Stat Reveals Worrisome Trend With Key Packers Unit

 

For years, the Green Bay Packers‘ special teams have been a talking point, and not for good reasons.

Coordinator Ray Bisaccia hasn’t done a good job turning things around, and while he’s one of Matt LaFleur’s confidants, he could be one of the first people to go if things don’t end well this season.

According to PFF, the Packers’ special teams rank 30th in the NFL after being last one year ago.

In addition, they have been among the worst in the league for most of the past decade.

“Not sure how it is possible to be this bad on special teams for this long,” Nathan Marzion wrote on X.

While most fans focus on offense and defense, a team has to perform well in all facets of the game if it wants to be taken seriously as a Super Bowl contender.

In Week 3, the Packers allowed the Cleveland Browns, who also have a struggling special teams unit, to block a kick that eventually paved the way for them to kick a game-winning field goal.

Then, in Week 4, the Dallas Cowboys returned a blocked PAT to score two points, which ultimately cost the Packers in a game they could’ve won.

It’s still early in the season, but that loss and tie could end up having huge implications in terms of playoff seeding.

That’s why this Packers unit needs to do much better after the bye week, especially if Bisaccia wants to hold on to his job.
