The Green Bay Packers did a bold thing when they kept seven wide receivers (and only three inside linebackers) on the 53-man roster at the end of final cuts. After struggling on offense last season and dealing with injuries to multiple pass-catchers, the Packers clearly wanted to keep their homegrown talent on their roster and off other teams', as many players likely would not have gotten through waivers to be placed on the practice squad.
However, for a team that has seven wide receivers at its disposal—all of whom are active on game day, given their roles on special teams—the Packers sure aren't using them much on the field.
Whether it was Aaron Rodgers calling the Packers' offensive performance in Week 1 "embarrassing" or Packers fans wringing their hands over the team just barely escaping Jacksonville with a win, there was a lot of negativity surrounding this week's performance. The question is, why? The Packers are 1-0 after playing a talented young team and are already showing improvement in areas that plagued them in 2015.
