It seemed like they did not prepare, or they were not aware that Brian Flores was the defensive coordinator playing in Minnesota.

And Andy, I, I'll, I'll say this, it's been a long time since I've watched a football game back and I have to watch a play over two, three times, 'cause I have no idea what they're doing.

And I had to do that so many times in this, uh, watching this film.

It was absolutely perplexing that you can not only, like, look, n- you either have to be really good at, like, technique and winning your one-v-ones, or you have to be really good at scheme.

You can't be bad at both.

And I've, I've, it's been a long time since I've seen a professional football team with as many communication and assignment errors, and just, like, lack of awareness on how we're supposed to block things, that I saw this game.

And you, you can tell that, Andy, if you, if you just watch Jordan Love's eyes, like, how many times is he surprised by the guy that's coming? It's, it, this was a-

Welcome into an all-new episode of the Packaday Podcast.

I'm your host, Andy Herman.

It is unfortunately not a victory Monday.

We waited a very long time for the first Packers game of the season just to face a ever so familiar end to a game that was once again, a complete and utter collapse, choke job, disaster, et cetera.

I think for the most part, they did really good work throughout much of the game.

I did, and I talked about this with Andy Herman on Let's Talk Football, which dropped a little bit ago, so make sure you check that out when we're done here.

I did think he went a little vanilla once Carson Wentz got in the game, and it's not like they were overwhelmed and were free guys running through the secondary, etc.

I think they did a nice job of dialing up some pressure and getting Wentz off the spot and creating a situation where Wentz never really looked comfortable until late in that fourth quarter when the Vikings were given incredible field position because of turnovers by the offense.

What's going on, Packers fans? Aaron Nagler here, joined by Andy Herman, ready to talk some football.

Is that what they played yesterday? I'm not so sure, Andy.

How you doing?

Really, really did.

Um, he's one of those guys, hearing Mike Wall talk about this too on Andy Herman's podcast just a few minutes ago, or earlier today I should say.

He said L- LVN's one of those guys, his number's probably not gonna be gaudy, but you're gonna feel his presence.

You're gonna look up every game and go, "Yeah, Van Ness is a good football player." That's a great, to me, that's a great indicator, a great sign from somebody like Mike Wall, who played offensive line at the NFL level.

The Packers have been outscored and, and, and they're throwing...

This is from Andy Herman, NFL.

They're throwing away the week 18, uh, uh, backup Clayton Tune versus Max Brosmer, Fester, McCarthy, whatever the hell the, the game was.

This is just the five games that the Packers were trying and playing starters.

Including, and this is, this is some crazy background here.

In the last six games, and, and by the way, uh, Andy Herman NFL is leaving out the, the week 18 game in which the Packers played backups against the Vikings 'cause their playoffs-

Yep
