I don't want a soft schedule. Who cares if we can beat up the little guy? If we can't beat the top teams then id rather not win at all and finally get us a year with a high pick. I'd rather not relive this season again next year.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

The way it is going around Titletown teams will start looking at us as Soft Opponents. I'm sure this hasn't happened in the last 10 years. Funny thing with schedules... you never know what team will come out swinging in any given season.

Our own 2010 season comes to mind. Two of our losses came with Flynn starting, but we didn't look dominant. Didn't even win the division. I agree with you that we didn't look as bad as we did this year (the offense and defense both ended up in the top 10), but with Jordy back and a couple of rookies in the fold, I certainly think we could be a competitive team if you get into the play-offs.

What do you really win by only facing the top teams? We're not a doormat, so we wouldn't go below 7-9, most likely, but chances would be slimmer that we make it to the play-offs.

The whole "they haven't beaten any winning teams" argument never made sense to me. The majority of games will be played against mediocre or losing teams. 32 teams in the league, only 12 make the playoffs. That leaves 20 teams that usually aren't very competitive. Highly unlikely any team's schedule would ever be very strong.

I don't pay any attention to what a teams record was one season to determine how good they will be in another. there are always to many questions and changes.

Dallas likely won't be missing Romo for 10 games and Dez for 9.
NYG, Philly who is going to be coaching those underachieving teams.
What will Luck come back like when healthy.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Mucky Tundra (21h) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (21h) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (23h) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I saw that and thought it was kind of lame.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : Packers new locker room is pretty awesome. Great for morale, imo

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Shuffled things on the web server. Hope it makes it faster.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Other times, it's turtle ass

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Sometimes it's snappy, like now.

beast (23-Jul) : Also the thanks/heart takes FOREVER to load, and posting in the shout box takes three times FOREVER!

beast (23-Jul) : Thanks for saying something, I thought it was slow, but assumed it was on my end

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Yeah, I noticed that too. Is it slow for PackerPeople.com too?

wpr (23-Jul) : I don't know what you IT guys call it but the page loading is very slow for me today.
