Green Bay Packers record prediction in 2023 worst-case scenario

Look, even if things don’t go the way that the Packers are hoping, particularly with Jordan Love and Joe Barry, there is simply too much talent on the roster when it comes to the defense, the running backs, and the offensive line for this team to completely hit rock bottom, even if this is the proverbial worst-case scenario.

All told, the worst-case scenario for this team breaks down pretty simply. Despite having players like Jaire Alexander, Quay Walker, and Rashan Gary (once he returns) on the defense, Barry has not proven he’s a good coordinator and, if more evidence mounts that he’s actually bad at his job, this defense will once again have a propensity for getting shredded.

What’s more, it also likely means that Jordan Love simply doesn’t hit the ground running. However, I do have enough belief in the Packers’ evaluation of quarterbacks given the franchise’s long history at the position from Favre to Rodger to now Love that he has the tools to succeed, it just might come with a learning curve. So a worst-case scenario sees him have to grow and find more success at the season goes on.

The final record in these Packers game-by-game predictions for the worst-case scenario in Green Bay ends up with 7-10. That’s surely not good enough to get into the playoffs, even with the NFC being a very big question mark as a whole.

At the same time, though, my take on the Packers’ worst-case scenario for the 2023 season isn’t that they are left to hit a full reset with Jordan Love and big pieces on the roster. Instead, it’s that they do indeed skip a beat but see signs for a bright future moving forward. Subsequently, Green Bay is still in a good spot moving forward, even if the 2023 campaign ends up not being fruitful in terms of garnering wins.
