I'm excited to see get the season going. I'm thinking an 8-8 or 9-7 finish is about where we'll be with Rodgers at the helm. Thoughts?

One last thing, I'm just glad the whole Favre saga is over. That whole soap opera didn't do much for his legacy. What a bloody mess that was!

They were so close to the Super Bowl last season, I think 8-8 or 9-7 would be a disappointment for the Pack. It all depends on how well Aaron Rodgers can deal with the pressure of replacing a legend. I really like the defense, and the O-line is pretty good as well. If Ryan Grant can reproduce what he did last season, I don't think 10-6 or 11-5 is out of the question. At the very least they will contend for the division title, barring any key injuries of course.

Again, it all hangs in the balance regarding Rodgers. I think he's the real deal, but at this level of the game you just never know until he's out there on the field during regular-season play. The great home-field advantage is good for at least 5 wins, but probably more. Can Rodgers handle the pressure? Only time will tell, but I have a feeling he can and will.
