Packers "in", Boys "out" of 2007 Playoffs?

Green Bay Packers

Look for the Green Bay Packers to return to the NFC playoffs for the first time since 2004. Under second-year head coach Mike McCarthy, the Packers are coming off a four-game winning streak to end the 2006 season. Brett Favre has returned to lead an offense that has a solid line and Pro Bowl receiver Donald Driver.

The Packers' defense made big improvement over the second half of last season, and GM Ted Thompson bolstered the line by selecting DT Justin Harrell with the team's top pick in the recent NFL draft.

Dallas is the team that will not return to the NFC playoffs. The Cowboys will have to adapt to new coach Wade Phillips'

:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:


It's always about the Dallas Cowboys! I have never seen so much penis envy among a sports team...

The eagles, Redstinks, fudge Packers...hell...all 31 other teams!

They wish they were "America's Team"...and they are not! What was it?

I seem to remember the Redskins coming off of a similar late season surge at the end of the '05 season and look how their '06 season ended. Late season surges don't mean anything.

Looking at recent trends, it's realistic to assume that about half of the 12 teams that made the playoffs last year will not return. He's not making up the adjustment factor. There are alot of trends working against us this year.

But I think, just interms of GB (an up and comer), I like our chances better than theirs. We've got the better QB.

Last years playoff team that won't be in the 2007 playoff again this year is your New York Giants.

[28 Joker]

The Peckers, I mean Packers, will be sitting at home eating cheese during the playoffs.

Playoffs! Playoffs! Your talking playoffs? Playoffs?


Dallas will drill that interception master Farve. That big crown on the field at Texas Stadium is still there.

Don't sing it, bring it! :packers:

[superpunk]

Last years playoff team that won't be in the 2007 playoff again this year is your New York Giants.

Likely.

There's also the Chiefs, Chargers, Seahawks, Jets - teams that might be questionable to return. I don't think you can count out Philly or the Cowboys, either.

So I guess only the Packers get better under a new head coach and everyone else gets worse?

Is that the point?

Let's ask the Jets?

Or maybe the Saints?

Nope.

They improved under then 'new' coach McCarthy last year.

As did both the Saints and Jets.

I guess you enjoy being wrong, you're so good at it.

Keep up the 'good' work!

Just so I understand it's.....

Green Bay > Dallas

Mkay.

Now I hope we play them in January.

[ThreeSportStar80]

Please stop with the dumb reports... Green Bay will NOT make the playoffs.

[Beast_from_East]

Peckers going to the playoffs with that bunch of scrubs???

Me dont think so.

Farve is way past his prime and real popular among his receivers after whinning like a baby all offseason for his boy Moss.

How anybody can compare our roster to theirs and come to the conclusion they are going to the playoffs and we are not is just retarded.

[theebs]

Well We will find out who is the better team come the last thursday of november.

I am already hoping the place is not filled with packer fans. I really hope that is not the case.

every year there is one game that out of town fans pour in for.

03 it was philly
04 it was pittsburgh
05 it was kansas city
06 it was new orleans
07 I imagine it will be green bay.

[The30YardSlant]

Dallas is the team that will not return to the NFC playoffs. The Cowboys will have to adapt to new coach Wade Phillips'

My, what objective, insightful analysis :rolleyes:

The only way this line of thinking would have ant merit would be if a first year coach had NEVER had success in the NFL, which is simply false. Jon Gruden in Tampa? Bill Callahan in Oakland? Hell, Barry Switzer, a fairly average NFL coach, almost won it all his first season.

A team's ultimate destiny lies with the players who are payed to make plays on the field. Dallas has more talent this year than they have had in a decade. We have one of, if not the deepest front 7 in all of football, the best cover corner in the NFL, and a safety who should thrive in our new system.

I look at the Dallas roster and, outside of a true every down back, I don't see a single need on this team that absolutely MUST be addressed if we are to win anything of substance. We have enough pieces to make a strong push in the NFC, regardless of the coach.

[calico]

This can't be serious...

Pat Kirwin did an article on nfl.com a few weeks back that actually looked at the late season surge and found that it actually had a worse effect on next seasons record than a late season collapse so by his arguement we are going back to the playoffs and GB will go 6-10.

UNLUCKY.

That's a pretty interesting trend. It makes sense, that teams who are able to compensate somehow for some problem have not got rid of it, only masked it for a time. It's not like Philly can stop the run or Green Bay got capable running backs - their players just stepped it up at the right time. They still lack the talent that put them in the situation they were in in the first place.

[CrazyCowboy]

Who is this guy anyway?

Nope.

They improved under then 'new' coach McCarthy last year.

Hardly. I was legitimately asking you the question....

I thought you were implying the Packers got a new head coach this year. I thought I had missed something in the news (though I can't imagine the Packers getting rid of McCarthy after one year).

But thanks for at least answering the question.

I enjoyed the last couple of sentences of the Kirwin's article:

"A Green Bay Packers player told me his team's 4-0 finish was really going to help for the 2007 season. I told him to be really careful with that kind of thinking."

Maybe, the Packers' player should have passed the advice on to Korth.

[zeromaster]

The Packers have had all offseason to forget how they got that winning streak. Some reports indicate Favre's shoulder is still sore.

Green Bay was 4-8 when they started that run: maybe with the pressure off, they didn't have as much trouble executing. And how about those teams they beat (records coming into the game):
San Francisco (5-7)
Detroit (2-13)
Minnesota (6-8)
Chicago (13-2)Of all those, only Chicago was legit, and they were resting people with home-field sewn up (Griese was QB).

It's always touching for the media to hope Opie goes out on an upswing.

Oh, guess I misread you then.

My apologies.

:toast:

[AtlCB]

Somebody needs to remind Todd that his Green Bay Packers stink. The only reason the team didn't finish 5-11 is the fact they play in the NFL's weakest division. I wouldn't pick this team to beat anybody in the NFC East.

[Vintage]

Oh, guess I misread you then.

My apologies.

No problem....

This guy has brought up good points about trends(the 4 game streak to end the season) and Brett Favre. They do correlate to the future of the Packers.

Let's look at that a little closer

Year --QB rating
1992--85.30
1993--72.19
1994--90.73
1995--99.55
1996--95.84
1997--92.62
1998--87.78
1999--74.71
2000--78.03
2001--94.08
2002--85.55
2003--90.38
2004--92.42
2005--70.87
2006--72.67

I see a definite trend there in Favre's performance.

How about just 2006?

Games 1-4
6 TDs 5 INTs 75.64 QB rating

Games 5-8
5 TDs 2 INTs 82.36 QB rating

Games 9-12
4 TDs 5 INTs 68.15 QB rating

Games 13-16
3 TDs 6 INTs 64.89 QB rating

I see a definite trend there as well. Anyone should easily see from those numbers what the future of Favre and the Packers will be in 2007.

The Pack have to play the NFC East and AFC West this year. They also got to St. Louis. It may be easier than Dallas' schedule, but it will be tough. Plus since they play each other that match up may go a long ways to determining which team makes the playoffs.

[GlitzCowboy]

Yknow when the Pack was considering adding Moss and Johnson, I really thought they'd be the team we'd have to go through. Infact I thought itd' be so cool for Favre to end his career the same way it was basically made...losing a big game in Texas Stadium! It would have been so beautiful. And really, summed up everything he was; Someone that could get you almost there, but faulter to the big bad Cowboys of Dallas in the end. That guy (or that team) never did anything when we were standing in their way and it would have been a really nice note to have him exit his career like that with everybody remembering the way it really was. Instead it'll be, he went to 2 super bowls and won 1. Everyone conviently forgetting that those were the 2 years some freakish stuff happen to us and we couldn't be there to stop them.
