Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Packernet podcast.

I am your host and resident fanalyst, as always, Ryan Schlipp.

Check us out online, packernet.com.

Find me on Twitter, pack underscore dat-a. Well, the goal for today is

relatively simple. We have a lot of catching up to do. We had a lot of catching up to do before.

Then I got sick. Then we had to do laughing at the lions. And so I just got to go through all these notes here and just start ripping them off one by one.

There is one other thing that I wanted to introduce and I'm going to try to stay true to this as much as I can.

Because it's the off season and because I want us to be as informed as possible with the draft, I want to do at least a little bit of draft every single episode. So if there's news to talk about, we'll talk about that, and there is a little bit, at least as far as we need to get caught up on, as far as the Packers and the draft and meetings and whatnot. If not, it could just be as simple as here's some of the mock drafts for today. Here's what people are saying.

As far as the Packers and who they think they'll draft and we'll go over those prospects and whatnot.

We'll figure it out.

But obviously, biggest news, as we discussed, the NFC North is officially out of the playoffs,

which once the Packers are out, obviously that made me very happy. The Rams weren't able to get it done against the Eagles. I really thought they had that thing in the bag. It was basically done. At least it felt that way. All the momentum was going in their direction. Two turnovers later, they lose the game, terrible weather, et cetera, et cetera. So the Eagles will advance to play the commanders.

Buffalo Bills got it done against the Baltimore Ravens.

Kansas City Chiefs beat the Texans.

So we got Chiefs Bills, commanders, Eagles.

And two teams I would hate to see move on.

There's two teams I would be fine seeing move on. There's two teams I would be fine seeing move on.

And so Rams bills would be great. I'm expecting Chiefs Eagles is what I'm expecting the Super Bowl to be.

But there you go. There is our, at the end of the day, though, I'll get over it. You know, if the Eagles and Chiefs move on and either the Chiefs or the Eagles win, It's not my favorite thing, but there are significantly worse things in the world that could

happen, considering the circumstances.

So, bottom line is I have some minor rooting interests, but really the season's over,

and I'm just waiting for everybody else to acknowledge it.
