7-10...and I am not being sarcastic here...if so, that record DOES NOT mean they aren't heading in the right direction.  Sometimes you have to play youth and have growing pains, but that investment should pay off in subsequent years.

I suggest we all look at performances along with the demonstrated  (pro-level) potential and not grade the year simply on record.

I am interested in winning super bowls, not division championships

I could be totally wrong, but it's that first quarter that seems to have the most questionable games, of which way do these go.

But if these guess are correct, Packers might finish 3rd in the division and make the playoffs. Though, the AFC West and NFC South might not be as weak as they were last year.

I'm nervous as I don't trust the coaches to be prepared for changes.

Like LaFleaur after the Chiefs game that Love started, took the blame for not having a Jordan Love game plan in place. Which I still believe was LeFleuer falling on the sword a bit for Love not knowing how to handle cover 0 and what the hot routes to go to, but also LeFleuer not realizing that Love didn't know that ahead of time, and preparing for cover 0 which gets throw at young guys more often than proven veterans, and I think there could be more growing pains like that, where LeFleuer doesn't yet realize what his young players don't know yet. Also, after last year, I simply don't trust the defense to make adjustments in a timely manner.


First two weeks will be interesting, as the Bears probably have the most offensive personnel changes of any team and the Falcons might have the most defensive personnel changes. And both have a former Packers coach helping that side of the ball. Really no clue how these games might go.

Saints have a new QB in Carr, but I believe RB Kamara will be suspended, and they're clearly rebuilding that DL .. I'm thinking run the ball as much as possible this game.

Lions have strong lines on both sides and I think that gives a lot of teams troubles.

Raiders, got the former Patriots QBs, but looking at that roster, I think it looks worse than last year on paper.

Bye week.

Packers haven't won a post bye road game since 2012, or something like that, teams headcoached by Sean Peyton have (so far) always put up at least 26 points, and Packers scored 37 points the one time they beat Peyton's team. Also looking at the Packers vs Broncos history, the home team has only lost once in the entire rivalry, and they had to go to overtime for that.




I guessed Vikings and Packers split them and each win a home game.

Rams are rebuilding and had to tear it down even more than us. Steelers are rebuilding those lines, but they're physical and might punch us in the mouth.

Chargers have issue with the OL for feels like forever, and Packers have a pretty good pass rush.

Chiefs are the chiefs.

Maybe I'm underrating the Giants? But then again, they stayed healthy last year, when usually they seem pretty injury prone.

Buccaneers seem to have too much questions on offense.

Panthers have a rookie QB and have had questions on the OL and traded away their #1 WR.

Bears still suck.

Assuming Love is healthy...8-9. If he goes down early, 4-13
W - @ Bears
W - @ Falcons
W - Saints
L - Lions
L - @ Raiders
W - @ Broncos
L - Vikings
W - Rams
L - @ Steelers
L - Chargers
L - @ Lions
L - Chiefs
L- @Giants
W - Buccaneers
W - @ Panthers
L - @ Vikings
W - Bears

Further
- The offense will be fine albeit with learning/growing pains.
- The defense will revert to conservatism when the games count.
- After the season Barry will be fired.
- Leonhard will be the new DC and
- the 24-25 campaign will give us a Super Bowl Win.

Ok now that the season is upon us 17-0 isn't realistic.

W - @ Bears (1-0)
W - @ Falcons (2-0)
W - Saints (3-0)
W - Lions (4-0)
W - @ Raiders (5-0)
L - @ Broncos (5-1)
W - Vikings (6-1)
W - Rams (7-0)
L - @ Steelers (7-2)
W - Chargers (8-2)
L - @ Lions (8-3)
L - Chiefs (8-4)
W - @Giants (9-4)
W - Buccaneers (10-4)
W - @ Panthers (11-4)
L - @ Vikings (11-5)
W - Bears (12-5)

I might have one or two games flip flopped, but I'm good with my record prediction. The last time (if you ignore 2015 & 2016) the Packers won 10 games I believe they won the Super Bowl. YOU HEARD ME!!

---

I feel my 10-7 prediction is best case scenario, and they're likely to make some errors and lose two to three close games as the youngest team in the last six years learns and grow (and coaches also grow and figure out what they have and how to best use it, as looks of new players on offense and I think the defensive scheme is getting some major tweaks).


Also, other than the 2017 Rams, the 10 other youngest teams since 2015 have all had losing records. Rams got to 68.75% wins. Interesting then offensive coordinator Matt LaFleaur and Assistant Head Coach and LB coach Joe Barry were on that 2017 Rams team.

Looks like only 4 of the 10 youngest teams since 2015 have gotten to 30% wins. 3 over 35%. Only 2 over 40%. 1 over 45%.

9 wins = over 50%
8 wins = over 45%
7 wins = over 40%
6 wins = basically 35%
5 wins = UNDER 30%

So they need 5 wins to be in the top half of the youngest teams. 8 wins to be in the top 2. And 12 wins to be #1.

I think they can get that #2 spot.
