[QUOTE="Cory, post: 96218, member: 634"] I've been waffering between 7-9 and 9-7 for a while not with no real bold prediction. I am going to say 8-8. There. Thats it, my final prediction. Here's my reasoning. On offense I think it all boils down to...Mike McCarthy. Yes the Head Coach. I say that because I agree with his plan to implement the zone blocking scheme with WCO passing style. An effective run game can kill the defense when it comes time to throw the ball on crossing patters, slants, and curls. I believe in the way MM runs his practices from what I read and I agree with his philosophy on football in general. I believe the guys we have on the aren't lacking in talent rather than experience. I feel they will get better as the year goes on. It will just take rep after rep after rep after rep with them as that is the only way to get better. Throw them into the fire early. If McCarthy holds true to his word about comitting to the run game then I think we will struggle eary in the season and finish strong. I still believe Favre can make the most of what he has at reciever between Driver, Jennings, Franks, Lee, Green, and Henderson if the Oline becomes more solid and gives him a little time. I can see the big picture and I am banking on it gelling and coming together much stronger than it has shown thus far. I don't see a lack of talent on the offense, but there is definitely a lack of unity and experience to this point. On Defense I think it all comes down to the newcomers Pickett, Woodson, Manuel and Hawk. Hawk will have some growing pains and will get better and better as the season progresses. I don't think he is the kind of rookie that will be a weakness and a concern, though. Pickett has played relatively well this preseason. He hasn't been a dominating force of any means, but has played well. He needs time to gel in the defense. The Defensive ends have my concern. They NEEEEEEED to be able to apply some consistant pressure at the very least. It's almost as if KGB gets worse by the year at pass rushing. We really need to let Montgomery and Hunter spot play for KGB quite a bit to keep him fresh. We have plenty of depth at DT so I'm not concerned there.
