The Green Bay Packers had a great season last year. Aaron Rodgers led the franchise to the best record in the NFC. Furthermore, they were able to reach the NFC championship game.

However, that is where the wheels fell off. The Packers encountered an indomitable Tampa Bay Buccaneers outfit and failed to overcome the obstacle that was Tom Brady. But one analyst believes they will be back next season.

He pointed to their season last year and how well they played. Furthermore, they were only a few decisions away from reaching the Super Bowl this season. So there is a strong foundation already in Green Bay.

“The Green Bay Packers. Let’s go back to the (NFC) championship game. That game was nip and tuck all the way through. A handful of plays and we could be talking about the Packers as World Champions.

“They re-signed Aaron Jones. That’s critical. He’s dynamic out of the backfield. AJ Dillon, last year’s 2nd-round pick, between the tackle runner, great compliment to one another.”
