Today it was reported that two more Packers entered the Covid health protocol. Mercedes Lewis and Oren Burks are the eleventh and twelfth Packer players in the virus protocol. The number of players keeps growing and we are just two weeks away from the playoffs. This shows how important getting the number one seed is for Green Bay. The number one seed comes with a first round bye. Nobody really knows if Green Bay will make the Super Bowl, but if they do, who knows if they will have enough players to play in it.
Now that Covid is picking up everywhere, every organization in the NFL has to deal with this issue too. The Super Bowl champion will have defiantly earned it this year. Brian Gutekunst should win the Executive of the Year, with all of the obstacles he has had to overcome this year. The list keeps growing every day. David Bakhtiari has not played a single snap. Jaire Alexander has missed most of the season. Kevin King has been in and out of games, and all the players out, because of Covid.
As the season winds down, people are calling us the favorite to win the Super Bowl. Green Bay still has to go out and prove them right. Up to this point, I also have us winning the Super Bowl. I am still very confidant in the Packers even with all the issues this year. It will be interesting though, if the teams in the playoffs can finish without any players in the Covid virus protocol.
Go Pack Go!!
