With a couple of small exceptions (some untimely penalties and some lingering small injuries) the Packers\u2019 2025 season has started about as well as it possibly could have. The Packers are 2-0, their offense is playing well, their defense is playing well, and the rest of the division already looks like it\u2019s on life support.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s only natural to ask how high the Packers could climb this year. Can they go all the way? Can they win literally every single game?<\/p>\n

Nothing is impossible, but it\u2019s worth remembering that even the best teams can stumble at the worst possible times. The 2011 Packers were a flawed juggernaut that still should have gone to the Super Bowl, but for a bad performance against a team well-suited to playing the exact style of football that could beat the Packers.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s easy to envision such a performance for this year\u2019s Packers team. Even within the NFC North, the Lions and Vikings are still respectable opponents. A wrong move against a well-equipped, well-coached team could see a Sunday end with a mark in the loss column for the Packers.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a lot of season left. How the Packers begin is no indication of how they\u2019ll finish. The best strategy is to just enjoy what they\u2019re doing now and let the rest of the season fall where it may.<\/p>\n
