The Packers shocked the NFL world last week sending the Dallas Cowboys packing and moving on to the divisional round to face off against the 49ers. Here are some final thoughts heading into kick off.
The story of the 2023 Packers is a story of nobodies. If you asked the average NFL fan at the start of the year to name a Packers player they maybe could give you Aaron Jones or Jordan Love. Past that there really was no one. This is the youngest team in the league. Not even fans did we know the players even if we maybe knew a few more of the names.
And it is that team of "nobodies" that I feel is the strongest point in the Packers favor going into the game against the 49ers. There is a lot to be said for a team that doesn't know who they are or what they are supposed to be capable of. There is even more to be said for the team that showed up last week and declared they would not go quietly.
In fact this team of nobodies is becoming a team of somebodies and that should terrify the 49ers because the big question is who's night is it tonight to make their name known. Last week it was Love and Doubs (we already knew Aaron Jones owns Dallas). This week it could be any of the rest of the cast.
Let's go.
