In my mind the Packers are in as division champs.
I don't want to see a scenario that Pits the Packers against the Seahawks in the 1st game.....even at Lambeau.

In my simulations the final game between GB @ MIN decides where the next game is played either GB(#6)@MIN(#3) or MIN(#6)@GB(#3). Seattle travels to some funny NFC East team as #5 and will win.

Then

GB(#6) @ Car(#1) and Sea(#5) @ Ari(#2)

or

GB(#3) @ Ari(#2) and Sea(#5) @ Car(#1)


What I don't like about being #3 is traveling to Arizona, I think we have no way to defeat Arizona.

The offense is still garbarge. Unless that changes significantly this team has little chance of making it to the Superbowl. We've been expecting things to improve for several weeks not but it really just looks like the coaching staff has absolutely no answer for whatever various problems are effecting the team. Without some big staff or schematic changes I just don't see the current unit being able to improve enough to be a threat in the playoffs.

The Packers must win with an elite offense because it they aren't going to have an elite defense to carry the team. At least not under Dom Capers, imo. Dom Capers could only do it if he had more defensive talent than most other coaches. At that point, many defensive coordinators would have a great defense, as well.

The thing is Dom's defenses are fully capable of playing well even in big games but they are just prone to having legendary meltdowns for whatever reason. If they have one of those meltdowns then yeah they probably wont win even with the offense on point.

I have the same concern, the Packers have struggled most against teams with veteran QBs, physical/tough OL and extremely talented WRs, especially when they have a good pass defense... and Arizona seems to check more of those boxes than any other team that going to be on the NFC side of playoffs.

Packers win their division they will be #3 if they don't get passed The Cardinals.
#3 plays #6
#4 plays #5
1st round.

Packers win The Division they will most likely play Seattle or Minnesota(again).
The Packers best scenario is to win out and jump The Cardinals for #2.

So basically either team needs to get two games ahead of each other in the next 3 weeks to make the game less important... which unless there is a complete melt down, I don't see happening.

Both teams have to play at the Cardinals still
Vikings also host the Bears and Giants
While the Packers host the Cowboys then travel to the Raiders.

To me, Seattle and Arizona are the toughest teams going into the playoffs. We can beat the Panthers, but only if we play 4 quarters of football.

It'll be just another wasted year of a hall of fame quarterback. That's how we roll.

Fan Shout
dfosterf (3h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (3h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (4h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (4h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (4h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (4h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (4h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (4h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (4h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (4h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (4h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (5h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (5h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (5h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (5h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (6h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (6h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (7h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (22h) : 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?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh
