On Sunday the Packers face off against the Vikings to start the regular season at U.S. Bank Stadium. The big news going into Sunday's game is that Allen Lazard will most likely not be playing in this game. Can the Packers muster up enough offense with an unproven group of wide receivers who most in the media would say are rookies(Watson & Doubs), coming off injury riddled seasons(Watkins & Tonyan), or some might say washed up(Cobb)? Luckily for the Packers both Jenkins and Bakhtiari are listed as questionable meaning hopefully they both play in this game on Sunday. Finally we will be able to see if our defense can live up to the hype of the off-season against a quite talented Vikings offense as well. It's going to be a close battle. 

There's a lot to be hopeful about for the Packers this upcoming season including: possibly the best defense they've had since 2010, the fact that we have a healthy and deep offensive line, and the fact that we possibly have the best QB head coach combo in the NFL. But also there are a few things that I think could hold the Packers back from getting to the big stage in February including: inefficient offense because of incorrect utilization of our RBs, lack of depth at critical positions on defense, and special teams issues. 

It's crazy to think how many moves happened this season for the Packers. From the Davante Adams trade, cutting Zadarius Smith, keeping Jordan Love, the NFL Draft, the list goes on and on. How would have my decisions fared against current General Manager Brian Gutekunst? This is the question I pose today as I redo the Packers offseason. At the least, we have this to go back to whether my takes are correct or not, and we can look at this at the end of the NFL season. 

Gutekunst decides on the final 53 man roster, and decides to double down on his own guys he drafted over players who played much better in my opinion. The waiver wire at first glance seems like you can find some diamonds in the rough, but really is overrated. The Packers may have missed their last chance to really add some depth to the weaker positions on this team like edge rusher. 

Who are the Packers going to keep on this 53 man roster and who should they keep? What matters most special teams, youth, or trusted veterans? Putting together this final 53 man roster, you'll notice this is the healthiest Packers team we have had in a very long time at the end of a training camp which bodes very well for a strong start to the the 2022 season. 

There are a lot of position battles going on that will be determined in the last preseason game tonight against the Chiefs. What should you be watching for, and what should we be hoping for by the end of the night? And how will that affect the final 53 man roster moving forward. 

This could be Jordan Love's last game as a Packer on Thursday night, this preseason game could be the what he needs to stick out and be a huge trade asset next offseason. 

David Bakhtiari has been activated off the PUP which is a huge surprise. We all were nervous Bakhtiari wouldn't be ready to play until the middle of the season at best. Now with both Bakhtiari and Jenkins returning from injury early what does this mean for the rest of our offensive line? Who should start? Who should make our 53 man roster? Is there still an upgrade to be made?

The Packers have huge news as Tonyan, Jenkins, and Watson all are getting healthy and have begun practicing. This means that they could be ready by week 1. What kind of upgrade does this to each position group, and what does this mean for our offense moving forward?

Most of the media is slamming Jordan Love without even watching the game, which if they did they would understand Love played actually pretty well. Romeo Doubs is getting open constantly, but struggling with his hands a little bit which reminds me of a young Davante Adams. The Packers have 9 receivers they are excited about which 7 will make this final 53 man roster?
