The Media Wants the Packers Dead and I'm Not Having It

Every offseason, like clockwork, someone swoops in to tell Pack Nation the sky is falling — and this year, NFL writer Mike Tannier stepped up to the plate with a Substack piece calling the Packers' offseason an "unmitigated disaster." Ryan isn't having it, and he goes line by line to dismantle the whole thing. Javon Hargrave "injury prone"? Ryan digs into the snap counts and shows this label is completely fabricated — Hargrave was let go for cap reasons, the 49ers tried to re-sign him, and he bounced back with a strong 2025 campaign in Minnesota Sky Moore a "special teams disaster"? Two muffed punts on 67 total returns, and Tannier offers zero elaboration — Ryan unpacks what the actual concern might be and why it doesn't hold up Losing Malik Willis and Jeff Hafley — Ryan acknowledges these are real losses, but explains why neither rises to "disaster" level, and why replacing Malik is literally impossible for any team, let alone one working within a budget The bigger pattern — Ryan dusts off the "Jordan Love is going to be a predictable disaster" clips from 2023 and makes the case that this anti-Packers media narrative repeats itself every single year, always wrong, never accountable If you're tired of the noise and want someone to actually break down the facts, this is your episode.
