It sucks that the NFC games that matter to us are all late kickoffs. There is a chance that 3/4 of the way through our game, we could find out the niners are up big. What then?

And try to out all the other games that might effect each other at the same time.

Play to win, because even if up big, they could still then lose...

How do the Seahawks get #1 if the Packers lose? I'm still confused about that. Strength of schedule?

If Packers and Seahawks lose, then Packers have head to head tie breaker over the Saints and Packers take the #1 seed.

If Packers lose and Saints and Seahawks win, then it's a 3 way tie and the head to head vs the Saints doesn't matter because they didn't play the Seahawks also and the Saints win #1 seed based on NFC Standings as they only lost 2 NFC games, while Packers and Seahawks loss 3 NFC games.

If Packers and Seahawks tie head to head, then the Seahawks take it in common games played...

As if they tied (ie Seahawks beat 49ers in week 17) the Seahawks would be 5-0 in common games played between the 49ers, Falcons, Eagles and Vikings... where Packers would be 4-1 because of their loss to the Vikings.

I read this latest post and thought it was a new thread!

Also I kept them all here to make it easier to find the ebb and flow for the seeding as the season developed. Going back and finding 6 or 7 other threads would be more cumbersome.

Bears offensive lineman Dan Jiggetts recalled that Phipps changed the plays from runs to passes.

"We're in the huddle and the play comes in from the sideline to run the ball," Jiggetts said. "We're up by 50 points, but Phipps hadn't had a lot of opportunity to play. They're telling him to run the ball and he goes, 'I don't think so.' So he starts putting it back up in the air. It was a beautiful thing. Were we trying to rub it in? Absolutely. We wanted 70 points."

2020's week 16 NFL games are in the book. GB is sitting pretty to get the #1 playoff seed. It is not a lock yet, but I feel comfortable that GB will beat the Bears and not need any other teams help to secure the #1 playoff seed.

So let's assume that GB wins the #1 seed and the Wildcard Bye. As the Packers rest and prepare, the other 6 teams will be battering each other in the Wildcard round. Of the 3 teams that survive, the lowest seed team will face GB (at home) in the Divisional round of the playoffs.

Which team would you most like to see the Packers face in the Divisional playoff round?

Which team will GB most likely face in the Divisional playoff round?

I'd like the Packers to play the Washington Football Team, but I realistically believe that they will play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. GB is better now than they were in week 5 when TB beat the Packers 38 - 10. Additionally they will play in the cold of GB this time and even without a full stadium of fans, the home field "advantage" still exist. Also, loosing to them earlier in the year could turn out to be to the Packers benefit. They will know better what does/does not work against TB. Last, GB will benefit from the Playoff Bye with rest and a week without any new game related injuries.

I predict that GB will play TB and the Packers will win the game. I also predict that Seattle will beat New Orleans in the Divisional playoff round. GB will host Seattle in the NFC Championship Game.

If we survive that game, we might just be meeting up with the Seahawks once again. I can only imagine in what kind of ridiculous way we'll lose that one this time.

By defensive points it's by far Cowboys, followed by an extremely distance Cardinals, then Seahawks.

Basically I wanted to avoid the Rams and Buccaneers defenses, at least until the Rams franchise QB got a broken thumb an snow it MIGHT be easier to play them though that also means they'll be running more and they still got the best defense in points in the NFC. Also Washington might have the best DL in the NFL, so not looking forward to playing that, though I think it'd be an easy win of their lack of offense.

The team I think will play the #1 seed is Buccaneers. I'm having a hard time seeing the Cardinals, Rams or NFC East winner winning.... if we let the Bears in, I could see them winning a non-Packers game. But I don't think we're letting them in.

With Bakh's ACL injury, getting that #1 seed is all the more important. Two weeks to brainstorm ideas and practice a new unit.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Ravens release Justin Tucker, err D. Watson Jr?

Zero2Cool (8h) : Cardinals have signed TE Josiah Deguara.

Zero2Cool (15h) : If I were to "Google" it, then I wouldn't read it in your words.

Martha Careful (17h) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : from a head left turn?

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (30-Apr) : The Packers re-signed three exclusive rights free agents WR Melton, P Whelan and RB Wilson.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : February 5, 2002 (age 23) ok no. packers.com is wrong

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Micah Robinson is only 19??

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : 6 first rounders on Packers defense now

Martha Careful (29-Apr) : ty bboystyle...fat fingers

bboystyle (29-Apr) : Tom*

Martha Careful (28-Apr) : RIP Packer Safety Tim Brown

beast (27-Apr) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

beast (27-Apr) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : I could feel my body decomposing in real time when I read that

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : @MIKEYSAINRISTIL Tyler Shough will officially be the last person drafted to the NFL born in the 1900’s

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : saw the tweet, he meant the city

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : Was that for the team or the city?

Zero2Cool (26-Apr) : Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 3m Draft grade is in: Green Bay gets an A. The people, the city, the venue were all superb. NFL Draft’s next
