Thursday Thoughts: McCarthy’s Return
After the next 17 days, there probably won’t be any fans left who haven’t seen just how far the Packers have fallen with their own eyes.

10 Most Important Packers
Green Bay did a commendable job of overcoming injuries to key players last season, but when it mattered most, the team really missed Robert Tonyan, David Bakhtiari, and Elgton Jenkins in the divisional round loss to San Francisco (they also could’ve used a healthy Za’Darius Smith and Jaire Alexander on the final drive of that […]
