Packers Locked Into the 7-Seed: Week 18 Strategy, Playoff Fears & What Comes Next

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe, and Chewy to break down the Packers’ delicate balancing act heading into the final week of the regular season. With Jordan Love missing time, starters potentially sitting, and the roster stretched thin by injuries, the conversation centers on how Matt LaFleur is managing risk versus readiness before the playoffs. Jason shares insight on who might play, who should be protected, and why this week feels more like a bye than a must-win. The group also digs into Jordan Love’s response to questions about rust, the coaching staff’s confidence in practice adjustments, and the fascinating quarterback depth situation behind him. Plus, a look at under-the-radar players to watch, why defensive matchups loom large in January, and whether a late-season losing streak truly matters once playoff football begins.

The Packers head into a strange Week 18 with playoff seeding mostly set — and a lot of unanswered questions. Jason Wilde and Alex Strouf discuss why Jordan Love still hasn’t cleared concussion protocol, whether Green Bay is being overly cautious, and why Matt LaFleur is expected to rest starters in Minnesota. They also break down the surprise waiver claim of Trevon Diggs, the Packers’ battered secondary, what the QB plan could look like Sunday, and which playoff matchup Green Bay would rather see: the Bears or the Eagles.

With the Packers locked into the NFC’s 7-seed, we debate how Matt LaFleur should handle Week 18 against the Vikings and what lessons still matter heading into the Wild Card round. We discuss potential playoff opponents, Jason Wilde joins with insight from inside the building, and we explore logical landing spots for Malik Willis amid offseason quarterback dominoes. The conversation turns urgent as we examine whether the defense’s collapse against the Ravens is a red flag for the postseason, fire off a loaded “Buy or Sell” segment on LaFleur’s future, Micah Parsons’ injury, and the Packers’ place in the playoff field, then wrap with NFC playoff power rankings and a wide-ranging discussion with Matthew Coller.

ESPN Packers reporter Rob Demovsky joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to deliver a blunt assessment of what went wrong defensively in the Packers’ loss to the Ravens and whether this roster has been overinflated from a talent standpoint. The discussion digs into how injuries and departures along the defensive line finally caught up to Green Bay, why the run defense collapsed so dramatically, and how issues with technique, alignment, and assignments led to a historically bad rushing performance. Rob also weighs in on the potential ramifications for the futures of the head coach and general manager if the late-season slide continues, evaluates which players could return next year versus who may be gone, and addresses growing concerns about depth, roster construction, and accountability. With the playoffs approaching, this is a clear-eyed look at where the Packers really stand — and the tough questions looming ahead.
