I'm thinking offensive play calling was the reason because Rodgers numbers were too damn impressive.<br /><br />Given the same coaching and hopefully a still impressive Rodgers a should be 9-7 team is still only 6-10. +2 for defense yields 8-8.<br /><br />Even Favre could only go 8-8 with Ray Rhodes.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07014233410007615111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413451422114161954.post-6269686957186016112009-09-12T19:09:57.736-05:002009-09-12T19:09:57.736-05:00the packers were the best 6 win team in nfl histor...the packers were the best 6 win team in nfl history last year (419 PF, 380 PA). they have a really weak schedule and should be improved on defense.<br /><br />my only worry is the coach, who seems like a good preparation coach, but really, really terrible with game management.<br /><br />they were really a 9-7 caliber team last year. give them the 2 wins you credit their new d scheme with + 1 for easy shedule - 1 for shitty, shitty coach.<br /><br />11-5.ahrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352390668107164487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413451422114161954.post-77924819779221998682009-09-12T08:54:55.300-05:002009-09-12T08:54:55.300-05:00Interesting.

I see the Vikings being the wild card after losing the last game of the season and thus going 10-6.<br /><br />Have the Packers really improved by three games? I think two based on defensive scheme. Personnel wise i don't see how they got better. Indeed if Anybody gets injured i don't see very capable second stringers to fill in. The Packers seem strong but very brittle. 8-8.<br /><br />I think the Bears lose in the NFC championship, either to the Giants or the Saints. Saints look good and the Giants Are good.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07014233410007615111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413451422114161954.post-38073010905458342702009-09-10T10:50:11.577-05:002009-09-10T10:50:11.577-05:00i don't think having the bears in the superbow...i don't think having the bears in the superbowl is ludicrous, but i ain't buying it either.<br /><br />jay cutler just isn't that good. he's better than who they had, but he still throws a lot of picks, and it isn't like he's throwing to brandon marshall and eddie royal anymore.<br /><br />i also question their d a lot. love forte though.ahrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352390668107164487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413451422114161954.post-78654097746373217222009-09-10T10:34:54.445-05:002009-09-10T10:34:54.445-05:00First of all, if you think that having the Bears i...First of all, if you think that having the Bears in the Super Bowl is ludicrous, I might remind you that the Bears were in the Super Bowl 3 years ago behind Rex Grossman.<br /><br />Second, the Bears defense can still be very good. I grant that it is old and injury prone, but it still has dominant playmakers at many positions. Their secondary has been decimated by injuries this year, but if they get 2-3 guys back, I expect them to be a top-flight defensive unit.<br /><br />Third, the Bears have gone 11-5, 13-3, 7-9, and 9-7 over the last 4 years, all with terrible QBs. The Bears have been consistently good, and now they add a very good quarterback to a team that went 9-7 last year.<br /><br />I could see a scenario where age catches up with the defense and they fall apart, but I suspect they have one more run in them.<br /><br />And, of course, this is what I think <i>will</i> happen, not what I <i>hope</i> will happen.PaulNoonanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01600099270280639424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413451422114161954.post-26918789957100733202009-09-10T09:47:08.421-05:002009-09-10T09:47:08.421-05:00Bears?!?
