NFL analyst Mina Kimes shares her thoughts on the Packers' 2025 season
On Friday, Mina Kimes opened up her thoughts on the Packers' performance after five games this season. She believes that Matt LaFleur and his team have the potential to be better than what they have showcased on the gridiron.
She compared the team to Hollywood actress Rachel Leigh Cook's role in the movie 'She's All That.'
"I want to put the Packers so much higher than everyone else has them," Kimes said on her show. "You've seen 'She's All That' with Rachel Leigh Cook? ... The joke around that movie is like, she was obviously like hot like the whole time. She was just wearing glasses. "The Green Bay Packers have the hottest girl in the world inside of them. And I'm just like 'Take off you damn glasses, Green Bay. You're so hot.' They have everything required, I really think to be the best team in the NFL. There's these like frustrating drives that make no sense. I would say penalties are a lot common problem. Or just like weird little execution lapses. Which is odd to because they are really well coached. "And the defense kind of falls apart at the end of games and it doesn't really make sense. ... I find them right now to be a very frustrating team because I feel like they should be so much better than they are.Matt LaFleur and his team face the Cardinals on Sunday at 4:25 pm ET.
