I'm actually hoping Ryan and Turner are alright. I'd much rather earn the WC spot instead of slide into it because the other team is so beaten up.

Heh. The irony that da Bears have a shot at being spoilers for us. Kind of worried it may be a trap game. Lovie Smith hates us and will do everything in his power to win that game.

There is no such thing as 'sliding into the playoffs'.

At the end of the season the playoff teams are the playoff teams.

From then its a new season and each team has a shot - any given sunday.

And anyway, I'd rather 'slide in' than not be there at all and let another team 'slide in' instead of us.

I know British. I'm just saying, I'd rather both of them being 100%, then beating them.

I don't care if they lose their whole starting lineup. It won't make me feel any different about the Packers making the playoffs if they do.

We lost 2 of our better players on a defense that we just implemented this year and replaced them with Jarrett Bush and a rookie 7th rounder. I have no sympathy for another teams injuries.

Agreed.... A couple things I was hoping for this season was to sweep the Bears and beat the Cowboys. The other was to make the playoffs. I didn't dare think any further ahead than that. The Cowboys goal has happened and now the Bears sweep is next. I don't care if they have none of their starters playing either.

Once we get into the playoffs it's going to get a lot tougher. The way the team is coming together right now gives me hope we can go 11-5 and be a strong contender in the post season. I just wish Al and Kamp were still playing. I would feel a lot more confident.

Yes, especially considering if we make it to the Championship Game, we'd most likely be facing Favre or Brees. Both are elite QBs and both will attempt to exploit our 3rd CB.

We could also use Kampy on the DL, which I'm sure Capers would have done more as in the last few games Kampy played, I remember him lining up on the line every once in awhile.

here is a cute link NFL.com had - if the season ended today

That link was made obsolete by the Monday Night game.

With the Patriots Loss, San Diego moved ahead of the Bengals for 2nd place. It changed back and forth as game were completed Sunday.

The Chargers and Bengals are tied in record, Conference Record, Strength of Victory. Strength of Schedule is now the difference .463 for the Chargers and .430 for the Bengals. A Packer win against the Bucanneers would have helped the Bengals......

Key games for playoff positioning next week other than Ravens at Lambeau, are Cowboys at Giants, Eagles at Falcons, Texans at Jaguars.

That's one scary thought.

If we slip in with the nr. 5 spot and win in the wild card round, we'll most likely see the Vikings in the divisional round. Or if we get in with the 6th seed, we'll have to go up against the Saints.

And if we where to win that game, we'd most likely face the Saints or Vikings in the Championship game, like you said, only to go to the SB and most likely meet another scary QB in Phillip Rivers, Peyton Manning or maybe even Carson Palmer.

We better start shutting down some QBs in that case, lol. At least Bell should be able to help us a little.

Getting into the playoffs is the first big step, once The Packers are there then it becomes a whole different ballgame.

No one knows what will happen when it comes to the playoffs, but the experience alone for this team in invaluable for the future.

Remember it took Holmgrem 5 years before he got the team to The Superbowl.

Add Kurt Warner to that list of elite QBs we might be facing in the CG. I don't think it's an argument any more that Warner will go into the Hall of Fame.

packerfanoutwest (10m) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (1h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (12h) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (12h) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (12h) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (15h) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (15h) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (16h) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (18h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (18h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (18h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (18h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (18h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (18h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (18h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (18h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (19h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (20h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (20h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (20h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (20h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (21h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (21h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (21h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (22h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (22h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (22h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (22h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
