The Green Bay Packers announced plans for the Packers Tailgate Tour, set for April 8-12, which will travel around Wisconsin to visit with fans and thank them in person for their support. The event will feature current and alumni Packers players, with current players Josh Jacobs, Tucker Kraft and Lukas Van Ness and alumni players Ahman Green, Jermichael Finley and John Michels scheduled to board the bus, along with Packers President/CEO Mark Murph

While Jordan Love and the development of the young offense was the major story surrounding the Green Bay Packers coming into the season, one underrated addition to the team was new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley. With Hafley manning the defense, fans and sportswriters alike instantly saw a shift in the overall philosophy and scheme, as Green Bay sent a lot more pressure than anyone was accustomed to seeing.

After a season with inconsistent play from the kicking position, Green Bay went the route of bringing in competition in the offseason to secure the kicker position. That came in the form of signing Greg Joseph to compete with Anders Carlson throughout training camp. That seemed to be the biggest story of the offseason, as the Packers were supposed to be on the precipice of winning the Super Bowl.

If you’ve been following the Green Bay Packers since the 1990s, all you’ve known is great quarterback play. Brett Favre took the reins in 1992. Aaron Rodgers took over for him in 2008.

While there certainly have been other reasons why Green Bay has seemingly underperformed in the playoffs throughout the Aaron Rodgers era, one thing certainly stood out — special teams. Those problems continued to persist in Jordan Love’s first season as a starter, as rookie kicker Anders Carlson made 27 of 33 field goals on the season, including 34 of 39 extra points. On top of that, Carlson struggled in the kickoff game.

The Super Bowl is upon us, and the Green Bay Packers are not playing in it. The Packers were eliminated shortly after the playoffs began with a 22-10 loss at the hands of the NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles. Once the season was over, all eyes turned to the offseason. The Packers did some of their best work last offseason.
