My prediction for next year and playoffs thoughts

[Lambeau]

Arizona, Dallas, Green Bay, Seattle, Carolina and the Giants will make the playoffs. Mark it down! You guys think you will be just as good next year? I almost think the beating you gave us left you guys spent energy wise because the Cardinals seemed to have lost momentum after that. Granted you beat us in the playoffs but I think maybe benching Palmer in the second half of the Seahawks game was a mistake. It seems like when teams sit their starters when they have a first round bye wrapped up they lose momentum in the playoffs. I'm not bashing you guys at all, just saying it has happened to my Packers before and seen it happen to the Colts and Patriots in recent years. If we don't win the super bowl next year I'm all for you guys. I had my Packer fan buddy tell me tonight we would have beaten Carolina had we got past you guys. I was like no way we would have gotten stomped. I don't think either of us would have beaten Denver in the Superbowl. That D destroyed us earlier in the year. You guys definitely have our number though. I will be pulling hard for the Cardinals next year behind my Packers!

Green Bay better get help. Rogers can't do it all as he keeps getting older. If your team is the same you will go down each coming year.

Sorry just JMHO.

There will not be two teams from the East, that division is in flux at the moment... I see the Packers getting in and I see the Vikings being close in the mix, and then some strange stuff which always happens like the freaking Rams getting a wild card because they have a QB which plays decent with Gurley now at full strength with their defense

I see the Vikings getting better. Green Bay better get Rogers help.

Our defense and coaching has killed us in the playoffs not getting Rodgers help. I agree though we need another receiver.

Outside of a new NFC East winner it's hard to imagine the other 5 playoff teams from last year not making it again next year...

Niners - terrible
Rams - still no QB
Lions - no way without Calvin
Bears - terrible
Falcons - pretenders every year
Saints - worst pass defense in NFL history

That leaves the Bucs that I think could surprise some ppl.

The AFC is different. We could easily see 3 different ones besides NE-DEN-PIT.

I totally agree with this. I think the same thing happened in '09.

I totally agree with this. I think the same thing happened in '09.

Disagree. I don't see how momentum can be carried with a bye week in between the next game.

Hope I'm wrong, but I see them fluttering around 8-8 or 9-7 and missing the PO's. This franchise has been doing almost everything right since BASK too over. I think they will finally have a year they struggle and the fans will start grumbling and second guessing BA more than before.

I meant an overall better team not just WR's and such.

The last time the Packers won the Super Bowl was 2010, when they had the #2 ranked defense in the league. Since then that unit hasn't cracked the top 10 and they can't get out of the NFC.

There's nothing wrong with the offense in Green Bay.

I see a team that's window has closed this year and no one told them so they'll try and push on for two more years doing more roster damage in the process.

IMO now is the time to start planning on getting a QBOTF and build the defense up.

Stocking the defense with aging FA's to get a pass rush will work some but not enough to win the SB with this group.

We're built all wrong I agree with you. I think the shine comes flying off BA this year.

I like the guy a lot but Kiem and BA know better defense wins championships what we have is a marketing team that will sell tickets but it won't produce in the playoffs.

Defense wins championships can't say that enough.

Whatever we want to do to this team nothing is going to prepare us to meet next years number one defense and time and again somewhere in the playoffs that will show up and beat you.

We can feast on average defenses but once the heat turns up and they shut down our offense or get it puking up turnovers then we don't have the defense to hang with that.
