Packers General Manager Doubles Down on Lofty Goals After Disappointing Season
GM Brian Gutekunst emphasized improving game finishes and conducting a roster review after a 2025 season marked by injuries and a late playoff loss to the Bears.
- On Wednesday, Green Bay general manager Brian Gutekunst spoke to reporters after the season ended, citing a gut-wrenching 31-27 wild-card loss to the Chicago Bears after leading by five entering the fourth quarter.
- Behind the scenes, the roster's injury toll and blown leads explain the late slide, as Gutekunst said finishing games was a clear shortcoming for 2026.
- During the lengthy press conference, Gutekunst reviewed coaching impressions and roster specialists, expressing faith in Rich Bisaccia and noting `He made 32 straight kicks up until that game, right?` about Brandon McManus's injury and playoff struggles.
- Gutekunst endorsed the LaFleur extension and leadership continuity, with Ed Policy's decision keeping the front-office triad intact, including Russ Ball, despite recent postseason losses.
- Looking toward 2026, Gutekunst said the organization will evaluate 2025 during the offseason and that `2026 will be a different team. But the expectations won't change.
