Can the packers make the playoffs next year?

I believe that they can, but it will be a tough uphill battle. It would not be all that possible for them to even win the divisional clown. Last year the packers were just plagued by injuries, that is why they were not the same team they were in 2007. There were two other obstacles that kept the packers out of the playoffs last year; they were the inexperience of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and the tough schedule that the packers had to grind through. Both of those will not be a problem this coming year, both Rodgers and the schedule will be on target for them to make a playoff run. The new transition to the 3-4 defense should help slow down alot of offenses that they will face this next season as well. But the biggest thing that the packers did was build on their roster this offseason, via draft and free agency. They addressed all of their weaknesses in the offseason; which were a lack of pass protection, and a weak pass rush. Both were especially bolstered by green bay's first three draft picks, NT-BJ Raji, LB-Clay Mathews, OT-TJ Lang. Watch for the packers to win the division, and get back on the map. Who knows, maybe even claim a home playoff matchup!
