    Those numbers certainly do look great, Harvey.

    The simple numbers of 10-1 also bring a contented smile to my face!

      296 - 185

      That's a pretty good difference.

        Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

          If you go back 15 regular season games, the Packers have the same record (14-1) as the New England Patriots. I thought that was interesting.

              It is one heckuva beauty, Harv--and I hope you'll be able to post an even more beautiful update Friday morning.
              Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.

                Been a great year for the Packers so far.
                Here's to them keeping it going.

                    Most encouraging of all is the offensive evolution they've made since the bye week, as reflected by the typical scores before and after. Hopefully that continues for the last four games and then we can say they peaked at the right time and became a dominant team in teh second half.

                      And it makes for an excuse to calculate this:

                      Pythagorean Win Formula, by taking the square of team runs scored and dividing it by the square of team runs scored plus the square of team runs allowed. For the NFL, the best exponent is 2.37, not just squared. But without my handy dandy Texas Instruments calc, the best I can do on short notice is square it:

                      296 - 185

                      87616/(87616+34225)=87616/121841=.7191011 win percentage

                      Packers Pythagorean Wins: 11 games * .7191011 = 7.91 wins = 8 wins

                      Nothing like beating ALL your expectations.

                        With the correct exponent:

                        719384.96218/(719384.96218 + 236154.91908) = .752857 x 11 games = 8.281427 wins

                        Still beating expectations.

                        Fun with javascript and exponents. OK, I need to get some actual work done.

                          Pack has been unreal this year..Major props to Mike McCarthy and Brett Favre, as well as the rest of the team. They all seem to be doing their part...They don't seem complacent at all either, they just seem to get better every week.

                          PS If I'm a GM and I'm able to get a runningback like Ryan Grant for a sixth round pick, I'll take that trade any day of the week. He's pretty much been the answer to our problems in the running game.

                            Can't be anything but estatic over the record.

                            Man though - that Chicago game stands out. What would people been saying if we'd won that one?????

                            However, I think it's probably easier for the Pack having lost that game. The scrutiny and pressure if they hadn't would be unbelievable - they'd be in a fishbowl. I just wish we'd lost it to someone else
