Lemony Snicket couldn’t write a series of events this unfortunate. The Green Bay Packers laid a stinker in Saturday night’s divisional-round matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, effectively ending their season and possibly any hope at a Super Bowl title for the next couple of seasons.
The saddest part of it all is the game itself wasn’t the most gut-punching playoff loss this team has had in the last 15 years. However, the circumstances surrounding the game and the offseason to follow make it arguably the toughest one to swallow.
