As you know, the Green Bay Packers had a fantastic year, ending with the Lombardi Trophy in their hands. This is what they need to do to stay in the position of Champions of The NFL.
1: They need Quarterback Aaron Rodgers to stay healthy - he has demonstrated that he is a MVP caliber quarterback who really makes the Packers great.
2: They have a lot of great young players who need to keep improving - especially the secondary that had a lot of injuries and change last year.
3: They need to work a lot on the rushing game and be able to get a good yardage when they need too. The blockers will really have the help the running back and keep him heathy. It matters because if not Aaron Rodgers will get crushed every time passing.
4: They have a great coach and i know he will always keep them going but they will need to keep evolving the offense or the defenses will start keying on Rodgers.
5: They need to not feel over confident with the game itself of every team trying to beat them. They will need to work really hard to make it to the playoffs next year.
They have some great young players but need to stay healthy.They are pretty great as a team altogether so they have lets say a 85% percent chance for keeping the Lombardi Trophy in their hands next year!

Here's the letter from Roger Godel about the current strike situation:
ReplyDeleteDear NFL Fan,
When I wrote to you last on behalf of the NFL, we promised you that we would work tirelessly to find a collectively bargained solution to our differences with the players' union. Subsequent to that letter to you, we agreed that the fastest way to a fair agreement was for everyone to work together through a mediation process. For the last three weeks I have personally attended every session of mediation, which is a process our clubs sincerely believe in.
Unfortunately, I have to tell you that earlier today the players' union walked away from mediation and collective bargaining and has initiated litigation against the clubs. In an effort to get a fair agreement now, our clubs offered a deal today that was, among other things, designed to have no adverse financial impact on veteran players in the early years, and would have met the players’ financial demands in the latter years of the agreement.
The proposal we made included an offer to narrow the player compensation gap that existed in the negotiations by splitting the difference; guarantee a reallocation of savings from first-round rookies to veterans and retirees without negatively affecting compensation for rounds 2-7; no compensation reduction for veterans; implement new year-round health and safety rules; retain the current 16-4 season format for at least two years with any subsequent changes subject to the approval of the league and union; and establish a new legacy fund for retired players ($82 million contributed by the owners over the next two years).
It was a deal that offered compromise, and would have ensured the well-being of our players and guaranteed the long-term future for the fans of the great game we all love so much. It was a deal where everyone would prosper.
We remain committed to collective bargaining and the federal mediation process until an agreement is reached, and call on the union to return to negotiations immediately. NFL players, clubs, and fans want an agreement. The only place it can be reached is at the bargaining table.
While we are disappointed with the union's actions, we remain steadfastly committed to reaching an agreement that serves the best interest of NFL players, clubs and fans, and thank you for your continued support of our League. First and foremost it is your passion for the game that drives us all, and we will not lose sight of this as we continue to work for a deal that works for everyone.
Yours,
Roger Goodell
