After a hard-fought tundra battle against the Carolina Panthers that came down to literal inches, the team sits comfortably at 8-2. With the San Francisco 49ers and New Orleans Saints losing divisional games this Sunday, the Packers have a concrete shot at a first-round bye in the playoffs. Traditionally, the Packers have needed the bye week to get key players healthy, but the team is in relatively good health.
While the team is in an ideal position at this point in the season, the bye week is a great time to shore up the few deficiencies the team does have.
