Predict the Packers 2007 record - post draft

[Bretsky]

No skies are falling
But in all probablity no playmakers have been added.

We'll have another OK season and our talent seems to be reloading for a few years from now

[RashanGary]

DRiver is a playmaker, Favre still makes big plays, Jennings showed signs of being a possible playmaker. The new RB and Morency teamed with the improved line seem like a good start for the running game.

The defense has the same coach, the same players and a lot of improvement in depth and in starters just from youth advancments.

I don't know how it's going to pan out but the only player we really lost was an over 30 RB but we replaced him with a young set of legs who knows how to run in our scheme.

I think the team is better. Playmakers can be on either side of the ball and we have a couple defenders *Hawk, Woodson, Harris, Harrell* that could be playmakers. Add that to Favre, Driver and possible Jennings and you have a pretty strong group.

I don't think SB but I think we can compete for the playoffs if healthy.

Driver is not a playmaker in the red zone. Neither is Jennings. They are nice WCO receivers to move between the 20s. We need a guy with 6-3 or 6-4 size though to be a threat in the red zone. Moss or Jarrett were guys who could fill that need. Thompson needed to get one of them.

The running game will not be any better in 2007 after losing Green. Green still has something in the tank. We are better off 2-3 years from now at RB, but we are worse off in 2007.

I'm just not convinced TT has the ability to identify potential playmakers and the balls to go after them when needed. He drove Javon Walker out of town, and hasn't replaced him with anyone with a talent level comparable in Walker's pinky finger.

Ouch.

[Tony Oday]

Bah we will rock this year. This is unadualterated kool-aid time folks!

[J-Rok]

Everybody perk up. Have you SEEN Harrell's highlights? I saw at least three INTs by him. That's three oppurtunities for a touchdown. I'm pretty sure we can at least get three field goals with our brand new nutty kicker.

: )

You think it's just my "bad attitude", right? Actually, I've been thinking this for quite a while. I don't see a competitive squad in 07, but if we see improvements, maybe by the end of the season. I don't see ANY wins right now before the bye week, except perhaps the Giants in week 2.

The beauty of this, is, I'd love to be wrong.... Just don't see it today, or last week, or last month, or next week either.

Who said you had a bad attitude? 11-5 baby!! You just need to share some of my drinky.....wait, I mean kool-aid :P

Ack. I think we'll be fine. We have RB by committee, and much as I loved Ahman and wanted him to stay, I think we'll do ok there. We were a bit porous against the run last year and Harrell should help out with that, no? Jennings will come back healthy and get back to the form he was in before the injury and we'll grab a TE before the start of the season for insurance against Bubba drops.

(wow it does really help when there's tequila in the kool-aid! who knew...)

Spend some time looking at the schedule. Then take it a step further and look at positional matchups, and what some of those teams have done this offseason...

That did not go so well for me.

Perhaps it will go better for you.

You sounds like TT with the I think we'll be fine stuff.

How bad were we against the run after Jenkins was plugged in a DE instead of KGB ?

Pass me the Tequila; I don't need the Kool Aide

Be careful what you drink, MJZiggy! That combination sounds like potential trip to the Emergency Room for stomach-pumping time!
