Packer Prediction thread

[Karps TA]

Season starts tomorrow so what the heck.

I see them going 9-7/10-6. The offense is going to have to carry the team this year because both their Defense and Special teams look awful both on field and on paper. The schedule is pretty brutal as well.

If you like high scoring shoot outs the Packers should be fun to watch.

[TraceDaddy]

I'll go 10-6. I'm most concerned about the ability to duplicate the +24 turnover ratio from last year. That's ridiculous. If that doesn't happen, the offense doesn't get as many chances as last year and the defense gets tired out more often.

[Todd Z]

12-4, Special teams is a question. Defense will have it together. They didn't show in pre season but many vets sat out out and the starting unit was never all on the field. I have faith.

[Prince Valiant]

12-4, with a very good possibility of 13-3.

The way I see it, the pack will likely go 5-1 in their division, splitting w/ MN. I would normally say that there is a an upset loss to throw in there...but there aren't enough cupcake games this year. B/w Jets, San fran, Hotlanta, Patriots, MIA, Redskins, Cowgirls, Giants, and Bills, I think 6-3 is very reasonable...with the greatest likelyhood of losses coming against Jets and Patriots (both away games, both represents insurgent or cagey/veteran led teams), while it wouldn't be unexpected to drop another game that they "should" win...and I think the pack will win it's first against the eagles.

Though the schedule is tough, it's still a fairly conducive schedule for a good season, since some opponents that would be a very tough win on the road (say MIA, san fran), are instead going to be played in the far cozier enviro of the not-yet-frozen tundra.

Not too worried about the D since much of the basic ingredients are there, and special teams are hardest to predict in the pre-season since there is no consistency of what's on the field due to player evaluations and constantly changing make-ups.

12-4 or 13-3.

[0TransAm0]

12-4 or 13-3.

agreed.

[hrsp]

id say 10-6 or 9-7....

hope someone makes a thread for picking games and keeps track like last year! :)

[Karps TA]

I only pick games against the spread. Otherwise it screws up my thinking.

[noeggs4u]

How about a bcm packer party one game??

[05caddyext]

8-8 rodgers goes down.

[PB86MCSS]

11-5, turnover margin won't be duplicated but will be on the plus side again. There is always 1-2 losses vs teams you should beat, predicting 13-3 (or 3-13) for any team in this era is hard for me to do.

[nismodave]

8-8

[DynoTom]

8-8 rodgers goes down.


yep, I agree....

[VroomPshhTsi]

11-5

[Karps TA]

8-8 rodgers goes down.


That could happen. Packers are hoping to have what 20 years in a row with the same starting QB making it the entire season? It's amazing they've gone this long. That's a stat that I think doesn't get enough play.

[nismodave]

12-4, I have faith.

very good point!!

im not a packer fan but i hope he stays healthy...they should be fun to watch this year!

[Moparjim]

Lol @ Packers fans. I know it's hard to be objective but sheesh. Its a tough division even Detroit will be decent I think. I don't see the pack or Minnesota doing much better than 9-7 through 11-5. I sure as hell don't see the Pack or Minnesota going 13-3 or better. Most likely scenario is someone will will the division at 10-6 or so and a LOT of teams will be looking for wildcards at like 9-7.

[WhatsADSM]

9-7. Tough schedule.

[DynoTom]

8-8 rodgers goes down.:shades


yep, I agree....:shades



Told ya Boss you even said Super Bowl ! ......:rolleyes::rolleyes:



13-3:rolleyes::rolleyes:


Correction.... 16-3:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Packers are done....Rodgers with a concussion, McCarthy still calling ridiculous plays and half the team out hurt. Put a fork in it!

I agree. But then again last year I called them done after the TB game and they turned it around so we'll see.

[Silver03SRT]

I don't hear any Packer fans blaming Rodgers for the INT at the end of the game. If it were Favre they would be on him so fast.

[flyin_blue_egg]

yea but last year we still had rodgers, matthews, finley and to a lesser extent grant heathly for the season. Now we have even less of a running game then last year w/ grant done, finley is starting to turn into our best receiver b/c of the matchup troubles he creates. Now they can just focus on jennings and driver. If matthews misses time there goes just about all our sacks for the games he misses. And then there's the rodger concussion, if he misses ANY time i bet we lose those games. Hell even if he doesn't miss time, w/ all the other injuries the team is still hurting.

[0TransAm0]

we will be alright. after all there is no really good team in our division this year. everybody looks like shit...
