[quote="DakotaT"]Our offense screwed the pooch again in the red zone./quote]

I don't understand the "again" part. The Packers have done very well in the red zone this season. Even in this game, the fumble was the only problem. In their other three red zone appearances, they got two TDs and a field goal.

Let's not turn a failure on one drive into a chronic shortcoming.

I wouldn't consider a FG a successful outcome when the team makes it down to the red zone, though. It is just the same as punting, the field position is the only difference. Obviously a FG is better than punting, but I still say that a FG is not exactly a success.

My thoughts...if Brickhands Johnson catches that one pass on the goal line, Rodgers never gets the chance to fumble, which turns into an eventual Falcon TD. 7 point swing right there, game!

Shoulda, woulda coulda though...oh well.

So two TDs and a field goal is not good enough. Apparently they must score a TD every single time they are in the red zone. High standards.

Worst part.. the pass wasn't intended for him.

Which is why it was nearly impossible to catch. Brick hands, my ass. If he's guilty of anything, he may have run the wrong route. Or maybe the other guy did. Or maybe Rodgers underthrew it.

Not at all. I'm just saying that coming out with a FG is good, but obviously we would much rather have a touchdown. If we force a turnover in the opposing team's 1-35 yard line, putting us in FG range immediately, we could do nothing and kick a FG on 4th and 10. Do you consider that series a success? Kind of, but in a tongue in cheek sort of way. Does Aaron Rodgers and his supporting 10 consider a FG a success, or are they upset that they didn't come away with 6? The field position is the only thing that changes how you feel about it, which in this case had nothing to do with the offense. I just don't like going to 4th down. Ever.

A field goal at the end of a long drive is a success in a tongue-in-cheek way? Can you explain what you mean by this? I'm confused how considering a field goal to be a success is a humorous assessment.

Considering we lost all four freaking games by a FG and would have won the Redskins game with one at the end I'll take whatever points we can put up.

IMO I think it is wise to take the points whenever your on the road playing a good team. Especially in games where it's pretty obvious neither team is going to go up and down the field scoring a ton of points.

Now in certain games like possibly NE coming up when the scoreboard is more than likely going to get lit up and the team your playing isn't that stout on defense I say you go for it there.

On the other hand when we play teams like NY or the Bears I say put the 3 points on the board every time.

Zero2Cool (1h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (1h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (1h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (1h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (1h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (1h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (1h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (1h) : 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 (2h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (3h) : 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 (3h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (3h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (3h) : 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 (3h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (4h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (4h) : 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 (4h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (5h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (5h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (5h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (5h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (6h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (6h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (7h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (7h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (8h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (8h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (8h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (8h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (8h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (8h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (8h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (8h) : 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 (8h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (8h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (8h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (8h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (8h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (8h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (8h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (8h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (8h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (9h) : Packers will get in

beast (9h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen
