Probably top 5? Philadelphia, Kansas City, Washington, Buffalo, Baltimore, and Detroit were all indisputably better and closer, so we certainly weren’t top 5. We were in that “fringe” group with the Rams, Vikings, and Texans, Chargers, Broncos and Bucs. And have done really nothing to separate ourselves from that group.
Every team has a Marshawn Lloyd or Lukas Van Ness that *could* step up and make an impact. Yes, if Jordan Love plays really well we could contend for a Super Bowl. That’s exactly where we were at in the entire Aaron Rodgers era. Hoping for our QB to play like an MVP for us to contend.
The defense should be “pretty good”, but we still don’t have the pass rush to be a team carried by our defense.
