I think after the draft I'd tack on two wins to my overall prediction.

I think 10-6 is a safe conservative prediction. Rodgers puts up pro bowl numbers again. Greg Jennings more than earns his payday. Running back competition instead of force feeding grant produces reliable run game. Defense has its learning curve struggles, but I think we find the mean streak I've been looking for for years. We become a team that gets the lead early then puts the opposition in the sleeper hold. No more need for last second come-backs every damn week. Clearly I believe that the defensive change not only improves the scheme, but more importantly the attitude.

Well, given the EXCELLENT draft, the jelling of the Oline, and the return of a healthy Clifton and Tauscher, Add to that one of the easier schedules in the NFL, Packers win the first 16 games...

the second half of this prediction to come later...

As much as I'd love a 16-0 season, what I'd love even more is a SB win, even if it means going 9-7 and barely sneaking in the Playoffs.

Well, since you already posted the 2nd half of my prediction, i have to accuse you of being in my head, a mindreader, a psychic.

Ok, enough. I'm going off to sleep.

To me, the schedule would seem to be in our favor very well. There's not one game of the first 8 we SHOULD lose. The only three that should be close are the Bears, and Vikings twice. We should handle the Bengals, Rams, Lions, Browns, and Bucs...And we should probably take both home games with the Bears and Vikes to put us at 7-1.

Or maybe my expectations are too high?

You can never go too high.

This seasons NFC North will be a bloody battle to the last I'll say that..... with the Pack coming out of top of course.

As long as this team stays healthy we shouldn't even have any major problems against the bears.

Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

This is pretty much what I was/am expecting. Feasting on pretty bad and/or rebuilding teams and splitting the Bears and Vikings games again. 7-1 over the first half of the season looks fairly realistic.

The real problems come after that, though. Cowboys, Ravens, Steelers and the Cardinals at full strength. Although winnable, especially the Ravens and Steelers game will be really, really hard.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE
