Through 6 weeks of the 2016 Regular NFL Season, The Green Bay Packers have won 3 games, lost 2 games, and had a bye week. The victories came against teams that most likely won't make the Playoffs. The looses, IMO, have been to 2 teams that look to make the playoffs.

What does this say about the Packers ? Does it say they can't beat the better teams ? Does it say they can only beat the "easy' teams ? With 11 remaining games (5 home/6 road) , who can the Packers be expected to beat ?
Let's take a closer look .

vs Bears (W)
vs Falcons (L)
vs Colts (W)
vs Titans (W)
vs Redskins (W)
vs Eagles (L)
vs Texans (W)
vs Seahawks (L)
vs Bears (W)
vs Vikings (undecided)
vs Lions (W)

This adds up to 10 or 11 Wins against 5 or 6 looses. IMO this should once again place GB back in the playoffs as a Wildcard team (not the Division Champs).

No one likes to loose any games, but it happens. Also there are times when great players don't play great, but most times they do play great again.

Great Defenses seem to be the stamp of the better teams now. GB does not have an elite Defense now, but they may be by Playoff time. Let us all hope to see both the Offense and Defense are ready to excel in January .

Agree with your wins, and also think they will pull out 1 win out of the Atlanta,Eagles,Seattle,Vikings games.

Assuming we are not playing without our top three CB.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I'm hopeful for the 2nd half of the season, but right now we're working through a lot of adversity and a struggling top-tier QB. I'm hopeful we'll get out of our rut. I just thought that would happen on Sunday, but we have another crack on redemption for a lot of guys on Thursday.

And the Texans and Seahawks will be a tough match-up unless MAYBE the CBs get healthy.
I don't think the Packers will go 4-0 in the division games.

So I'm at 9 or 10 wins right now, I guess. But the defense just need some healthy CBs and the offense could click at some point and do a lot better.

Any idea how long Rollins and Randall will be out for? Watching Gunter get burned against mediocre WRs was unsettling. I think you can maybe get by with Goodson getting significant time but we need at least a couple of our top CBs back.

With the only RB on the roster injured. A QB who is looking very average. WRs who can't get separation on a consistent basis. 3 CBs who are injured Shields likely to not play again.

GB will finish 8-8 or 9-6.

I won't try to predict which games they win because it is the nature of average teams to beat a team that is better than they are getting the hopes of the fan base up only to lose a couple of games to teams they should beat.

I'm only worried about the QB. The rest will take care of itself.
