Will The Packers Go Undefeated?

Tom Kessenich · Post by **Tom Kessenich** » Wed Nov 16, 2011 9:30 am

We're 10 weeks through the season and the Packers continue to reign supreme in the NFL with a perfect 9-0 record. The discussion continues about whether they will go 16-0 and join the Dolphins and Patriots as the only teams that have gone unbeaten in the regular season.

Here is Green Bay's remaining schedule:

Week 11: vs. Tampa Bay
Week 12: at Detroit
Week 13: at NY Giants
Week 14: vs. Oakland
Week 15: at Kansas City
Week 16: vs. Chicago
Week 17: vs. Detroit

What does everyone here think? Can the Packers make history?

Tom I think they would go 16-0 if they won their remaining games But seriously, if they avoid an injury to #12 the answer is plain and simple.

YES!!!

Postseason?

A strong Probably

I think they lose to the Giants and one of the Detroit games (probably week 17).

If the Giants skill players are healthy i think they might hang with them and end the run.

thanksgiving will be the game. otherwise they can do it. the question is will they play rodgers in most of last two games if they are undefeated. he is one blow to the head away from making it an even race for the superbowl. last two games are bears and lions. they might have number one seed locked by then. is it really worth it to keep rodgers in ? right now they look the best team by far.

Detroit has been fading and unless Stafford improves his current play, I don't anticipate the Pack dropping either of those games.

I think the one tough game they have left is at NY. The Giants are always a Wild Card. The have enough talent to be a very dangerous team. Although the Packers D has shown recent signs of improvement, they have been carved up by lesser talent all year. If Eli has all his weapons at his disposal, this could be a tough test away from Lambeau.

I agree with Tom that the main key will be if their games continue to be meaningful. My guess is that the 49ers continue to win which will force the Packers to do the same. Lambeau is such a huge homefield advantage in the winter months.

i think the 49ers are a good team but i think they are a year or so away. plus alex smith has to cost them sooner or later. i think they are not even a lock for a two seed as they can lose to balt , pitt , and at seattle. think nfc championship game is saints at packers. i reserve the right to change my mind.

What does everyone here think? Can the Packers make history? If healthy, Giants pass rush will get to them and could have best shot at beating them. They remind me of the 2007 Patriots. Pats came close to losing 2 games vs. the Ravens and Giants. Both games were later in the season. Hard to keep up that pace. We shall see?

Bold Prediction:

I think the Packers-Giants match-up is a preview of the NFC Championship game. The loser of that match-up during the regular season will be the victor in the playoffs and go on to the Superbowl.

So it's in the Packers' best interest to lose that game in week 13!
