I’m going to be honest. The Packers were never very good.
They proved that during an entire season in which they constantly tripped over themselves by finding ways to lose.
That story repeated itself on Sunday night as the Lions upset the Packers 20-16 at Lambeau Field to close the book on Green Bay’s potential four-year playoff streak.
Despite how bad this season has gone, despite losing five games in a row and despite being ranked 26th in rushing yards per game allowed at 139.5, this team found itself one win from the postseason Promised Land.
