Expectations for next season

[Bucksfans1and2]

What do you think the Packers record will be and why?

I think 9-7 because we filled our huge needs on Defense, we were better than our record said we were, and I think with another year to develop our young offensive line and by extension offense will be much better. 2nd in Division

I think the Vikings might pick up another WR Not to Mention He Who Must Not Be Named. My pick to win the Division.

Da Bears I think will be about the same. Culer will help their offense but they still have no recievers and their defense is aging. 3rd in Division

I know there's another ream in our division I just can't remember who. Anyway doesn't matter.

I think both the Packers and Vikings end up close at the top with the bears 3rd and Lions 4th.

Depending on how the transition to the 3-4 goes, I would adjust our position accordingly. If the transition is smooth and we stay healthy, I see us getting back to the 10-6 to 13-3 range, especially considering we are heading into this season pretty much better in every position than we were in 07 and we will have a schedule of a 6-10 team and not a schedule of a 13-3 team like last year, which we still played well against with all the injuries, considering we lost 8 games or so by 4 or less points at the end.

If Rodgers stays healthy, he and Jennings will be rooming together in Hawaii next winter, no doubt. I see the Defense transforming from a "Oh I hope we don't blow this game" to a "Don't even try going at him, he'll kill you!" style...Matthews is going to play a big role in that transformation and I am pumped to see it happen! Steelers defense 2.0 coming to Green Bay. I also think Ryan Grant will be much more effective this year without the training camp absence and injury he had last year. Hopefully Nick Collins doesnt pull a Ryan Grant this offseason though!!

As for the Vikes, their O line is diminishing, they lost their captain on the line, their WRs are getting better but who is going to throw it to THEM and not the other team? Michael Vick would worry me but nobody else that might be playing for the vikes or is playing for the vikes will do anything. Plus their secondary is going to be TORN APART by rodgers and Co. twice a year if our line can give him time...we will be back on top of this division if the defensive transition is smooth..go pack

I have us at 11-5. Packers were a pythag 9-7 team last year even with Sanders as the DC and several defensive injuries. They weren't a 6-10 team last year. I think Capers makes a bigger impact than people think, while the offense remains in the top 5 range.
