What's still developing
- When you start adding all of that up, the Packers are not playing functional football.
- “At the end of the day, it’s an entertainment business, so we have to put a better product out on the field if we want to have the fans have our back,” Watson said.
- So Kraft and his big new contract calling them out isn’t a very good look.

- In the other photo, a Green Bay Packers fan expresses his displeasure to a referee over an uncalled penalty during a game against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, Sept.
