Summary
The PFF grades tell a surprising story: Clayton Tune graded as the lowest offensive player despite looking solid on film, while Anthony Belton turned in his best performance of the season with an 84 pass blocking grade at right guard. On defense, Trevon Diggs led the way with an 81.5 grade, offering hope for his future in Green Bay. Plus, Daniel Whelan absolutely dominated with five punts inside the 20.
Ryan also takes aim at Bears head coach Ben Johnson for his tone-deaf comments about "not sitting starters," breaking down exactly why that take is complete nonsense. With the playoff matchup against Chicago looming, it's time to turn the page and get locked in.

| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to the Packernet Podcast. I am your host and |

| 0:22.9 | Well, today is PFF Day. I'm going to try to get us there. I don't see why we shouldn't |
| 0:27.7 | be able to. But there is quite a bit of news and notes going on. The biggest thing right now |
| 0:33.7 | would be this sort of Black Friday cloud that is over the NFL as everybody is out there |
| 0:41.1 | just getting fired left and right. Cardinals have fired coach Jonathan Gannon, the Raiders fired |
| 0:47.9 | Pete Carroll, the Browns fired Kevin Stefansky. And so here is a couple things on this is in regard to the Green Bay Packers. |
| 1:01.8 | Number one, for everybody that wants Lefleur gone, understand, first of all, the odds of getting |
| 1:09.1 | that elite coach, if he's out there, if there is a guy that is this great coach that can fix everything and do all the things that we want to happen, if he exists, you're in competition with teams that are already out there doing interviews while you're focused on football games. |
| 1:31.9 | There are rules to who can be interviewed right now. The Packers coaching staff clearly cannot because |
| 1:37.4 | they're busy doing stuff. But the other thing to consider is it'll be interesting to know |
| 1:42.4 | who, I think there's one name |
| 1:47.1 | in particular that we all think of but who if anyone on the Packers squad could potentially be |

| 1:59.1 | they want to talk to this guy and this guy and this guy. |
| 2:02.7 | When Halfley becomes available, I'm interested to see how popular his name is. And then if it is a |
| 2:11.6 | popular name, what does that actually mean? I'm starting to become a little skeptical. Just because |
| 2:16.8 | there are so many really prominent names |
| 2:19.1 | that are already being floated out there, including guys that just got fired that I think a lot |
| 2:23.1 | of other teams look at and go, I mean, he's a great coach. Your team just sucks. |
| 2:28.5 | I even saw a rumor about Bill Belichick, which I don't think is going to be a thing. |
