Packers O-line could lift franchise to another Super Bowl title

The Green Bay Packers have had a tough go of it the past couple of seasons.

But let’s go back to the 2015 season … after starting the season as everyone expected, going 6-0 before they took a break at the bye, the wheels began to fall off for the Packers.

It seems the Packers couldn’t win to save their souls after the first six games.

After the break, they came out and got smoked at Denver, 29-10; and then lost heartbreakers to the Carolina Panthers, 37-29; to the Detroit Lions, 18-16; and the Bears, 17-13.

All of those games were winnable and the Packers were in a position to pull them out at the end, but just couldn’t finish.

Following that embarrassment of a loss to the hated Bears at home on Thanksgiving evening (on the same night the franchise and its fan base honored Brett Favre), the Packers won three straight and took over the lead of the NFC North Division.

Though the team eventually lost out to the Minnesota Vikings for the division title, it was the Packers that moved one step further in the playoffs and nearly made it back to the championship game.

So, with that said, there are plenty of factors that will determine whether the Packers can take the next step in 2016 and earn a berth in the Super Bowl next season.

One of those factors comes down to the offensive line … and every player on that line.

Earlier last year, I wrote a piece about each of the starting offensive linemen and the role they will play (if they all stay healthy) in the Packers late season drive to a potential Super Bowl.

We want to once again focus on this line to demonstrate just how important the individuals of this unit will play in a possible run to the Super Bowl in 2016.

Turn the pages to read about just how important these linemen will be in helping the team reach the ultimate goal … read on …
