So we're all rooting for the Bears, right?

No sir, I root for one team, the Packers. (I swear I've said this before) ... If the Packers need help getting into the playoffs, that help will need to come towards the later part of the season, surely not week five.

If you need a rooting interest in non Packer games, play fantasy football!

So . . . a string of four losses early in the season has less impact on a team's playoff chances than a string of four losses late in the season?

Never had much desire to play fantasy football. It's great for some people, just not me. I prefer to root for teams that help the Pack that week. Those teams will definitely change by week 15 or 16 but I'll just go ahead and root for different teams then.

That was...that was a joke.

Let me ask some of you this;
"Were you cheering for the Lions to win against the Cowboys last week?"

Last week the Cowboys were 2nd in the Conference for playoff position and the Lions were in the top Wild Card position.

It is still a little early for this sort of thing, but I know some people cannot watch a game without cheering for one side.

I realize some of you will never want the Bears to win.

However, up until their Christmas Day match up, the Packers have the head to head tiebreaker over the Bears.
After this weekend the Packers and Bears will have 3 of their common games requirement for the next tiebreaker and a Packers win gives them a 2 game advantage in that tiebreaker.
The next tiebreaker is Confefence Record and the Packers have 2 less Conference losses than the Bears.

A Bears win could still have them 2+ games back.
It would also put the Lions a game back in division and Conference Records and also one back in the common games tiebreaker.
All good for now.








Now let me argue the other side.

The Lions are not that good. They have been behind to a rebuilding Cowboys team and barely won. They were way back in the vikling game too. How difficult is it for them to beat the Chiefs?

The point being the Lions will fade on their own. Dome teams generally fade outdoors late in the season.

Also there is the admonition to be careful what you wish for; you just might get it.

Also the old saying, When you are in first place don't look back.

FYI - If we win the rest of our games this season, it won't matter what the other teams do.

Thank you, that's my approach. Packers do their thing, who gives a damn about the others? If that time comes where the Packers have to have some assistance to get into the playoffs, then root for the ...



CaliforniaCheez, did you enjoy arguing with/for/against yourself? 😛 haha

The voices told me to do it.

Last year when the Packers were on the edge of playoff position, I was big on hoping who would and would not win each week.

This week I have wrestled with the issue.

When in doubt just leave it in God's hands. Pray that the outcome helps the Packers the most when it is all done at the end of the season.
