WPR seriously you didnt say that did you? Green Bay has an easy schedule? Granted the Falcons are having a down year with the injuries, but the Cowboys are playing to win the east and its in Dallas, the Steelers are still clinging to playoff hope and the Bears will have Cutler back ( ok so that might actually help us 😆 ) but they are still playing for the playoffs and they beat us already once. Easy to me would be playing like the Jets, Jags, Bills, and Texans, and at the current rate we are going we would still probably lose one of those games lol

However, as you mentioned Atlanta is struggling this year. Dallas is in the NFL East the whole division has had major issues. Earlier in the year Dallas looked pretty bad. They have done better recently. The Steelers are below .500 and the Bears don't do very much on defense. If we had a healthy Aaron Rodgers you would say that GB should win all 4 of these games and do so fairly easily. Now that the wheels have come off they all look like we are trying to climb Mt Everest on our knees.

btw- this comes from a jsonline  story

Green Bay (5-6-1) is currently 1½ games behind Detroit (7-5) and a half- game back of Chicago (6-6). Detroit's final four opponents are 21-26-1 overall (.448), while Chicago's foes are 23-24-1 (.490). Green Bay's final four opponents are a combined 21-27 (.438).

While Green Bay has the easiest schedule, it also has a lot of ground to make up in a short time.

Detroit just has to lose twice. They have proven that they can be really hot and really cold. They probably will be underdogs to the Ravens, and they play at Philadelphia, a real up and coming team, but even the Giants and Vikings are possible for a team that can lose to Tampa.

I don't know how this thread got from the draft to the playoff picture, but the effect of that tie was that all tiebreakers are now moot.

It comes down to win out with Aaron Rodgers or lose if he continues to sit.
