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

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'

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.

he may have a point, look at our division, then look at theirs and I ask you, who has the tougher road?

We still have a better chance of making the playoffs then they do if you ask me.

Perhaps that link should explain this "article."

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.

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.

Those sick dogs will be lucky to be 7-9 let alone make the POs.

My thoughts exactly. Sometimes these guys just throw out random predictions, and hope they stick. hey geniuses. It's June. What you say has no weight.
