under predictions! Will Matthew Golden finally find the end zone? Can the Packers establish their running game? And which players are due for a breakout performance?

Love Hurts... Especially Behind This Line

The losing streak is over—but that might be the nicest thing we can say about this one.

The Green Bay Packers escaped New York with a 20-17 overtime victory over the Jets, improving to 1-1 after one of the strangest, sloppiest games we’ve seen in a long time.

We break down the good, the bad, and the moldy from Green Bay’s Week 2 win. Lukas Van Ness looks like he’s taking a major step forward, Javon Bullard was flying all over the field, Matthew Golden continues to flash, and Skyy Moore delivered a huge punt return when the Packers desperately needed a spark.

But there’s plenty to worry about. Jordan Love and the offense struggled to find a rhythm, the Packers put the ball on the ground five times, the offensive line is becoming a serious concern, and Matt LaFleur’s late-game decision-making once again left us asking questions.

It wasn’t pretty. It definitely wasn’t easy. But the Packers are back to .500.

A win is a win… right?

#Packers #GoPackGo #GreenBayPackers #NFL #PackersVsJets #OhanaPackersEdition

Packers Win… But What the Hell Was That?

The Packers have no time to dwell on Week 1.

After a frustrating loss to Minnesota, Green Bay heads to MetLife Stadium looking to get back on track against the New York Jets. We break down what has to change in Week 2, beginning with an offensive line that needs to give Jordan Love more time to operate.

Could Anthony Belton help provide an answer up front? How will Green Bay match up with the Jets in the trenches? And can the Packers defense build on the positives from Week 1 while dealing with injuries to Lukas Van Ness and Javon Hargrave?

We also dig into Keisean Nixon's Week 1 performance, the biggest threats the Jets present, and our Week 2 over/under predictions for Jordan Love, Matthew Golden, Christian Watson, Marshawn Lloyd and more.

It's only Week 2—but falling to 0–2 would put Green Bay in an early hole.

Time to fix it… or fall behind.

Fix It or Fall Behind

The Packers are 0-1 after a frustrating Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings — and there is PLENTY of blame to go around.

Iowa Joe and Mike break down a game that featured questionable officiating, missed opportunities, offensive line problems, a disappearing run game, and another late-game collapse that felt way too familiar.

We give Jordan Love his flowers after he carried the offense, highlight strong performances from Lukas Van Ness and the defensive front, question some of Green Bay’s roster and lineup decisions, and dive into whether Brian Gutekunst and Matt LaFleur did enough to fix the problems everyone saw coming.

And, yeah… we have to talk about the refs. A lot.

Was Week 1 just one ugly loss, or are the Packers already showing signs of the same problems that have haunted them before?

Go Pack Go! 🧀🏈

Same Old Packers, Same Pain

The wait is finally over. Week 1 is here, and the Green Bay Packers are heading to Minnesota to open the 2026 season against the Vikings!

On this episode of Ohana Packers Edition, we break down everything we're watching heading into the season opener. How concerned should we be about Green Bay's injury report? Can the Packers' young secondary hold up against Kyler Murray, Justin Jefferson and the Vikings offense? And where can Jordan Love and the Packers offense take advantage of Minnesota's defense?

Plus, we bring back the over/unders and make our predictions for Jordan Love, Matthew Golden, Marshawn Lloyd, Lukas Van Ness, Tucker Kraft and more.

It's Week 1. We think we know what these teams are... but now we're finally about to find out.

The Calm Before the Skol | Packers vs. Vikings Week 1 Preview.

The roster is set, the practice squad is (mostly) settled, and now it’s time to find out what this Packers team can actually do.

On this episode of Ohana Packers Edition, Mike and Joe break down Green Bay’s practice squad, including some head-scratching decisions, potential early call-ups, and why the long snapper situation has us asking more questions than we expected.

Then it’s prediction time.

We go game-by-game through the 2026 Packers schedule, picking wins and losses and trying to figure out just how good this team can be. Can Jordan Love put himself into the MVP conversation? Can the offensive line and running game answer their biggest questions? Is the defense good enough to push Green Bay into the NFC’s top tier?

Somehow, we end up at 13–4 — but even we admit there’s a lot that has to go right to get there.

The predictions are officially locked in. Now it’s time to play football.

The Packers’ initial 53-man roster is officially set — but Green Bay might not be finished yet.

We break down the final roster position by position, react to the biggest surprises from cutdown day, and discuss the moves that shaped the Packers heading into Week 1.

We get into the running back room and the addition of Caleb Johnson, Green Bay’s decision at backup quarterback, the Kyle McCord trade, some surprising roster decisions, and the positions where the Packers could still be looking for help on the waiver wire or through another trade.

Plus, with cuts happening across the NFL, we look at some newly available players who could make sense for Green Bay as the roster continues to take shape.

The Packers’ Final 53 Is Here… But They’re Not Done

The preseason is over, and now comes the hard part: who actually makes the Green Bay Packers’ final 53-man roster?

We go position by position with our FINAL roster predictions before cutdown day — and there are some tough calls.

🏈 Is the Packers’ backup quarterback even on the roster right now?

🏈 Does Pierre Strong earn a spot in the backfield?

🏈 Who survives the crowded wide receiver room — and is Skyy Moore on the outside looking in?

🏈 How will injuries affect the initial 53?

🏈 Could Green Bay still make a trade or hit the waiver wire at tight end, cornerback, or another position?

Plus, we break down the battles along the offensive and defensive lines, linebacker, cornerback and safety as Green Bay gets ready for the regular season.

These are our predictions based on the roster as it stands now — because we fully expect Brian Gutekunst to have a few more moves up his sleeve.

Packers Final 53: Who Stays, Who Goes & Who Gets Gutey’d?

Who’s actually safe in Green Bay — and who might be running out of time?

We break down the latest from Packers camp and the preseason, including whether Skyy Moore is really a lock for the 53-man roster, growing concerns about the backup quarterback situation, and whether it might be time for Green Bay to move on from Keisean Nixon.

Plus, we talk MarShawn Lloyd’s encouraging progress, the battle at kicker, Lukas Van Ness flashing up front, questions along the offensive line and the roster decisions that could get very interesting as cutdown day approaches.

The regular season is getting closer. Which Packers have earned their spot — and who still has something to prove?

Locks, Lies & Roster Bubbles

The Packers are back on the field, and while a 28-9 preseason loss to Pittsburgh won't exactly get anyone planning a parade, the final score wasn't the important part.

This week on Ohana Packers Edition, we break down what actually mattered from Green Bay's first preseason action. Is rookie corner Cisse making a legitimate case to start Week 1? Did Lukas Van Ness finally show the player the Packers have been waiting for? What did we learn about the new-look defensive front, and should Green Bay already be looking for help at linebacker?

On offense, we talk Jordan Love's brief appearance, Kyle McCord's promising two-minute work, the offensive line holding its own, and what the Packers are learning about the battles further down the depth chart.

And then there's Trey Smack.

The rookie kicker got his chance in Pittsburgh and made the most of it, giving Green Bay exactly the kind of game-day performance it needed to see.

The scoreboard wasn't pretty, but for a first preseason game? The Packers may have gotten quite a few of the answers they were looking for.

Football is back. Go Pack Go!
