Policy said they would not get new deals until after the current season. Policy also downplayed the idea that either LaFleur or Gutekunst would work as lame ducks next year, saying such an approach \u2018creates a lot of issues.\u2019 So it likely will be either new deals or pink slips.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Packers Still Have Time to Turn Season Around<\/h2>\n<p>While it\u2019s tough to argue the optics mustering only 13 points against the Carolina Panthers and seven points against the Eagles in back-to-back losses, things aren\u2019t nearly as bad for the Packers as some have made it out to be.<\/p>\n<p>Green Bay currently occupies the seventh playoff spot in the NFC, but the team is just a half-game behind the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears, who are tied for the NFC North lead at 6-3.<\/p>\n<p>The Packers have two games left against the Bears and one against the Lions, so if the offense can fix its issues, Green Bay can make up ground quickly and potentially vie for the division lead and a top-four playoff seed.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Gallagher Michael Gallagher is a sports journalist covering the NFL for Heavy.com.
