The Packers have been in the offseason for a while now, courtesy of their Wildcard Round exit at the hands of the eventual Super Bowl champs. But now the final pair of teams has joined the Packers in the run-up to the 2025 season; one will have a parade this week, and the other gets to have arguments about whether it’s worse to get blown out in the Super Bowl or in the Wildcard Round.
