13-1

Eh I didn't care much for the whole undefeated season. Too much stress on a team. I actually wanted to break the pats winning streak more than actually going 16-0.


Plus Rodgers and the Packers seem like a team who will come back pissed and play much better.
 
I've been saying before they played detroit I didn't care.

All I care about is home field and people getting healthy
 
Its like Rocky IV. " You see? You see? He's not a machine, he's a man, he's a man".
 
Your hopes are still alive...13-1 with a possible super bowl win is better than 18-1
 
Exactly. Much rather go 10-6 and win the sb like last year than 18-1 like the pats.

Are you trying to say that we're only good cause we're on steroids! Lol
 
I think it's good for GB to lose. I'd be more confident going into the playoffs 13-3 then 16-0 I think.
 
I have mixed feelings about it. There would have been a ton of pressure on them if they finished 16-0.

Its been a year since they've felt how bad a loss is. Now they feel it and hopefully its another year before they feel it again.

I just want them to get healthy
 
I remember when the Colts were 14-0 and pulled Manning against the jets and finished 14-2 and did jack in the playoffs, ironically losing to the same Jets. Same year Saints went 13-0, rested Drew Brees and bam, win the SB. Curious what route the Packers take.
 
Now that the streaks over id liked them to just get home field and start resting players in the 4th. But idk if that'll happen
 
The 4th I would think a no brainer. Obvious with SF playing Seattle, and if they win -- Rodgers and the rest play all day against the Bears. If SF loses, just to get the stink out they play against Chicago throughout as well. But come week 17 I don't see them playing past quarter 2. Going against Detroit, who took out Rodgers last year, people think they're dirty and coaching staff might not want a late hit on Rodgers so he plays little.
 
That's what I want. But won't be shocked if starters play a lot. Unless it turns out like the raiders game where rodgers sat the 4th, but I don't see that happening
 
The NFL has chunks of one-loss teams losing in the post season in its stool.
 
Many if not most of each NFL team's fans would "kill" to have even a small sample of the Superbowl-era's success that fans of the Packers have enjoyed, with perhaps the exceptions being fans of the 49ers, Steelers, Cowboys, and to perhaps a slightly lesser degree, fans of the Patriots and the Raiders.

We (esp. older)Lions fans, at least up to this season , have only had primarily several RBs seasonal success to enjoy and anticipate, being of course, the Barry Sanders 90s, and to a lesser degree, the injury-shortened early-80s Billy Sims era, and for some of us, also the late 60s Mel Farr years...somewhat.

The Lions have not ever had anyone who could be considered a truly "elite" QB during the Superbowl era. When one of their allegedly "best" QBs (statistically) in...ugh..Scott Mitchell...finally has his TD and passing yards in a season team records broken this year, after nearly two decades have "passed" by since then, by Stafford...well...that fact obviously has a LOT to do with why the Lions teams have won just one playoff game, and have not played in a Superbowl yet, much less win one.
