About early predictions (title by Kevin)

Having not yet even seen GB's 2017 Draft picks , or even completed the teams OTA's , or even seen any preseason performances , it is crazy to predict GB's 2017 record this early.

Teams that are thought to be the greatest challenge probably will be, teams that are thought to be easy wins may not be , and teams that should be easy wins probably will be. GB's 2017 opponents will have to deal with injuries, unexpected bad luck, etc. It is just nuts to make such a prediction this early . [nono]

Hey, Ted Thompson could have a heart attack . [thumbup]

A problem with fans. They demand ROOKIES ... kids from college entering the professional ranks to win games for their team in their rookie campaign. You don't need to know the rookie class to make guesses on the outcome of games. Give me a break! lol ... Grow some balls and throw down some prediction/guesses!! Here at PH, we aim to have FUN, not worry about being "RIGHT". My goodness, lighten up.

It's not hard to look at last years teams and project how good they will be this season. Professional sports teams however do change from year to year. GB could actually get some CBs that can cover WRs . This team or that could show better than most think they will. It's not just about rookies either, but they do sometimes factor in heavily (ex: Dallas with their rookie QB and RB) . Other factors include 2nd or 3rd yr players that are called upon to step up and fill starting positions, Preseason can show how well they perform. In addition, players from other teams will get cut, some are actually worth signing.

Have all the fun that you want, run down the street naked if you want, express your opinions about teams / players all you want to. IMO, it's just too early to to make predictions about final records. The experts favor GB to win the NFC North in 2017, what seed they will have in the playoffs depends upon GB's 2017 Defense or lack of one .

Going with 10-6 this year.

So, we could see 10 wins or as much as 14 wins, the outcome will be the same in the post-season. At least, that's how I feel about the defense in its current (err left from last season) state.

According to some, including Packers Inc, it doesn't matter if GB wins the Super Bowl. After all only 1 team is going to do that. Just making the playoffs is enough to satisfy the majority of the fans and that will keep the dollars rolling in.

Anyone who objects will be labeled "Spoiled" and told to go suffer with the Browns fans.

This early in the year people too often look at the new schedule and base their predictions upon last years version of this years opponents. Let's take the Bengals as an example .

Cincinnati has lost players to retirement as well as Free Agency . In the recent draft they picked up RB Joe Mixon and WR John Ross, two players that some my well want on their fantasy teams this year. Yet too many are discounting them to the loss column vs GB. As for me this team may just be a whole lot tougher than many think .

Greater investigation and reports will shine a better light upon all of GB's 2017 opponents. IMO, predicting their record this early is much like picking a number on a roulette table . [twocents]

Coming from someone that moves members post to a new thread , your set is big enough to fill Lambeau Field by yourself .

Differing opinions should be the foundation of this forum, yet you look on them as a threat. Try looking in a mirror sometime Kevin and one day you may discover the flaws that have shaped your life . Arrogance and demanding things be as you always want them is not an appealing quality. People can usually quickly see through the phony persona to the real you.

Prediction :

Kevin - 0

Life - 100 and never relenting

Mr. Smokey, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Predicting The Packers record after The Schedule is released has been a staple of this forum since I have been a member.

All for fun.

If someone does happen to get it right, they have those bragging rights for the off season.

Predict The Packers record, put it in the other thread, where it belongs

I'm guessing this thread is for over analyzing the other topic!

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
