The 2016 Packers.... they are not good. A decade of drafting mostly noncontributors in the first round appears not to be working as a strategy. The offense looks real good against prevent defenses, but otherwise struggles to move the ball. The league's top-ranked run defense (at least coming into the Tennessee game) has been exposed as garbage by the two good rushing teams they faced (DAL and TEN).

Luckily the division they play in is also not good. Not sure what their excuses are. Well, Cutler for one team, I guess.

Packers lose fourth straight, 42-24 in Washington, a team they beat by 17 in a playoff game on the same field earlier this calendar year. It was especially exciting when NBC showed a graphic that showed the opposing QB's rating against each of the five members of the secondary this season, and the lowest rating allowed by any of them was 112 point something.

The return of Clay Mathews, and more playing time for Julius Peppers, did not seem to add noticeably to the team's anemic pass rush.

Now 4-6, it looks like Ted Thompson will get to draft a first-round bust a little higher next April than he is accustomed to.

I hear there are some good senior punters.

That was Sherman, predates Ted.

Packers become first team to beat the 2016 Eagles at Philly, winning a Monday night matchup 27-13. The secondary didn't look as horrible as they have in recent weeks, mostly because the Eagles' receivers are not particularly talented.

Somehow the Packers find themselves playing for the division title at Detroit on Sunday night. The Packers have been involved in a lot of close division races in recent years; maybe they set it up this way so they can get an extra game on Sunday night.

Table = run

Packers = 2016 NFC North champions!!!

I predict another playoff loss to the Giants at Lambeau (see: 2007, 2011).

Packers free OBJ's schedule up for more boat rides.

Any predictions this week? Seems you're on a roll.

Actually, I'd kinda be looking forward to a Green Bay - New England Super Bowl and the ensuing 45-42 carnage.

Take the OVER in that game.

I predict a Dallas victory; GB can't stop Zeke, nor can they cover Bryant. Best hope is for Prescott to be very confused by so many options.

Are you saying black QBs are easily confused?

Lol

Packers send Zeke home before his inevitable suspension begins.

Obviously, I predict that Atlanta will be playing in Super Bowl LI.

Go Falcons!!!!
