The Green Bay Packers had a great season last year. Aaron Rodgers led the franchise to the best record in the NFC. Furthermore, they were able to reach the NFC championship game.
However, that is where the wheels fell off. The Packers encountered an indomitable Tampa Bay Buccaneers outfit and failed to overcome the obstacle that was Tom Brady. But one analyst believes they will be back next season.
NFL analyst Mike Tannenbaum spoke on ESPN and declared that the Green Bay Packers are be the biggest threats to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next season.

He pointed to their season last year and how well they played. Furthermore, they were only a few decisions away from reaching the Super Bowl this season. So there is a strong foundation already in Green Bay.
“The Green Bay Packers. Let’s go back to the (NFC) championship game. That game was nip and tuck all the way through. A handful of plays and we could be talking about the Packers as World Champions.
“They re-signed Aaron Jones. That’s critical. He’s dynamic out of the backfield. AJ Dillon, last year’s 2nd-round pick, between the tackle runner, great compliment to one another.”

Tannenbaum added that the Packers have been able to retain several key players. Additionally, the players that they did lose, and the positions that need to be strengthened will be filled with the influx of players from the draft.
The Packers have a good offense that can only get better next season, and they will be a major threat to Tampa Bay.
“We got to give them credit. David Bakhtiari, Aaron Jones, they extended Davante Adams. They lost Corey Linsley, but Elton Jenkins is going to be a competent center.
