Bad Day: The Packers Inexplicably Lose To The Panthers At Home And Now Tucker Kraft Is Feared To Have Torn His ACL

The NFL is so confusing, man. As recent as last Sunday night, 5-1-1 Green Bay out-classed the Steelers on the road. Today that Steelers team beats the brakes off the Colts and dominated for a full 60 minutes. Meanwhile today, the Packers lose at home to Carolina 16-13. 

Flat out embarrassing effort all around. LaFleur was terrible. His obsession with trying to balance out the run while also forcing these lateral movement plays at the LOS is terrible. Dude ruins drives. I truly believe they'd be better off with someone else calling plays. The 3rd and 3 play where they lost 5 and set up a 4th and 8 was atrocious. That was another beauty of a play design. Just kick dude. 

 Love also played his worst game of the season. The decision making wasn't sharp. Still don't know what he was doing here. 

McManus missed another kick. Dowdle ran down this defense's throat all game. Oh and Tucker Kraft left on a cart with a leg injury. 

The loss sucks, but at the end of the day that's the NFL. Weird shit happens on any given Sunday. Losing Tucker Kraft for the year, however, is devastating. Kraft became the number 1 option for this offense and arguably had transformed into the best receiving tight end in the game. Losing him is a haymaker to the Packers chances of going deep into January. This sucks. 

The NFC North is now completely wide open after the GB and Detroit losses. Both Chicago and Minnesota win. It's really anyone's race with these teams playing each other a bunch the rest of the season.

Never wear these fucking jerseys again.
