I may have to revise my prediction too.
4-4

you my friend, are a dope. And a reason why they wont win them all....well...Because we are going to be playing some teams that are better than we are!!!!!! its that simple.

Thanks! Though I've been called a lot worse.

Unlike you though, I can accept and respect your opinion. I can accept that you feel that there are better teams than us.

Now, can you accept that when I look at a game, I look at it from a point of view of a competitor who is trying to find a way to win? As such, I feel that there is no team that the Packers can not beat.

How about that?
If you can't accept that or any other opinion, who is the real dope here?

I just wanted to say thank you to vikesrule and my darling wife in all the assistance they gave in order that I might comply with the bet... as to the subject at hand, I'm not feelin' so much optimism just about right now....

I have accepted what you have been saying the whole time. I understand what you are saying. But you are a fan and not a player. Just trying to show you what i'm saying. Im a big Brewer fan. 162 games in a season. I know it is far from realistic that they will win all 162 games. BUT I have also played baseball, and if I were a player I would expect to win, and I would go into ALL 162 games, expecting to win. Do you think it makes you a bad fan or something if you don't think that they will win every game? I cant believe that you really think that the Packers could win every game. Would you have the same outlook on it, if your team was the Lions and not the Packers?

I posted what I feel. Every football season, I put myself in the shoes of Packer player, whomever it may be. Look at the schedule, see who we play and decide that there is no one that we can't beat so take it one game at a time and root for each and every player and the whole team like I was a part of that team.

THAT is my comitment to whomever I am a fan of. I do NOT think of you as a bad fan or myself as a better one.

YOU have your way, I have mine.

BTW, I am also a Brewers fan. THIS season, I went into EVERY game that Sabathia pitched in thinking that the Brewers will WIN that game.

The comparison between the brewers and the Packers is a weak one as the two sports are completely different.

I kind of look at sports THIS way. Anything I participate in, I want to win. IF I am on a team, I want the team to win. I want my wife to want my team to win. If I own the team, I want my team to win, I want my daughter to want my team to win. If I LOVE a team, I am going to want that team to win I want my friends to want that team to win.

IF anyone asks me who I think they are going to win the next game, I am going to answer MY TEAM(PACKERS). And the game after that? and after that...? I think you get the point. IF I look at all the games, I think that my team can and should win every game... Thus, my prediction.

Is it realistic? I don't know. How realistic is ANY of the predictions? Who determines realistic?

And if I DO predict all 7 of the remaining games as wins, who is to say that I am unrealistic, unusual, eccentric, dumb, stupid.... or a dope?

Do you think that at the beginning of the season, if I had predicted a 0-9 record for the lions at this juncture in the season that I would have been called realistic? Does it matter? NOT to me.

So I say to you have faith. Packers will win the rest of their games and be on a roll going into the playoffs.

IF I am wrong, I am wrong...

I understand what you are saying. We clearly do not agree on the whole concept. That is fine. So lets just be friends on something that we can agree on. Which was something that you said. We both hope that the Packers win. And there is nothing more we can do. we are both fans of the greatest franchise and tradition on earth. So im sorry for calling you a dope. And if you were here we could watch the next game together and drink some beer. Because at the end of the day we are all just packer fans. Which is unlike anything else!
