Official 2019 Pick The Packers Win/Loss Record Thread

[bobblehead]

Ok I could use some optimism. Hell I was thinking possible SB run just 2 weeks ago. Seeing them get punked hard in person is what has shaken my faith.

I still think we have a shot, better than I believed at the start of the offseason, less than I though a few weeks back.

Shot to win a playoff game or two but you have to admit that is not the objective. At this stage of Rodger’s career it is looking like the end of Favre’s. I can’t stand the person but I admit he is (was?) a great QB. Like Apollo told Rocky after Clubber Lang got in his head “there is no tomorrow!”. That’s where I am at because time is not on Rodgers, Packers, or the fans side.

Week by week, the negativists are getting eliminated. My 13-3 is looking pretty good about now. And all this talk about wait 'til next year, forget that. With a healthy Aaron Rodgers, we are capable of beating anybody. I don't see us going out before meeting the Niners again at San Fran in the conference finals.

The excitement of the early season success has worn off for me.

I don't see this team making it past the Wild Card round.

There's just something lacking. That beatdown in Santa Clarita really said a lot.

The wild card game will likely be at home against the Vikings. Not an easy win, but a good chance. The following week will be a big challenge unless in the next few weeks they find the secret sauce they've been missing.

Being eliminated is exactly my concern. But not on a fucking forum poll, in the playoffs. It is looking like the team peaked too soon IMO. Had these ugly losses happened in the first half of the season and they had been picking up steam the last few weeks I would be optimistic, not at a kool-aid extremist level like you, but very hopeful. What good is winning the division at 13-3 when the reward is a visit to or from Bosa and his homies?

[texaspackerbacker]

I'm not automatically assuming we lose to the Niners, but 13-3 and losing in the conference finals would be a damn successful season IMO - just like if the Badgers lose to Ohio State again. As I've said many times, I'll take being near the top almost every year over winning it all and then falling back for a decade or so like some teams - the Giants come to mind, probably among others.

[Radagast]

At the beginning of any season, we look at the schedule and say to ourselves this is a strong team or they are a weak team. However the truth is only on display following week 8 or 9.

As it turns out, GB has been fortunate in 2019 to play the AFC West and the NFC East. Losses to the Eagles and the Chargers aside, GB has dominated these two fairly weak divisions. GB's record would be quite different had they had the NFC West and the AFC South on the 2019 schedule. The SF loss only points out how not ready GB is to win a SB this season. While I applaud the current team over the last few teams. GB clearly needs to improve in two areas, WR and Offensive Line play. For me it all boils down to player personal. GM Gutekunst has been dealing with each problem position so far and I'm sure he will do so with these areas of interest as well.

Many variables are involved in a won/loss record. Strength of schedule, injuries, the weather, and luck. GB is having a very good year, but their just not a SB winning team. With a few player improvements they might be contenders in 2020.

WTF?

I agree with this post.

Man getting that close only makes it worse!!

Not so sure about the 10 years. 1996 and 2010 is not as good as 1996, 2006, and 2016 if the price is some crappy seasons in between which we have had. I’m of the mentality that Packers have to capitalize on the end of Rodgers time.

Nice post Rad. Agree that it needs to come together next year cuz I don’t see Rodgers playing until he is 45 (Tex) or maybe even 40.

[MadtownPacker]

WTF?

I agree with this post.

I defend your right to love Tex’s asshole!!

[George Cumby]

Eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww!!!!!

Packers so far this year:

Division: 3-0

Conference (no Division Games): 3-2

AFC West: 3-1

Yep. Its the damn weak AFC West and NFC East that are puffing up the Packers record.

Counting is an underrated skill these days.

[George Cumby]

Rodgers QB rating 102. Better than I thought.

Good enough to win a lot of games. Enough to with the Owl? If the rest of the team plays better, maybe, but I have my doubts.
