Craig Carton took aim at Lil Wayne’s faith in Jordan Love’s Packers’ Super Bowl chances after another offensive letdown. Following the 10-7 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, the radio host dismissed any talk of a postseason run.

Carton discussed Green Bay’s situation on his podcast on Tuesday. The episode included a direct message to Lil Wayne, a longtime Packers superfan.

"I apologize to my man, Lil Wayne, who I know is a die-hard Packer fan, still thinks that they can win a Super Bowl this year," Carton said, via "The Craig Carton Show." "Not happening. Not happening, kid. And I look, just think about the Packers. Three losses. The Green Bay Packers lost to the Cleveland Browns 13 to 10. All right.

"The Green Bay Packers lost to the Carolina Panthers 16 to 13. And then last night after the indignity of losing at home to the Carolina Panthers and you have the Eagles off of bi-week. In your building. And you're looking to stay on top of the division. And what do they do? They scored seven points and lost 10 to seven, so their defense is not the problem."

Green Bay (5-3) is third in the NFC North and far from playoff form. Carton maintained that the team still has enough talent to recover but stressed that its level of play doesn’t reflect that.

Craig Carton emphasized on Tuesday that something fundamental is wrong with the Packers’ attack despite Matt LaFleur’s reputation as an offensive strategist.

"There's something wrong," Carton said, via "The Craig Carton Show." "There's something wrong with the Green Bay Packers offense and Matt Lefleur hasn't changed. He's a great coordinator and offensive mind, and I'm starting to look at Jordan Love a lot differently.
"Now you have to, and I'm not, I know they've young, wide receivers. I know they've got a little bit of the injury bug there as well, but Josh Jacobs is legit. And I'm looking around going, when's Jordan Love gonna throw the ball down the field."

Statistically, Jordan Love has struggled with consistency. He completed 20 of 36 passes for 176 yards with no touchdowns against Philadelphia. Two fumbles, including a costly one near the end of the first half, further stalled Green Bay’s drives. It also highlighted how timing and execution remain out of sync.

Carton added that the Packers have been spared from the bottom of the division only because of the Vikings’ struggles with J.J. McCarthy.

He called the Week 11 matchup against the Giants a “get-right game.” Carton said it’s the team’s chance to prove whether Lil Wayne’s faith in Green Bay has any hope left.
