[C-Lee]

Rodgers wins his 3rd regular season MVP and his 2nd Super Bowl MVP

 

[Reggie White Cheese]

1. Rodgers new proclaimed identity will lead him to be more focused, and throw 47-4 on the year.
2. The Pack will still struggle to find a consistent running game leaving Rodgers to throw 45 times a game.
3. The Pats will not win the SB, not even the AFC Championship.
4. The AFC will see 3 new playoff teams.
5. The NFC will see 2 new playoff teams.
6. Kevin King will have the most INT of our CB's
7. Clay will retire at the end of this year.
8. I am not predicting a record for the Pack nor talk about what will happen during the postseason in fear of the jinx theory.

9. Oh almost forgot the Jets will win 1 game and still leave the Lions as the only win less team

 

[PFanCan]

19-0.

 

[C-Lee]

Bold prediction: Damarious Randall has a stud like season.

 

[Dantés]

I'm having a little trouble getting together my hot takes. I think the season will be great, but I think it will mostly be the usual suspects.

I'll go with a 7 sack season for Dean Lowry and 1,600 total yards from scrimmage for Ty Montgomery.

 

[Candidate for Deletion]

I'm doubling down. The utter failure to get in decent O Line depth, the total unreliability of our RB group, and the lackluster infusion of pass rushing talent (we're all excited that TT has done something in FA, but let's call a horse a horse) lead me to think we have a much better chance of missing the playoffs than winning the Superbowl. For the first year since 2009, I actually think that this team is not capable of taking it all.

I've got us heading into our bye week at 3-4 (4-3 best case scenario), and limping into the playoffs with either a wildcard or a weak division win at 9-7 (10-6 best case scenario). I think our defense finishes bottom 10, probably around 25th ranked. I think our offense finishes top 10 but not top 5, probably 6th ranked. Rodgers is discussed as an MVP candidate, but does not win it. Four players from the team are selected for the ProBowl; Burnett, Daniels, Bahktiari, and Nelson.

The running game will be better. Jordy has another year under his belt after returning from the injury in '15. Adams will only be better. The TE position is more stable than I can remember it being. Your concerns about the o-line are understandable, but this offense is better across the board from last year's unit. Rodgers isn't going to be in the same funk he was in to start last season

Defensively, we have absolutely no where to go but up after the additions that were made, and the apparent progression of some young guys currently on the roster. I'm not delusional enough to believe this is a top 10 defense, but I am expecting middle of the pack which will be enough to get timely stops and win games.

Bottom line for me: Rodgers said relax in 2014, and the team took off. Rodgers said run the table in 2016, and the team ran the table. Rodgers said the focus is on capturing home field advantage.....you see where I'm going.

When all else fails, trust in 12.

I'm having trouble reconciling

How does a loser in the MVP discussion not be good enough for the pro-bowl? I don't think he goes anyway but still...

Glad I'm not the only one who picked up on that.

Because pro-bowl nods are notoriously winning-team-centric, and I think there will be a few QBs from winning-er teams in the NFC who get the nod over Aaron.

Similar to last year? When Rodgers was in consideration for the MVP but didn't get first nod for the pro bowl?

Rodgers wins his 3rd regular season MVP and his 2nd Super Bowl MVP

I don't care about Rodgers winning the regular season MVP by any means.

I have been accused of taking a way too negative approach towards the Packers chances entering a season on several occasions but you're taking it to a whole different level. There's absolutely no doubt in my mind the team is one of only a handful favorites to win the Super Bowl.

 

[C-Lee]

I don't care about Rodgers winning the regular season MVP by any means.

Agreed, but it wouldn't be too shabby. I'll take the latter of my prediction scenario any day of the week

 

[PackAttack12]

I don't care about Rodgers winning the regular season MVP by any means.

Winning 3 league MVP's is an accomplishment that I would like for him to have. He will be remembered mostly for the Super Bowls, but part of what makes Peyton special is the 5 MVP's. Three would be pretty sweet for ARod.

Plus, an MVP award for Rodgers means he's at the top of his game, which bodes remarkably well for the Packers chances at another ring, assuming that the defense is doing its part.

Rodgers winning another regular season MVP award doesn't guarantee the Packers taking home another Lombardi Trophy though which is all I care about though.

Understood, but it's okay to want both even though you might not care about it.

Lombardi's are the main goal, no question.

 

[Poppa San]

3. Tampa Bay gives Atlanta a run for their money and take the NFC South, but Atlanta beats them in the Divisional playoff game
...
5. Packers beat Atlanta on the road for an NFC rematch

Packers are the #6 seed? The only way this scenario plays out.

 

[lambeaulambo]

1. Clay will take himself out healthy in a must win defensive scenario
2. Defensive backfield will be riddled w inconsistency
3. Offensive line will be shaky
4. Adams becomes the number one threat on offense
5. If Rodgers gets injured this team will win no more than 6 games
6. With Rodgers in the line up the team goes 10-6
7. Free agent help aids holes on the team
8. Still looking for a punter
9. Oakland wins super bowl

 

[AKCheese]

10-6
Gotta hope they gel and get hot for the tourney like they did 7 LONG years ago...
I think Mathews is done, certainly a shell of his former self (for some reason)
I think the defensive backfield will be much improved despite a lackluster pass rush
If Rodgers gets hurt early we go 6-10 ( 4-12 if he gets hurt tomorrow) and we get a great draft slot
