I just believe their roster is more talented than the last several years. Injuries are a huge factor for every team, every year. Unfortunately, the Packers have had multiple injuries to the top end of their roster (Parsons, Tom, Watson, Wyatt, Kraft,..) and I don't believe they will be as injury riddled to key guys this season.
Also, not having Jacobs, for who knows how long (maybe forever), will force MLF to be more aggressive I hope. My biggest complaint with him the last two years is he is way too conservative as a play caller and hasn't given Love enough freedom.
