The Green Bay Packers close out the regular season with a tough stretch of games.
Starting with the Detroit Lions (7-4) on Thanksgiving Day, the Packers (7-3-1) will play four of their last six games against NFC North opponents, plus matchups against the Denver Broncos (9-2) and Baltimore Ravens (6-5).
We asked our PackersNews reporters the question of the week and now we’re asking fans:
Who’s one player on offense and one on defense who can make the most impact for the Packers the rest of the season?
Glenn Erwin: Christian (Watson) and Keisean (Nixon).
George: (Micah) Parsons and (Jayden) Reed
David: Jordan Love
Dave: Christian Watson on offense. His pure athleticism, breakaway speed, and toughness will be the most impactful. Micah Parsons on defense. His relentlessness can be contagious.
Terry: Devonte Wyatt. Sudden, violent and disruptive in the middle of the pass rush. Will make things much easier for Parsons to excel.
John: Christian Watson, Micah Parsons
Scott Schone: Watson, Parsons
KG: Parsons, (Matthew) Golden
Jim: Watson and (Edgerrin) Cooper
Bill Flahive Sr: Watson, Parsons
Scott: Easy on defense, Micah. So many on offense, Jayden Reed can bring back some of what Kraft brought.
James Miller: Jordan Love and Rashan Gary
Allyn Michalek: Parsons and Love
Ted: Offense – Watson. Defense – Parsons
MPG: Parsons for D/ Watson for O
Chuck: Reed and Parsons
Dennis John: Love and Parsons
Terry Nilles: It would be very difficult for any offensive player to have more of an impact than Love. On defense, I can’t imagine anyone having a bigger impact than Parsons. If you’re looking for sleepers, I would go with Watson on offense and (Xavier) McKinney on defense.
Wayne Foster: Watson and McKinney
John Stern: Reed. Parsons
Tom Kohlbeck: Offense, Watson. Defense, Carrington Valentine.
Mike: Watson and Parsons
Marc: Reed and Parsons
Mike: Wyatt is due to break out on dline if he can stay healthy. A healthy J. Reed on offense could open up the passing game as he can make big plays.
Erwin Penny: Defensively I believe if Devonte Wyatt can step up his game just a little it will have a big impact on the defense as a whole. Being able to help stuff the run and collapse the pocket from inside will speed up the QB’s clock and make it hard to escape. Offensively, has to be Jayden Reed or Anthony Belton. Belton could have an impact allowing Jacobs to get going in the cold weather games coming soon. Reed, just adding a reliable set of hands, a good route running will impact the offense.
Nee Lund: Belton
Rick: Love and Parsons
Tim: Wyatt (Parsons of course) and Watson (Love of course)
John: Reed and Parsons
Tom: Love and Parsons
Donald Sparacino: Watson
Josh Robinson: Watson and Parsons
Heathcliff: Belton and (Warren) Brinson
Dan Cropp: Offense: Reed. Defense: Parsons
Rolando Nica: Love
Tosafish: Offense must be Jordan Love – begins and ends with him. Defense is more nuanced, but I’d say Devonte Wyatt, to improve interior run and pass defense overall.
