WIP Wednesday

*Peeks head out from hidey hole* Hey ya'll...I'm back! It has been a hot minute since I've been truly active here. Getting through the holidays, getting ready for school, general stay at home mom stuff, and just literal lack of writers block/motivation kept from working on wips. But I have seen and very much appreciated every tag! Thank you for not forgetting about me!

Today I've been tagged by the wonderful and glamorous @giddyupbuck, @wikiangela, and @disasterbuckdiaz. Looking forward to all your upcoming works and loving all that has been posted already!

Alright, so I know several are wanting some NFL Buck and I promise I will be getting back to the fic once I am finished with my 4+1 Buck's kindness being a cockblocker. So here is some of that! Enjoy!

A tear-filled okay is Buck’s only answer and together with Eddie, they sit there for a long minute, listening to Maddie take several deep breaths, each one becoming smoother than the last. After the fourth deep breath, she answer’s Buck’s earlier worries, “No one is hurt. I’m sorry.” Her voice is a little rough and she hiccups, trying to hold back more sobs. “Okay that’s good. Means whatever has you breaking our ear drums is fixable.” Buck reassures. “Our ears?” Maddie repeats, “Oh god. Eddie?” Mortification leeched into her sadness. “I’m here. Gave Buck quite a scare, me too.” Eddie answers gently. A short second of silence, then the sound of skin smacking skin, “Oh my god, I forgot all about the kid free weeks of debauchery Buck and you had planned! Oh god! Are you two even dressed? Did I interrupt?” Buck’s cheeks flare bright red and Eddie’s brain comes to halt for a moment at the Maddie’s description of their time without Christopher. “I swear I did not call it that!” Buck hissed under his breath to Eddie. Maddie clearly heard him and gives an awkward cough, “Um no. Actually, those were Howie’s words. Apparently, Eddie, you didn’t hide the uh contents of your duffle that well.” “Dios.” Eddie groaned, his mind flashing to bag he had packed to stay with Buck for the next weeks. Of course, he didn’t bring just clothes and basic toiletries. While Buck had an impressive collection of toys and other pleasurable items of his own, Eddie was a bit possessive.  He wanted new, unused, and untouched by anyone but him and Buck. Mainly him. And Chimney somehow caught a glimpse of the debauchery Eddie was bringing with him. The elder Buckley sibling hummed, “Yea…” “Can I be struck by lightening again?” Buck mumbles, scraping a harsh hand down his heated face.

This fic is close to being done and I am super nervous because I am working on the final scene and its supposed to be very smutty with a very desperate Eddie. Never done that before and I'm hoping its up to standards. Anywho... Hope you all enjoyed! You can find previous snippets of this wip here.

The latest from People

I would say this is a bit of damage control for the sports bros who feel like she is distracting him, but I’d say it’s almost identical to what we heard last week but for some reason I feel like it’s progressed ever so slightly (I can’t explain exactly why. Something about “nothing too serious.”) But still plenty of room to go either way toward what I think is the most likely next step:

1) it lasts through the football season (but I think maybe a little more low key to prevent over saturation, which we’ve already hit, and it needs a minute to soak in IMO.)

2) it cools off this week and then ends officially somewhere around November. But maybe with the hints at the possibility to rekindle after the football season when he can focus on her and not distract from the game and she’s all done with her fall activities, then has another tour break. Since this week is identical to last week, and no real progress has been made, I feel a little more confident in this continuing to be the most likely scenario. But I wouldn’t dare to bet on it!

I think this option is very unlikely: 3) it ends abruptly and acrimoniously like Matty and joe and well, eveyone for the last 8 years.

The question on most people’s minds is what happens next Sunday in Minnesota, what happens during his off weekend which just happens to coincide with Eras movie opening weekend, the 13th, and then what happens during his off week when Taylor goes to Argentina. Also his birthday this week but I have trouble imagining her doing much for that. Maybe he’ll show up with a Very Expensive Watch (I doubt it- he can buy his own watch and unlike a certain someone, I think he’d want everyone to know that.) I will also be interested to see if she wears that heart locket again.

So much to look forward to!

[danieljreboot]

Why not? 😂

Yes, this is way too early, and, yes, we're calling this a 2025 NFL Mock Draft ... but maybe a better way to look at this is not as your garden-variety mock draft -- "Here's who your team will take 51 weeks from now having no idea how the current roster and subsequent season unfolds" -- but as a guide to the college players you should keep an eye on during the 2024 season. As always, the conversation will start with the quarterbacks, but as we sit here, there are no Caleb Williams-type prospects – though no one was talking up Jayden Daniels or J.J. McCarthy last May, either.

Again, to reiterate: This is less "mock draft" than "handy list of names to look out for in the fall." That said, we have to mention this: the draft order is using Caesars Sportsbook's Super Bowl odds (prior to Round 1) but in reverse order. We know folks are going to be very angry about why we have their team picking so high, but it's not our fault. These are your team's odds of winning a Lombardi Trophy, as determined Las Vegas.

If nothing else, using the betting odds means that, for the third straight year, the Panthers have the No. 1 overall pick. Hopefully first-year coach Dave Canales can get the most out of Bryce Young, but if that doesn't happen … you'd have to imagine quarterback at No. 1 (for the second time in three drafts for Carolina) will be a talking point.

Green Bay Packers Season Recap So Far: The Highs and Lows

As the NFL season progresses, the Green Bay Packers have provided their fans with a mix of excitement and anxiety, showcasing both the potential and the hurdles of the 2024 campaign. Here’s a detailed recap of their season so far, with an analysis of each game week, highlighting the key moments that have defined the Packers’ journey.

Week by Week Breakdown

Week 1: Philadelphia 34, Green Bay 29 The season opener was a tough test against the Eagles, with Jordan Love leaving the game injured. The Packers showcased a resilient spirit, but it wasn’t enough to secure a win against a formidable Philadelphia side led by an impressive performance from Saquon Barkley.

Week 2: Green Bay 16, Indianapolis 10 A win that was hard-earned, primarily through a ground-heavy game. Malik Willis stepped in for the injured Jordan Love, and Josh Jacobs carried a significant load, marking a victory that balanced the early setback from week 1.

Week 3: Green Bay 30, Tennessee 14 Malik Willis showed he could handle the starting role, leading the Packers to a solid victory with support from a staunch defensive performance, highlighted by a pick-six from Jaire Alexander.

Week 4: Minnesota 31, Green Bay 29 A close defeat in a high-stakes game saw Jordan Love struggling with accuracy, possibly due to his knee injury. Despite a valiant comeback attempt, defensive lapses allowed the Vikings to cling to a narrow win.

Week 5: Green Bay 24, L.A. Rams 19 The Packers’ defense stood out, with Xavier McKinney intercepting a pass for the fifth consecutive game. The team’s ability to force turnovers was a crucial element in overcoming the Rams.

Week 6: Green Bay 34, Arizona 13 Jordan Love returned to form, throwing four touchdowns and demonstrating deep pass capabilities that hinted at his full recovery and potential. The return of Romeo Doubs also added a spark to the receiving corps.

Week 7: Green Bay 24, Houston 22 In a nail-biter, the Packers edged out Houston with a last-minute field goal by newcomer Brandon McManus. This win was particularly significant as it came against a team with a winning record, setting a different tone for the quality of Green Bay’s victories.

Week 8: Green Bay 30, Jaguars 27 The Packers win another nail-biter, again with a game-winning field goal by McManus. The Packers blew a two score lead in the fourth quarter after losing Jordan Love to injury. But Malik Willis threw a beauty to Jayden Reed with less than two minutes to go to set up McManus. Willis is 3-0 in games played this year.

Week 9: Detroit 24, Green Bay 14  No nail-biter here. The Packers were destroyed by the Lions. Love returned from injury but threw another terrible pick-six that sealed the Packers’ fate late in the first half. The Lions went up 24-3 to start the third quarter and it was game over. The Packers fall to 0-2 in the division.

Analysis

The Packers’ season has been a rollercoaster, marked by key injuries and thrilling comebacks. The team’s performance has notably improved as Jordan Love finds his rhythm post-injury, and the defense steps up to capitalize on opponents’ mistakes. However, inconsistencies, particularly in special teams and pass defense, highlight areas needing attention as the season progresses.

Navigating the Odds: The Betting Angle

As the NFL season unfolds, the conversations around the Green Bay Packers extend beyond the field and into the realms of sports betting, where the over under NFL bets captivate both seasoned and novice bettors alike. 

These discussions aren’t limited to traditional media; they thrive in the digital age through various Packers-focused podcasts. These platforms dissect every play, decision, and future matchup, naturally weaving in betting odds and fan expectations into each episode. This integration of sports betting into daily fan discussions not only enriches the fan experience but also enhances the strategic appreciation of the game, as listeners and viewers engage with the nuances of NFL betting while rallying behind the Packers.

Conclusion

As we look towards the rest of the season, the Packers are positioned to make significant strides. The integration of sports betting and media coverage has indeed added a layer of excitement and analysis, broadening the dialogue around each game. With a solid core and emerging talents, Green Bay is poised for a potentially deep playoff run, aiming not just to compete, but to excel in a fiercely competitive NFC North.

For fans and analysts alike, the Packers offer much to discuss, debate, and anticipate. Each game week brings new stories, and as always, the heart-stopping moments that make NFL football irresistibly compelling.

How Best AI NFL Predictions are Revolutionizing the Game!

The National Football League (NFL) has long been a realm where strategy, athleticism, and unpredictability intersect. Fans, analysts, and bettors alike pore over stats, playbooks, and matchups to forecast outcomes each season. But recently, a new game-changer has entered the scene: artificial intelligence (AI). The Best AI NFL Predictions are transforming how we understand and interact with the game, using vast amounts of data and sophisticated algorithms to deliver insights previously thought unimaginable. In this post, we’ll explore how AI is revolutionizing NFL predictions, enhancing fan engagement, changing the landscape of sports betting, and even influencing team strategies on the field.

1. The Power of Data in Football Predictions

At the heart of AI-driven NFL predictions is data. Every NFL game generates an enormous amount of statistics: player performance, team tendencies, play-by-play data, weather conditions, and even fan sentiment. AI’s strength lies in its ability to sift through and analyze this data, picking out patterns and making connections that would take humans years to identify. Machine learning algorithms can analyze hundreds of variables, weigh their importance, and predict outcomes with impressive accuracy.

Traditional prediction methods might focus on a few key factors, but AI goes beyond the obvious. It can consider variables that might seem inconsequential on their own but, when combined with other data points, provide insights into likely game outcomes. The best AI NFL predictions take into account everything from player fatigue levels to historical game data and even external conditions, creating a comprehensive analysis that is difficult for traditional methods to match.

2. Enhancing Accuracy with Machine Learning Models

Machine learning, a subset of AI, uses statistical techniques to enable computers to “learn” from data. In NFL predictions, this means using past games and outcomes to train algorithms that can then predict future matchups. Supervised learning models, where the AI is trained on past data with known outcomes, are particularly effective for NFL predictions. Over time, these algorithms become increasingly accurate, as they adjust based on new information and outcomes.

Reinforcement learning, another branch of machine learning, is also making strides in football predictions. This model involves the AI “learning” by simulating millions of games, experimenting with various strategies, and observing which scenarios yield the best results. By mimicking real NFL scenarios, reinforcement learning allows AI systems to improve predictions in ways traditional analysis can’t. Fans and bettors now have access to predictions that take advantage of the AI’s ability to learn and improve constantly, resulting in forecasts with higher accuracy and reliability.

3. AI Predictions in Fantasy Football and Sports Betting

The impact of AI extends beyond NFL team strategy and analysis. For millions of fantasy football players and sports bettors, the best AI NFL predictions are game-changers. AI algorithms give fantasy sports enthusiasts insights into player matchups, likely performances, and optimal lineups each week. With AI-generated predictions, fantasy football players are armed with more information than ever, helping them make better roster decisions.

Sports betting has also been revolutionized by AI. Bettors no longer rely solely on gut feelings or surface-level stats; they have access to AI-driven analytics that can factor in years’ worth of data in an instant. The best AI NFL predictions go even deeper, allowing bettors to identify trends, potential upsets, and optimal betting opportunities. As a result, AI is reshaping how bettors interact with the NFL, making the process of placing wagers more informed and strategic. It’s no surprise that AI-powered prediction models are highly sought after by fantasy football players and sports bettors who want a competitive edge.

4. The Role of Neural Networks and Natural Language Processing

Neural networks, inspired by the human brain, play a significant role in making AI NFL predictions. These networks are able to recognize complex patterns in data and can process millions of data points at once, identifying correlations between them. Neural networks can evaluate a combination of factors — such as a team’s current performance, key player stats, and historical matchups — to produce accurate predictions. These neural networks are fine-tuned over time, constantly adjusting based on new inputs to improve accuracy.

Natural language processing (NLP) is another AI tool that enhances NFL predictions. NLP can analyze and interpret news articles, social media sentiment, injury reports, and even interviews with players and coaches. This “human context” element of NLP adds another layer to AI predictions, giving a more nuanced perspective. For instance, if a star player has a minor injury that could impact their performance, NLP allows the AI to weigh that factor accordingly, potentially affecting the prediction for that game.

5. Transforming Fan Experience and Engagement

One of the most exciting ways AI is revolutionizing the NFL is by enhancing the fan experience. AI-driven predictions bring a new level of engagement for fans who want deeper insights into their favorite teams and players. The best AI NFL predictions not only provide fans with more accurate forecasts but also make the game more interactive. With real-time data, in-depth analysis, and interactive platforms, AI allows fans to feel more connected to the sport.

For instance, fans can use AI-powered apps that give them live predictions during games, helping them understand the probabilities of certain plays or outcomes. These platforms often provide visualizations, statistics, and insights that enhance the overall viewing experience. As a result, fans can enjoy a deeper understanding of the game and make more informed predictions of their own. The best AI NFL predictions are making it easier for fans to feel like part of the game, turning each match into an immersive experience.

6. Impact on NFL Teams and Coaching Strategies

AI’s influence extends beyond fans and bettors, reaching NFL teams and coaches who are looking to refine their strategies. AI provides teams with a level of insight that was previously unavailable, allowing coaches to make more informed decisions. The best AI NFL predictions can help teams analyze their opponents' strategies, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of individual players, and plan their plays accordingly.

For example, AI can assess the defensive and offensive patterns of an opposing team, identifying gaps or tendencies that can be exploited. Coaches can then adjust their strategies to exploit these patterns, increasing their chances of victory. Moreover, AI predictions can help teams monitor player health and fatigue, offering data-backed advice on when to rest key players to avoid injuries. This level of analysis ensures that teams have a strategic edge, making them better prepared for their matchups.

7. Challenges and Limitations of AI in NFL Predictions

While AI has significantly advanced NFL predictions, there are still limitations to consider. Football is inherently unpredictable, and AI cannot account for every variable, especially when it comes to human elements like motivation, team chemistry, or sudden injuries. These intangible factors can influence game outcomes and are challenging for AI to predict accurately.

Furthermore, AI predictions are only as good as the data they’re based on. If there is a lack of quality or incomplete data, predictions may be skewed. However, as data collection methods and AI models improve, these limitations are likely to diminish over time, resulting in even more accurate predictions.

Conclusion: AI’s Lasting Impact on the NFL

The best AI NFL predictions are not just transforming how we forecast games; they’re reshaping the entire experience for fans, bettors, and teams. From real-time analytics for fantasy football to sophisticated predictions that influence coaching strategies, AI is undeniably revolutionizing the game. As AI technology continues to evolve, its role in NFL predictions will likely grow even more substantial, offering an increasingly accurate and immersive experience for everyone involved in the sport. AI is transforming the NFL from a game watched on screens to a highly interactive, data-rich experience. For fans and analysts, the Best AI NFL Predictions make every game an opportunity to dive deeper into the game and experience the thrill of insights that only AI can provide. As we look to the future, it’s clear that AI will continue to elevate how we watch, play, and engage with football, ensuring that the NFL remains a game of both skill and strategy, amplified by the power of artificial intelligence.

Shannon: I know we got 1 more game to go over but I'm seeing a reoccurring theme.

Katt: *sips🥃* and what's that theme?

Shannon: They ain't no tight ends doing it like me this year.

Shannon: Nope non whatsoever. Mmm-mmm. I mean at least not this year. I know Bowers was doing his thing but he too came back down to earth and basically tied Kelce, in this matchup at least. Kelce really hadn't done nothing either this year and his supposedly the best in the league.

Katt: Well you right but make sure that tight end stays closed-

Shannon: *interrupts* Whoa. Come on now Katt I'm talking about Thè position not my rear end.

Katt: Thè? Ha. Don't forget where you came from.

Shannon: Really? Really Katt?

Katt: I didnt get it either. I didnt get no sure fire player. Hell im 0-3 in this thang. I'm just saying (rolls eyes). No matter.... I say no matter.... (taps hand on table as speaking)

NO ...... MATTER....

Katt: Not one tight end (looks at Shannon up and down with sass) has produced after drafting them. In fact i could say round 1 players too. Go head and group em in there too. Whoever I say, it applies to. Here's the list; (counts on fingers wave🖐🏾) McCaffery, JT, AJ Brown, Tyreek, there's more but you get what I'm saying.

Shannon: Yea but Katt, some of these did pro-

Katt: Oh really. They gave you 1st round points on your team each week? Go head I'll wait.

Shannon: But come on Katt. Scoring is DOWN across the board is it not?

Katt: I....dont.....care (Shakes head each syllable)

Katt: Nunem got you enough to week to week. I mean that why you draft them 1st right?

Shannon: That's technically true but you do know things happen

*Katt interrupts (click video below to hear 👂)

Katt: Like I SAID... it's part of this wild (waves hands comically) wild fluctuating results where YOU can't win your bets but who always wins Shannon? Who?

Shannon: *begrudgingly* The NFL

Katt: (points 👉🏽 to Shannon) Bingo. The house always wins

Scheffler, Moss, Kamara, Headline High Profile Team Owners as Sport Fishing Championship Announces New Competitive Format Set to Debut in ‘25

Sport Fishing Championship (SFC) announced today a star-studded lineup of high-profile team owners in the saltwater fishing league’s 16-team new competitive format that will debut in Spring 2025.

World No. 1 Golfer and Olympic Gold Medalist Scottie Scheffler, coming off one of golf’s most successful seasons in history, headlines a group of team owners betting on the growth of competitive fishing. The Texas native purchased sole ownership of the Texas Lone Stars Angling Club, with an exclusive rights territory that includes Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and the coastal markets of South Padre Island and Corpus Christi.

NFL Legend Randy Moss, New Orleans Saints 5X Pro Bowl RB Alvin Kamara, Charlotte Hornets star PF Grant Williams and Grammy Award winning country star Brian Kelley are amongst a wave of team owners competing in SFC’s new championship format.

“Today is a milestone date for competitive fishing,” said Mark Neifeld, CEO & Commissioner of SFC. “SFC has always been determined to serve as leaders for competitive angling, and through the league’s new championship format and continuous innovation of our product, we are now better equipped to serve our fans across the globe.”

The league announced the formation of 16 teams representing 16 regions across North America, which will compete week-to-week in a “closed” format designed to showcase offshore fishing’s top competitors and create regional fan bases across the continent. The 16 team names announced include:

·         Texas Lone Stars Angling Club (Central Texas & South Texas Coast)

·         Third Coast Renegades Angling Club (Houston/ Galveston Region)

·         Louisiana Canyons Angling Club

·         Mississippi Blues Angling Club

·         Alabama RAZRS Angling Club

·         Gulf Coast Cowboys Angling Club (Florida Panhandle Region)

·         West Florida Black Flags Angling Club (Tampa/ Clearwater Region)

·         South Florida Sails Angling Club (Fort Lauderdale/ Miami Region)

·         North Florida Kings Angling Club (Jacksonville/ Savannah Region)

·         Carolina Sabals Angling Club (South Carolina)

·         North Carolina Flare Angling Club

·         Chesapeake Chessies Angling Club (Virginia/ Maryland/ Delaware Region)

·         New Jersey Sea Birds Angling Club

·         New York Granders Angling Club

·         Lights Out Boston Angling Club (New England Region)

·         International Angling Club Commodores

“I love this sport, I love what SFC continues to represent, and I believe the future is very bright for this league,” said Brian Kelley. Kelley, known to many as the “Beach Cowboy,” infused his country music superstardom and love for his home city of Grayton Beach (FL) into the name of his pro team – Gulf Coast Cowboys AC.

Lifeline Sportfishing (Panama City Beach), who currently sits atop the SFC’s 2024 Standings, jumped at the chance to team up with the Kelley in a joint venture. “Unity is powerful and alignment with the right team members is key,” said Dino McDowell, team owner. “Brian’s passion for the sport matches our own, and working with BK gives our team an advantage off the water with introducing the Gulf Coast Cowboys to new fans and corporate partners.”

Alvin Kamara, who also serves as NASCAR’s Growth and Engagement Advisor, developed an interest in competitive fishing after participating in SFC’s Celebrity Tournament, “The Catch powered by Verizon.” His involvement in NASCAR has allowed him to experience the business of numerous high-level sports environments and his passion for outdoor activities naturally expanded into fishing. “When I got the chance to compete in The Catch tournament, the thrill of the sport and the sense of community it brings was incredible,” said Kamara. “When the opportunity came to dive deeper into it, I knew I couldn’t pass it up.”

Since the league’s first season in 2022, SFC has operated an “open” format, allowing competitors of all skill levels the opportunity to compete in its SFC Billfish Championship. In this new competitive format, SFC will now showcase the same teams week-to-week as they travel on an international tour competing in the top fishing locations and tournaments from April through August annually.

“The top sports leagues in the world have superstars and strong, regional fan bases,” said Neifeld. “Our sport (offshore fishing) is geographically positioned to showcase its historic fishing towns and competitions, and we believe this new championship format allows SFC the opportunity to better serve our fanatical fishing communities.”

Team sales began in June, and SFC has already sold ownership rights to more than half of the teams made available in the initial expansion offering. The league is in advanced negotiations with a number of prospective team owners, with exclusive territory rights in markets like Boston, New York and South Florida in high demand.

SFC’s unique team charter ownership model is a blend of the hand-selected best practices inspired by leagues like LIV Golf, Formula 1 and NASCAR. In this initial offering, the league introduced new team rights through leveraging A.I. and more sophisticated digital technologies.

In July 2023, SFC announced the formation of Sport Fishing Championship Angler’s Association, a non-profit organization designed to increase the league and its corporate partners’ ability to invest in conservation, competition and community events year-round at the local level. Each of the new 16 teams will carry the “Angling Club” moniker, to strengthen community support for the sport while also supporting existing fishing clubs within its geographical region.

SFC’s league office is in early discussions for its upcoming 2025 media rights offering, after its first three seasons were distributed internationally on CBS and CBS Sports Network.

On October 18, SFC will launch SFC+, the league’s first direct-to-consumer OTT streaming platform that will carry SFC’s competitions, original programing, syndicated entertainment shows and podcasts, and will showcase the top fishing content creators in the “SFC+ Community.”

SFC’s 2024 Billfish Championship Season concludes at the Zane Grey Championship Playoffs in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, October 19-21.

Here’s What Happened the Last 5 Times the Packers Started 5-2

After a hard-fought but thrilling win over the Houston Texans, the Packers (5-2) have now reeled off three in a row, inserting themselves in the Playoff race, albeit one where they must navigate a brutal-looking NFC North. All four teams in the division have a winning record, and all four teams would qualify for the Playoffs (the Packers, Vikings, and Bears would get wildcards; the Lions top the division) if the season were to end today.

Of course, the season has a long way to run yet. The Packers are looking in good shape to exceed the 10 wins that were projected for them at the beginning of the season, yet there are still questions in several areas for the Packers. Indeed, as those betting on NFL player props will tell you, there’s a sense of inconsistency about several players that has frustrated fans, as well as, undoubtedly, Matt LeFleur. In short, while the Playoffs are looking likely, there’s still a lot for the Packers to work on.

However, instead of looking forward, let’s look back. A 5-2 record is a decent start to the season after seven games. But what happened the last time the Packers began with five wins and a couple of losses? As you will see, it has always led to the Playoffs, but it’s not always a straight road. Let’s dive in:

2020

Final record: 13-3

The Packers’ second season under LeFleur started with a bang, had a few hiccups in the middle, and saw a strong finish for the Packers to secure the No.1 seed position for the NFC. Aaron Rodgers was in tremendous form across the season, securing his third of four MVP awards in a Packers uniform. Hopes were obviously high going into the Playoffs, and the fans began to believe more when the Packers routed the NFL-leading defense of the Rams in the Divisional Round, but a combination of Tom Brady and a dogged Buccaneers defense meant the Packers couldn’t secure a ticket to Super Bowl LV.

2014

Final record: 12-4

The Packers started this one slowly, not able to get their offense going in losses to the Seahawks and Lions, but they soon found their groove across the fall, with Rodgers clicking into gear. By November, in particular, the Packers’ offense looked great, with successive 50+ point winning games over the Bears and Eagles. A hard-fought win over the Cowboys set up a showdown with the Seahawks in the NFC Championship. Fans are painfully aware of what happened next, with the Packers losing despite being 16-0 up at halftime and having a 19-7 lead late in the 4th quarter.

2013

Final record: 8-7-1

After starting the season 1-2, the Packers came out of their Bye Week with a point to prove, reeling off four wins in a row to transform a poor start into a very respectable one. Yet, it should also act as a cautionary tale for Packers fans getting too ahead of themselves this season. After going 5-2, the Packers failed to win in their next five, heading into the final four games with a 5-6-1 record. They did enough to finish the season with three wins from four, sneaking into the wild card game. That would end in disappointment, though, with yet another defeat to the 49ers at an absolutely freezing Lambeau Field that ended the Packers’ season.

2001

For the next 5-2 start, we have to go way back to the start of the 2000s. Defense was on top in the early part of the season, with the Packers only conceding 13 points across the first three games (all wins). Despite beating the Bears twice in the regular season, Chicago (13-3) still pipped the Packers to the NFC Central title. The Wild Card Playoffs represent a crucial point in the Packers’ modern history, as it was the last time they beat the 49ers in postseason football (5 playoff losses since then). The Packers came up short against the Rams in the Divisional Round.

1998

Finishing up with the 1998/99 season, the Packers were coming off two successive Super Bowl appearances, and big things were expected with Brett Favre in his pomp (coming off three consecutive MVP-winning seasons). Things didn’t exactly pan out that way, though. While the Packers went on to secure an 11-5 record, they were miles behind the Vikings (15-1) in the NFC Central, losing twice to the divisional rival in the regular season. In the Wild Card Playoffs, it was another chapter in the storied history of the Packers-49ers rivalry, with the latter coming out on top in a tight game at Candlestick Park.
