Sorry for the bad news. (Some Of You.)

The Season is not over.... There are (8) count em.. EIGHT Games Left.

If the goal is to make the playoffs the Packers are HARDLY OUT OF IT. Once the playoffs start it is a whole new season, and nothing that happened before counts.

Wild Card Teams have won the Superbowl.

Super Bowl XV - Oakland Raiders
Super Bowl XXXII - Denver Broncos
Super Bowl XXXV - Baltimore Ravens
Super Bowl XL - Pittsburgh Steelers
Super Bowl XLII- New York Giants


This evening... We have to be Thankful for the following teams in the NFC.

1-7 Detroit, Tampa, and St. Louis.
2-6 Washington
3-5 Seattle, San Fran, and Carolina.

On Tuesday morning when the Packers show up for work.. There will be (2) TWO TEAMS one game ahead of them with 8 Games remaining.

5-3 Atlanta, and Dallas or Pilly.

There will be (1) Team 1/2 game ahead of them.

5-4 New York Giants- Who are on a 4 game losing streak.

So... (8) Eight Games left and 1 game back of two teams for the Wild Card.

Perhaps it is just me, but but I reckon the season is far from over..

I didn't know that. I know everyone on here is gonna be kinda giving up, but I definitely will still hold hope.

So in other words, the NFC sucks yet again. What happened to the NFC's 13-year streak of Super Bowl dominance?

I miss those days.

you're assuming the Packers can actually win another game.

:/

I'm watching the Sunday night game with Dallas and Philly, and it's going to be a miracle if Rodgers doesn't sustain some sort of injury.

I guess my optimism is gone. Don't worry "I'll look at the tape and get that fixed."

---

Next 5 of 6 weeks we have the 9ers, Cowboys, Ravens, at Bears, at Steelers. Yes, we're mathematically still in it but if we cant beat Tampa, i doubt we can win 3 of these games and it will take winning 3 of these to make the playoffs for sure. That is assuming that Seattle & Detroit are guaranteed wins.

Maybe we will go un-defeated from here on out. Think I'm too optomistic? I dun care 🙂

That would be fantastic, but unexpected and probably not reasonable.

At this point, I'll settle for finishing the season with no injuries to major players and ending 8-8. A bad or subpar season will turn into a disaster if Rodgers, Driver, Jennings, Woodson, Harris, or a few others go down.

I am always optimistic, even when I know there is no way when it comes with the Packers, and usually try to see the bright side.

Right now the only bright side is that in my neck of the woods, the current Packer games are good for the local liquor industry.

Yes, we can still make the Playoffs. But we have a severely unbalanced team.

The last WC team to win the SB were the Giants. They had a monster pass rush that made up for the sub par DB group.

What we can't do very well is pass block. Now, if Mike McCarthy would call plays to compensate for our lack of an OL, it wouldn't be such a problem. That's the big if though. MM's not figuring it out and I doubt he will by the end of the season.

The other problem we have - if we get to the Playoffs, we don't have a very good pass rush. Like it or not, the majority of teams in the Playoffs have good to elite QBs. The way to stop a good to elite QB is to put him on his butt. It's not happening so far this season for us.

Do I think we have a shot to win it all? Sure. It's just not I'm not getting my hopes up.

Now, 2 major things can happen by the end of the season.

1) MM's playcalling changes and he starts compensating for our lack of an OL. If this happens, we'll have less 3 and outs and give our D a breather.

2) Capers figures that Kampy needs to be rushing every single passing down instead of dropping into coverage. If we have to go back to the 4-3 on passing downs, so be it. We need Kampy up there generating pressure. He doesn't even have to get sacks. We just can't give opposing QBs so much time.

These two things happen and we have a completely different team.
