Then, the guys take a look at where Green Bay stands in a wild NFC Playoff picture.  Is this team a true contender?  The next few weeks may very well provide us with the clarity we need to answer that question. And speaking of the next few weeks, the Packers prepare to face their biggest rivals, the Chicago Bears, twice in the next 3 games.  Have we forgotten the comments Ben Johnson made about Matt LaFleur? Definitely not and we have a feeling that Matt hasn’t forgotten either.

The Packers lay an egg vs the Eagles.  On the latest episode of The Tundra brought to you by Nicolet Law, Matt Schneidman and John Kuhn discuss an ugly 10-7 loss for Green Bay including major problems on the offensive line, a series of self-inflicted mistakes and a blown-up 4th down play at the worst possible moment. Then, the guys discuss the status of Head Coach Matt LaFleur.  Is he coaching for his job?  How much is he actually to blame?  And is not having players like Jaylen Reed and Tucker Kraft a reasonable excuse for the struggles on offense? And finally, we’ll turn the page on Monday Night Football and start looking ahead to Green Bay’s next game against another NFC foe, the 2-8 New York Giants.  Their Head Coach has been fired, their star RB is out, their star WR is out and their rising star QB has a concussion.  This has to be a get-right game for the Packers, right?  RIGHT???
