The Green Bay Packers are getting better while the top teams in the NFC North face serious questions

The Packers finished a disappointing third in the NFC North last season but a brain drain in Detroit and a quarterback change in Minnesota has Green Bay right back in the mix to win the division in 2025. Where do they stand up now? And what have the other top contenders in the NFC been up to?

  1. In no way shape or form the Packers are better. It will be exact same thing as last year. No pass rush/ Drop passes/ or Love stinking it up. And fans will come back here and say the exact same thing. "Fire Gute" 😂….

    Im gonna come back to this comment in January 2026 😂

  5. I think this draft is going be huge for the Packers!!! If they don't double dip at wide reciver i will be very disappointed. I do like your mock draft but draft Jack Bech with that last pick. I think with Higgins and Bech you both use on the field. Maybe not this year but with in 2yrs i could see that team competing for a super bowl. If they dont draft at least 1 wide receiver i think they will be in trouble this year and could see them finsh in last place in the division. I think they under valuing the wide reciver position.
    GO PACK GO!!!🏈🏈🏈 0:02

  7. Bears , Lions and the Vikings all got better. We were a field goal away from being 0-6 against those teams. We need to make something happen in the draft/trade. Pass rush /CB to me is priority.

  8. No pass rush, no WR1, no true CB1 if Ja leaves. We're pulling a Jerry Jones, "we're all-in on these young guys coming up." We are counting on guys taking huge second and third year leaps and if they don't we're sunk because Guty didn't do jack-squat in free agency (and copying Jerry Jones is always a terrible idea).
    We were an 8-9 win team that got to play the AFC south last season, so the W column said 11. I guess this year we're hoping and praying to be an 8-9 win team whose division collapses around them. Sounds more like we built a mirage than a contender.

  9. it would be unbearable (no pun intended) if the Packers is the worst team in the division. I'll be pissed lol. And it's all because the Packers don't do anything in Free agency and have lots of money to spend smh.

  10. This episode looks a lot like pointing fingers but not problem solving. What did the packers do to get over the hump with these teams that they lost to? Alexander is leaving and saquon made me lose sleep since his signing (he was 2-1 vs GB before getting behind that OL), and on top of that, the eagles have adapted to key departures on their OL. Furthermore, Mark Murphy coward ssa has put a target on the packers back because he wants the tush push banned right before he leaves as the president. The draft may answer a question or 2 but the coach has to answer a lot more during this upcoming season

  11. We need big improve in Draft or maybe Packers will be last position in NFC North. And that's not dumb. But OK, if you want to think all the others are worse and Packers are better…OK. EDGE-WR-CB-DL.
