The Packers Avoid Their NIGHTMARE...

New episode of The Daily Cheese, your news update for Green Bay Packers fans! Brought to you by The Packer Project and Packers: DERAILED. Follow me on X at @JJLahey. For more in-depth analysis, make sure you’re subscribed to YouTube.com/@PackerProject Packers fans remember exactly what happens when the NFL puts games in the hands of replacement refs. Today, I’m talking about why the NFL’s new seven-year agreement with the NFL Referees Association is genuinely good news for Green Bay, and yes, that means we have to talk about the Fail Mary. I also break down the Packers’ two new waiver claims: tight end Luke Lachey from the Texans and cornerback M.J. Devonshire from the Bills. I really liked Lachey coming out of Iowa, and I think he has a real chance to be an interesting Packers fit if he can get his blocking back to where it needs to be. Plus, Rasul Douglas called Green Bay “home,” and there may be at least some reason for Packers fans to keep an eye on a possible reunion. Nothing confirmed, but definitely worth discussing. And finally, the full 2026 NFL schedule drops tomorrow night, with Packers-Bears rumors already floating around as schedule leak season heats up.
