Since the Packers and Vikings are tied at 6-2 (and Vikings seem to have won whatever tie breaker NFL.com's standing is using), among some saying/suggesting to watch our backs for the Vikings... I've decided to look into the rest of the season of the two schedule wise.

First off, the team that doesn't win the division could very well be a wild card as of right now (half way through the season) they've got the 2nd and 5th seeds (if the playoff were to happen tomorrow)... and the last time the Packers were a wild card, they carried a chip on their shoulder into the playoffs and ended up winning the Super Bowl (not to say that would happen again)... but really the main goal of the regular season is to get into the playoffs and both of these teams seem to be well on their way.

But first off, they got two games left against each other (like most of the top division rivals seem to, which the NFL attempted to do on purpose). And both the Packers and Vikings are 4-0 at home and 2-2 on the road and 6-2 overall. So say they split those games.

Both teams also have home game against the Bears (1-2*) and road games against the Cardinals (3-1) and Raiders (2-2).
*= Bears road game record before the Chargers game. Other numbers are the Cardinals and Raiders home record so far.

The big difference in the Packers/Vikings remaining schedule are the three other games.

Packers have
~ Lions (0-4 on the road)
~ @ Lions (1-3 at home)
~ Cowboys (1-2 on the road... but I think they'll have Romo back by then)

Vikings
~ @ Falcons (3-1 at home, but they're going on a bit of a losing streak)
~ Seahawks (2-3 on the road, and they like the Packers are undefeated against teams that have more than one loss before the game starts... Rams/Packers/Bengals were all undefeated going into their games with the Seahawks)
~ Giants (2-3) on the road.


As of right now Packers have four games, out of eight, against teams that are 0.500 or better overall (including 3 of the last 3 to maybe get the Packers better prepared going into the playoffs)... and the Vikings have seven out of eight games left with teams over .500 overall. It gets a little better for the Vikings when you look at where they play, as the Seahawks and Giants aren't currently 0.500 on the road. But most of the Giants road losses came within 3 points, so they might be tougher on the road than their road record suggest.


So looks like the Packers have the easier schedule left... of course getting past the Cardinals, Raiders and Cowboys might be harder said than done... and hopefully the Packers still have Cuter's and Stafford's number.

Yup.....another division title, and then early exit in the playoffs.
Getting to be a broken record.
Don't get me wrong, I like seeing "my" team win, but it doesn't mean alot when you can't get it done against good teams. You only can beat up on the lower guys.
I see the Packers as the best of the mediocre.

I think the Vikings will win 9 or 10 games and I still think the Packers can win 11 or 12. It'll be enough for the division and we'll get to witness another one and done wild card weekend! Yay!!! [whead]

But hey, Coach doesn't think anything is broken and says all of the goals they want to achieve are still available!!!! 🤬

    Zero2Cool (12h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
    dfosterf (13h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
    wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
    beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
    wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
    Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
    dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
    Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
