The Green Bay Packers have gotten off to a 2-0 start on the season, but it has actually felt somewhat hollow.
Of course, winning games is always a good thing, and while the Packers have beaten a pair of NFC North division rivals to start the year, there are actually some concerns for Green Bay at the moment.
Here are three burning questions for the Packers heading into their Week 3 matchup against the Denver Broncos.
3. How Good Is the Defense?
Green Bay's defense looks much improved from a year ago, as it has allowed just 19 points through its first two games.
The thing is, both of those defensive outings came against offenses that are not exactly strong, as the Chicago Bears are not known for their offensive brilliance, and Kirk Cousins has been struggling for the Minnesota Vikings.
So, is the Packers' defense really that good, or has it just been a product of weak offenses?
The answer could be somewhere in the middle.
2. Does Aaron Rodgers Have Enough Weapons?
We know that Davante Adams is Aaron Rodgers' go-to guy in the passing game, but does Rodgers have enough reliable weapons outside of Adams?
Geronimo Allison and Marquez Valdes-Scantling look like his second and third receivers, but neither player is proven, and neither player has shown they can be consistent over the course of a full 16-game campaign.
Allison looked like he could develop into that type of guy last year, but injuries abbreviated his season.
The Packers' offense has not been lighting it up over the first couple of weeks, and a lack of overall talent at receiver may be a big reason why. It will be interesting to see how that plays out the rest of the year.
1. Is Matt LaFleur the Answer?
Green Bay hired Matt LaFleur as head coach to revolutionize the offense, but thus far, he has done anything but that.
The Packers have scored just 31 points over their first couple of weeks, which is not exactly what Green Bay fans were hoping for when the club hired LaFleur.
Obviously, we are just two games in, so LaFleur deserves a grace period, but it is somewhat concerning that the offense has looked so dry thus far, especially when you have a quarterback as talented as Rodgers under center.
The good news is the Packers' offense looked a bit better last week, so maybe it will continue to improve against the Broncos.
But so far, LaFleur has not brought much of anything new to the table.
