One bold prediction for the Green Bay Packers in 2021-22: No playoffs in Green Bay
Honestly, anything we put here would be considered brazen.
It’s hard to know what to expect from the Green Bay Packers for the upcoming season. With Aaron Rodgers able to walk away from the franchise as soon as the year is over, it’s almost impossible to know whether or not they’ll dominate as they have over the past few seasons or whether they’ll fall by the wayside. For the purposes of this argument, we’ll say that they’ll go down the wrong rabbit hole.
The Packers will continue to sport a top-ten defense. They’ll also have quite possibly the best wide receiver in the game in Davante Adams. Still, although everything will be in their favor this upcoming season, with Rodgers eyeing other teams for a long-term contract, he simply won’t be fully invested on the year. And with that, the Packers will fail to make the playoffs and Rodgers will walk out the door at the end of the year with a huge grin, a pocket full of cash and a new contract from a team he truly wants to play for.
