Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thirteen Below" data-source="post: 1045421" data-attributes="member: 18006">Let's not forget that if Narveson was even 50% on field goals that day (instead of 0-2), we win that game and we're all alone at the top of the North at 6-1. Top record in the whole NFC, for that matter, and only a half game behind the Chiefs for the league's best record.I'm very happy with where we're sitting right now. We had a rough start, and still have some inconsistencies that need to be worked out (and the sooner the better, before we hit the divisional portion of the schedule), but if the team continues to improve, I expect a 12-5 finish, and wouldn't be surprised at 13-4. That's obviously a very optimistic "best case" scenario, but I do believe it is within our reach.  I'd be disappointed and surprised at 11-6, but that may be the price of playing in the toughest division in the NFL.Once we get past Jax, we have 9 games remaining. Of those 9, 5 are NFC North teams, and all of those teams have a stronger record than any of the 4 non-division teams we play. Our 5 division games are the toughest teams we will face the rest of the season. If we split with Detroit and Minnesota, and sweep the Bears (a scenario which i think is quite possible), we only have to go 3-1 against the 4 weakest team teams remaining and we're 12-5. That probably wins the divison and a bye, and even 11-6 certainly is a playoff spot.10-7 may get us in too, but if we fall apart and finish 9-8, I think the Packers spend the postseason in their living rooms. I think we caught a break, because everyone expected at least 3 of those 4 teams (Miami, Niners, and Seahawks) to be better than they have been thus far.So... yeah. I like where we're sitting. I'd rather that Viking "L" was a "W" (things would be much easier), but how you finish the season matters a lot more than how you start it. And I think we're primed for a very strong finish.Edit: at this point, the Bears have the toughest remaining scheule in the league. We're 4th, with the Detroits right behind us at #5. Minnesota is I beleieve #11. So obviously it's going to be a steep slope, but if we're truly a Super Bowl team, we should be able to pull this off. If we can't, then maybe we weren't quite ready yet after all.</blockquote>
