Early Games

Forgot step 3.

Profit.

As great as this Cardinals win was, now I'm even more pissed at the Rams for losing last night...had they won, the Pack would control their own destiny for the #1 seed.

Half full or half empty?

The 49ers haven't won in Seattle since 2011. Seattle looked bad today, but I would be surprised if they play two consecutive bad games at home. I like their chances next week. Packers have to take care of business tomorrow for it to matter.

A rough loss grows much, much worse for the #Seahawks

 

: Coach Pete Carroll told reporters that RB Chris Carson (hip) is out next week and docs believe he may be out for the playoffs. RB CJ Prosise broke his arm. And LT Duane Brown will have knee surgery tomorrow, but could return.

Makes our losses against the Eagles and Chargers that much harder to swallow.  One win against either of those schmuck teams and we’re not even having this conversation.  The queens could be looking at the 5 seed now, gives them some incentive for Monday night.  Shoot.

They do control their own destiny.   Win out and they are the #1 seed if Seattle wins against the Whiners.  Win out and they secure the #2 seed. 

The Packers would be the worst #1 seed ever.

And possibly the first 1seed to be a home underdog if we saw the Niners again 

It’s going to be an exciting week to be sure. And it’s not the first time the Cards have helped us with a little playoff positioning...

@MI PACK - I wish I could like your post to infinity. I can't believe a decade & a half later, I still get chills & laughs from watching Nate Poole make that catch. 

Of course today, it wouldn't be a catch. Makes it all the more crazy. 😆

@Boris Any excuse to link that video, and I’m going to take it. Paul Allen’s visceral call, Nate Poole’s key to the city, you have to love it. This one is at the top of my non-packer game football moments, slightly over the Favre “this is not Detroit, man” and Gary Anderson’s missed kick. My wife went into labor with my first child immediately after this game (who is turning 16 this week, Jesus I’m old) and I directly attribute this moment to her giving birth a week early and getting the end of the year tax break. 

What’s so funny to me after watching it in YouTube the next video that comes up is worst Minnesota Viking playoff moments and it’s a 10 minute long video!!!!

The hero we need for the number one seed.

My son was born on 12/30 and I was overjoyed to receive the tax break.
He turns 56 in a few days.

that clip is epic but someone made a combo clip that had Paul Ellen saying Noooo and somone from the Packers saying yesssss. That is my favorite of all time

My most favorite was the Favre INT against the Saints.  

The Den Knee, missed kick Falcon game for me.

@Boris

because you like this gif so much...

Packers got a sixth-round pick from the Seahawks for Brett Hundley, who is now giving the Packers a huge assist by beating the Seahawks in a game with playoff implications

That must have required some extensive editing. 

Gutey is the new Emperor of NFL. 😁

I don't care what they would be considered...I will take a chance to host the NFCG against anyone any day of the week. Plus, being the #1 as opposed to the #2 would likely mean NOT seeing New Orleans until the NFCG as opposed to the game before that

So what?  The Packers will see whatever teams are playing superior ball in the playoffs.  I have no idea why it would matter when they lost if they are going to lose.  Shit, I'll take the better draft pick if the Packers in the playoffs is supposed pure folly.
