The Pack Will Be Back....In What Form?

The Packers season came to an end on Sunday night with a loss to the Lions in the regular season finale. It was win and in the playoffs, lose and go home. Unfortunately, Green Bay came out on the short end of a 20-16 final score. 

As I wrote on social media last night, happy with the way the Packers battled this season, but disappointed with the end result, once again. No playoffs and now a lot of questions as the off-season begins. 

There have been some disappointing losses over the years, many ending in heartbreak. This was similar and felt like playoff game, even though it was technically a regular season game. 

There are many questions to be answered in the offseason, as there are most off-seasons. 

The biggest question, of course, is the future of Aaron Rodgers. 

Will he return? Will he retire? Will the Packers trade him? 

These questions will be answered, and hopefully soon. 

We've asked these questions the last couple of years, but there is something that feels different this year. 

Rodgers has been so good over the years, and he's still very good, but you can see he's lost something in terms of arm strength on some of his throws downfield. 

It sure looked last night like Rodgers had possibly played his last game in Lambeau Field. 

He wouldn't give his jersey to a member of the Lions, saying "I'm going to keep this one."

He also seemed to take in everything around him and then embrace and walk into the tunnel alongside Randall Cobb. 

I don't think he wants to retire. I personally think we are going to see him somewhere other than Green Bay, and that is going to hurt. 

Just like when Favre un-retired and went to the Jets and then the Vikings. It was weird and didn't feel right. 

The difference for me, is that I have seen Rodgers' entire career. The MVP's. The Super Bowl victory. The great wins. The brutal loses. 

For Favre, it was only the last three years in Green Bay that I really wanted, and then the three years, "elsewhere." 

It's not just Rodgers. Will Cobb be back? Will Mason Crosby be back? Just to name a few. So many others. 

If Rodgers is back, is Jordan Love gone? If Rodgers is gone, is Love the starter. 

So many questions. 

Let the waiting game begin.
