It's super unlikely I know. But what if the Lions stumble enough that the Packers win the division? Imagine how disparaged Bears, Lions and Vikings fan will be lol. They finally think their time is NOW and then we get division with youngest team AND first year starting QB lol

It's not out of the question thanks to Detroit losing to the Bears (who are playing better). Lions still have a stretch of Denver, Minnesota X2 and Dallas. That could very easily be 2 or 3 losses. GBs schedule is easiest on paper but I don't think they'll win out, probably drop a game that on paper they have a good chance of winning (Tampa would be my guess). Minnesota might have the "best" path on paper with 3 division games remaining but their offense is a complete mess at the moment thanks to injuries and their oline.

That said, I'd be lying if I haven't been thinking of GB swooping in at the last minute to steal the divison on what what supposed to be a down year and driving the other teams fans into a frenzy. It would be even worse for Detroit since it was probably the best year for them to do so and was supposed to be a break from their years of being in the cellar.

I think Lions, Vikings and Packers fans are all thinking about the division could be there right now lol

If Lions win 4 of their last 5, then they win the division.

If Vikings win all 5 of their last games, they win their division (as they play the Lions twice)

If Packers win all 6 of their last games (because they still have to play the Giants tonight) and Lions lose two, then they win the division.

Before the Giants game is played, on paper, Packers (after Eagles) have the 2nd easiest schedule left. While Vikings have the 2nd hardest schedule left. Lions 5th hardest left.

But if the Cowboys beat the Lions and the Vikings and Lions split their games, then an undefeated Packers down the stretch could take it.

All that being said, I wouldn't be surprised if Lions win 4 of their last 5 and/or Packers trip up somewhere (not Giants or Panthers).

What I've sorta been hoping for
7th seed Vikings lost to 2nd seed.

6th seed Packers go to 3rd seed NFC North Champions Lions and upset them.

So Lions get the Crown (their fans deserve something) but also get beaten showing the division still goes through the Packers.

Of course, I don't see any of these teams beating the 49ers right now.

I still remember the "you get to see how it feels now having a franchise QB now!" kinda comments.

I guess I just kinda laugh a bit. They think the three decade run is over and it might actually just keep going. It has to be demoralizing to them. And yeah, I take joy in that and yeah I know that means I'm cruel. 🤷 I'm good with it lol.

Sure is good to be a Green Bay Packers fan!!

I kid I kid!

Though it should be noted that Adrian Peterson only played on the Lions for a year, not a decade.

packerfanoutwest (13h) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break

wpr (15-Nov) : wow. That three different things for the kid.

Zero2Cool (15-Nov) : MarShawn Lloyd has appendicitis according to Matt LaFleur.
