nice article to consider in a dry period for football

TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER -
That article tends to make me rather optimistic. The reason is that the reasons why the Packers won't win the Super Bowl aren't all that daunting:
5. Turnovers - They point out that the Packers safeties didn't have an INT last year. It's highly unlikely that will happen again, both because of better personnel and the law of averages. If the safeties grab a few, and they're getting Casey Hayward back, they could be back among the league leaders in takeaways. And if Rodgers stays healthy, they should have fewer INT's on offense.
4. Special Teams - They're not special but they don't need to be. I don't see this as a huge issue.
3. The defense - Safety play should be improved and that will make a big difference. You simply can't have a good defense with the kind of safety play they had last year. Getting Casey Hayward back should help, and if Matthews can stay mostly healthy, the pass rush with the addition of Peppers should be much better. It simply shouldn't be that difficult to improve on last year's defensive performance.
2. Injuries - Impossible to predict, but the odds that the injury situation will be better than last year are pretty good.
1. San Francisco - There's not much separating the 2 teams. Unlike 2012, the Packers were right in the 2 games they lost last year. The Packers had 4th quarter leads in both games. The Packers played all or most of the playoff game last year without Sam Shields, Mike Neal, Clay Matthews and Casey Hayward. If the 2 teams meet this year, that won't be the case.I can't run no more

I'd guess no because too many things could go wrong, but I don't wanna be right.Comment

That title pretty much sums up every football team's season. Either we make the Super Bowl or we don't.But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.
