Summary
The Packers find themselves in a position they never should have been in. After a brutal loss to the Bears that saw both Jordan Love and Malik Willis leave with injuries, Green Bay's playoff hopes now hang by a thread. With only two offensive players grading above 70 and eleven below average on defense, this was one of the ugliest PFF performances of the season—and it came at the worst possible time.
Ryan dives deep into the film, calling out the offensive line struggles that continue to plague this team, particularly Aaron Banks' dismal 45 overall grade. The defense wasn't any better, with zero players earning a 70 or higher in coverage. Meanwhile, Rashan Gary led the team with four pressures while Lucas Van Ness showed promise with a 17.6% pressure rate. The only silver lining? The Lions' playoff probability has plummeted to 6%, needing the Packers to completely collapse while they win out.
Looking ahead to a crucial Week 17 matchup against Baltimore, both teams face serious quarterback uncertainty as Lamar Jackson deals with a significant back contusion. The path to the playoffs is simple: win one game. The question is whether this battered team can rise to the occasion.

| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to the Packernet podcast. |
| 0:12.8 | I am your host and resident panelist, as always Ryan Schlipp. |
| 0:15.8 | Check us out online, packernet.com. |
| 0:18.9 | Find me on Twitter, pack underscore. So I think today we're just going to |
| 0:24.8 | stick to the regular scheduled programming. It's usually on a Tuesday anyways when we do the |
| 0:33.9 | PFF day. We do have some news and notes, some pretty serious news and notes that we're |
| 0:39.1 | going to have to cover. You know, I don't think, and again, you can call it Cope if you want, |
| 0:47.8 | I don't really care, but I don't think there would have been too much debate that if |
| 0:52.9 | things had been different with the |
| 0:54.4 | injuries and whatnot, not that every team isn't somewhat injured, but when you start talking |
| 1:00.4 | about Micah Parsons and Tucker Kraft and Jordan Love, you know, we shouldn't have to be in this |
| 1:08.5 | position. And that works in both directions, because on one hand, we shouldn't have to be in this position. |
| 1:12.8 | And that works in both directions, |
| 1:14.5 | because on one hand, |
| 1:16.3 | we shouldn't have to be in this position to where had things been different, |
| 1:21.3 | we would have already locked up the playoffs. |
| 1:25.4 | We'd probably be number one in the division, |
| 1:26.8 | locked up the playoffs, the whole nine yards. |
| 1:29.5 | The question, though, is given that, looking forward, a question we shouldn't have to answer, we're going to have to ask, or we shouldn't have to ask, we're going to have to ask. |
| 1:46.3 | Which is, can we do it? |
| 1:48.8 | Can we, can we essentially win one game, which is really all we're being asked to do at this point? |
| 1:57.2 | We need to win a game. |
