Never too early for these.
What do you think the Pack's regular season record will be?
I think we will drop off quite a bit from last year, I say 10-6.

12-4 Defense needs to step up.
Sent from Phantom Ball phone.
8-8 No Playoffs.
12-4. Division Champions.
LOL....I knew that would livin things up around here.....
Unless the Packers D gets thier shit together, and they can stop getting hurt, I stand by my prediction.
5-11
I'll say 12-4 Division champs.
I like the Benson pick up bc not only does it give us a little depth at RB it also gives us veteran depth. On top of that he's rushed for over 1000 yards what 4 of the last 5 seasons. I think to even come close to repeating the reg. season from last year this team needs to be able to run the ball much better to take pressure off of Rodgers, on top of improving on D. Plus from what I've seen so far in the pre-season this team will absolutely suck ass if Harrell becomes the starter.
Ya I'm terrified of having harrell as our starter. The entire time during the draft I was just waiting for us to grab Russell Wilson yet it never happened. I don't give a shit how short he is the kids gonna be special some day. It won't surprise me if he's the starter/franchise QB for the Seahawks. 3rd round grab for him was pure gold.
I'd like to see them end up around 12-4. Obviously there are exceptions, but I still believe that a couple of losses keeps you hungry... and I said that before the whole 15-1 debacle. :shades
For the cost I think Benson will be a good addition too. If nothing else, just make the other teams focus *slightly* more on planning for the run.
Most of all hoping to see the D tighten it up this season.
Everyone talks about Rodgers going down. Christ what would happen if one of the starting offensive linemen went down? The second stringers look absolutely terrible. It's hard to judge Harrell(still sucks) when the kids constantly running for his life.
7-9
Worse record than the Lions. And that's all that matters to me, lol. I think the Lions will go 11-5.

Unless something catastrophically goes wrong, this team will do no less than a deep playoff run. I say 14-2 and a super bowl victory.
This team has more talent than last year's team, which was the best in the league and went 15-1. Anyone predicting less than 12 wins at this point probably doesn't understand that preseason games are to knock the rust off and evaluate the players that probably won't make the roster. Preseason games are HIGHLY scouted by other teams, to evaluate players that won't make the roster. Thus, there is little gameplanning and everything is very "vanilla". The final score, and even how the starters play, doesn't really matter, as long as they pull it together for week 1. It's not like all the starters suddenly suck.
Everyone thought the Brewers were going to the postseason this year too :P
Just think of the Packers D, as the Brewers relief pitching... I just don't see it.
:rolf Everyone? I certainly didn't think the Brewers were going anywhere this year. Oh and we went 15-1 with that defense last year. The offense has gained weapons as well as the defense and IMO the pickup of C. Benson will be HUGE. The only way we go "7-9" is if Rodgers goes down and in that case it may be worse than that.
Anyone predicting more than 12 wins should realize it's a different year and you can fall just as fast as you rise. Packers went from what, 9-7 to 15-1 in one year? That could very easily reverse and drop us back to 9-7 with minimal roster changes. There are way too many variables to factor in to guarantee at least 12 wins.
I've always thought it was harder TO predict more than 12 wins. There is too much parity in the NFL relative to collegiate sports...where I think it's easier to predict a team going undefeated rather than an NFL team winning 13 or more games. There are always a let down or two games out there that are almost a given to lose...divisional rivals are likely to pick off a game maybe two...and then there can always be the game that the other teams simply plays lights out...
Now, there can be overlap and what not, but I've only once predicted 13-3....they were 11-5 that year.
10-6 and super bowl champs, followed by a dominating 15-1 season. Not exactly a complete reversal of fortune like you're suggesting.
We've got all the pieces in place. Obviously can't guarantee anything, as the ball bounces differently every time it hits the ground and there's a lot of luck involved.
You guys need to realize the first couple pregames meant nothing. Rodgers wasnt even in and they were figuring out who was going to be on the roster! They weren't even trying
In the 10-6 regular season, a lot of things bounced the wrong way for the Packers. In the 15-1 regular season, a lot of things bounced the right way. Thats just how NFL football goes.. even the best team and planning doesnt work out perfect every time.
I just hope Packer fans dont start expecting regular seasons as good as last year was because repeating something like that isnt likely... and IMO theres no reason they have to. Struggle a few times and learn from it, head into the playoffs with an attitude around 12-4 and take care of business.
Sorry I was off by one game. As the above post by MY FYN 79 states, there is not a lot separating a 10-6 season and a 15-1 season (a few bounces/calls here and there). My point is there are too many variables to guarantee at least 12 wins as THE SHAOLIN does. No doubt the Packers are a great team, but again just too many variables.
As long as rodgers is healthy I think 12-4 or 11-5 is what the packers will be at the end of the year as far as the post season goes we have to wait and see what chi and det do. Along as you get hot at the end of the year and make the playoffs you know any team can go to the Super Bowl and win
I dunno where you guys are getting these 5+ losses from. Can someone show me the light?
11-5
0-1 to start.
Last in the division.......for this week at least.
Well, today was loss #1. Safe to say 4 more the rest of the season is definitely possible.Quote:

Yes, we are the only 0-1 team in the NFC north...but we were also playing a team with more 2011 wins than the other three NFC north's opponents COMBINED.
9-7 Unless they can get something going real soon. Thursday will be a good test. I can't blame the refs for yesterday's game. Bad calls sure but get over it. Our offense was non-existent most of the game yesterday.
