Here are my predictions:

• Record: 8-9
• Will we make the playoffs?  No. Third in the NFC north behind Lions (1^st) and Vikings(2^nd)
• Offensive MVP: Aaron Jones
• Offensive Most Improved Player: Doubs.  Just edges out Watson.
• Offensive Rookie of the Year: Reed.  Musgrave is tempting, but I see a lot of connection btw Love and Reed.
• Most Receiving Yards: Doubs
• Most Rushing Yards: Jones. I could also see Dillon getting it, while Jones has the most total yards on the team.
• Most TDs total (rushing or receiving): Watson
• Love's QB line: Rating, Yards, TDs, INTs: 90, 3500, 25, 15
• Defensive MVP: Alexander. Gary would be my pick if he was 100% on day 1.
• Defensive Most Improved Player: Walker.  Improvement started late last year.  I think a jump is coming for the young man.
• Defensive Rookie of the Year:  Van Ness
• Most Sacks: Smith.  This is his “up” year in his up, down, up, down cycle. Gary slowed early also impacts the decision.
• Most INTs: Douglas.  Was uncomfortable in the slot, but much more natural back on the edge.
• Carlson's FG%: 85%. Passable.
• Others?
  • Zero 1000 yard receivers… but a few over 500 yards (Doub, Watson, Jones, Musgrave, Reed).
  • Sean Rhyan gets meaningful offensive snaps
  • At least one of our final starting safeties is not on our roster today (or on the roster as a safety).
  • Our defense struggles against the run…again. But better than last year.

• Record: 9-8
• Will we make the playoffs?  No. 
• Offensive MVP: Aaron Jones
• Offensive Most Improved Player: Love
• Offensive Rookie of the Year: Reed.  
• Most Receiving Yards: Watson
• Most Rushing Yards: Jones. 
• Most TDs total (rushing or receiving): Jones
• Love's QB line: Rating, Yards, TDs, INTs: 95, 3700, 30, 18
• Defensive MVP: Walker
• Defensive Most Improved Player: Walker.  
• Defensive Rookie of the Year:  Van Ness
• Most Sacks: Smith.  
• Most INTs: Alexander
• Carlson's FG%: 79%

Others : Jordan Love makes the pro bowl. Between injuries and people dropping out, something tells me Love will be making the pro bowl. I think he has a good enough offense to help him put up some number stats and I think he can limit the INTs.

Pretty sure this is the only song that is played at Packers games......

What are your predictions for the Packers this year?

• Record: 10-7(really more about the schedule than my confidence in the team...which is solid, but normally would be ~7 wins).
• Will we make the playoffs? If yes, via WC or NFC North Champions? WC-We lose the division to the Lions who win 10 games and win the tie-breaker just beat us.
• Offensive MVP: Aaron Jones(because it's never an OL, but if we win 10 games, it's Bakh or Tom).
• Offensive Most Improved Player: Zach Tom(though Walker if Tom needs to move due to injury).
• Offensive Rookie of the Year: Reed barely edging out Musgraves. 
• Most Receiving Yards: Reed ~950
• Most Rushing Yards: Jones 1250
• Most TDs total (rushing or receiving): Jones 13 
• Love's QB line: Rating, Yards, TDs, INTs: 97 32/12 4200 yards
• Defensive MVP: Jaire
• Defensive Most Improved Player: Savage. I hope it's Wyatt, but feels like Savage will get turnovers this year, MAYBE a light turned on at the end of last year. 
• Defensive Rookie of the Year: Valentine
• Most Sacks: Gary 13
• Most INTs:  Savage-6
• Carlson's FG%: 83%
• Others? Offensive Receiving threats will be like the 2015 team with a bunch of players between ~500-950. No big 1500 yard seasons.
• Reed has the 2nd most receiving yards for a Packers rookie, most since '52.
• Musgrave has 55 catches
• Stokes struggles to come back and doesn't regain his starting job unless there's injury(hope I'm wrong here).
• 18 first of 2nd year players start a game for the Packers this season

There will be injuries that'll knock these down, but I don't want to predict a Musgrave injury or whoever.

I think our success this year leads to extensions for both Love and Gary and set the Packers up to be aggressive in the off-season.

I again, don't think the outlook right now is as rosy as the predictions suggest, but again, easiest schedule we've had in a long time, great OL, RBs on paper, WRers very good YAC.

And Valentine plays starter snaps by week 6-8.

Joe Barry is still fired.

I was very close to putting this in my prediction.

[Fear The Chorizo]

• Record: 11-6
• Will we make the playoffs?  yes - NFC North Champs. 
• Offensive MVP: Love
• Offensive Most Improved Player: Watson/Love
• Offensive Rookie of the Year: Reed.  
• Most Receiving Yards: Watson
• Most Rushing Yards: Jones. 
• Most TDs total (rushing or receiving): Watson
• Love's QB line: Rating, Yards, TDs, INTs: 95, 3750, 28, 15
• Defensive MVP: Clark
• Defensive Most Improved Player: Walker.  
• Defensive Rookie of the Year:  Valentine
• Most Sacks: Smith.  
• Most INTs: Douglas
• Carlson's FG%: 75%

 

Others: The Packers' D finally emerges as the strength of this roster and gives Love cushion to get his feet wet as a starter.  Watson has a monster 2nd season, and Green Bay becomes a top 5 rushing offense in the NFL for the first time in forever.

My rosy record prediction is based on optimistic health of O line and key defensive players throughout the season, the Packers having a 3rd place schedule for a change, and the other teams in their division not being ready to make a strong case as being much more talented or ready to win consistently.  This is a solid roster, if Love shows he can be a viable starting NFL quarterback they are going to win a bunch of games early.

Hopefully not these songs...

But we are all asking this question:

 

[bjkrautk]

What are your predictions for the Packers this year?

• Record: 10-6-1 (I don't know who the tie is going to be; just go with it!)
• Will we make the playoffs? Wild Card (Detroit wins Central)
• Offensive MVP: Aaron Jones
• Offensive Most Improved Player: Zach Tom (I'd say Rasheed Walker, but I'm hoping we don't see much of him at LT)
• Offensive Rookie of the Year: Luke Musgrave
• Most Receiving Yards: Romeo Doubs
• Most Rushing Yards:  Aaron Jones
• Most TDs total (rushing or receiving): Aaron Jones
• Love's QB line: Rating, Yards, TDs, INTs: 87.2, 3900 yds, 32 TD, 20 INT
• Defensive MVP: De'Vondre Campbell
• Defensive Most Improved Player: Quay Walker
• Defensive Rookie of the Year: Anthony Johnson, Jr.
• Most Sacks: Rashan Gary
• Most INTs:  Rasul Douglas
• Carlson's FG%: 79% (just good enough to stick with; including some long kicks Crosby couldn't make)
• Others? Packers will start a safety during the season who's not yet on the roster (RoY prediction notwithstanding)

I'm still holding out hope for a Jim Leonhard hire.

Saw a breakdown of his blitzes and they are just a thing of beauty. Barry may play tighter, but there are just things that I hope I'm wrong about that don't make sense. Kenny Clark at DE despite him playing much better at NT is a big one. 

I also just don't see Barry getting creative. But I also don't want to root against the guy going into the season. 

 

I'll hope I'm pleasantly surprised.

If the D is really good, I think they can sneak in with a wild card or be in the hunt...if the D is bad we won't make the playoffs.
