[QUOTE="pyledriver80, post: 144330, member: 194"] I think this is realistic. I don't agree with all the Scenario's but it's a fair open-minded prediction Tom Oates Wisconsin State Journal You keep telling yourself that tight-****** general manager Ted Thompson eventually will add a few players this off- season. Then you see that the Green Bay Packers' schedule is tougher than last year's and you wonder how they'll build on those four straight season- ending wins when the roster isn't as good. Though the draft could change things, here is one guess as to how the Packers' season will go: Philadelphia: Brett Favre tells ESPN he's learning toward retirement after a 16th season as quarterback of the Packers, then fuels speculation when he blows off still another postgame press conference. Loss. At New York Giants: Too bad the Packers can't play New York later in the season when the Giants have grown tired of coach Tom Coughlin's act. Loss. San Diego: First-year Chargers coach Norv Turner will screw up the NFL's most talented team, just not this soon. Loss. At Minnesota: Fresh because he no longer gets pancaked on first down, Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila sacks Vikings quarterback Brooks Bollinger five times after Bollinger replaces an ineffective Tarvaris Jackson. Win. Chicago: Even without Tank Johnson, who has joined Pacman Jones in the commissioner's new maximum security jail, the Bears send the Packers to a fourth straight 1-4 start. Loss. Washington: Favre breaks Dan Marino's touchdown record and George Blanda's interception record on the same day. Win. At Denver: Broncos wide receiver Javon Walker, angry that the Packers acquiesced to Al Harris' contract demands and not his, burns the cornerback for three touchdowns. Loss. At Kansas City: As the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Kansas City Royals in Game 7 of the World Series next door, the Packers can't make it a sweep at Arrowhead. Loss. Minnesota: Bollinger is too battered to play, so the Vikings coax T.J. Rubley out of retirement. Late in the game, Rubley audibles to a pass, which is intercepted by the Packers' Terrell Buckley. Win. Carolina: Favre is injured executing a textbook fireman's carry on Donald Driver, giving Aaron Rodgers a chance to quiet the doubters, which he does. Win. At Detroit: Rookie wide receiver Calvin Johnson, the surprise first-round draft pick of Lions general manager Matt Millen, catches three touchdown passes. Loss. At Dallas: Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens also catches three TD passes, the final one amid four Packers in the end zone as time expires, eliminating Green Bay from playoff contention. Loss. Oakland: Wide receiver Randy Moss catches three TD passes - all from Favre. Win. At St. Louis: Rookie halfback Marshawn Lynch finally makes Packers fans forget that Ahman Green was allowed to leave. Win. At Chicago: Having clinched the NFC North title, the Bears let the Packers win a meaningless late-season game for the second year in a row. Win. Detroit: Favre weeps after playing the final game of his career, but later tells reporters he hasn't made up his mind on retirement. Win. So there you have it. The Packers will win their last four games for the second straight year to go 8-8 for the second straight year. Unless Thompson finally gets busy, that is. [/QUOTE]
