Look I and Zombie have agreed for the first time in weeks. :)

Defense is at the heart of championships.

I wonder whether the Packers will move to lockup Dom Capers long-term. Arguably, he has been the team or organization's MVP. I know hes not a player, so maybe most valuable commodity is a better title to apply here.

How's this for a stat? Over 50% of SB winners had a top 2 D. We and the Steelers are the top 2 Ds in the NFL. So over 50% chance one of our 2 teams wins the SB? I like it (as long as it's not the Steelers). 🙂

Also, the Steelers and Packers are the two teams that Peter King picked to meet in the Super Bowl. Oh wait a minute, Peter King sucks at predictions so this actually works against us....

Points, of course. Yards are a meaningless statistic when it comes to D. If a D allows 400 yards a game but only 3 points, it's a pretty dang good D.

I'm not debating the original point (I agree).

But I am curious...what was the defensive ranking of the other 10 SB winners?

And, perhaps more interesting...what was the D ranking of the 40 SB losers?

beast (now) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (1m) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (4m) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (8m) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (9m) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (10m) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (19m) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (25m) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (27m) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (28m) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (30m) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (39m) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (45m) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (48m) : Packers will get in

beast (49m) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (55m) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (55m) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (2h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (3h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (3h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (4h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (13h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (14h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (17h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”
