The 2018 Packers season hinges on two games. That’s it. Obviously they’ll have to win more than two total games, but two in particular look particularly crucial as we stand here less than two months from Week 1.
But let’s start here: Green Bay is going to lose games. In Mid-July, everyone is undefeated and all 32 teams think they can compete for a title, but every single one is going to lose games. It’s when teams lose those games (and obviously how many they lose) that ultimately matters.
To whom are you losing?
When you’re a playoff team, one expecting to contend for an NFC crown, that matters more than just about anything else because the expectation is double-digit wins.
