5 hardest games on the 2020 NFL schedule for the Buccaneers
By Rob Leeds
Green Bay Packers (Week 6)
The Packers are coming off of one of the worst drafts ever. Instead of giving one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL more weapons, Green Bay drafted backup players with their first two picks. This isn’t to say that the Packers didn’t have any weapons already, but a proper draft class could’ve taken them from NFC contenders to Super Bowl favorites.
Much like the Saints, the Packers have a solid defense and a good offense with stars like Davante Adams, Aaron Jones, and Aaron Rodgers. Adams is very good when healthy, Jones is one of the best running backs in the league, and Aaron Rodgers is Aaron Rodgers.
The biggest issue that Green Bay is facing comes from within. There is very clearly a massive rift forming between Rodgers and head coach Matt LeFleur as evidenced by the draft.
This power struggle could be the undoing of the Packers. LeFleur is not the right coach for Rodgers, but to be fair, there aren’t many coaches in the NFL that are a good fit for Rodgers.
If the relationship is as bad as it seems, Green Bay could be playing against themselves for the whole season. Jordan Love isn’t a viable replacement for Rodgers just yet, but this narrative will be fun to watch for non-Packers fans for the next few years as it continues to unravel.
Despite the growing feud, the Packers still have a championship-caliber team that can push forward regardless of who the coach is and whether or not the quarterback is happy. Green Bay will always be a tough battle, even if it is a home game for the Bucs.
