Next 5 games, after the bye

[ColoradoPacker51]

I’m curious how everyone sees the next 5 games going after the bye this week? It’s going to be our toughest stretch of the season, and then lightens up with the last 5 games, but these are going to be tough games. Here’s what I see:

@ LAR = L
@ NE = L
Miami = W
@ SEA = W
@ MINN = L

I think if we make it through these 5 games 2-3, that’s a win for us. We’d be sitting at 5-5-1, with a legit chance at winning out, and heading into the playoffs 10-5-1. Now I know this would be tough to sit at 5-5-1, but when you consider who we play, and being on the road, not that bad. We want to be playing our best heading into December, and I think this might be how it unfolds, with a chance at winning the division or getting a wild card. Offense is close to firing on all cylinders, just need to tighten up 3rd down and red zone scoring. Defense worries me, but if we can create turnovers like last night, they can give us a chance to win.

unless something changes drastically with the Packers and some of those teams...i see 4 L's.

 

[Arod2gjdd]

One game at a time

The Rams haven't exactly looked amazing either.. yes they have won all their games, but they also have played 4 poor teams besides the Vikings and the Chargers. Beating the Raiders, Cardinals, Seahawks, and Broncos aren't exactly sparkling. Of course we almost lost to the Niners, but ARod does give a chance to beat the Rams. We better play amazing against the run though or Gurley is going to kill us. Losing Kupp will hurt them significantly. Maybe we will become healthy.

 

[Packer Brother]

Woof...that's a difficult schedule.

 

[Forget Favre]

We have a chance against NE as long as they don't cheat.
If they win, they cheated.
If they lost, they didn't.

 

[Ogsponge]

I think we got 4-1 with our one loss being at NE. The bye week is going to do us wonders and everything is going to start clicking with a good win handling LA their first loss.

I also think we can squeeze one more win from your wins and lose listings, hopefully from Minnesota.
We just have to win enough games to be in a playoff game, that's when wins really count known as "The second Season".

 

[RepStar15]

As long as Rodgers is in the game, there is no reason to think we can’t compete with any team in the NFL. Starting two rookie receivers and working on a bum knee, the man still puts up impressive numbers and makes incredible throws.

 

[PackerFanLV]

Hey man As long as we have rodgers at the helm we can go 5-0 lol

 

[Packer96]

With a hobbled Rodgers, 4L's

Definitely the biggest win from these next five games would be @ Minnesota. If we can win that one, which we have a really good shot, it would put us a leg in front for the division. I don’t see them being that great of a team honestly.

I have no problem agreeing with this. we win one of the first two. The next three are in the bag. We get Minnesota after a 10 day break since the Seattle game is a Thursday nighter.

This is doable too.

The Packers road performances have been dreadful. Which road game is a win? I don't see a road win unless their attitude changes and they decide to play 4 quarters of football. Coming out flat and listless resulted in embarrassing loses in Washington and Detroit, not exactly two powerhouses. Why will that change because of the bye?

 

[C-Lee]

Rams are due for a loss. Just saying.

 

[melvin dangerr]

Let’s make a separate thread for each game and see...

Right On, Can anyone answer this please.

 

[Mondio]

The only time it will be answered is when they show up or not against the Rams. I would say flat and listless was the case in Washington. I wouldn't say that in Detroit. Detroit, but like the VIkings, I never felt that GB was outplayed at all. They didn't create very good luck for themselves, that is true. and they made some mistakes, but as a whole, I don't think either team outplayed GB.

I agree C, they are due for a loss. Can our offense put up 45? Man, I'm latching onto your coattails and will be positive and upbeat.

 

[PackerDNA]

The only things I definitely do not see happening are winning all five or losing all five. This team has a big mess to clean up over the next week or so. The absolute must win? The Vikings game.

Winning all would be cool Losing all would not. But they have to win 2 of the next 5 with one being against the Vikings and I think everything will still be in front of them in terms of post season goals. It's a really tough stretch though in terms of quality opponents, turn around and travel. This sort of stretch is going to stress everyone from the coaches to the players to the support staff. We're going to find out what this team is made of and it's that time of year where it should happen anyway.

I would be absolutely shocked if we don't win at least two of these games.

Well, they have four road games in a five week stretch, so they'll have four of those weeks to figure it out.

For Aaron Rodgers' legacy's sake, out of those 5 games, he must win the one against Brady.

Rodgers has already beaten Brady back in 2014.

Yes, but this will probably be the last time they face each other, and I think it'd be huge if Rodgers can be 2-0 in his career against Brady, instead of 1-1. If Rodgers can somehow win a couple more Super Bowls, then people could say "Yeah Brady has more SB wins, but Rodgers was undefeated head-to-head against Brady."
