[QUOTE="toolkien, post: 469819, member: 4637"] The short of it- The Packers have been one of the best teams since 2009. The beginning of this season has been its roughest set of 6 opponents, net, over that time. The next closest 6 game strength was the 6 games that ended the 2010 season, wherein the Packers went 3-3. And this team should be 4-2 to boot. The long and the short of it is when you have a concentration of tough teams, you're not going to look as brilliant as you would like. The long of it- Pro-football-reference has their SRS (simple rating system) that is indeed simple yet it is powerful. There are a lot of proprietary rankings out there based on intricate stat evaluations fed into a formula to produce a ranking for each team. The SRS simply takes a team's average margin of victory and modifies it for the modified margin of victory of every team they have played. It concentrates on a team's ability to push away from zero (the natural mean in a closed system) taking into account the hindrance of the slate of teams played in trying to do the same thing. Its failing is not speaking toward consistency, but for being so simple its going to be limited, but it cuts to the chase faster than just about any other ranking method I've seen. So far in 2012, the Packers are 5th out of 32 as far as SRS. And the Packers have played the most teams that are in the top 10 in SRS. The Packers simply have had a tough schedule to play, along with a short week to start the season followed up with the 4 road games out of 5. Then toss in the meat skewer to the dirt box in Seattle and the Packers are a solid 4-2 team that has had season endangering loss thrust on them. The upside is the Packers have a relatively easy schedule from here on out, the downside is injuries are getting too steep. [/QUOTE]
