Before The Pack plays again(next mon), the picture could become even clearer...IMHO I have to root for Dallas and Philly this week, they win and Packers win, The Pack will have a 2 game lead on everyone else.

Reality is we are in the wild card race, we would still be tied with The Eagles(record wise), The Eaglles have the tiebreaker at this point, but that can change in the future weeks.

Packers sitting good right now, just take care of their own business and at the end of the reg. season let's see where they stand.

Stats:
Week............12..........13..........14.......15......16...............17
Dallas...(8-3)..W........vs nyg...vs sd...@no....@was......vs phi

Eagles..(7-4)...W........@atl.......@nyg....vs sf..vs den.....@dal

Packers(7-4)...W........vs bal....@chi....@pit....vs sea.....@ari

Giants..(6-5)....L.........@.dal.....vs phi..@was..vs car......@min

Atlanta.(6-5)....W........vs Phi....vs no...@ nyj..vs buf......@tb

LOL...yea it goes against every competive bone in my body, but I would really like to see The Packers clinch a WC spot before week 17, don't want someone resting their guys against a team that we would need to lose to get in. So I will grudgeingly hope they win this week.

Packers just need to win this week, whatever happens in those two games it is going to benefit them...if they beat The ravens.

Quick thoughts:

- The Eagles, Giants, and Falcons are the only teams were competing against for the WC. The 49'ers could make a late run but our head to head win gives us the nod over them, so they really don't matter.

- @Chicago, Seattle, and @Arizona. If we win 2 of those games and lose the rest I think we'll make the playoffs. Our conference record would be 8-4, which I'll wager heavily will be the best conference record among the wildcard hopefuls. It would then come down to records vs common opponents, which I havn't looked at yet.

-We want the #5 seed. Who would you guys rather play on the road in the first round, Arizona or Dallas? I'll take the Cardinals.

-Cheer for Dallas, as hard as it may be. If they beat both the Giants and Eagles to end the year, we could probably make the playoffs with 9 wins. It also gives Arizona little incentive to win when we play them as they'd be locked into the #4 seed.

10 wins and were in and probably the #5 seed. 9 wins with two of those against Chi, Seattle, or Arizona and we'll probably sneak in as the #6 seed.

Just checked out common opponents for the Packers against the other wildcard contenders. One thought I'm left with is that our game at Chicago is the most important game of the year. That win goes a long way in the tie breaker procedures.

Philly
Common Opponents: Cowboys, Bears, 49'ers, Bucs
Packers record: 3-1 with 1 game remaining @Chi
Eagles record: 2-1 with 2 games remaining, 49'ers, and @Dallas

Giants
Common Opponents: Cowboys, Bucs, Cardinals, Vikings
Packers record: 1-3 with 1 game remaining @Cardinals
Giants record: 2-1 with 2 games remaining, Dallas, and @Vikings

Falcons
Common Opponents: Cowboys, Bucs, Bears, 49er's
Packers record: 3-1 with 1 game remaining @Chi
Falcons record: 3-1 with 1 game remaining @Bucs

I'm actually hoping Ryan and Turner are alright. I'd much rather earn the WC spot instead of slide into it because the other team is so beaten up.

Heh. The irony that da Bears have a shot at being spoilers for us. Kind of worried it may be a trap game. Lovie Smith hates us and will do everything in his power to win that game.

Well, Ryan will miss the next game with a turf toe. Don't worry about them not being competitive though, Chris Redman showed his capable of leading his team into a victory.

How does everyone feel about the possibility of playing in Arizona two weeks in a row? If the matchup is set by week 17, do both teams play vanilla in week 17 to avoid tipping their hand for the playoff game the following week?

Was thinking about this, as well. That 'd be pretty funny.

Thing is, though, that we won't be able to sit back in that game.

They will.

I'm afraid that we're only 9-6 at that point, so we'll have to win to clinch a play-off spot. And if we are 10-5, 11-4, we'd most likely play them to get up a seed and not play them again the week after.

Although, if we'd somehow win every single game, it might just become the most boring game of the year with the 11-4 Packers, certain of a WC spot, playing 2nd stringers and the 10-5 Cardinals, who've clinched the NFC West, playing 2nd stringers. Or at least playing a little laid back.

I disagree that the Eagles, Falcons and Giants are the only teams we're competing for in the WC.

The Cowboys have a brutal schedule and could quite possibly lose the rest of their games to finish 8-8. Their easiest game is a bitter rivalry match against the Redskins who almost beat them a few weeks ago.

I'm rooting the Cowboys beat the Giants on Sunday because Dallas could win that and still end up 9-7.

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)
