This episode we're gonna go over the offense, defense, take news.
We're gonna talk about, uh, Jonathan Gannon, his defense, and you know, how are we feeling about it.
You know, we're what, six games through the season.
You know, I think we had some differing expectations when the hire occurred, and I think most of us are happily pleased with how it's looked.
But starting things off, offense, pretty, I mean, fine enough.
Again, red zone woes, drop woes.
That, that's gonna happen.
Again, still leading the league in drops, the Green Bay Packers, but still putting up 23 points.
Packers had, uh, four first downs on third downs on the first drive.
They had four against Chicago total, so it just kinda shows you that the third down offense was a lot better, uh, in this game.
In the first half I believe we were nine for 10 on first down, and then overall in the game we finished like 11 for 18 or something, so-
Mm-hmm
... first half very good when it mattered, I guess.
Second half, you know, eh, could've, could've been a little bit better there.
Um- But yeah, and just like we've been saying too, we are ex- you know, this team on offense, we're explosive in the pass game, and we are one of the worst running teams in NFL history.
Here's a stat, here's a stat on that.
Let's hear it.
The Green Bay Packers in 2026 are the only team in the NFL [laughs] r- currently, and only three times this has happened, for a winning team to not have a rusher with over 50 yards.
The other-
Geez
...
the other two teams are the 1935 Green Bay Packers and the 19-
Oh, yeah
... and the 1941 Green Bay Packers.
