Packers beat writers were questioning after Green Bay’s Thursday night meltdown if the team would win another game this season. It isn’t that dramatic. It’s just been so long since the Packers were average that no one knows what it looks like. Aaron Rodgers is still playing well enough, and the defense has enough talent to win (or lose) any game. Green Bay lacks closing ability, but the ground game can keep the Pack close.
