As disappointing as the last two weeks have been, it\u2019s worth remembering just how close to undefeated the Packers actually are. You could change as few as two plays (the blocked field goal against the Browns and the blocked PAT against the Cowboys) and dramatically alter the Packers\u2019 record.<\/p>\n
The point is, they still have the makings of a very good team. I won\u2019t go so far as to say they are a good team \u2014 or that they\u2019re a bad team, for that matter \u2014 but they could become one if they sort out a few of their issues and continue to maximize what\u2019s going well for them so far.<\/p>\n

And there are things going well! Micah Parsons has been exactly as advertised, and it\u2019s possible that he could be even more dangerous as Jeff Hafley continues to explore different ways to use him. The offense, too, has had plenty of excellent moments, and I think everyone would agree that unit is far from a finished product. Two preferred starters on the offensive line are still out, as are Jayden Reed and Christian Watson. That\u2019s quite a bit of talent still to be added back into the lineup, and quite a lot of potential that could still be unlocked.<\/p>\n
There is still a lot of growth possible for this Packers team. Yes, the last two weeks have been disappointing. There\u2019s no way to spin it otherwise. But nobody\u2019s giving out trophies in September. The Packers just have to keep growing.<\/p>\n
