OK. So, I'll wait until after the Patriots game to make that call... [boxing]

They played 3 teams that now (over half way through the year) that have winning records. They lost all three times.

We're currently 1-2 against teams with winning records.

Zero, I love how you can simultaneously run threads in which one ranks the packers as the best team in football and the other labels them pretenders. [duh]

I'm of the type that needs visual aids, so this is the best I can do.

Fact is, only ONE team and its fans will be happy at the end of the season.
So much can happen between now and the end of the season. Injuries and so on.
So the guys that seem to be "elite" right now might not be at the end of the year.
The Packers of 2010, who really thought they would go all the way?
Everything can change and it COULD happen again!

Do you think the Packers are contenders? I lean a little more towards pretenders right now than I would contenders. It's not a huge sway or nothing, if I have to put a value on it. 60 pretenders 40 contenders.

Right now, here are the playoff standings.
1 Arizona 8 1
2 Detroit 7 2
3 Philadelphia 7 2
4 New Orleans 4 5
5 Dallas 7 3
6 Seattle 6 3
7 Green Bay 6 3
8 San Francisco 5 4
9 Minnesota 4 5
10 Carolina 3 6 1
11 Atlanta 3 6
13 St. Louis 3 6
14 NY Giants 3 6
15 Washington 3 6
16 Tampa Bay 1 8

The 49ers and Seahawks are most likely going to make it. 49ers are gonna get some guys back soon and go on a run. That leaves winning the division against the Lions or the last wild card spot.

We have a lot of games to play yet so most anything can still happen. Hell, Packers could run the table and get home field throughout. That's fine, as long as 49ers or Giants don't show up.

Pats fans were probably calling them Pretenders after the KC game.

Broncos fans we probably calling them Pretenders after the Pats game.

Seahawks fans were probably calling them Pretenders after the Rams game.

All the contenders have had let downs or will have let downs as having all the pieces of the puzzle just doesn't happen in the salary cap era.

Our Defense is not where it should be, but we stopped an excellent RB this past week. Can we do it against Philly and their talent? I don't know, but I think at home we can run the table which should mean playoffs. After that we cast our lot and hope that Mike and Dom have our guys prepared.

We need to get the running game going. That is my only concern with the Offense with the weather declining over the next few weeks.

Zero2Cool (25m) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (25m) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (1h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (1h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (1h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (1h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (1h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (1h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (1h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (1h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (1h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

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

Zero2Cool (1h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (1h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (2h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (2h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (2h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (2h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (2h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (2h) : Packers will get in

beast (2h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (2h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (2h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (4h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (5h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (5h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (6h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (15h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (15h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (19h) : 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
