Unless you're living in a barn, you'll know the Packers are undefeated this year. But they're certainly far from perfect, as their performance against Tampa showed this past weekend. I know a lot of people are pointing to Thursday's game as the first loss (the Packers third game in 11 days, on the road, against a division foe).
Can't say I disagree, the Lions have an offense that can keep up if the Packers D is subpar again, and their D line can get pressure on Rodgers. If he's "off" like he was against Tampa (it's amazing to say that, because his "off" day was a 112.3 passer rating) I think the Lions beat them.
What do you think? Will the Pack lose Thursday, later in the season, in the playoffs, or not at all?

They'll lose eventually. Not sure where..this matchup against the Lions seems like a safe pick.

I think they for sure lose one of their next two. If they get by Detroit, the Giants will be like a wounded animal by that time. I can see Eli going for big numbers against the Packers secondary.

I think they will lose 1 or 2 games but I can't say for sure where and when.

The offense is near unstoppable and the defense is good enough to keep the offense on the field. I don't see them losing.

I'll say they lose to Detroit on Thursday, finish the season 15-1, and steamroll through the playoffs to another Super Bowl.

I think it might be in their best interest to drop 1 game to keep them "hungry" for a repeat.justincredible;982390 wrote:I'll say they lose to Detroit on Thursday, finish the season 15-1, and steamroll through the playoffs to another Super Bowl.

I would have picked the Bears game if Cutler didn't just get hurt. I think it is this week on a short week to the Lions or they go 16-0 in the regular season.

Look in to his eyes Packers fans, and see the man who is going to ruin Christmas for you.

Only way they go unbeaten is if the Niners go 15 and 1 and push them to keep home field advantage. Otherwise, they will rest their players like that pussy did in Indy a couple years ago.

Pack loses to NYG who then start a win streak that leads them to a SB victory.
The G-MEN will win it ALL!!!! Book it!

Could be, But Dungy did also twice. Dungy won the SB, Caldwell lost in it. Pats didnt rest and lost in the SB. It doesnt matter either way. Players either get it done or they dont.Skyhook79;990984 wrote:It wasn't Dungy it was Jim Caldwell...non SB winner

Dungy's teams were not undefeated when he pulled his starters and that Pats team only lost because of the greatest play in Super Bowl history not because their starters played to go undefeated.Laley23;991202 wrote:Could be, But Dungy did also twice.

Yeah, I forgot Dungy missed their loss to SD in 2005 when his son died. They had clinched, so I think had he coached that week he wouldve rested. He rested every year after they clinched.Skyhook79;991330 wrote:Dungy's teams were not undefeated when he pulled his starters and that Pats team only lost because of the greatest play in Super Bowl history not because their starters played to go undefeated.

I think the Giants have the best shot left of beating the Packers but I honestly think they may lose to someone they shouldn't like the Chiefs.
