Would you be satisfied if the Packers went 9-7?

[QUOTE="doughsellz, post: 245184, member: 1158"] I think it's setting expectations way too high to believe the D will click immediately, therefore winning the division could be tougher than usual. However, I don't expect Cutler to have an immediate impact & if #4 starts for MN then they are also set up for a slow start. Introducing new elements to team sports doesn't always equate to immediate success. DET will struggle as usual so no surprises out of that situation. If things unfold as I've stated above the division is up for grabs. Each team has placed themselves into scenarios that have big question marks. I give GB the edge because they will essentially have the same players on D & that should be the difference. Where that leaves the '09 Packers in the W-L column I have no idea. Schedules have a way looking favorable compared to the previous season's results but always wind up being different, sometimes drastically. I can envsion a 4-4 start, maybe 6-2 if a couple of bounces go our way. A late season surge instead of a slide like in '08 is more likely to happen since the offense should be hitting it's stride early & maintaining it all season, the potential loss of Tauscher & who replaces him being the only unknown. 3 of the last 4 on the road is tough for any team on a stretch run for the playoffs. If they do make the playoffs, they'll definitely be ready for an extended stay. My prediction is 10-6 with losses @ MN, @ CLE, @ TAM, at home to BAL, @ PIT & @ AZ. I couldn't envision an 8-0 record at home & BAL seems like the likliest home loss. If that's good enough to win the NFC North remains to be seen. I'd say it's a good chance GB wins the division. I will not be satisfied with 9-7 even if they qualify for the playoffs. AZ was the first team since the 16-game season began in '78 to reach the SB at 9-7. Those are not favorable odds. If the goal is to win the SB every season, then an under-achieving 9-7 record with mild success early & heart-breaking defeat later in the playoffs (like the early '90s Packers) isn't satisfactory. This is year 5 of the TT experiment. Win now! [/QUOTE]
