With a 19-0 loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Green Bay Packers finished the 2021 preseason with a 0-3 record, their first winless exhibition slate since 1987. Wins and losses in the preseason aren’t how you would think head coach Matt LaFleur measures the success of the summer, though.
The only projected starters who saw playing time against the Bills were rookie center Josh Meyers and rookie guard Royce Newman. LaFleur’s Rams-like mentality of treating the preseason like a bubble-wrapped junior varsity game to test the depth of his roster is a continued trend through Year 3 of his time in Green Bay.
