Ish is not sure about that last game.
I'm going to be optimistic and say they'll go 8 - 9.

I'm thinking we improve by a game or two.
Anywhere from 8 and 9 to 10 and 7. Given the breath of fresh air going with the latter and 10 and 7 due to the weaker schedule, improved defense and finally seeing MLF's 2 TE sets and focus on running game.
60% of the time it works every time.
Going to go anti homer here. I would guess 6-11.
I hope we see a ton of promise from Jordan Love so we have the same hopes as year one when we watched Shitbag play, back when he was a good human being.
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
A young Butte was cockier than Razor Ramon. Graybeard Butte drinks ayahuasca and goes on darkness retreats, embracing love and disavowing the ego in the afterglow.
I would not call the man who acts like a brash rooster a “good human being.” And even if he ain’t a saint, compared to Bert Favor, Butte reeks of humanity.
I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel.
Rodgers is a family-size bag of crazy, but he ain't an (alleged) criminal or dirtbag.
In 2008 when Packers went 6-10, they were competitive. They had a losing record because they went 1-7 in games decided by one score. I think it will be similar this year. Whether they have a winning or losing record will depend on how they do in close games. Can the defense hold a lead? Can Love lead a late comeback? Anywhere from 6-10 wins is a reasonable guess.

Crazy, how so? Sure, Butte is into alternative medicine and conspiracy theories. But guess what, perfectly sane folks have been practicing/utilizing nonconventional medicine for eons. And in the immortal words of Fox Mulder, the truth is out there.

I voted better, but. It's likely there will be a lot of close games. I think not having an experienced, clutch outdoor kicker may bite them in the ass.
1 at Chicago W 20-17 1-0
2 at Atlanta W 31-20 2-0
3 New Orleans W 21-20 3-0
4 Detroit L 14-28 3-1
5 at Las Vegas W 24-21 4-1
6 Bye

18 Chicago W 24-14 10-7
Streaky, 4 Game losing streak mid-season after hot start. 10-7, WC game on the road.
They have what most consider to be a favorable schedule early, so a hot start will go a long way towards their overall record.
Hopefully they lose the close games. This isn't going to be the year they make a run. I think they're playing for next year. Right now you want to land BJ Raji and CM3 in the 2024 draft.
True. There are a lot of favorable scenarios. Winning a bunch and Love being the guy is the top hope. But after that, a lot of good things can happen. Losing enough to get a star QB in the draft is another good option. Losing enough to get a star defender with love showing he’s the guy is another great option.
There are a list of horrible scenarios too. Love being Kirk Cousins good is the worst possible scenario. It means we keep him for a long time, never lose enough to replace him and never have a chance of winning. Ugh!

I see I voted for about the same back in July. I'd revise that greatly upward now.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
So the comps go Doubs, Reed, Heath, Watson in the same order. None are quite exact, but each shares traits.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
Didn’t you say for like 3 years straight that without Rodgers we’d be mediocre at best?

Did I? You'll have to forgive me hahahaha. I'm old and must be getting forgetful.
Love is looking better than I expected - to the extent that I'm guardedly optimistic about him. But the big difference is that the whole team is so loaded with talent that they ought to win a bunch of games even if the QB isn't too great. I'd say about the same if it was Clifford - or maybe even McGough.
