I’ll be the first to say goodbye to September. It means the Packers rip off the “preseason training wheels” and show if they belong in the NFL playoff conversation.
Let’s look at the playoff checklist.
Aaron Rodgers? Check.
Packers defense showing promise? Check?
Wideouts? Uh-oh, injuries. Rookies have to step up
Running game? Ah, well.
Call it what you want, a running back by committee. Ty Montgomery and Jamaal Williams showed promise, but it is too sporadic. Montgomery was handed the ball five times, Williams 11-13 times. That’s not going to cut it.
