PFF Ranks Packers Among 2022 Favorites

Since Aaron Rodgers has been under center the Packers have been among the favorites to win the Super Bowl, and 2022 is no exception, according to Pro Football Focus. With training camp looming, the Packers are among the top five rosters according to PFF and fourth-best odds to win it all according to SI Sportsbook.

For once, however, the Packers will have a top-notch defense to go along with a high-powered offensive attack. In fact, the Packers’ depth chart is stacked with upper-echelon players across the board.

The Packers’ defense opened eyes nationwide based on last year’s playoff effort against the San Francisco 49ers. The addition of draft picks Quay Walker and Devontae Wyatt — as well as keeping De’Vondre Campbell and Rasul Douglas further solidified the defense.

rodgers hand off | PFF Ranks Packers Among 2022 Favorites
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (12) hands off during the 4th quarter of the Green Bay Packers 31-26 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Championship playoff game Sunday, Jan. 24, 2021 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis.

After the performance against the 49ers, it’s easy to forget that the Packers were miserable defensively over the last part of the 2021 season, ranked 28th in points allowed, 32nd in touchdown passes, 28th in yards allowed, and 24th in total defense during that stretch. Therefore, the Packers must live up to the hype generated since the 49ers game.

With Davante Adams now playing in Las Vegas, their most glaring weakness is wide receiver. There is a solid core that Rodgers has faith in with Allen Lazard and Sammy Watkins. The addition of three draft picks should also help, but it will take a group effort to overcome the trade of Adams.

Perhaps the biggest key to the success of the offense is the play up front. This hinges on the health Elgton Jenkins and David Bakhtiari. Jenkins was a Pro Bowler in 2020 and is coming off an ACL tear. Bakhtiari injured his left knee in back-to-back seasons. The bigger concern is surrounding Jenkins, as to when he’ll return. He’s extremely versatile and chances are good that he’ll end up at right tackle.

    What bullshit is this? Why, the discerning Packer fan KNOWS Brian Gutekunst has run this organization into the ground! Only by the grace of Aaron Rodgers and his bitching new tattoo can we possibly ever stand a chance! I guess Kevin won’t be quoting BFF stats this year. Fourth best odds to get to the SB? With this piss poor receiver group? I can tell no one from PFF or SI consulted the wise men who post here at “Total Packers!” This just in: tattoo artists across the country are now offering the new Aaron Rodgers tattoo! Only available on your lower back. Why only your lower back? Because your not worthy to get it on your arm!

    The defense is loaded at all levels, and the offense will be solid if the line gets healthy.

    Despite Tom’s ridiculous rant, the Davante trade was one of the best things that could happen to Green Bay. Now the defense is stacked, Christian Watson is working, and the cap has received major relief.

    Is this a Top 5 roster? Absolutely.

    Why are you so angry all the time Princess?
    I mean…it’s entertaining to watch in a twisted way…kind of like a bad accident at the Indy 500.
    .
    I see some more Aaron Rodgers research has been done. Or maybe he just gets “alerts” on his flip phone…lol
    Sad, either way you look at it.

    A team is a top 5 roster, when it is…..a top 5 roster.
    I’s like to see the new players (Walker, Wyatt, Watson) actually play in their first NFL game before i say how stacked this roster is.
    But, that’s just me….
    Hopefully Amari Rodgers can grow off of his success last season. (hiccup)
    .
    Rockman has it right on this subject…..
    There are some “ifs” going on here, like the O line and the receiver group he mentions.
    .
    I’m perplexed at the significance of the Packers having the 4th best odds to get to the Super Bowl?
    I’m sure the Bucks had damn good odds of getting back into the NBA Championship series last season.
    .
    I mean..
    What have the Packers odds been the last three seasons?
    Probably, about the same or better…amirite?
    So……?
    .
    Having the fourth best odds to reach the Super Bowl means absolutely nothing.
    .
    That, and a dollar will buy you a soda at McDonalds.

    You left out your most important talking point Kevin. “We don’t know who our second and third WR’s are!” I’m not the least bit angry. I’m an optimist. I’ve come out and said we’ll win 11-13 games and Rodgers will throw 30 TD’s. And with a little luck, this championship caliber defense just might be able to carry us to a SB. While you’ve already started blaming Gutekunst for not trading up for a WR in the first round. Anyone can make predictions after the fact. I told you last year Kurt Benkert was a camp arm, Rashan Gary would have 10 sacks, and ZaDarius Smith would be released. While you told us Benkert was better than Love, Gary was a wasted pick, and Smith would be traded from draft picks just like Josh Jackson. Wrong on all accounts.

    Wow, a new article. It’s only been about a month. And we’re finally able post comments again? I thought this site was dead but maybe that was done strategically so we could all have a break from the community troll. Smart move JP.

    What?!?! I thought this was a championship defense that could do no wrong? Defensive rankings are nothing more than stat rankings, and we know stats are totally worthless so I refuse to acknowledge this paragraph. Everyone knows the Packers would be an instant dynasty if they didn’t have to deal with their selfish diva quarterback.

    I see Cheese. Stats mean nothing when referring to the defense. Yet they mean everything when referring to Aaron Rodgers. The 49ers went all the way to the NFCC game. Giving the eventual SB champs all they could handle for nearly 3 quarters. How is that possible with the very average Jimmy G and Deebo Samuel who everyone here claims is inferior to Davante Adams? Don’t worry, I have the answer. It’s called defense. The defense tailed off the last six weeks of the season mostly due to injury, then returning relatively healthy for the playoffs. Fortunately during the final 6 weeks of the season Rodgers picked up his game and we didn’t miss a beat. Until the dreaded playoffs. During the first 10 weeks of the season Rodgers was efficient if not spectacular with the defense mostly carrying the day. Which is what you want Cheese. You want your QB and your defense to complement each other. The teams that win championships have well rounded teams that can beat you multiple ways. Offense, defense, special teams. Desmond Howard, not Brett Favre, was SB MVP because he scored a TD on special teams. Special teams as much as Aaron Rodgers poor play cost us the playoff game against the 49ers. The defense did its job. And therein lies the problem between all your Aaron Rodgers fans and Brian Gutekunst. You want the reason we win to be all about Rodgers and his beautiful stats and awards which we know doesn’t work. While Gutekunst is trying to make all three phases of the team team better. A more complete team. A championship team. There’s reason for optimism here but because it’s not all about Rodgers you girls will have none of it.

    The Packers defensive performance against the 49ers was good. I’m not sure it was eye opening. The 49ers offense was one dimensional in the game. Garoppolo has never been a great passer, but against the Packers he had a bad shoulder and that bad shoulder was attached to his throwing arm. Jimmy threw one int. and really laid up two others that could have been pick 6s. The Packers D against Jimmy could concentrate on the run. That is until the 49ers last drive when the 49ers did what they needed to do against the eye opening Packer D.
    We have seen that one of the big problems with the Packer D over the years is not being strong up the middle, apparently Gute’s eyes were opened on that final drive, and the last half of the season. The Packers needed to still get stronger up the middle. That goes not just for defense, but also offense, as the Packers running game was not as productive with new O-linemen and injuries.
    All Gute’s picks and signings except for the WRs were to strengthen the Packers up the middle. I like the moves and picks. I know it is boring to some, but I would be excited to watch a Packer team with a strong defense and running game. Keep the QB’s Jersey clean.
