How so? Even if the Packers lose to the Vikings, they can beat Lions and get into the playoffs. Playoffs are win or you're out and the Packers can still lose and get in. That's just being mathematically honest. š š (a little bit of a smart-ass honest too!)

So yes, in most probable scenarios, they had to win the last 4... and for them to control their own fate, still must win out.
Math says the Panthers are still alive... the Panthers are not making the playoffs. Not without a ton of help and craziness. Packers don't have the current outlook without winning last 4.. thus they have been playing playoff football to afford current mathematical possibilities.
