Welp, anything to help the offense with Mathieu being done. Not like we didn't have arguably our best DB out yesterday in Oakland. This will be a tough one though to say the least, and there's very little reason we shouldn't be anything but underdogs going into this game. Even above average QBs have eaten our defense for lunch this year and if the offense can't score any points, it could be a long day for Green Bay. Minnesota going in there and almost beating Arizona gives me hope we can actually get the W, but I wouldn't be shocked if we came out with a L. We can clinch the North with a win and a Minnesota loss, but it's a pretty good chance our W17 game will be for the division. Might as well make it the W17 NFC North trifecta. Chicago in 2013, Detroit last year, and Minnesota this year.

I will say, I've always been a big proponent of reseeding the Wild Card round based on record. Top 2 division winning seeds still get byes. Bottom two division winners and both wild cards where seeds 3-6 have HFA determined by winning %, head to head, and division/conference record like most other playoff tiebreakers. If division winners aren't at least guaranteed a playoff spot, to me, having division champions is mostly pointless. But a mediocre 8-8 division winner shouldn't be rewarded by sucking the least out of a bad division by getting a home game in the wild card round. To me, Green Bay should have been the 6th seed in 2013 with that 8-7-1 record.

Just hope we don't shit ourselves against the Vikings the week after. 🤣

I looked back at the last three games specifically at the passing attacks.

Packers 68/110 for 681 yards with 5 TD and 2 INT
Opponents 59/111 for 595 yards with 4 TD and 3 INT

Aaron Rodgers has been consistent 22/39 22/35 and 24/36 where as the opponents went 23/47 13/29 and 23/35.

The offensive downturn is all part of Mike's master plan. You see, Dom Capers is all about the passer rating differential. The worse Rodgers performs, the better the defense needs to play in order to maintain their passer rating differential advantage.
