Predict the Packers 2008 record

[GrnBay007]

Can this still turn out to be a cool season? Hell yeah, but it's gonna be tough.

Just like we like it.

That's the spirit KY!

When it's too tough for everybody else, it's just right for the Green Bay Packers. It's time for us to slick back our ears and haul ass.

I figured this was a cool thread bump until I saw DBB did it.

5-11 just to break the trend. Everything hinges on the health of Rodgers, the offensive line and the defensive line. Any one of those 3 fail, we are doomed.

Good One Merlin, maybe ya should change your name to Nostradamus.

Minnesota Vikings - loss

6-10, yikes. I'll take my medicine if they're better, but they have a monster schedule, a hurt DL, and a first-year qb.

Could be....

I said 9-7 last year.

To keep with the mojo I'll say 9-7, though I think 10-6 is more likely.

If anything let's us down this year it'll be the defense, not Aaron.

True, True

Put me down officially for 8-8.

I'm just not seeing many positive signs coming out of training camp right now...which isn't a good sign when you consider how difficult the first half of the schedule is. Our interior OL is a mess. Our starting RB has yet to play a single snap in preseason. Our veteran WR has shown frustration openly in the media. Our backup QBs aren't close to being ready for action. Our DL can't put any pressure on the QB. No rookies have stepped up and made a name for themselves...and many really have done next to nothing.

I think the team will be better by December...but it might not make any difference in terms of success in 2008. By "moving on", the Packers have chosen to take a step back now in order to hopefully take two steps forward in the future.

Kinda Optomistic weren't ya?

Looks like 4-12 to me, but who knows, with a little luck, the developement of a pass rush, and a miracle happening to get good play from the patchwork O-line.......... maybe 6-10.

WoW, am I good or what?

Looks like 4-12 to me, but who knows.......

Looks a lot like the doom and gloom prediction from last year.

Really?

The day we go from 13-3 to 4-12 is the day that I saw off my own balls.

I wouldn't put that in writing. Otherwise someday odds are you'll have pee shoes and be without balls.

Arod, what a game changer!

SI's projected standings -

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/football/nfl/specials/preview/2008/08/26/main/index.html?eref=T1

Minnesota Vikings 13-3
Green Bay Packers 9-7
Detroit Lions 7-9
Chicago Bears 6-10

Shows what SI knows.

Minnesota Vikings - LOSS ---Too much AP and the Vikes D will scare make Rodgers piss himself
@ Detroit Lions - LOSS --- If Detroit can get the running game going its a win. If not that pass happy O will lose to the Pack.
Dallas Cowboys - LOSS -- T.O. Vs the Pack secondary is toast!
@ Tampa Bay Buccaneers - WIN --- I am just not sure if Tampa can put it together against the Pack. QB play may be too suspect for their suspect D to overcome.
Atlanta Falcons - WIN --- QB play too inexperienced against vet DB's on Packers
@ Seattle Seahawks - WIN --- Seattle haven't shown anything in the past two years and I don't see any off season moves that will prove otherwise now.
Indianapolis Colts - LOSS -- Pack pass rush is too nonexistent to get anything going against the Colts. Peyton will eat them alive!
@ Tennessee Titans - LOSS --- Young will feast on the LB's questionable reading of plays.
@ Minnesota Vikings - LOSS --- It was bad enough on opening day, but on turf this defense is really too fast for Rodgers(if he is even still playing at this point)
Chicago Bears - LOSS --- By this time Chicago will have had a solid cohesive unit in the O-line. #1 draft pick Williams will be back on the field at left tackle and help to protect Orton, who will pick you apart if given time.
@ New Orleans Saints - LOSS --- I think N.O. will fall from whatever grace they thought they had at this point in the season. But truly this game can go either way with Bush on their team.
Carolina Panthers - WIN -- Easy win for Packers, no matter who is the QB at the time.
Houston Texans - WIN -- Back to back Packer wins give them optimism towards the end of a season that will regret not allowing Brett to come back.
@ Jacksonville Jaguars LOSS -- Jags will need this win for the playoff race and will trounce the Packers
@ Chicago Bears - LOSS -- Bears defense bounced back this season from all the injuries to the starters last year and look towards the playoffs to many preseason prediction surprises.
Detroit Lions - WIN -- Packers look to be a spoiler just because they had a crappy season and want to take someone down with them..lol.

Packers 5-11

Well thats a homer version if I've ever seen one.

Ya, he was way off!

rt! packers are a GREAT team imho. not sure why so much pessimism around here. WEIRD

Ya, weird!

I'm going to revise my doom and gloom 6-10 to 8-8.

homer. no way are they gonna be average.

No Way?

I was in the car and tuning in a few Milwaukee stations yesterday before the game. Most of those guys were like this thread-DOOM and FUCKING GLOOM.

What is with all the pessimism? Is Brett Favre worth 5,6,7 games?? I dont recall one game he won last year. Maybe he did. What have we lost? Is Aaron Rodgers Cade McNown? I dont think so. The national guys pregame almost universally picked the Pack to win the game last night. What is it? Is it cool to get down on your team? Does it make you seem like you know more than the next guy? How can you say this team will loose 5-6more games than they did last year?

Baffling.

Still Baffled Genius?

Merry X-mas

Hey, I was good in my predictions. Give me some damn props...lol

Sorry, as much as I like to mess with all of the know-it-alls in here, I still dont like giving props to a stinkin Bears fan.

But since it is Christmas,

Awww, you are warming my heart...

[KYPack]

OK.

It's officially a shit year.

DBB and PackerBlues predicted the record accurately.

Oh woe is me, & everybody else.

[Partial]

6-10. Nice. Hit this one on the head.

Member this deal, Kreskin?

[PackerBlues]

OK.

DBB and PackerBlues predicted the record accurately.

Oh woe is me, & everybody else.

to be fair, i was almost totally wrong about the teams they would win and lose against. Shows what I know.

Does anyone honestly think that the Packers will have anything but a winning record next season? This last season can be chalked up to growing pains, life after Favre, whatever. Next season, some of these young guys are going to step up into leadership roles and its going to be a whole different team because of it. (Thats my 2009 prediction, at least until I see what direction Thompson takes the team in the off season. )
