I'd prefer the Saints either don't get to the playoffs or lose quickly.  I am greedy, I want the Pack to get a better 1st round pick from them!!! 

That said, they really are a likeable team for the most part.  I've sort of resigned myself to the fact that the Pack will quite possibly end up with the #32 pick from them to finish off last year's draft day trade.

If Pack don't get right in AZ @ GB, well then....

I think they will win 4 of the last 5 and create at least the perception that that are headed in the right direction. Arizona, NY Jets, this year's version of the Falcons, and the semi-tanking Lions are likely wins. I think they lose the Bears and end up 8-7-1. 

8-7-1 would be an ironic record because those of us fans who have a vivid memory of the 1978 Packers their record was 8-7-1.  Who did they lose to on Thanksgiving weekend?  Yep the Spermheads and who did they tie? Yep the Spermheads.

I remember that season vividly! That was the first season I started watching/paying attention to sports and what a year it was:

  1. Pack 8-7-1, which at that time, was a great season.
  2. The birth of Bambi's Bombers with Crew coming out of nowhere with a 93-69 record.
  3. The early stages of the Don Nelson-led Bucks.
  4. Heck, even Badger football was over .500.

Yep, I remember '78. Near highlight was 8-7-1. We didn't whine about it either; we rejoiced. 

1968-69 records: 6-7-1; 8-6-1

1970s records: 6-8; 4-8-2; 10-4 (lost in division round); 5-7-2; 6-8; 4-10; 5-9; 4-10; 8-7-1; 5-11. Two winning years in the '70s. 

1980s: Two winning years ('82: 5-3-1; '89: 10-6). Four(!) years of 8-8, including three years in a row; two years of 4-12; one year each of 5-10-1, 5-9-1.

Those were the days... when I said, "My heart bleeds green-and-gold, and these days it's bleeding a lot!"

Same here.  I have to thank the 1978 Packers for making me a fan for life.  I did watch a little bit of football in 1977 but all I ever remember are Cowboys/Steelers/Broncos games.  The '78 Packers were mostly a fun team to watch even though they got destroyed when they went up against some of the better teams like Raiders and Cowboys.
