At this point, the Packers have lost their last 3 games and nearly lost as well to the Chargers. The Vikings have taken the lead in the NFC North Division. Injuries have hurt the team and Offensive production is down.

What do the Packers need to do to be a better team ? How can the Packers raise their overall level of play and get into the playoffs ? How do they elevate their performance in the passing, running, blocking, tackling, pass defense, and pass rush areas ?

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2015-nfl-predictions/  we have 85% chance of making the playoffs.

Assuming we don't win the division the race for a wildcard spot seems to be favorable this year. Who is on track? Atlanta, Seattle and I think that's all!!! We have the tie-breaker against Seattle and Atlanta seems to be sliding, and they are Atlanta.

So honestly even if playing really bad I think we have very good chances to make the playoffs.

We also have very good chances of quickly getting torched in our first playoff game unless we learn how to defeat good teams on the road. Playing the same vanilla offense we've been playing so far is NOT going to do it without Jordy.

😢 unfortunately MM and Rodgers seem to be in denial about our problems and we might win enough games for them to keep their allucination. Then we lose at Carolina or Arizona by a huge margin and they say "we made the playoffs without Jordy, we are a great football team".

I feel a change is needed.

This is absolutely nothing new for this team. They're always on the verge of imploding like this, it's just that they usually don't do so for this many consecutive quarters.

Much of it's on Aaron. He needs to pull his head out.

Anybody BONEHEAD STUPID enough to blame Aaron Rodgers for the Packer losses should find himself a new team to whine about. You like Cutler better? Or Bridgewater or Stafford? Or anybody else for that matter?

The primary problem IS in fact the O Line; Less than super pass receivers also contributes; Wasting downs running doesn't help either, given the lack of blocking; Good Defense against us had something to do with it too, but when those same defenses get shredded by the O Lines of other teams, it says a lot about ours.

We WILL get back on track, but it will be BECAUSE of Aaron Rodgers and IN SPITE of lame O Line blocking both in the running game and passing game.

It's very comforting to believe that magically all the Packers problems will disappear and nothing but victories will remain. There are real problems that will need to be addressed and champions must be able to overcome adversity.

Playoffs, at this point % predictions and fairy dust mean very little.

What must change to get the Packers in the playoffs ? [frust]

Throwing 61 passes in a game is nearly twice as much as we should ever do. A good 60/40 - 70/30 ratio keeps the defense honest. How effective were our 61 passes? The more you throw, the less effective.

They just lost Edleman which is a huge part of their passing game, but they will plug someone else in and chug right along. Brady has fire and Passion which we don't see from Rodgers anymore. Hell I would even take Cam right now or even a Bridgewater, they both play with what is given to them and play in the system, not buck the system.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Losing in the regular season just doesn't upset me that much. Sure, they are 2nd in the division. I get that. I see several flaws with the team and that some none expert can see it I find encouragement in that the Packers see it too and will effort a resolution.

The final four games of the season are going to be more emotionally tugging than this first 12. Hopefully they won't be 6 - 6 lol.

Not to beat a dead horse, but we had an even great percentage to beat the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game at one point. When you are spiralling in the wrong direction this team needs to find a way to emotionally rally. I am not convinced having Mike and his stoic demeanor and Dom in the booth can send the in-game message that is needed at times. We need the team leaders to step up as well. Aaron, Clay, Julius, JJ all need to show a bit more leadership on the sideline when things go wrong in my opinion. It just wasn't there from what I saw against Detroit. I miss Kevin Greene on the sidelines.
