00:00All right, we have been getting some panic meter check-ins for the people.
00:07We're going to hit Jags, Browns, and then Jets, Titans in a moment.
00:10But I also do want to do the Packers panic meter because this is, I think, the most unique
00:15of this group, where in week number one, that loss to the Eagles, I think people were probably
00:20no panic.
00:21It was fine, right?
00:22I'm not as high on that defense, which is, I think, kind of lends itself to where I land
00:27on this team.
00:28Again, on a scale of calm, concern, worry, panic, I'm worried about the Green Bay Packers
00:35because I don't feel like we have a clear idea of when Jordan Love is coming back.
00:39I think they're holding out hope, which is why they don't want to put him on IR, that
00:42he can return before the four-week window, though I don't think that's very likely just
00:46based on the reports that we've heard so far.
00:49And what that means is Malik Willis this week, and since there's no solution in the room
00:54other than Malik Willis next week, and not that good of a defense, I think the NFC is
01:00going to have a lot of teams flying for playoff spots.
01:02You guys know I'm in on the Chicago Bears.
01:04I think the Detroit Lions have a very high floor, so you very well could finish third
01:08in that division, which is where I already projected them.
01:10Now with Malik Willis starting, I am worried about the Green Bay Packers blowing their
01:15chance to make the playoffs with the Jordan Love absence.
01:17Yeah, I understand that.
01:19This is the one team absolutely out of the group that I'm actually the calmest on, and
01:23the reason why I say that is I'm not so certain that Jordan Love is going to miss eight games.
01:28I think he'll miss maybe four, and I think that'll still give them an opportunity to
01:33potentially challenge for a division title, and more importantly, a wild card, Donnie.
01:37Again, not only that, but in the division, Sam Darnold had a good performance against
01:42the New York Giants, but we're not expecting Sam Darnold to just light it up in regards
01:46to multiple games, so that's where I think Green Bay potentially could clip Minnesota
01:51in one of the meetings.
01:52And then Caleb Williams being a rookie, right?
01:55So when you just look at it from that perspective, and I'm a buyer of Matt LaFleur as head coach,
01:59great game planner, you have a competent rushing attack with Josh Jacobs and Jaden Reed that
02:04they utilize, I think they'll be okay, where they can at least be 500, maybe heading into
02:09Jordan Love's return at the very worst, if not a couple of games over, and that's why
02:14I'm not as fearful in regards to Green Bay big picture.
