This is the Pack a Day podcast.

What's going on, Packer fans? Happy Wednesday. Welcome back to an all new episode of the Packaday podcast. I'm your host, Andy Herman. You can follow me on Twitter at Andy Herman NFL. Thanks so much for being here today. I'm joined once again by my good friend Sam Monson. You can follow him on Twitter at PFF underscore Sam. He is the lead PFF NFL analyst. You can also find him as the co-host of the

PFF NFL pod. Sam, great to have you back. How the heck are you doing? Doing well. How about you?

I am doing great as well, although not quite as great. Coming off a little bit of a disjointed Packers

loss at the hands of the Las Vegas Raiders. You know, that line of like when you see the Vegas line and it seems fishy that it probably is fishy. That was one going in where it was Raiders minus two. And I think, I don't know, maybe from your side of things, maybe from the outside looking in, it made a little bit more sense. But I think a lot of Packer fans were like, really Raiders minus two. and then, you know, if it's fishy, it probably is fishy. And this one was fishy. And it exactly was that. Raiders get the win. Yeah, I mean, Vegas, the odds makers had it correct, right? But I kind of agree with you. It felt like a game that Green Bay should have won going into it. And even during the game, it felt like a game that, you know,

eventually something's going to click and the Packers will ease away or show that they're

the better team because, you know, the Raiders aren't good.

Like, we had some, you know, optimism about Green Bay earlier in the season.

And I think, I feel like that was a game that did get away, even if it ended up proving the odds makers right. It did. It's the second one, probably now too, because Atlanta, you had the one where they had the 12-point lead going into the fourth quarter on the road. That one gets away. This one felt like it got away to even, you know, Josh McDaniels did everything he could with his fourth down decision instead of going for one yard against his Packers defense,

kicks the field goal, doings off the upright, and it just felt like, man, somehow they're going to find a way to get away with it. And alas, that was not the case. So just a disjointed game from, I think, both teams not great from the Raiders either, but unfortunately a little bit worse from the Packer side of things.

Let's just start there. This has been more of a struggle lately for Green Bay. As you said, there's a little bit of optimism early. They look good against the Bears. Yes, it's the Bears, but they look good against the Bears. They look good for three quarters against the Falcons and then blow it. they look terrible for three quarters against the Saints,

but then win it,

sort of the reverse of those two.

Then the lines get the better of them.

They lose to the Raiders. against the Falcons and then blow it. They look terrible for three quarters against the Saints, but then win it, sort of the reverse of those two.

Then the lines get the better of them.

They lose to the Raiders.

What have we learned about this Packers team through five weeks now?

Yeah, I think they're still as a team kind of trying to get things together, particularly

on the offensive side of the ball.

I think the defense is its own thing, and on the offensive side of the ball. I think the defense is
