[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 980247, member: 7261"] I do like the optimism here, but I just don't see this 4-7 team turning it around and somehow making the playoffs, no matter what all the teams ahead of them do or don't do. This isn't a season where we lost Aaron Rodgers in game 5 and are now getting him back. This isn't a season where we are going to suddenly get 3-5 key starters back from injuries. More importantly, this isn't a season that the Packers have looked particularly good, in all phases of the game. Even the coaching seems to be off this season. So while a lot of Packer fans are cheering for those teams ahead of the Packers to lose, I am looking "behind the Packers" and hoping that the teams with worst records win and the Packers draft stock improves each week. If the draft were today, the Packers would be picking 11th in each round. The "good news", 9 of the 10 teams that would be picking ahead of the Packers, have 3 or 4 (Saints) wins. Which really shows you just how close the Packers are to the bottom. While I will still be cheering for the Packers every Sunday, I won't mind seeing them gaining ground on the Texans each week, to better improve their draft position and hopefully their future.
