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.

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

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)

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.

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.

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. 😁😁

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me
