Unlocking the Hidden Secret That Could Change Everything You Know

So, here’s the real kicker about the Green Bay Packers this season—one week they’re schooling the league’s elite, and the next, they’re giving up ground to teams fans swear they’ve never heard of. It’s like watching a magic trick where the rabbit sometimes just refuses to come out of the hat . . . frustrating, confusing, and honestly, a bit maddening. The thing that really gets me, though, is their stubborn loyalty to a running game that’s about as productive as a screen door on a submarine. Former Packers lineman Michael Wahle didn’t mince words, calling out what he calls an “execution problem” — and with an All-Pro back like Josh Jacobs hanging around, you gotta wonder: why aren’t they fixing the basics first? If you ask me, the Packers either need to shake up their game plan or sharpen their technique—probably both—before their inconsistent act turns into a full-on circus that even the most diehard fans can’t laugh off.

The Green Bay Packers have been up and down this season.

They dominate some of the best teams in the league, but lose to some of the worst, so fans never know what version they’re going to get week by week.

Perhaps the most infuriating part of watching them is the fact that they continue to commit to the running game, even though it’s not working.

With that in mind, former Packers offensive lineman Michael Wahle urged the team to clean things up.

“Packers have an execution problem. Josh Jacobs is averaging a tick under 67 ypg at 3.8 ypc. Team has an All-Pro running back; fix techniques up front, get your yardage back. Simple isn’t sexy and it isn’t easy, but it’s where the focus needs to be,” Wahle wrote on X.

Granted, some of the Packers’ run-blocking issues have to do with linemen Aaron Banks and Zach Tom missing time with injury earlier in the season, but it hasn’t been much better with them back on the field.

So, they need to change their scheme or execute better, or both.

Jacobs is getting hit behind the line of scrimmage, and even though he can still get some yards, that’s more a testament to his ability than anything else.

On the other hand, if the Packers aren’t getting it done on the ground, head coach Matt LaFleur should trust his quarterback to make plays.

Instead, he has Jordan Love throwing screen passes.

The Packers have the second half of the season to improve before their failings come back to haunt them again when it matters most.
