I don't think anymore games can be moved. I think they had to give three weeks notice, right?

Sunday's game against the Giants is a playoff game.

The team that loses is out of the playoffs.

Giants can lose and still get in if the beat the Redskins and the Buccaneers and Packers lose.


Edit, that's entirely correct. If Giants lose to us, they need the Saints to lose out and they need to beat the Redskins. If the Saints win a game, they need us to lose to the Bears to get in.

So we just gotta win out to make the playoffs. I feel we can do it but this giants game will be a tough one.

Week 16, pull for Packers and Seahawks
Week 17, pull for Packers, Saints and Redskins

I'm not sure to root for the Saints in week 17. If the Packers win out and the Saints lose out, the Packers are #5 seed and will play the crappy NFC West champ in the wildcards.

I'd rather get in first than think about possible playoff opponents.

If we win next week we will be in though. Getting to play the Rams or Seahawks in the wild card would almost be as good as a bye so absolutely we should be cheering for the Saints to lose out.

In fact, if the Saints lose out they won't even be in the playoffs as Tampa would rank higher than them in the division on common games. You have to like the thought of the reigning NFL champions not even being in the playoffs.

Be careful, they said on Fox tonight there is one scenario that could happen that would eliminate The Packers even if they win next week.

It has to involve all 4 teams..Pack,Saints, Giants and Bucs finishing at 10-6.
The tiebreak would come down to strengths of schedule and point differential, and it was reported by (I don't know the name of the group) to Fox, although the chance of The Packers not making play-offs with win over Bears is slim, there is a scenario.

I'm not going to worry about it, Packer Domination today, then hopefully again next week, then let the chips fall where they might.

FANTASTIC GAME TODAY!!!!!! A complete Ass-Whooping Way to Go Packers!!!!

I'm not sure they were right. In that four way tie you eliminate the Saints because Tampa Bay has the better record in common games and then do the three way tie. It would go to strength of victory. Tampa Bay have not yet beat a team with a winning record so even with their victory over the Saints they would be no where near relevant in this tiebreaker. I also did a quick check of the records of the teams the Packers and Giants have beat and the teams we beat have won 70 games (assuming Philly beats Minnesota on Monday night, if it's the other way around we have 71) and the teams the Giants beat have only won 53 (54 if Minnesota wins). Going into the final week their teams need to make up 17 games. That can't happen. So unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible, we won't lose that tiebreaker.

edit: I should probably add that in my count for strength of victory I included the the Bears for the Packers and the Redskins twice for the Giants under the assumption they both win next week.

I've toyed with the playoff scenario quite a bit and I can't see how the Packers beat Bears and still don't make it.

we win, we in.

Zero2Cool (17h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (18h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
