[QUOTE="bigbubbatd, post: 828075, member: 10784"] I have watched your predictions for this coming year all off-season and you are continually saying this isnt a playoff team and I am trying to figure out why not or at least why you are so adamant. Honestly they looked to have fixed three of their biggest weaknesses on defense through free agency and added a solid o-lineman which was another need. At the same time this is a team that was right there with a lot of good teams last year - Rams, Seahawks, Patriots (packers were driving to take the lead late in the 3rd and then things went off the rails), Vikings, Bears, etc. It wasnt like they were getting blown out outside of the Kizer led last game of the year. So we have a team was right there with the best teams in the league. A team that added very important pieces on defense who even if they only turn out to be league average players would be a big improvement on defense. They got rid of a dysfunctional coaching staff. Not sure why you expect them to be pretty much the same team because 8-8 would be essentially the same as they were last year. Last years team with a little luck would have been 10-6 (Cardinals win, Seahawks win, Vikings win, Rams win) and a little less luck 4-11-1 (losses to Jets and 49ers). That is pretty much an 8-8 type team. They look better than that on paper. Looking at the division I dont see the two teams in front of having gotten a lot better - the Vikings added middling players and lost a couple pieces to their defense with Richardson and Sendejo. The Bears didnt add much and didnt lose much although Jordan Howard could be a little more of a loss than people realize. He helped Cohen really shine. I think it is really easy to say the Packers improved quite a bit more than those two and have more ammo in the draft to improve more. [/QUOTE]
