    Jason Wilde on LaFleur’s Costly Decision, Packers O-Line Disaster & Blowing Another Lead

    Jason Wilde joins Kyle & Brust to break down another brutal Packers collapse and whether there’s any reason to believe the offensive line can recover. Wilde explains why Sunday was a perfect storm of injuries, inexperience and Brian Flores’ pressure scheme, but admits the performance simply wasn’t good enough as Jordan Love spent much of the afternoon under siege. Wilde also takes issue with Matt LaFleur taking points off the board to go for it on fourth-and-one, calling the failed Jordan Love sneak a massive turning point after Green Bay had taken control of the game. With the Packers now outscored 87-15 in the fourth quarter and overtime during their six-game losing streak, Wilde explains why no lead is going to feel safe until this team proves it can actually finish one. Plus, he reacts to LaFleur calling the Packers’ inability to finish games a media “topic of conversation” after it was a major theme of Green Bay’s entire offseason.
