The Packers are already two and a half games behind the lead in the NFC North
The Green Bay Packers had the opportunity to be self aware and decide their future in the offseason. They thought the roster was good enough to compete with some adds, so they gave Aaron Rodgers a big contract extension and kept most of their defensive free agents. Their plan, though, was clearly flawed.
The lack of offensive weapons has been costly, and Rodgers getting closer to his 39th birthday doesn't help. Thinking critically, the Packers were always going to regress after trading Davante Adams, and there was little room for this roster to get better, especially considering how unpredictable and volatile defenses are in the league.
