Why the Packers might be poised for a run

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- No playoff team this season has a worse record than the Green Bay Packers.

So why does an 8-7-1 squad like its chances for a postseason run?

After winning the NFC North in dramatic fashion on Sunday, when Aaron Rodgers threw the game-winning, 48-yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb with 38 seconds left to beat the Chicago Bears, the reasons were many.

Consider: The Packers' record in games Rodgers started and finished was 6-2.

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Regarding pfow and Pick'em, I think he leaned too hard on "Everyone is picking Team A so I'll pick Team B"

beast (3h) : I think Packers 1st playoff game might be Packers @ Seahawks, which we'll have in the regular season in two weeks

beast (3h) : Yeah, Cardinals got me all excited for nothing... they choked. As of right now, we might get a playoff preview in 2 weeks

beast (3h) : Did packerfanoutwest self-sabotage his pick'em? Doing so well, then this week

buckeyepackfan (29-Nov) : Inactive 23 CB Jaire Alexander 56 LB Edgerrin Cooper 62 OL Jacob Monk 87 WR Romeo Doubs

wpr (28-Nov) : Happy Thanksgiving

Martha Careful (28-Nov) : Happy Thanksgiving Everybody...Go Packers!!!

Zero2Cool (27-Nov) : Packers have ruled out Jaire Alexander, Edgerrin Cooper, and Romeo Doubs for Thursday's game against the Dolphins.

Zero2Cool (27-Nov) : Daniel Jones joins Vikings

Zero2Cool (27-Nov) : Tomorrow high 32° and low 19°

beast (27-Nov) : Thanks Mucky!

Mucky Tundra (27-Nov) : beast, forecast is looking like 27-28 degrees at kickoff, slight chance of snow flurries

Zero2Cool (27-Nov) : Oh? It wasn't on the injury report. That sucks, but it's what is best.

packerfanoutwest (26-Nov) : Doubs is out due to concussion

beast (26-Nov) : What does the weather look like?

Martha Careful (26-Nov) : You can wear long-johns mittens and a hat. We want Hill and their other skill guys FROZEN

Zero2Cool (26-Nov) : I'm not sure I hope for that. I'll be at the game.

Martha Careful (25-Nov) : I hope it is colder than a well-diggers ass on Thanksgiving night.

Zero2Cool (25-Nov) : doubt he wants to face the speedsters

beast (25-Nov) : Dolphins offense can be explosive... I wonder if we'll have Alexander back

Zero2Cool (25-Nov) : No Doubs could be issue Thursday

Mucky Tundra (25-Nov) : Bears. Santos. Blocked FG

Zero2Cool (24-Nov) : Bears. Vikings. OT

Mucky Tundra (24-Nov) : Thems the breaks I guess

Mucky Tundra (24-Nov) : Two players out and Williams had an injury designation this week but Oladapo is a healthy scratch
