To get into the Playoffs the Packers need to win the NFC North or get a wildcard spot.

As of right now the Seahawks, Saints, Panthers, 49ers, Cards, and Bears are ahead of the Packers, with the Cowboys and Eagles right behind the Packers.


Of all these teams the Lions have the weakest schedule left with Packers, Eagles and Ravens being their only games against teams that have won 40% of their games or higher.

Packers have the second weakest schedule left, but they’ll have to win games even with all their injuries and then probably beat the Lions head to head (with Calvin Johnson playing) to have a chance at the division.

For the sake of looking deeper in the wild card, lets say the Lions win the division.



Panthers are one game behind the Saints and have the top wildcard spot right now. Panthers and Saints have the 2nd and 3rd toughest schedules left with over half of their games left against teams with winning records including two games against each other which very well could knock one of them down a couple pegs.

Bears have only one team (Vikings) who haven’t won at least 40% of their games, which could slow them up getting the Packers past them.

Cards have the toughest schedule left, which the Packers should be able to pass them back up.

The 49ers have 3 games left against teams with winning records.


So the Packers need to stay ahead of the losers in the NFC East and stay close to the 49ers/Panthers/Saints and they could win a wildcard spot as they should knock each other down some

Of course with the Packers injuries that's a lot easier said than done, the Packers need wins over the Giants and Vikings to keep up.

I think the Packers will need to win at least 5 of their last 7 and very well might be 6 of their last 7 to get in.

I think the Packers can win their final four games if they get Rodgers back. I’m guessing he’ll return in time for the Atlanta game. That means they’ll need to beat the Falcons, Cowboys, Steelers, and Bears. Those are all plausible wins.

In my head, I’m hoping for 7-5 or 6-6 after his return. That’ll at least give Green Bay a fighting chance, though I’m not sure 10 wins guarantees you a playoff spot in the NFC. The best scenario is they win one of their next two games and Rodgers makes an early return against the Lions.

I still think The Packers easiest route to the playoffs is to win The North.

Gonna be watching The Lions at Steelers real close today, with The Bengals losing their last 2 games, they have let everyone in that division back into the race.

Steelers have struggled this year, but they are still tough to beat at home, they are a veteran team that knows their backs are against the wall.

The Lions go into Pittsburgh today and beat The Steelers, I'll tip my hat to them, but to this point, The Lions haven't proven they can win the tough games to keep them on top.

Packers playoff run starts today, let's see if they can put it all together, rally around Tolzien and hopefully by the end of the day they will be back in a tie for 1st place.

GO! PACK! GO!

The Lions will shit themselves. They always do.

It's gonna be tough. We have to win alot of games from here on out. But so do these other teams.

We can only lose 2 more games, if we lose more than 2 games I think with all the teams playing well right now, you can say goodbye to the playoffs.

I agree GCB. If we don't get AR back soon,
we can kiss any playoff dreams goodbye.
2 more losses and the season is over.

DOOM AND GLOOM!!

Lions 6 - 4
Bears 6 - 4
Packers 5 - 5


I think Rodgers plays next week, or Lions at the latest. We'll see how things shape up then. Randall Cobb will be coming back too. Sadly, he doesn't play on defense.

The Packers aren't going anywhere with this defense anyway. Rodgers, Lacy, et al. would have to absolutely play out of their minds to have a chance even if they make the playoffs. I just don't see it, but with a guy like Rodgers, it's always possible, albeit unlikely.
