While all teams are currently 0-0, fans can be blindly optimistic with all 17 games in front of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-[18px] md:mt-0 mb-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">However, after the first weekend of games, that excitement will continue for half the league, and disappointment will take over for the other half.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">The Green Bay Packers are hoping to keep the excitement high with a Week 1 win, but they have a tall task on their hands, opening the season against the Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">Obviously, fans want the Packers to win this game, but no one is going to hit the panic button if Green Bay has a competitive loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">It\u2019s just Week 1, and the Lions are an elite team.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">However, result aside, there is one thing that would leave Packers fans panicking: the cornerbacks getting picked on all game.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">Packers&#8217; concerning cornerback room faces a huge test in Week 1 against the Lions<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">Entering the season, fans feel pretty good about what Green Bay will put on the field offensively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">Josh Jacobs is going to run the ball well, and Jordan Love and the talented group of receivers are going to make plays through the air.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">There\u2019s also excitement defensively, considering the team\u00a0recently added Micah Parsons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">The star defender should help solve the Packers\u2019 pass-rushing issues, and he should be a good fit for what\u2019s already a promising defensive front.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">Additionally, Xavier McKinney is back for year two, and the All-Pro safety is\u00a0ready to take things to another level.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">The one concern, though, is the cornerback position. Green Bay moved on from Jaire Alexander this offseason and is entering the year with a cornerback room led by Keisean Nixon and Nate Hobbs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">This questioned group of corners could end up being a really good unit and deliver as needed for the Packers to be a great defense.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">However, they\u2019ll be facing an explosive Lions offense with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams at wide receiver. If the Packers struggle to slow Detroit\u2019s passing attack, there will be all kinds of takes about why Green Bay should\u2019ve invested more in the cornerback room this offseason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1\">The Packers\u2019 corners can prevent that by giving fans a great first impression on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Week 1 scenario that would send Packers fans into chaos Green Bay Packers v Minnesota Vikings | Brace Hemmelgarn\/GettyImages The 2025 season kicks off this week,&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":87934,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Update!!!
