What I took from this was that the Packers could still get the #2 seed.

Its an interesting spin on the playoff picture. Usually you see what needs to happen for a team to clinch something instead of being eliminated. I'm guessing the list of things that need to happen for the Packers to clinch the number 2 seed would take up a full page and obviously they would involve more than just week 15 so this makes sense.

Atlanta needs to lose 2 of their 3 games. (SF,@CAR,NO)
Tampa needs to lose 2 of their 3 games. (@DAL,@NO,CAR)

Washington and the Giants are non factors for the #2 seed because assuming Dallas wins the division they are relegated to wildcard spots.

I don't really care about the #2 spot. That's not gonna happen anyway.
All I care about is the Packers winning the division and getting into the "dance".
We need some help, and to win out for that to happen.

Yes, it IS "possible" But so is being struck by lightning.

Let's flip this just to make a li ist of games that could help The Packers.
Obvious ones for Division.
Giants over Lions
Colts over Vikings

These to keep a wild card option for The Packers alive.
Cowboys over Tampa Bay.
Carolina over Redskins

These just for future consideration.

Saints over Cardinals.
Saints have a game against Tampa Bay in week 16.
Would be nice if they have something to play for.

Falcons over 49r's.
This game will help The Packers either way.
Would like to see The Falcins take control of South.

Rams over SeaHawks.
Never going to happen, but just want to see that idiot coach in Seattle cry a little.

I'm going to pay close attention to that Cowboy - Buc game.
Dak Prescott gets off to a bad start, you will see Jerry on the sidelines telling the coach to put in Romo.
Jerry just can't help himself, The Cowboys will implode right on National TV.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

There's one scenario that removes the Packers from the playoffs:

Green Bay is eliminated with a loss to Chicago and wins by Detroit, Tampa Bay, Atlanta, and Washington.

Fan Shout

Zero2Cool (40m) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (3h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (4h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (5h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (5h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (5h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (7h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (17h) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : 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.
