And you're a pathetic shithead who is AFRAID to say anything positive about the home team - which as long as Aaron Rodgers is healthy, is competitive with anybody. Yeah, if I was betting money, I'd demand either a few points or some favorable odds to bet on the Packers against the Rams at their place. However, only a God damned anti-homer shithead would claim the Packers don't have a good chance in that game, especially coming off the bye week.

And the worst shitheads are those who leap for joy when the good guys lose because it supports their ballsless "prediction".

The Packers have played poorly through the first 6 games. It took miracle comebacks to beat the Bears and the 49ers, and the 49ers were running with a backup QB. The only team they solidly beat was Buffalo, one of the worst teams in the league, and AR said that the Packers offense played like shit in the game. They've looked terrible on the road against teams that are hardly world-beaters. The next two are on the road against the best teams in the league. The Packers have to play radically better or hope the other team shits the bed if they want to win any of the road games coming up. I'm not saying the Packers can't do it, but they haven't shown it so far. Based on what they've shown, 1-4 or 2-3 is what we can expect. I hope I'm wrong. I hope AR is fully healthy, MM starts scheming things better, and the defensive front seven figures out how to take care of their gap and still make a play on the ball. But I'm not giving a prediction based on hope and blind faith.

Sheeeeesh! What a bunch of negativists!

Are you guys seriously that down on the Packers? Or do you just not have the balls to come out and express optimism?

A lot of fans are really down on the Packers mainly because of their performances in most of the games so far this season. Our only hope for a W this weekend is if the Rams screw up. I don't think we are as dreadful as the score indicated in Detroit but we messed up with turnovers and a kicker who had a terrible game. If the Rams have a few penalties and turn it over ya never know.

With a new DC I never felt we were going to set the league on fire. We should see defensive improvement every week. It didn't help us when AR got hurt in the very first game of the freaking year and then to lose 2 veteran WRs in subsequent games. Perhaps with time to heal we'll play better this Sunday on O.

[Pugger]

I think 3 of them are nohopers... Rams, Pats, and Minn.

We'll be favored over the Dolphins, but not by much; and the Seattle game is a coin toss.

I don't think MN is a juggernaut at all. If we didn't get jobbed in that game we'd be in first place in this division even with all of our issues.

Does anybody wonder if Gutekunst can turn the culture of the NFL so it becomes more open to trading? Can he pry an outside rusher from a team that's out of the running? This might be the chance to get football GM's thinking more like baseball GM's - if your season is already shot, why not dump salary in exchange for future resources (in this case, draft picks)? And if you're a marginal contender, this could, perhaps, vault you into stronger contention. It might make the league more fun.

Can he do it? Or are there too many constraints to allow this to happen in the NFL?

This is an interesting question. It will depend upon what the selling GM will demand for a star player. In baseball a team in the market for a difference maker has to give up at least one coveted prospect. In the NFL the selling team will probably want multiple high picks. There is also the salary cap. That cap most likely kept us out of the running for K. Mack.

Come on. Tell us how you really think. :lol

If these Negative Nellies want to wallow in dispair so what?

You're literally posting in a prediction thread...I've seen you post in several. If you don't like predictions stay out of it. Whiny little bitch. If you wouldn't bet money without a point spread or odds then there is the truth of your prediction. Of course I want the Packers to win every game. You conflate fandom with vapid homerism.

[yetisnowman]

I actually could see the Packers surprising us these next 2 games. Just because they tend to do that when I think I have certain matchups figured out. All signs point to convincing losses, but I think at least one is competitive.

I'm not down on them so much as I realize their talent level is thin. They need everyone healthy and they need a number of rookies to play like veterans to have a shot at the post season.

Is that a hedge of your bet hahahaha? Fandom IS Homerism, but that isn't the point. The point is, this is the same Packer team that was predicted by many in here and many so-called experts to win it all before the season. Now some fair weather fools see it otherwise, yeah, as somebody said, why should I care? I don't know, other than it is damn annoying. Wist I expect to be an idiot - he thinks the whole country is gonna fall apart, literally. The rest of you - with a couple of exceptions who are only about halfway down the toilet, sheeeeesh!

A prediction thread huh? OK, I'll go on record as predicting 4 wins, 1 stumble in the next 5. As I have said many times, any given game, I just would not predict that this Packer team would lose to anybody.

[smuggler]

3 of 5. Probably lose to LAR and NE. Win against the hapless Dolphins and then the Seahawks. Randomly beat the Vikes in a game we should lose (to counteract the tie they screwed us with in a game we should fave won).

[red]

like all of fat mikes teams, here we are almost at mid season, and i still have no clue if we are a good team that can beat the pats and/or rams, or if we are a team that could lose 4 or 5 of the next 5

i really don't know, i wouldn't be surprised either way

I think they find a way to win 3 of 5, slip barely into the playoffs and may even win a game.

What's that old expression? Condemning by faint praise.
