Unless Love shows growth then HELL NO...sorry but they just haven't...how have they????

Growth comes from many places.
The biggest question for me is If Love can stay healthy and revert to better lower-body mechanics when throwing, the Packers have a solid chance to beat every team in the NFC North if he does.
While Love is the biggest wild card, the next biggest difference is what La Fleur and Hafley are emphasising with scheme and playcalling, this year.
Tied for the third biggest difference, is continued improvement from the many young players already on the team and unknowns (due to injury) like TE Luke Musgrave and RB MarShawn Lloyd.........along with what can the new Defensive Line coach get out of the players that the previous one could not.
Fourth is who the Packers get in the draft.
Fifth (maybe this should be higher) is the WRs having stickier hands.

Love and MLF have to have a big year, another wildcard is the running back who was injured the whole year, he could prove to be pretty good running and catching the ball...no one knows about him really...

LOL....Comical....The GAP is HUGE.
Have we picked up a better FA DE pass rusher? NO
Have we picked up a better FA DL pocket pusher? NO
Have we picked up a LEGIT...#1 WR? NO
Have we picked up a good #2 WR? NO
Did we move on from the worst rated OC in the NFL? Yes.
Did we sign our, must sign Kicker who actually puts it through the uprights? Yes
We have a returner who can handle that job instead of 2 starters getting the shit knocked out of them on a return and then expected to go right to work as if nothing just happened.....We'll call it Insurance because ML is not sharp enough to have already figured that obvious issue out.
It will be a miracle if we get a #1 WR, who actually plays like it right away, because Gute will try to do that in the 2nd round as usual.
I predict either a DE in round 1 or a favorite DL who will sit a year or two...because that's what high draft picks do here.

Have you been chewing on lemons too much ? Limes ? Licking the asphalt, perhaps......

It's called the reality of being a fan of the team.....and not neccessarily of ML and a lot of Gutes methods and Tactics...when just doing the obvious...or minimum will suffice....and for you ..the minimum is exactly what every NO answer was above, because that is exactly what needs to transpire to make the GB Packers relevant in 2025 and beyond as well as JL taking a step or two forward as well as ML and his staff. It's a lot, but every team in our division is now better than the Packers. If these things are not hit on in the draft, we will be an early out if we even get to the playoffs. I'm a fan of getting the OL bigger and badder though...I think we took a step forward there and that will help both sides of the ball. A lot of work to do.

So many people think it is themselves that have nailed the reality of a thing, when it simply isn't.
You might be right, you might not, but let us not mistake AN OPINION with reality.
Don't be the team that 'wins the offseason' (how often have Minnesota and the Bears been that team),
instead, be the team that wins actual games.
