This may age like milk as soon as Sunday, but why on earth am I seeing so much Packer love lately? I know it's GB and this happens every year but man the Packer hype is overboard.

No idea if this tweet^ will properly post since this is Vikefans, but some FOX analyst has them ranked 4th, a spot ahead of Buffalo and 5 ahead of Detroit. Bias aside what am I missing here?
They're offense was trash last year and the offensive line got worse. I think they're catching Detroit at a good time (new coordinators on both sides) so maybe they win this week and do it convincingly and I'm just wrong, but the momentum they have right now hasn't been earned in my opinion. Let's see if they can earn it now. Let the games begin!

They're obviously better with Micah Parsons, but the hype was ridiculous even before that. They were a blocked field goal from going 0-6 against the division last year. Jordan Love can be good but sometimes very bad. I like the receiver they drafted, but their OL is arguably worse this year. Their 1st round tackle from 2024 looks like a total bust. Still isn't starting. And their cornerbacks are a big question mark after losing Jaire. It's league average at best. Our corners are better than theirs and that says a lot.

They (media) hitched their train to Jordan Love and in reality, so did the organization. Lots of sweat equity in this kid already and its 50/50 on this guy, not ideal. The NFCN is a beast and they should have gone 0-6. The deep divers in the media see his issues and weaknesses. But Micah Parsons is going to make a difference. I hate this trade because I think its going to really help them. Would love this to be a 'Where Sticky Was Wrong' segment a year from now.

Ha, yeah. Like MB said the hype began long before Parsons. He's a great player and I'm sad they got him but it's not like they're loaded with Micah Parsonses. Thankfully he's just one (insanely talented) guy. My questions are moreso around the rest of their team.

Parsons is a HUGE get...
But yah, their future fortunes will be far more influenced by what Love does (or doesnt)
I'm not seeing greatness at the QB position tbh...
Maybe good on a given Sunday, but like Wet says; he's going on yr5 now.

Pack drafted extremely well along both lines for a few years recently. They will be good, but will not be great with Love as their QB

Pretty hard to argue they've drafted extremely well when they're 2024 1st rounder, Jordan Morgan, was benched his rookie season, is not in line to start this year and is already being labeled a bust by many.
