These are legit problems that the Packers faced this season and should address in the future. But isn’t the Packers main problem injuries?

If the Packers don’t play significant parts of the season without Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews, Casey Hayward, Randall Cobb, Jermichael Finley and Bryan Bulaga, wouldn’t a lot of these other issues be covered up?

If Eddie Lacy, Sam Shields, James Jones, Nick Perry, Evan Dietrich-Smith and Robert Francois don’t miss all or parts of multiple games, would the Packers be on the same level as San Francisco and Seattle?

I think they would be. And that’s not making excuses or being blind to the fact that a few things around 1265 Lombardi Ave. could be done differently. It’s hard to be elite when you play without your best offensive player, best defensive player, your starting left tackle, your top tight end, one of your best wide receivers and a really good special teams player for most of the season.

If the Packers choose to only fix one problem area on this team during the offseason, it needs to be their constant injury issues. That’s the issue that’s really keeping the Packers from being great.

This is a misleading picture in a couple of ways. The Packers could have survived all of those injuries and still had a record as good as anybody except for one injury - THE ONE - Aaron Rodgers. The other fact made abundantly clear by the loss of Rodgers was the glaring weaknesses the team has even if you disregard the other injuries. I refer to the O-Line and pretty much the whole defense other than Matthews, Shields, and maybe Tramon Williams. For anybody that claims the O-Line is not a weakness, the evidence of that is the horrendous pass rush - which Aaron Rodgers excelled in spite of, and which the other QBs were victimized by, and the virtual inability to run outside and even inside if the other team's D expected it.

So are the Packers on a par with the "elites"? With Rodgers, YES; Without Rodgers, not even close.
