The 2025 season is over. The Seattle Seahawks captured the ultimate prize. How close are the Packers to winning it all in 2026?
That’s the only question that matters for this iteration of the Packers. For the next few seasons, the Packers are leveraged to win now. They’ve got a good quarterback, capable players at most other positions, and stability throughout the organization. What will it take to get the Packers over the top?
A lot of Packers fans (or at least, some very loud ones) suggested this
offseason that a different head coach would do the trick. That ship has sailed, and it’ll be on Matt LaFleur to get the Packers to the big dance and into the proverbial end zone.
Can he do it? It’ll depend on the second big pillar of Packers success: injury luck. The Packers had a pretty rough go of things in 2025, and there’s no guarantee things will be any better in 2026 .But you have to hink some improvement on that front would at least leave the Packers a little better equipped to make a run than they were this year.
So can they do it? It’s certainly possible. The Packers will enter next season as one of the few teams who can consider themselves legitimate contenders by virtue of the fact that they have a capable quarterback. The rest will take some doing, but there’s no reason to think the Packers can’t get it done.
