How this plays out

Well, it's to positive for some in this crowd, but I like it. 

While unlikely, it's not out of the question.  

In your scenario Seattle probably beats AZ week 17.  Then the Packers are the 2 seed, Seattle 3, NFCE 4, Cards 5 and Queens 6.  

Good chance Cards could be looking ahead a week when they play us as that matchup with the Seahawks, like ours with the Vikes, could potentially decide the division.

If we play the Vikes the last Sunday with the division title on the line, wouldn't that be the third year in a row we had to win the division on the day of the final regular season game?

Yep, 3rd year in a row.  2013 vs Bares and 2014 vs Lions were both for the division.  

This would be the 4th year in a row that playoff seeding was on the line in the final game.  In 2012 vs the Queens, had the Packers won, they'd have had a bye and the Bares would have made the playoffs.  

the 2 seed is not as unlikely as some think.

but in the end, it just depends which Packers team decides to show up.

Posting this as a PSA for all especially those who are planning to attend (the rumor mill has it that Packer fans in attendance will outnumber the AZ crowd).

@JeffAshGB: No change in #Packers at #Cardinals game on Dec. 27, per @NFL. Stays on Fox at 3:25 p.m. CT.

GBP has to play @OAK first, not a gimme.

ARI has to play @PHI first, not a gimme.

ARI would have to lose their last 3 to lose the NFC-W to SEA.

• Q: David Lang, Savage, MN - Thanks, for the chat, Michael. Here's a plausible scenario for the last 3 weeks and playoffs... Packers win out and Seattle beats AZ in week 17. Packers get tiebreaker with AZ and a 2 seed and a bye. Seattle beats the winner of the NFC East dumpster fire and AZ beats MN or whatever horrible team that slips past the Queens into the 6th spot. The well rested Pack hammers the Cardinals in a frigid Lambeau field and when Seattle defeats the evil Charlottes, the Pack will have an NFC rematch with the SeaPigeons where the will exact some revenge for last year's meltdown. Then it's on to the SuperBowl against the Patriots where the Pack wins when Bill Belicheck can't find a way to cheat his way to a second consecutive SuperBowl victory... Sounds reasonable to me. What do you think?
• A: Michael Cohen - 1. Points for optimism 2. Points for the excellent team nicknames 3. I can't think that far ahead!

I would love that scenario! 

I will be there at the Cardinals game with my brother-in-law who lives in Phoenix. I will be wearing my vintage Majik Jersey that people have offered to buy off my back. It's bitchin'

Well E=IR but really, you just need pie.
