Maybe my longest hiatus…however, while there was a ton going on within the NFL, particularly our QB, everyone seems to be (finally) flipping on him – in some manner. As always, I do the schedule grid, meaning I go through all 17 games of each of the 32 teams so each win/loss coincides with their opponents. This makes it tough to truly guess/predict a specific team’s (or all of them) record, but it’s meant for particular matchup and really seeding into the playoffs.
The main question for Packer Nation is: Whose fault will it be this year? We know it’s not #12’s, because he’s immune to blame- even though he’s the biggest choke in the game not-named Matt Ryan.
Here are the results of the grid:
| AFC North | NFC North | |||||

| Cleveland | 10 | 7 | Minnesota | 9 | 8 | |

Short and sweet. There’s about a 33% chance of picking the correct Super Bowl winner if you choose Tom Brady. Might as well. As for the Packers, they’re a solid team, possibly the best roster in the NFL—tough to overcome when the QB requires the best defense in the NFL and pick-6’s at the right times as well as complete momentum shifts (again, all from the defense) to win a NFC title game, let alone a Super Bowl.
Crown they asses.
