The Packers head into a strange Week 18 with playoff seeding mostly set — and a lot of unanswered questions. Jason Wilde and Alex Strouf discuss why Jordan Love still hasn’t cleared concussion protocol, whether Green Bay is being overly cautious, and why Matt LaFleur is expected to rest starters in Minnesota. They also break down the surprise waiver claim of Trevon Diggs, the Packers’ battered secondary, what the QB plan could look like Sunday, and which playoff matchup Green Bay would rather see: the Bears or the Eagles.

ESPN’s Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy with a candid evaluation of the Packers’ biggest issues heading into a huge AFC road matchup. Wilde reacts to new data showing Rashan Gary’s poor quick-pressure numbers, noting that Kingsley Enagbare is outplaying him in key moments — and that Gary’s hefty 2025 contract could force tough offseason decisions.
Wilde also raises flags about Green Bay’s recurring injury problem, pointing to multiple players who have returned prematurely only to aggravate injuries or exit games early (Zach Tom, Lucas Van Ness, Carl Brooks, Dontayvion Wicks, Matthew Golden, Brandon McManus). He questions whether the issue lies in coaching decisions rather than the medical staff.
The crew also breaks down the Packers’ defensive depth issues without Devonte Wyatt, why pushing Lucas Van Ness inside would help but isn’t possible yet, and what the team expects from newly added 700-pound combined defensive tackles.
Additional topics include:
• Why Denver’s 11–2 record may not be as intimidating as it looks
• Why playing in Denver is always tricky — altitude, noise & environment
• The realistic danger of losing ground to Chicago before their rematch
• Why Matt LaFleur lit up when discussing Bo Melton’s growing role
• The WR rotation, Wicks’ lingering injury, and Dobbs’ disappearing production
