A Lot On The Line

With Aaron Rodgers back in house, his reworked deal puts the pressure on the team to succeed this year. Not only do they have to win it all, but they also need to make sure they have their next quarterback ready to go. Is Jordan Love that guy or is the pressure on Rodgers to win before their rebuild even stronger.

Late Bye Week

The Packers will be a mixed bag when it comes to start the season. There’s a lot of winnable games, but they better hope they stay healthy. With only 5 games post-bye week they’ll need to be in it for the long haul. Protecting their health this season could be the make-or-break point.

Real Challenges

The Packers will face real challenges in teams like the Chiefs, Cardinals, Seahawks, and Rams. Those are the games to highlight at minimum. Throw in the Ravens and their division rivals and this season will preview their postseason multiple times. If they stumble at all they’ll have plenty to review if they make the postseason. Realistically they have a good shot to make the postseason but there’s a good chance that’s as far as they’ll make it.
