Post Game Thread ~ Packers Defeat Raiders 42-24

[Nerd]

Smart. Several teams started out strong and failed miserably in the second half. The most recent two off the top of my head were the 2016 Vikings who started out 5-0 and the 2015 Falcons who also started out 5-0 and had a 6-1 record like us. Both finished at 8-8. Six of the Packers remaining nine games are away, and against opponents with a combined record above .500 (30-28). Plus final three games are all against NFC North opponents making for a tough finish!

Vikings are only a game behind us for the Division. But we're looking good for at least a wildcard.

It was nice to put the Raiders away like that. Winning tight games is what can quickly turn against you. But the offense is starting to click. Defense is doing it with smoke and mirrors. They need to find a way to do it the old fashioned way. But so far they're at least doing it.

With cautious optimism, lol, I can't see them worse than 10-6, and if they beat KC 11-5.

if they don't beat kc with matt moore at qb, i will revise my projection.
