BETTER, OR WORSE THAN LAST YEAR< WHICH WAY DOES OUR RECORD GO ??

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Going to go anti homer here. I would guess 6-11.

I hope we see a ton of promise from Jordan Love so we have the same hopes as year one when we watched Shitbag play, back when he was a good human being.

A young Butte was cockier than Razor Ramon. Graybeard Butte drinks ayahuasca and goes on darkness retreats, embracing love and disavowing the ego in the afterglow.

I would not call the man who acts like a brash rooster a “good human being.” And even if he ain’t a saint, compared to Bert Favor, Butte reeks of humanity.

Rodgers is a family-size bag of crazy, but he ain't an (alleged) criminal or dirtbag.

In 2008 when Packers went 6-10, they were competitive. They had a losing record because they went 1-7 in games decided by one score. I think it will be similar this year. Whether they have a winning or losing record will depend on how they do in close games. Can the defense hold a lead? Can Love lead a late comeback? Anywhere from 6-10 wins is a reasonable guess.

Crazy, how so? Sure, Butte is into alternative medicine and conspiracy theories. But guess what, perfectly sane folks have been practicing/utilizing nonconventional medicine for eons. And in the immortal words of Fox Mulder, the truth is out there.

I voted better, but. It's likely there will be a lot of close games. I think not having an experienced, clutch outdoor kicker may bite them in the ass.

Streaky, 4 Game losing streak mid-season after hot start. 10-7, WC game on the road.

They have what most consider to be a favorable schedule early, so a hot start will go a long way towards their overall record.

Hopefully they lose the close games. This isn't going to be the year they make a run. I think they're playing for next year. Right now you want to land BJ Raji and CM3 in the 2024 draft.

Quay Walker explodes into a superstar this year

True. There are a lot of favorable scenarios. Winning a bunch and Love being the guy is the top hope. But after that, a lot of good things can happen. Losing enough to get a star QB in the draft is another good option. Losing enough to get a star defender with love showing he’s the guy is another great option.

There are a list of horrible scenarios too. Love being Kirk Cousins good is the worst possible scenario. It means we keep him for a long time, never lose enough to replace him and never have a chance of winning. Ugh!

I see I voted for about the same back in July. I'd revise that greatly upward now.

[bobblehead]

All Rodgers had was Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, James Jones and a rookie named Jordy Nelson.

So the comps go Doubs, Reed, Heath, Watson in the same order. None are quite exact, but each shares traits.

Didn’t you say for like 3 years straight that without Rodgers we’d be mediocre at best?

[texaspackerbacker]

Did I? You'll have to forgive me hahahaha. I'm old and must be getting forgetful.

Love is looking better than I expected - to the extent that I'm guardedly optimistic about him. But the big difference is that the whole team is so loaded with talent that they ought to win a bunch of games even if the QB isn't too great. I'd say about the same if it was Clifford - or maybe even McGough.
