No matter how loud we scream, or how much we cry, it is important to remember that the football gods do not care. Not this year. Not even divine intervention could save the 2022 Green Bay Packers at this point as they wander aimlessly through a sea of dead drives and endless mistakes. The Packers’ lost their fifth straight game on Sunday, marking the first occurrence of the sad feat since Aaron Rodgers’ first season as a starter in 2008. The team finished 6-10 that year.
FiveThirtyEight now gives the Packers just a 5% chance at making the playoffs, with their only viable path being a wildcard berth in the traffic jam of mediocrity that is the NFC.
