9-8. It will be an exciting, but bumpy ride.

I was wondering if there was gonna be a thing like this? I'll get back to ya'all after I give it some thought.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
I went with 7 - 10, though I almost hit the 8 - 9 button. I think the offense is going to be rocky, in large part because I think MLF is slow to adjust to certain problems, and I think Myers starting at center is going to be a problem. The middle of the line's going to get caved in - no room to run, pushing the pocket when Love is trying to pass - and I don't see MLF adjusting until the team's lost a few. Plus you're going to have the young receivers dropping the ball, running the wrong route - the usual learning stuff.
And I still don't trust Joe Barely. With all those damn first round picks, I can still see the Packer defense getting run on, over and over and over.
Yet there will be flashes on offense, and the defense will again straighten up a bit toward the end of the season. So it'll be a fun ride this year, watching how it all plays out sans Rodgers.

I'm gonna go High and say 10 wins, I think we surprise a bit this year
Again this year, I don't see any clear and obvious losses, but they undoubtedly will stumble 3 or 4 times, especially with the young QB(s) and Barry coaching the D. The team is loaded, though.

Will go with my previous prediction, 10-7. 4 game losing streak mid season after hot start. Wild card game probably on the road but winnable. Giants game will be the key to ending up with a good season.

I'm predicting
Packers, Lions, Vikings all at 11+ wins
Bears with 5 wins
10-7. The offense will be roughly equal to last season as Love learns the ropes, but the defense will be improved. This team will be fighting for a playoff berth in December.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
Love doesn’t seem to have a quick release at a glance. But in the bits I’ve watched he’s shown some good streaks of consistency.
Mainly I doubt him because great quarterbacks are pretty rare. And I don’t want a decent qb. I want a great one. So just going off of odds, I don’t like his chances.
But I’m still gonna say 10-7. I think he’s got a solid chance to be above average and he’s shown enough to have hope for greatness too.

10-7 there's a lot of talent on this team, but most of it is young.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
10-7. Soft schedule this year helps. I think the defense better be fucking awesome or not just Barry, but MiLF for sticking with him have to sweat their jobs.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
I dunno
Just got the opportunity to watch the last preseason game
Some good, some middling
Some bad
At this point I'd say we're a .500 ball club, but with 17 games there is no such thing, so 8-8 is not possible
Next iteration is 9-8
But I'm a homer, and willing (hoping) to give a shadow of a doubt
So, 10/7 and a playoff berth
I really hope Jordon Love learns how to put a touch on touch throw's
I dunno
Rough start to the season then gelling late season to rally and finish with a 10-7 record and just miss the playoffs.
Shit I picked 10-7 with some of the worst picking mfers on the Internet!!
I picked 13 -4 as well.
Some key assumptions
1) qb doesn't break his thumb
2) qb doesn't put talented wr in dog house if they drop a ball
3) ol needs to maintain blocks for less time, plus it is improved
3) hype of d from last year materializes this year
4) Amari Rodgers gone and full year Nixon
5) bak Gary and stokes return to form after injuries.
This is a great schedule.

I think Minny's got a good schedule for themselves this year, too.

I do not see a path for Stokes to be a good player in 2023, if ever again.
