Overcoming Adversity · PACKERSHOME

Looks like our guys are used to overcoming adversity. Mainly because they always have to, but alot of teams would get down when they have these ugly 14 point swings. With our guys, it's like business as usual.
Even on the road in a tough environment, they don't get down and they never feel like they're out of it.

This is something I like very much about this year's team. They play from behind well - not always winning (but recently they do), but not panicking when things don't start off quite right.

This game started off not so well (if you all can remember the 1st quarter, the fumble ....... the return for a TD). Nevermind all that, they knew that they could do it, and they proved it over and over again.

Hmmm...I wonder who is the head of all this?

Anyway, you say that we play from behind so much. We haven't been down by more than 7 ALL YEAR! That shows a team that has been focused every game this season.

I give McCarthy credit.

Yeah we are accustomed to overcoming adversity with the early injuries to key players and a-rod being hurt a little bit. I think it all has carried over into the postseason and will continue. I don't know about you guys but when we were down to Atlanta today for some reason i wasn't a bit worried. I had a feeling that we would come back strong even with the ball on our own 8 yard line.

Totally agreed. I said to my wife I would start worrying when the Packers were down 21. Never happened.

So when we lose it's MM's fault, but when we win it's only because of the talent we have on the team? WTF?

You want to talk about adversity, the announcers today said we lost 91 games to starters being out. Only three times has that happened before and none of those teams won more than 6 games all year. I'd love to double check those statistics but if that's the case--and it sounds plausible--this is one hell of a team in terms of overcoming adversity.

I can't wait for next week.

I said it before, back in week 4 I had totally given up on them. I was WRONG. I didn't think they would be able to overcome all the injuries no matter how hard they tried.

Tonight after the kick return for a TD and then they drove right down field again, I was excited about their chances. I told my son (in jest now) that I would not mind it if they let another kickoff be returned. That way the GB offense could go back out and pound down the Atl defense some more. I said by the 4th quarter they Atl defense would be running out of gas.

You gave up on them in week four? Shame on you! I didn't give up on them till week six--and again in week 14. (Well, I didn't give up on them completely, but I thought their goose was pretty much cooked.)

I know what you mean about the kickoff return. I was thinking the same thing. The Atlanta defense had to get right back out on the field and get worked over again. What a beatdown that was by our offense, all game long. Only one turnover, and no punts!

Zero2Cool (2h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (2h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (2h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (2h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (2h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (2h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (2h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (2h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (3h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (3h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (3h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (3h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (3h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (4h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (4h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (4h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (4h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (5h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (5h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (5h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (6h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (7h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (7h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (8h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (8h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (8h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (8h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (8h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (8h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (8h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (8h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (8h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (8h) : 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 (8h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (8h) : I literally just said it.

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

Zero2Cool (8h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (8h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (8h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (8h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (9h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (9h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (9h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (9h) : Packers will get in

beast (9h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen
