Entering the season, I think we all had pretty high expectations for what the team was going to be able to accomplish this year. Aaron Rodgers was back and healthy. Dom Capers was finally gone. Joe Philbin was back at offensive coordinator for the first time since the record-setting 2011 season. The team had a new general manager who was willing to use all avenues available to build his team. There were several splash free agent signings, a couple surprising trades and what seemed to be a strong draft.
While there were certainly some positives to come out of the 2018 season, ultimately the Packers’ 100th season will be remembered primarily for disappointment, underachieving and the midseason ouster of Mike McCarthy.
