The Green Bay Packers have everything they need to be a Super Bowl contender.
They have talent on both sides of the ball, a good offensive mind leading the way, and a strong defensive coordinator.
What they don’t have, however, is consistency.
That, according to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, could be their downfall.
He correctly points out that Green Bay has struggled in two road games, and that might cost them when it matters most.
“I think if you’re the Green Bay Packers right now, I think you’re disappointed. Last I checked, a couple of weeks ago, we got their offensive lineman talking about unbeaten season. They lose at Cleveland, a game they shouldn’t have lost. Everybody thought they were gonna boat race the Dallas Cowboys. Micah [Parsons] would have multiple sacks. They would just have their way, and they didn’t. This team, at times, has looked dominant, but they still haven’t won a road game,” Schefter said.

Of course, winning and dominating at home is a must, but you also have to win on the road if you want to get to the Super Bowl.
That’s particularly true if you continue to drop games you should win and therefore don’t secure home-field advantage in the playoffs.
To be fair, the Packers would’ve defeated the Cleveland Browns 99 times out of 100, but another miscue on special teams and a head-scratching interception by Jordan Love cost them at the worst possible time.
Then, failing to defeat the Dallas Cowboys despite all their injuries was certainly worrisome.
Fortunately, the Packers will get some reinforcements back after the bye week, as their offensive line has had plenty to do with their struggles.
Nevertheless, with their recent history of shortcomings, the pressure is mounting on head coach Matt LaFleur.
He’s done a great job since he took over, but this is the storied Green Bay Packers, and a great job without a title might not be enough to keep his job.
