Well, given the OP.....
BrainDed posted:Saints (W) - I think MM gets them so hyped we'd beat the 85 Bears.
Lions (L) - Adrenalin wears off and reality sets in, we don't have the talent.
@Bears (W) - It's the Bears.
Ravens (L) - Ravens on the decline, but still decent.
@Steelers (L) - IN GB, they would have a chance.
Buccaneers (W) - These guys stink too.
@Browns (W) - Browns, nuff said.
@Panthers (L) - Would have been a tough game with 12
Vikings (L) - We won't be able to score more than 10.
@Lions (L) - Get knocked out of playoffs here.4-6.
If Rodgers pulls off a miraculous return for the Det game, maybe we sneak into the playoffs. As is, I think we go 8-8 and miss the dance.
Lions(L) Adrenalin lasts 2 weeks? 
Ravens(L) Didn't they just lose to the Bears who we are supposed to beat?
Panthers(L) Did you watch Scam throw 3 picks last Thursday?
Vikings(L) We scored more than 10 on the road with an unprepared back-up QB, poor running game due to street free agent OL and several dropped passes.
Lions(L) Detoilet may well be out of the playoffs by then with nothing to play for.
All the games above are winnable. I say we take at least 4 of the 5.
I'm putting in all the chips
I think GB wins 4 at a minimum and if Hundley performs like we think he's capable I still think they win the division at 10 or 11 games. I can't wait for the rematch with the Vikings too.
My bold prediction:
The Packers will have a tie this year.

Clearly they did not hear/see McCarthy's presser yesterday.
Interesting.
Through six weeks, home teams are 44-45 (.494). Since 1970, home teams have never had a losing record.

The Pack won the turnover battle today but still lost handily at home. The D gave up nearly 500 yards on a wet field. The passing game could not even muster 100 yards.
And the Bears are on a 2 game winning streak that I never saw coming.
Hence, I might have to lower my prediction from last Sunday that the team would win 3 of its final 10 games.
That, folks, is what a TT roster looks like minus the greatest QB to ever lace em up.
It's hard to draft at the bottom of the rounds....that may change
1-9. They'll squeak out a win against the Browns or some other garbage team.
Perhaps we should stop the BS game of "I'm a great fan because I'm optimistic."
Here are the facts:
- GB lost the best player on the planet at the most important position in the game. The team is relevant each and every year simply because he plays in GB. Remove him and GB is closer to the Browns than they are the Patriots. It's just that simple.
- The defense is horrible and the ST's isn't much better. Counting on either one of those units to pick up the slack is an exercise in futility.
- I like him, I really do... but I don't expect MM come up with mesmerizing schemes to makeup the difference.
So, what's better for the organization? Squeaking into the playoffs if we're lucky and getting beat right away or losing most of the remaining games, getting a higher draft pick than normal and reload for 2018?
I'm not suggesting GB "tanks" games... however, I do tend to look at things in a pragmatic fashion. Without Arod, the Green Bay Packers are an average to below average football team. I'd just prefer they end up with a top 10 draft pick and reload.
Oh, I'll still watch and pull for the boys... but they aren't winning **** in 2017.

As some of us have been saying for a few years.
If I was AR I'd be holding out for a zillion bucks...he appears to be worth it.
I bet the browns are counting down the days until they play this poor excuse for a team

Perhaps TT, MM, & Dom could kick in a little after all the $ they've gravy trained off his back.
And today Palmer breaks his arm. We had full control of the NFC and this was the year to do it... until last week.
We need to beat the Lions, Ravens, Bucs, and Browns. If we do not they will not let Rodgers back on the field this year even if he's cleared.
Next man up and they can still take the North.
Without Rogers 3-7. BH will not be a liability but he cannot cover for Dom's awful defense. Every close game we need the defense to win with a late stop will not happen.

I'm on board. I was hoping Hundley would show some promise and we could parlay his success into a high pick via trade. He didn't show anything and I didn't see a lot of potential for that to change. We are in full on hope for losses while cheering for wins mode.
Hundley succeeds and they parlay that success into a high pick via trade.
Hundley fails and they parlay that failure into a top 10 pick.
Packers fan wins!
And that high pick guarantees a Super Bowl!!!!
SteveLuke posted:With a significant new variable to consider, namely Aaron's absence, what record do folks see over the final 10 weeks of the 2017 season?
Based upon how MM rallied the troops after Aaron went down in 2013, I predict 3-7.
OK, with home games against the 4-5 Ravens and 2-6 Buccaneers and away games at the 3-5 Bears and 0-9 Browns remaining, the Pack now has to win 3 of those 4 games to meet my apparently optimistic prediction of winning 3 of the final 10 games.
Big game at Soldier Field next Sunday.
Should the Pack lose, we'll be in last place in the NFC North.
Pikes Peak posted:10 and 0
I drank the Kool Ade spewed from the big fellas mouth.
I'm there too. Thought they would be competitive but then remembered Dom is still working his magic. I see maybe a couple of more wins at this point?
Based on last night, I don't know who they beat. They are in real danger of being the only team CLE beats. Can only hope they find a way to improve.
We might beat Cleveland...in Cleveland....maybe
With home games against Tampa Bay and Baltimore remaining and a road game against the winless Browns, I think winning 3 games sure seems doable.
And the Bears still suck!!!
I for one am happy this thread gets dug up once a week to keep us all abreast of where the Packers stand and a reminder that winning games is important. The whole standings thing can get a little fuzzy.
Need to win 2 of the next 4 games to have a shot at 10-6. That assumes Rodgers can come back in week 15 and win the last 3. Still have a lot of tough work to do, but it helps that 3 of those 4 games are against bad teams. Today's win makes everything look a lot less gloomy.
I can't even begin to list the amount of work needed before Rodgers comes back.
Because I'm not expecting Rodgers to be at full MVP level in his 1st game back. Maybe some of you are.
9-4 would be a pipedream. It may be necessary to get into the playoffs.
Better just worry about next week. This win over the Bears didn't inspire confidence...at least not in me anyway.

my Boy friend is NOT going to be the A-12 that we all know and love until NEXT YEAR!!!!!
Encouraged by today slightly that a winning record **** at wild card is within reach. Still holes/problems in all 3 phases that against a superior team we would have.
Grave Digger posted:Carolina is the only game that we shouldnât win IMO. Every other team is struggling with something big, not as big as losing the franchise QB, so there will be a chance. We may not be favored in any game, but I think people are going to be surprised by Hundley. I think with preparation and working on receiver timing heâs going to be just fine. Not Aaron Rodgers, but better than game manager.
The post above got 8 likes for predicting the Pack would win every remaining game, except the one against Carolina, immediately after Rodgers went down in Minnesota, so there was obviously a lot of optimism about the team even in Aaron's absence.
A lot of fans must be in shock that the team is so woeful with Hundley at QB.
Even my prediction that they'd go 3-7 might have been too hopeful. After today I think they'll still be favored over Tampa Bay at home and maybe on the road against Cleveland, so there is still a chance they can win 3 games while Rodgers is out. But if they play like they did today, the Browns are not going winless this season.
Hue Jackson has a hard on, he can't wait.

Well done MP2.
You not only correctly predicted the 3-7 record over the final 10 games after Aaron went down but if you replace Saints with Bucs you even got the exact Ws and Ls right.
Yay

I've never been more disappointed to be right.
Play Cobb at QB. That pass had touch and was accurate.
