I said CONTENDER when the thread first came out.

Just for the record, Nelson BEAT the best Corner in the NFL on his TD play - no blown coverage I could see.

I'm not going to put too much stock into this game...obviously a good sign but still a lot of season to go.

That said, Bayless can kiss my asymptote.

This was a very clean game with very few definitive mistakes and penalties. Both squads missed FGs, had drives extended via ref issues - (adams push off not called tramon's illegal contact), both had "dropped" tds late. It was a close game, the Packers won. For this week, to the victor go the spoils, and shut it Skip!

Well, uffda udfa?

We just beat the top team in the AFC (up to this point in the season), with a great QB, best TE in the league, and a great coach. Didn't play our best game on offense: settled for 4 FGs, at least one of which should have been a TD (dropped pass). The Packers D held an explosive offense to 320 yards total offense and 21 pts. Oh, and the D gave up 84 yards rushing.

As a reminder of some of your previous posts:

Plenty of other material to quote from out there, but that captures the flavor of them...unrelenting assertions that the Packers team was crap.

BTW, what is our playoff record in this 2014 season?

A 2nd BTW, what was the YPC of the Pats RB's? We were VERY fortunate NE didn't commit to the run in this one. I'm sure it would've been different. Did you happen to see us "try" tackling Blount?

And without fail oof doof finds the negative lining in beating what many consider the best team in the league. Is the only thing that will give you any sort of enjoyment watching the packers fail?

Who said I wasn't happy? I'm ecstatic. I was responding to someone who had a chance to respond to me before the game but wasn't confident enough to do so. I was responding to him directly...not you...not anyone else but him. He made some silly statements and I responded to them.

I do think this is the right mentality instead of the gushing you'll see here and most everywhere in Packerland:

---Thank you, AJ...this is MEANINGLESS...UNLESS this team does something with it. I like playoff wins that lead to rings. Not regular season wins.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (2h) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (4h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (4h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (4h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (4h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (4h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (4h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (4h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (5h) : 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 (6h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (6h) : 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 (6h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (6h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (6h) : 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 (7h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (7h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (7h) : 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 (7h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (8h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (8h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (8h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (8h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (10h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (10h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (11h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (11h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (11h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (11h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (11h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (11h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (11h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (11h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (11h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (11h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (11h) : 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 (11h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (11h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (11h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (11h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (11h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (11h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (11h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (11h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (11h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (11h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (12h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us
