The 2025 season is over. The Seattle Seahawks captured the ultimate prize. How close are the Packers to winning it all in 2026?<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the only question that matters for this iteration of the Packers. For the next few seasons, the Packers are leveraged to win now. They\u2019ve got a good quarterback, capable players at most other positions, and stability throughout the organization. What will it take to get the Packers over the top?<\/p>\n
A lot of Packers fans (or at least, some very loud ones) suggested this offseason that a different head coach would do the trick. That ship has sailed, and it\u2019ll be on Matt LaFleur to get the Packers to the big dance and into the proverbial end zone.<\/p>\n
Can he do it? It\u2019ll depend on the second big pillar of Packers success: injury luck. The Packers had a pretty rough go of things in 2025, and there\u2019s no guarantee things will be any better in 2026 .But you have to hink some improvement on that front would at least leave the Packers a little better equipped to make a run than they were this year.<\/p>\n
So can they do it? It\u2019s certainly possible. The Packers will enter next season as one of the few teams who can consider themselves legitimate contenders by virtue of the fact that they have a capable quarterback. The rest will take some doing, but there\u2019s no reason to think the Packers can\u2019t get it done.<\/p>\n
A lot of what the Packers need for 2026 just boils down to hoping for the best, but this is a good list, too.<\/p>\n
Brian Gutekunst is bullish on Josh Jacobs\u2019 future, but his 2025 left a lot to be desired.<\/p>\n
The Seahawks are Super Bowl champs. What can the Packers steal from their model?<\/p>\n
The Packers\u2019 offensive line is going to turn over a lot this offseason, and the linchpin of that movement might be Jordan Morgan.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s funny that the Steelers and Packers both have had just three coaches since 2002, but one guy represents one of those three for both teams.<\/p>\n
This is the rate my children expect me to fold paper airplanes when we make them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2025 season is over.
