We got what, 5 games left? We can get to 9 wins and have a shot at a wildcard berth.

Not trying to jinx us.

Watson seems to have finally flipped the switch. And now we're getting Doubs back too. The problem has been no deep threat, but we've got that now. Secondarily, guys weren't adapting their routes correctly. But Doubs and Watson seem to have been able to develop thst awareness. 

We don't need Watkins out there pulling his hammys and not knowing the playbook. We got Cobb for the underneath stuff, Lazard for intermediate. We should be able to run a fair percentage of our offense. 

It all starts on Sunday, but I think it's more likely than we think. I won't question which QB gives us a better chance to win under pressure, but the playoffs start now for us. We gotta win out, THEN we can think about bouncing the Vikes out of the playoffs.

But I do consider it to be more possible than people realize. (And I still think we should stick with the run.)

The simplest,  not easiest,  for this week anyway, is for The Giants to get beat and The Seahawks get beat .
The Packers can finish 9-8, they will need for 2 or more other teams to finish 9-8. 
The Packers lose head ro head tie breakers with most teams, but if there are 3 or more who finish 9-8 that are in contention for the wild card, The Packers win most of those scenarios.
The Packers win Sunday, then the puzzle will get a little clearer depending on the outcome of other games.

They have a 3% chance of making the playoffs, they actually have a better chance of getting the #1 overall pick. We can win out and we need alot of help thus the 3% lol. Just start playing for next year and see what we have with Love and Watson and Doubs.  Just think Hurts got what 173 yards on us imagine what Fields is going to put up lol.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Put it this way, that 3% is a mathematical calculation, presupposing "The Packers" are an identical entity, the same as they have been the whole season. 

But they aren't. 

This team is different, because the rookies are playing better now. We have a legit-ish passing attack. We did not have that earlier in the season. 

If the earlier season Packers showed up, I would assume we would lose. This is not that team. 

As for a high draft pick, I'd rather knock the Vikings out of the playoffs on their home turf.

God bless you nerd but this isn't a playoff team. Even if the offense is rounding into shape, the defense can't stop a high school JV team. We've got no pass rush with Gary out and teams move the ball at will at times. We can't tackle or get off the field on 3rd down. At this point we're better off playing younger guys to get stuff on film to work on in the offseason (Watkins shouldn't see the field unless we're lining up 5 WR).

Can the Packers beat the Dolphins and Vikings in back to back weeks?

PS: Currently, even if the Packers go 5-0... they still miss the playoffs unless Seahawks get upset by the Rams or Panthers.

And even if that does happen... Packers go face the Vikings... and a lost to the Vikings in the playoffs isn't worth it...

But what if it's not the Vikings... then it's the 49ers... 


Rebuilding makes so much more sense than chasing the fairly tale that the Packers might win the big one this year.

No thanks. I’d rather have a good draft pick than make the playoffs and get embarrassed again and give all the media (and you) more ammunition about how Rodgers can’t win in the playoffs. 

This is not a playoff team, and certainly not a Super Bowl team. Might as well take advantage of the opportunity and get a high draft pick.

If Packers are so bad at drafting, why the hell would you want to lose to get higher draft slot? I'll take some wins and a spot in the playoffs. Who knows what will happen. Look at 2010 and so many were saying same damn thing back then. Can this team turn it around? I doubt it. That 2010 team was NEVER more than 7 points behind in any NFL game. 

I agree with those saying this is not a Super Bowl team. I would still like to get into the playoffs and ruin at least one other team's Super Bowl run. e.g. Vikings. 😁😁
