Predict The Packers Record

[Chevelle2]

So I know many people find these useless, but I think they are kinda fun, and get me excited for the season.

We all pick which games we're going to win and lose, and then give a final record. The person with the correct final record wins. Should there be a tie, whoever picks the most games correctly wins (both wins AND losses).

Have at it! Here is mine


Schedule:
Week 1: Green Bay Packers VS Chicago Bears
Week 2: Green Bay Packers VS Cincinnati Bengals
Week 3: Green Bay Packers AT St. Louis Rams
Week 4: Green Bay Packers AT Minnesota Vikings
Week 5: Open Date
Week 6: Green Bay Packers VS Detroit Lions
Week 7: Green Bay Packers AT Cleveland Browns
Week 8: Green Bay Packers VS Minnesota Vikings
Week 9: Green Bay Packers AT Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Week 10: Green Bay Packers VS Dallas Cowboys
Week 11: Green Bay Packers VS San Francisco 49ers
Week 12: Green Bay Packers AT Detroit Lions
Week 13: Green Bay Packers VS Baltimore Ravens
Week 14: Green Bay Packers AT Chicago Bears
Week 15: Green Bay Packers AT Pittsburgh Steelers
Week 16: Green Bay Packers VS Seattle Seahawks
Week 17: Green Bay Packers AT Arizona Cardinals

The red games are ones that could go either way, but I'll stick with 14-2. I think we are that good. I will have a one line explanation later, i have to go now.

[MichiganPackerFan]

I'm thinking 11-5, but I don't have a game by game analysis.

[HarveyWallbangers]

14-2? I want what you are smoking. Did Iron Mike change his name to Chevelle2?

12-4, and we won't be swept by any division rivals. And there will be football played at Lambeau come January.

[Scott Campbell]

11-5. This looks to me like a very good roster. It'll be interesting if I still feel this way after the weekend.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I've predicted 10-6 the last two years. I think I'll stop making predictions. I'm hopeful.

[Partial]

Too soon to tell, but the team looks good. Problem is the division looks much tougher outside of the two for sure wins against Detroit, and they have a rough schedule with Pitt and Baltimore. Both of those will be losses imo.

12-4 which surprised me as when I think of the team and how things went last year I was leaning towards 10-6.

[Bretsky]

10-6 or 11-5

I'm going to be a realistic optimist and go 11-5

[retailguy]

Even with a Pessimist - Optimist slant (in contrast to my usual Optimist-Realist - will I be forced to relinquish my card?), the schedule is very favorable and looks like 11-5 to me. NFC North champs looks very attainable, anything less than a wild card berth will be disappointing.

[Waldo]

Waldo took a big chug off the green and gold Kool Aid jug

[oregonpackfan]

I'm still going 10-6 with a sweep of the Vikings!

I also predict that in the second game with the Vikings, Favre will be the #2 quarterback behind Tavaris Jackson. :shock:

[MOBB DEEP]

Pack 11-5

Vikes 11-5

Bears 9-7

Lions 3-13

vikes @ pack for nfcc

[Merlin]

10-6 - New defense - I suspect some serious over pursuit issues against the run outside the tackles and also some coverage issues with the LB's - All growing pain related. McCarthy has to stop being predictable with his offensive play calling or he will blow a couple of games as he has done each season he has been with us.

The Vikings? I expect that if Favre all of a sudden gets conservative and does a John Elway and let the running game carry him, that will be a hard train to stop. He is smart enough to do that, but will his competitiveness get the better of him? Probably. They already have an excellent run stopping defense and not many teams passing games are going to fool them when they can pin their ears back and rush the passer all game. Their record is hard to predict, I think a lot of that rests on Favre as he is the only piece new to the team (for the most part) and Childress is an idiot so he can be relied upon to blow a game or two himself. If Favre plays within the confines of the running game, I say 12-4, if Favre remains erratic in his drive to make a play, 10-6.

The Bears I think are even harder to predict. They finally have a QB but Cutler isn't making any friends in Chicago. That isn't leadership and is a recipe for disaster. Their defense will still be formidable but no better than Minnesota's. I think the Packers will take both games from them. 9-7 for them is within reach, but that all falls on Cutler and his mouth.

I Expect the Lions to be marginally improved, meaning if they win 1 game they are already 100% better than last year. Look for them to upset a few teams, 5-11.

Looking back I should have clarified.

preseason 2-2

Too many of these younger guys need a good play-off lashing to get their motivation straight.

[AV David]

"I'm still going 10-6 with a sweep of the Vikings!

If he is #2 QB, he will be watching the game from a sofa in Hattiesburg. MS.

The day he is demoted is the day he quits.

That's a game up from 3 years in a row of 9-7.

[woodbuck27]

I looked carefully at this and we'll do very well this season. So will the Vikings and the Bears. The Black and Blue division will return. I believe we'll either win or come second in the NFCN. Our record will be no worse than 10-6.

Of couse that's given that we don't face an unfair advantage of too much adversity.

OK Packers 10-6 record.

I'm sippin your same jug of kool aid. I'm saying 13-3, but I agree with you. I think this Packer team is going to be truly dominate.

I think they will be pretty good too. I'm guessing 11-5, just because I think the division and the NFC will be tougher too.

[SnakeLH2006]

Just got the Sporting News today....I laughed cuz Favre's buddy Marriucci wrote the article on the NFC North pretty much saying Brett is the best player in the division. He said Vikes 11-5, Pack 10-6, Bears 9-7, Lions 3-13.

I say Pack 11-5 with an easy schedule...Just too much potent firepower on O and skills on D (barring injuries)...

That goes out the window if ARod gets hurt week 1 for the season....then 1-15. :shock:

The Packs offense is the best in the division but the problem on D is two of their preseason stars, Jenkins and Jolly, have historically had a tough time staying on the field. If they stay healthy like 2007, this team should be in the postseason.

[Partial]

12-4, this team has talent at every single position. Of course, players at key positions are injury prone. If they stay healthy, then they will be a playoff team. I still think they should look to add another DE to the fray and ditch one of the corners or FBs.

[MOBB DEEP]

Sports Reporters was very interesting today....

Bob Ryan stated that Lord Favre will have a few special moments this year (e.g., 6 td game v. Cards last yr) but that the season will end in tears for Minny as Favre throws the big pick - lol. Says that at this point its a "given" that aaron is great

Mike Lupica states that pack wr's are best in the biz and with capers in there he can see a nyg v pack nfccg. He noted that rarely does a player replace a legend like favre and does SO great (I gave example of Montana/Young in another thread and cant think of any more.... . Says minny wont win b/c brett will do what he's been doing for a few years; lose the game b/c he will "throw the ball up in the air..." Thus pack will win nfcn, which is the new nfc east what with all the stud qb's - making it the most compelling group in the sport!

William Rhoden states that Minny is the class of the entire nfc b/c they are "loaded." But he feels that Tavaris will take over for favre after favre gives them 6 good games. Says he's not drinking the favre kool-aid at all and that chilly was "desperate" for bringing him in

30 years in the wilderness (I lay no claim to the fan suffering) and it takes Harlan, Wolf, Holmgren, Favre and Reggie to get people to pay attention to the Packers.

Now people can't shut up about the 6-10 team with Dom Capers. I hate winning the offseason. God forbid what the chattering class says if T2 signs another name FA.

LOL! Favre isn't even the best player on his TEAM (Adrian Peterson is). Good grief. :roll:

He's not even in the top 3, thanks to Kevin Williams and Jared Allen. Top 5? Maybe. But Pat Williams and Steve Hutchinson are both great players that are a really important part of that team, as are E.J. Henderson and Antoine Winfield. Favre makes it somewhere in the "top 10 best Vikings" though.

I second that PB; something feels a lil amiss with all the hype BEGINNING to surround the pack after such a paltry showing last yr. I guess thats what happens when u lose alot of close games, shore up your biggest weak spot (D w/stud capers), and look SO crisp in the preseason.

I forget who said it but it was said that after last year's nonsense the pack has proverbial chip on shoulder and that its common for this to work in reverse for teams like minny, et. al who often rest on their accomplishments/hype after fair showing the previous year; this is mostly evident with inconsistent programs like bears and raiders. Not so evident with great orgs like Pats and Steelers...makes sense

At this point, I think it's impossible to say how good Favre is. The general consensus seems to be that he's pretty beat up, rusty, and immobile. But who knows? A lot of that is conjecture based on the reports of his surgeries and a few plays with a new team after being in camp for a few days. I would guess - unless Favre is injured right now, or gets injured - there will be games where he'll play outstanding and others where he'll look like an old QB. As long as he's controlled and doesn't heave a bunch of moon balls, Minnesota will be tough to beat. Damn.

Sorry PB, Sterling Sharpe called pack best team in nfl....i LOVE how he ALWAYS gives us dap

He and Brian Baldinger say Aaron MVP

Ster, Brian, and Joe Theisman all pick pack to beat FIB's :oops: 8-)

[3irty1]

15-1

Its the only winning record that nobody said. I'll also add that the game they lose will be on Thanksgiving. After that embarrassment they'll steam roll the rest of their schedule and the next non-blowout will be the NFC championship. By week 10 Vikings fans will be watching Colt McCoy highlights. AP will come back to Earth before being sidelined and Chester Taylor will propel me to a fantasy championship. I'll put my winnings on a 55 bet superbowl futures parlay predicting every minutiae of the game (which is between the Pats and Packers btw). After I win my last bet because Al Harris adds Tom Brady's spine to his spine pile, I purchase the Minnesota Vikings, move them to LA and rename them the "LA Glitter Queens." I also have constructed a 200 foot animatronic billboard of Aaron Rodgers giving a "suck-it" which will be visible for those Eastbound on I-94 somewhere around Menomonie, WI.

To me, this is one of the most fascinating questions of the NFL year. Can Favre stay under control and be the game manager that he says he will be? He certainly appears, in the interviews I've seen and read, to be rather subdued - he's lost that jaunty joy it seems to me. So if he stays all quiet and subdued, does that mean he'll morph into Joe Game Manager? Will he stay that way all season? Will he get frustrated at some point with the game plans and chomp at the bit? Will he try to go back and forth between these two modes as the game conditions deem necessary? If so, can he do that?

It'l be fascinating.

Way to panick after 1 loss!

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Way to blame panicking for outright stupidity. :wink:

[mmmdk]

I didn't puss the panic botton I think Packers Team and coached did so!

I was in losing season mode prior to the majestic Packer preseason had me drinking too much c´kool-aid; you can't "McCarthy fix" this OL and DL in a jiffy!

Football is still won in the trenches.

[mmmdk]

Way to blame panicking for outright stupidity. :wink:

Let's hear your bold prediction...time to shine Ty or become stupid too Ty. We'll know in january in Arizona.

[MOBB DEEP]

lol at the bumpn of this thread after 1 loss

[Dabaddestbear]

M. Irvin just said he sees the pack being a dynasty over the next several years! YES!
And then he went into the back room to take a few more pulls from his crack pipe.

I have been solidly in the 9 or 10 win category.

My picks speak for themselves.....Ty the Greek thread is on record. And, the record is GREAT!!!

[mmmdk]

Why are preseason predictions rated higher than looking at réal games? I got carried away too, like so many others, that's because I'm mostly a fan in off season and a critic during season - the W-L's rarely lies.

Packers OL is overrated by those responsible for rating them: coaches, scouts & GM. The average fan can see the piss poor talent at OL. Even our DL is overrated. Our trenches aren't good'n'deep enough. Packer reality sucks. A trade should happen (I'd give it 10% and whatever team would have to be paid handsomely).

TT has really tried helping the DL (Harrell & Raji) but no effect so far. The OL help has been terrible.

Even Steve Young couldn't get the Pack a win vs Bengals. Old BF would have been killed; the young BF, well, he was a rare gunslinger so who knows?

How will McCarthy & TT fix the OL & DL? PRACTICE...PRACTICE? Or more preseason games to spike the average fan???

This season anything less than a NFC north title and I am greatly disappointed.

I'm surprised I actually picked us to lose to the piss poor Bucs. Something about the Packers sucking at Tampa Bay all the time I guess.

Anyway, everyone still feel good about their picks. I still think this team has the potential to go 12-4 like I predicted. We "should" win at Detroit. Baltimore and Pittsburgh don't look unbeatable like a lot of people think. Hell Pitt just lost to KC yesterday. Cutler is shit, as is Seattle, and Arizona has sucked ass at home this year.

[Fosco33]

Bump - time to own up (presuming Packers finish this game w/ a W).

Mark it down (confidence in parenthesis).

11-5 (home 7-1, away 4-4)

So I got the season end correct and 13 games right overall. The TB loss was my best prediction and the Vikes loss and Bears win my worst.

6-2 at home (close)
5-3 away (close)

[Kiwon]

Didn't predict this year (and glad I didn't...)

It was the tale of two halves...

The Packers are rolling now. Early in the season, it didn't look like Rodgers would finish without going on the IR. He was getting killed the first half. Thank God they got the OL turned around.

[Bretsky]

10-6 or 11-5

I'm going to be a realistic optimist and go 11-5



:bclap:

[ThunderDan]

My computer program came back with this answer:

12-4

Darn Pittsburg making an amazing TD with time running out!!!

[Fritz]

I said 34-12 or something. Clearly I was wrong.

But look how many of you were right, not only about the record but about the Packers' weak point being the offensive line. Wow.

Sages on this board.

[pbmax]

12-3-1.

CROSBY! :x
I claim to have predicted the only reason for my faulty prediction!

Still, pre-season kool-aid tastes great. And they were not that far away. No complaints.

[Scott Campbell]

11-5. This looks to me like a very good roster. It'll be interesting if I still feel this way after the weekend.


Nice call Scott.

[Scott Campbell]

I'm thinking 11-5, but I don't have a game by game analysis.




Correctamundo.

Actually, you were pretty close on the winning percentage. Well done.

[Merlin]

For all of you who think I somehow am not a Packers fan because I don't drink the Thomspon koolaid, I think my 10-6 prediction was pretty close. The defense really became a force to be reckoned with in the second half of the season so they gelled sooner than later which is always good. The offensive line has actually started to play the game after Tauscher returned (smartest Thompson/McCarthy offensive line move - EVER). Rodgers played well most of the season but the three games before Arizona I think he played just "ok", not bad, not great. Against Arizona he looked like a Pro Bowl QB and his play deserves that nod.

The only concern I have is all of the cockiness I heard yesterday after thumping Arizona. The fans I was around were happy to turn around and go back to Arizona and think it will be another blow out.

I have no doubts that the Packers are the hottest team in the NFL next to the Chargers right now. They are heating up at the right time and everything seems to be clicking. If we overlook Arizona, it will be a long off season and many fans are doing just that. Outside of being over confident going into this game and that biting us in the ass, the only other team that I believe stands in our way is Minnesota. Say what you want about beating a team three times in one year. Historically the losing team has lost 12 out of the 19 times it has happened. We would be playing Minnesota in the dome, where they play the best football on all sides of the ball. The only thing we would have going for us is that Favre has historically choked in big games the past 9 seasons. I like our odds better not having the playoffs run through Minnesota no matter how much fun it may be to some, smart money says we are better off going through New Orleans, Dallas, or Philly.

[HarveyWallbangers]

The only thing we would have going for us is that Favre has historically choked in big games the past 9 seasons.

Well, I think the thing we have going for us is that our OL and defense are playing much better than earlier in the season. The OL has solidified with Wells and Tauscher, and the team has now adapted to the 3-4 scheme. I think we'd give them a real battle and there would be a lot of pressure on them. They are a good team, but so are we.

However, I'll take it one game at a time. Packers at Cardinals. It will be a tough game.

Damn Queens wrecked my prediction!

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Well, mmmdk, it was time for Ty to shine! Said solidly 9-10 wins. Predicted the second half of the season playing out almost right.

Never changed my predictions EVER.

Damn, i'm good.

[Scott Campbell]

I'll be conservative and say 10-6 but thirteen wins would not surprise me


Hmmmmmm. So you guessed 13-3, 10-6 and 11-5. Congratulations on nailing it.

[pbmax]

For all of you who think I somehow am not a Packers fan because I don't drink the Thomspon koolaid, I think my 10-6 prediction was pretty close.
I can't speak for everyone, but I am not confused by the KoolAid stance. The Jets hat, however, is giving me pause. :)

[SnakeLH2006]

All this talk....Snake said 11-5 to start the year. Find it. Who cares? I thought we'd win the division with it, but now gotta win it on the road. We are still 11-5.

[MichiganPackerFan]

I'm thinking 11-5, but I don't have a game by game analysis.
:wow:

[mmmdk]

10-6 with sweep of Bears!

Oh year [can't believe I predicted a Packers win season] but Bear sweep was sweet. Now sweep those Zona birds too :lol: PRETTY TWEET !!!
