Packers News: What they must fix in bye week, Week 7 picks
A roundup of the latest Green Bay Packers articles for Saturday, October 20.
Good morning and welcome to the Packers News Report. The weekend of Week 7 is here, but the bad news is that there is no Green Bay Packers football tomorrow.
For one day only, we can all wear our AFC East jerseys. OK, maybe not. But Green Bay will be hoping New England, Miami and the NY Jets can defeat all three of their NFC North rivals this weekend.
I’m sure Mike McCarthy won’t be spending too much of his Sunday afternoon watching the games, however. He will be making bye week adjustments ahead of a very tough five-week stretch for his team, and one that could determine their playoff chances.
What the Packers must fix in the bye week, and more, all in the Packers News Report today.
Let’s get started. Here’s a roundup of the latest articles from around the internet.
