... than us!?!!?
We all knew coming into the 2023 season would bring ups and downs. And that it was a season to discern if Jordan Love can be the next Green Bay Packers franchise QB. I believe that question has been answered with a resounding, yes.
Imagine four months ago being told the Packers would be in the playoffs and going into 4th quarter with the lead in the NFC Divisional round? And it's against the team most labeled Super Bowl "lock" throughout the season? I would have called you a damn Packers homer.
I know our expectations were modified once we beat the Bears to get into the playoffs. And then even more so after destroying the Cowboys. But gosh, this season feels like the start of one helluva run.
I'm disappointed that the game was right there for us to take. Aaron Jones and Jordan Love on same page that 3rd and 2 pass is completed. Darnell Savage catches the would be interception and probably pick six. Keisean Nixon snagged the ball that went through his hands for interception. Jonathan Owens actually tackles George Kittle instead of being bulled off him (no shame, Kittle a monster).
I say we found our next franchise QB and I think we have a decent to good Punter with promise and I think we have solid depth at WR. The OL played fairly well and the reason for that is because they were a unit that played a ton of snaps together. I've always said the sum of the five is better than the individual pieces when it comes to OL.
We definitely need improvement at kicker and safety and kicker.
MY FEAR? Aaron Rodgers said the Packers would often go too young missed the value of veteran leadership with the likes of Charles Woodson or Julius Peppers. I hope we have guys like Aaron Jones and Preston Smith in 2024 because I think that veteran leadership really helps out a lot.
As a Green Bay Packers fan. I just can't think of any franchise that has it better than us. It's time to be excited about 2024 and beyond because our future is bright!
