TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION
Two Clubs
[ul]1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
5. Strength of victory.
6. Strength of schedule.
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in common games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
12. Coin toss[/ul]

Three or More Clubs
(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated during any step, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of the two-club format).

[ul]1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the clubs).
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
5. Strength of victory.
6. Strength of schedule.
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in common games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
12. Coin toss[/ul]

During the off season I had us 7 - 5 and going 3 - 1 in these last four games. I still say the best we do is 3 - 1 through these last four games. Obviously, that just won't be enough.

So... We need to win out.
Vikings lose out.
Bears lose two out of three and one of them two must be against us.

Yeah... so where do think the Packers will be golfing after Week 17? 🙂

I like sitting in the "ten hole" in the draft, but I will still be yelling at either the TV in the bar or this stupid monitor along with all the other crazy basthaads that inhabit the gameday chat/you know what. The difference this week is that they can no longer break my heart for tyhe rest of the week. They already did that Sunday before last. I've already gone into PPO, given out my congrats to those folks (classy response on their part, btw) and resigned myself to looking for ways to fix this team. (If ONLY they would come to their senses and put ME in charge :icon_smile: )

Bottom line, what happens, happens this year. If the Vikes win the division, I sincerely hope they do well in the playoffs, if it's the Bears, well, I'm not THAT far gone, yet...

I plan to root extra hard for Brett and co... I would sure like our 3rd to become a 2nd or better...

If we are still mathematically alive after this weekend, well, like a wise politician once said, I'm not flip-floppin', I'm merely adjusting my position as a different set of facts unfold. :thumbleft:

Yeah I tell you what being 8-8 into the playoffs... wouldn't that feel a little weird haha. I will wish good luck to whoever wins the division. Should be an interesting year in the post season regardless. This year has been crazy.

I've given up on the playoffs, and am just focusing on what really matters in the NFC North--the total and utter humiliation of the Bears, Vikings, and Lions.

Fortunately, we've got an opportunity to take care of two out of three of these ourselves in these final 3 weeks. For the 3rd, just need the Vikings to collapse like they did in 2004, 6, and 7 and go oh-fer. I liked the odds better before the judge left his injunction in and Williams and Williams will be able to play through the end of the year. But still, they'll either have Tarvaris Jackson or an injured Ferrotte at quarterback--and the Vikings still have Childress as coach...

I try to keep the truly important things in mind at times like these. 🙂

Fact is.......every week now our season is on the line.
It is litterally a MUST WIN here on out, unless BOTH the other teams self destruct.

It was a "must win" last week against a team we should have beat. We didn't. Why is that?

Pretty obvious if you watched the game.

Allowing over 400 yards passing and over 100 yards rushing is not a good formula for success...

Mucky Tundra (now) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (5m) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (14m) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (43m) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (52m) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (53m) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (57m) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (1h) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (1h) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (1h) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (1h) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol

Mucky Tundra (1h) : I'm rooting for the Lions to lose.

Mucky Tundra (1h) : God help me but I'm rooting for the Vikings to...Vikings to...Christ I can't say it

Zero2Cool (2h) : 4 td for Rodgers

Zero2Cool (3h) : Chiefs got shutout

Zero2Cool (3h) : Rodgers passes for 3rd TD. might be last game of an amazing career

Mucky Tundra (3h) : "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry."

Zero2Cool (4h) : Owner ... love it

Zero2Cool (4h) : Mayo was the guy they groomed for HC and one of the reasons they let Bill go.

Mucky Tundra (4h) : Pats have the #4 pick, lots of cap space and Maye at QB; should fetch some attention

Mucky Tundra (4h) : Well that didn't take long; Jerod Mayo out as Patriots HC

Zero2Cool (5h) : I would expect it to be higher in favor of Eagles

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Thst line seems...generous

Zero2Cool (5h) : Eagles -3.5 over Packers in Wildcard Round

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Did it though? Pokes beat the Commanders on the road with Cooper Rush previously

Zero2Cool (12h) : That gives them their best chance

Mucky Tundra (5-Jan) : Cowboys starting Trey Lance at QB vs Commanders; GB vs Philly in the Wild Card incoming!

Mucky Tundra (4-Jan) : Stinks for Lloyd. Hoping he comes back strong for next year

Zero2Cool (3-Jan) : Packers placed Marshawn Lloyd on reserve non-football illness list

Zero2Cool (3-Jan) : Luke Getsy been helping Packers defense. He's former OC Bears/Raiders and our old QB coach

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.
