Having not yet even seen GB's 2017 Draft picks , or even completed the teams OTA's , or even seen any preseason performances , it is crazy to predict GB's 2017 record this early.

Teams that are thought to be the greatest challenge probably will be, teams that are thought to be easy wins may not be , and teams that should be easy wins probably will be. GB's 2017 opponents will have to deal with injuries, unexpected bad luck, etc. It is just nuts to make such a prediction this early . [nono]

Hey, Ted Thompson could have a heart attack . [thumbup]

A problem with fans. They demand ROOKIES ... kids from college entering the professional ranks to win games for their team in their rookie campaign. You don't need to know the rookie class to make guesses on the outcome of games. Give me a break! lol ... Grow some balls and throw down some prediction/guesses!! Here at PH, we aim to have FUN, not worry about being "RIGHT". My goodness, lighten up.

It's not hard to look at last years teams and project how good they will be this season. Professional sports teams however do change from year to year. GB could actually get some CBs that can cover WRs . This team or that could show better than most think they will. It's not just about rookies either, but they do sometimes factor in heavily (ex: Dallas with their rookie QB and RB) . Other factors include 2nd or 3rd yr players that are called upon to step up and fill starting positions, Preseason can show how well they perform. In addition, players from other teams will get cut, some are actually worth signing.

Have all the fun that you want, run down the street naked if you want, express your opinions about teams / players all you want to. IMO, it's just too early to to make predictions about final records. The experts favor GB to win the NFC North in 2017, what seed they will have in the playoffs depends upon GB's 2017 Defense or lack of one .

Going with 10-6 this year.

So, we could see 10 wins or as much as 14 wins, the outcome will be the same in the post-season. At least, that's how I feel about the defense in its current (err left from last season) state.

Because of suspect defense they will drop a couple of games they should win. For what ever reason the offense won't be able to do it all a few times during the year.

According to some, including Packers Inc, it doesn't matter if GB wins the Super Bowl. After all only 1 team is going to do that. Just making the playoffs is enough to satisfy the majority of the fans and that will keep the dollars rolling in.

Anyone who objects will be labeled "Spoiled" and told to go suffer with the Browns fans.

This early in the year people too often look at the new schedule and base their predictions upon last years version of this years opponents. Let's take the Bengals as an example .

Cincinnati has lost players to retirement as well as Free Agency . In the recent draft they picked up RB Joe Mixon and WR John Ross, two players that some my well want on their fantasy teams this year. Yet too many are discounting them to the loss column vs GB. As for me this team may just be a whole lot tougher than many think .

Greater investigation and reports will shine a better light upon all of GB's 2017 opponents. IMO, predicting their record this early is much like picking a number on a roulette table . [twocents]

Coming from someone that moves members post to a new thread , your set is big enough to fill Lambeau Field by yourself .

Differing opinions should be the foundation of this forum, yet you look on them as a threat. Try looking in a mirror sometime Kevin and one day you may discover the flaws that have shaped your life . Arrogance and demanding things be as you always want them is not an appealing quality. People can usually quickly see through the phony persona to the real you.

Prediction :

Kevin - 0

Life - 100 and never relenting

Mr. Smokey, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Predicting The Packers record after The Schedule is released has been a staple of this forum since I have been a member.

All for fun.

If someone does happen to get it right, they have those bragging rights for the off season.

Predict The Packers record, put it in the other thread, where it belongs

I'm guessing this thread is for over analyzing the other topic!
😄😄😄😄😄


I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

dfosterf (19h) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (21h) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (21h) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (21h) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (21h) : Against tbd
dfosterf (21h) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (22h) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (22h) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (22h) : Ugh... kids these days!
dfosterf (22h) : I'm gonna go do some more mock draft hell instead 🤪
Zero2Cool (22h) : Did we do one of those prediction threads yet for 2024 season?
dfosterf (22h) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.

dfosterf (23h) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.

Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Packers sign another Kicker

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Shouldn't be penalized cuz official screwed up
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
