Not to mention that have a pretty darn good rushing attack to rely on. Or at worse, better than ours. Also, Sproles can't seem to be stopped in the passing game. Our LBs sure as hell can't cover him.

Personally I think the big problem for the Packers with NO is going to be Graham. They haven't stopped a good TE all year, if I recall.

With our porous D, getting HFA is pretty key imo to have a good chance to repeat. Right now, the Packers are going to be sitting home a lot. Outside of a short flight to KC, there's a pretty good chance every other game the rest of the way will be in Lambeau until the SB.

SF and NO will probably matchup in the divisional round and they will knock each other around a bit. Packers will need to worry about the winner of the 4/5 game and could draw a tough opponent in the Giants again if they win the NFC East.

Getting NO in Green Bay is huge because the Saints aren't exactly a warm weather team. They didn't necessarily fair well in 2006 when they went to Chicago for the NFC Championship Game when a lot of people picked them to beat the Bears that season. Green Bay will be well adjusted to playing in the cold the next several weeks and that bodes well for their chances going forward.

The Packers have clinched the #3 playoff spot.
The 49'ers have clinched the #4 playoff spot.
Although close, the Saints have not yet clinched a playoff spot.
One more Packers win or one more Saints loss and the Packers clinch a first round bye (#2 playoff spot).

Currently
Packers 12-0, Conference 10-0, Strength of Victory .426, Strength of Schedule .426
49'ers 10-2, Conference 8-1, Strength of Victory .400, Strength of Schedule .444
The Packers and 49'ers have 3 common games and both are 3-0 so common games will not be a tiebreaker.

Saints 9-3, Conference 6-3, Packers have head to head tiebreaker, SOV .438, SOS .453
In common games with the Packers the Saints lost to the Rams and are .500 with the Buccaneers. The Packers win that tiebreaker.

Be interesting to see how the playoffs work out ... I do agree the saints will be tougher to beat and am hoping the niners and saints go head to head be for a good game.

Cant believe last game - was a close one. Giants D sure was tough ... made our front 7 look a bit porous.

I think the Saints very well could beat the Packers... but they'll have to get through the 49ers on the road first. And I think the 49ers are very under rated but the match-ups just don't favor them... at least not if Clifton get back 100% ... with Newhouse he might have some trouble but the Packers still have been able to adjust for that.

As for the rest of the season games I think the question is will the Packers be going 100% against the Bears and Lions? If not then they could lose...

Also the match-up favor the Lions as long as they have everyone... the Packers didn't do so well until Suh got kicked out...

NFL.com says the Texans currently are the #2 seed for some reason... but I'm not sure why... I think CaliforniaCheez did it right from what I understood.

Also I think I read the Steelers are leading now... but that's just because they won on Thursday and the other have yet to play this week.

beast (4h) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (7h) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled
