Considering the 49ers, a team that fell to the Cardinals twice this year, took the Packers down to the wire -- with a backup quarterback who is 1-10 on his career -- and given how terrible Green Bay has looked on the road so far this year, that projection might be overly generous. It really would not be all that shocking to see Green Bay lay an egg against the Dolphins, Cardinals, and perhaps even the Jets. It's hard to imagine them losing at them to the Lions, a team that just gave up 10 sacks this week -- but then again, the Lions dominated them earlier this season in a game that wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicated, so even that is hardly out of the realm of possibility. Absent a dramatic offensive and special teams turnaround, I think any projection between 1-7 and 4-4 the rest of the way is entirely justifiable.
The more I think about it, the more unnerving it is to contemplate how few plays away from a 1-7 record this team really is. Yes, they've been screwed on a few plays so far this season, but they've also lucked out on a few crucial plays.
