I'll go along with this. The crazy part? The tie happens in the Super Bowl.

I think that this team should be able to get to 12 wins given the schedule and if they don't have a rash of injuries.  The games I worry about are Dallas, @ Denver, @Rams, and @ Cardinals.  But honestly I think this team should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 12-14 wins and be right there for the #1 seed.  I know I am crazy and in the minority but I want to go back to Seattle in the NFCC game and beat them there. 

My prediction is that before the Super Bowl Tom Brady gets injured and Matt Flynn has to start, making the Pack 12 point favorites. Flynn has a great game but gets picked near the goalline by HaHa who gets pick 6 out of it early in the second half and falls short on his final drive so the Pack wins by 5. Craziest thing is right before the end of the first half Josh Sitton returns a kickoff all the way down to the 12 yard line.  Could be because Bellichick, who bleats after the game "We're no one's underdog!" hires Shawn Slocum to handle his special teams.

If you're bored/have some time, I found a pretty cool season predictor site. (May have been posted previously). Not sure I link'd it correctly, some of the games for future weeks might already be picked. Just click the 'reset all games' button at the top.

 

NFL Predictor

 

Few interesting things I found:

 

1. Atlanta has an incredibly easy schedule. Hardest games are Indy and Minnesota at home and Panthers in Carolina.

 

2. Seattle has no easy road to the playoffs. Road games in Arizona, Cincy, Baltimore, and Minnesota and home games vs Carolina, Arizona and Pittsburgh (rapist should be healthy by then).

 

3. The Week 16 showdown in Arizona is going to be huge and could ultimately decide HFA.

A couple decent drafts isn't helping Atlanta. They'll never accomplish anything with Matt Ryan. He still throws some of the ugliest picks at the worst possible times. Good example was his pick to start the second half in week 1 when Atlanta was beating Philly down. Philly almost housed it and Matt turned another rout into a nail biter.

One of McGinn's sources dissects the roster and makes a prediction.

Four months from now, when the Lombardi Trophy is handed to the winner of Super Bowl 50, Mark Murphy, Ted Thompson and the remainder of the Green Bay Packers will be on the podium to receive it.

That was the conclusion of an experienced executive in personnel for a National Football League team who agreed to dissect the Packers and forecast the season for the Journal Sentinel.

In an extended interview last week, the personnel man assigned a grade to each of the 68 players under contract to the Packers and broke down the roster position-by-position.

Selected because of his level of expertise and success in the NFL, he has watched the Packers this summer, this September and for many years before that.

He's picking Green Bay, which is off to a 3-0 start, to finish the regular season with a 14-2 record and then dethrone the New England Patriots at Levi's Stadium, where the Packers play the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday...

From the article. 

 

Late last week, an experienced executive in personnel for a National Football League team provided this color-coded rating of the 53 players on the Green Bay Packers' roster, the five players on injured reserve, the nine players on the practice squad and the one on practice squad-injured reserve. He has watched tape of the Packers throughout the exhibition season and the first three regular-season games. Players were evaluated primarily on positional value rather than special-teams value.

 

Each player was assigned a color code, which is standard in NFL pro personnel departments. Teams, however, use different colors to mean different things. Blue and red are used by most teams for the top two categories.

 

YELLOW: Below-average backup; needs to be replaced.

 

YELLOW (15): WR Ty Montgomery.

 

Bob doesn't even read the **** he posts anymore.

More on this point:

Atlanta has the most advantageous remaining schedule of any team in the NFL. The Falcons do not play a team with a current winning record for the next nine weeks, and only one of their remaining foes (Carolina, twice) has a winning record this morning. The Atlanta slate:

 

Week 5: Washington (2-2)
Week 6: at New Orleans (1-3)
Week 7: at Tennessee (1-2)
Week 8: Tampa Bay (1-3)
Week 9: at San Francisco (1-3)
Week 10: Bye
Week 11: Indianapolis (2-2)
Week 12: Minnesota (2-2)
Week 13: at Tampa Bay (1-3)
Week 14: at Carolina (4-0)
Week 15: at Jacksonville (1-3)
Week 16: Carolina (4-0).
Week 17: New Orleans (1-3)

Our schedule will decide the shape of the playoffs. We seem to have all the important tiebreaker games: Seattle, Carolina, Dallas, Arizona and possibly St Louis. Beating the AFC is nice, but if we are going to lose games this season, I'd prefer to lose outside of the conference so we own a perfect in-conference record come playoff time. As we saw with games against Seattle the last couple years, that head-to-head tiebreaker or even in-conference tie breaker is critical for HFA!

ATL is 4-0, but they haven't been tested yet. They have won:

26-24 vs PHI (Kelly's D and TOP? PHI D on the field 3:00 more than the next closest team. Eagles will be 7-9) 

24-20 @ NYG (Giants blow a 20-10 4tr lead... Manning missing two wide open WRs on their final drive)

39-28 @ DAL (no Romo, no Dez, no Murray...)

48-21 vs HOU (One of the worst of the have-nots in the ?NFL this season)
