The good news is the Packers are going to get much better.
The most meaningless stat that comes out during a typical NFL offseason is the “strength of schedule” ratings. They are, of course, based on the team records of the previous year. As we see time and again, not only do teams change drastically during a single offseason, but even within the season.
This year’s Green Bay Packer schedule is a good example. Prior to week one, you could look at several games and feel comfortable putting them in your anticipated win column. But now, just two weeks into the 2022 campaign, suddenly some of those “easy wins” don’t look so easy.
