Coaching? Green Bay just hired a 2 time loser at defensive coordinator…!

Exceptionally difficult year to predict...
On one hand the personnel on the field looks to be significantly upgraded vs last year. Legit reasons for optimism.
On paper? I'd put em 1-2 games behind GB on personnel alone.
OTOH, you have in-experienced Coordinators, will the players gel? play to their potential? What about Barr and Darrisaw? What about being the least vaxed team in pro football?
And a QB that's a not just unvaxed, but's a kook who often wilts when the heat gets turned-up.
With gun to head? I say 9 wins and 10 max.
Other than QB, curious where Green Bay is better than the Vikings on paper. RB? No. WR? No. TE? No. OL? No. DL? No. LB? Maybe. DB? Yes. ST? Yes.
Agree with all the vax and coordinator uncertainty though...I think avoiding a Cousins meltdown or any huge covid or injury impact (granted, very real possibilities, but as you say, very hard to predict), this is an 11-12 win team.

i reserve the right to change my mind @ CAR. Splits with Chi/GB.
You need to look at their OL again. G/C Jenkins at LT, two rookies, a journeyman on his 4th team and Billy freaking Turner. Our OL LAST YEAR was better than this Packers OL. In fact, I think their OL woes will be one of the stories of the first half of the season.

Still shaking my head over relatively healthy. Fuckin morons. IF they stay relatively healthy THIS year 10 to 11 wins
Thats where I come out at. 11 wins without covid and assuming Cook plays 75% of the games.
With covid, I think we drop 3-4.
And while Cook might be the best back right now he’s also kinda injury prone.

Very well could be MB...Question is can AR overcome some of that or not? They do have a very good RB and WR too.

I wouldn't call that a cake-walk schedule, frankly I think ours looks more challenging on paper...
4 of their last 6 @ home is a big deal for them.
