Fifteen games down, one to go, and we’ll have three weeks in the books with 15 more weeks of the regular season to go \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 There’s been a lot of hand-wringing over the state of the Packers through three weeks. And, really, it can be instructive to look at last year for guidance on where all this is going. In 2021, Green Bay opened with a weird blowout loss to the Saints in Jacksonville (New Orleans had been displaced by Hurricane Ida), then rolled over the Lions before squeaking past the 49ers in Week 3. This year, the Packers opened with a convincing loss to the Vikings, rolled over the Bears in Week 2 and squeaked past the Buccaneers on Sunday.<\/p>\n

So what gives? I think it’s at the point now where the Packers can, quietly, use the early parts of the season to work out the kinks, and build depth. I wrote in The MMQB this morning how the 14\u201312 win in Tampa, in many ways, should be good for the team, in that it had to find a way to get that win a different way. And so it was that De’Vondre Campbell made the big play on the two-pointer to close out the Buccaneers.<\/p>\n
