Packers 2026/27 Season Thread

for what it's worth, usa today released their draft grades, and gave the packers a b+ (about what i would give them as well), while they gave the other three teams in our division all the grade of c+.

I don’t know what to think of our draft. Grades for the Packers draft were anywhere from A- to D! It seems to me they checked the boxes and made decent picks from the six they had. B for me.

these were the individua grades from usa today:

sounds risky for a team that lost in the playoffs because of a few missed kicks.

Yo dogg, who missed the kicks in the playoffs? McManus was 3 of 7 (!) between 40-49 last year, and 3 of 5 on 50+. I got the sense ML didn't really trust him on longer FG.

i get that. and nobody was more angry about it than i was. my point is that kickers do go through a "funk" once in a while. it happened with the legendary mason crosby. but our coach at the time decided to stick with him and he came back into form and was "money" once again. how can a coach have years of patience with some players, but none at all with others?

Though that was more MM being loyal to Crosby. Also seems the new ST coach is the one who gave advice to Gute to draft Smack.

i guess we'll have to wait and see how it goes. the guys stats aren't much different from mcmanus last season. and smack has never kicked in the dead of winter in lambeau.
