It's Bucs Week

The differences are more than a "tad." In fact, they're not even comparable... at all.

Last year we held our own destiny in our hands to win the division. This year we need to win 5 straight, need Rodgers to come back for the last three of those 5, AND need to get help with other NFC losses so we can get the Wild Card.

Five wins in a row doesn't make the Playoffs outright.

Yes, this is known as sarcasm.

Run The Table II

I highly doubt it....unless Bud Carson is coming back from the dead to lead/coach this defense?

Or Fritz? 

I hope Hundley tells someone to relax this week and starts dating an actress

I loved Fritz as the DC like a lot of people on this board, but let's face it, he was coordinating one of the most talented defenses the Packers have ever had. The DL might have been top 5 in NFL history. Gilbert Brown was an elite run stopper and he was their worst starting DL. The other three guys were all elite pass rushers (Reggie was the best DL of all time, Sean Jones had 113 career sacks, and Santana Dotson had 49 career sacks as a DT). Leroy Butler was one of the best safeties in history, Eugene Robinson is 13th all time in interceptions. Evans and pre-injury Newsome were really good CBs. Wayne Simmons basically annihilated TEs. Brian Williams could cover RBs out of the backfield. The third corner (Tyrone Williams) was good enough to start for most teams.

Any coordinator was going to look good with that defensive talent. Especially that DL.

Even Dom???

Most any defensive coordinator is going to look good with elite talent at all 3 levels.  It is most telling though who the good coordinators are who do a lot with marginal talent.  Dom isn't that guy.

Ben Fennell, who I like to check in on Twitter because of his Packer fandom and all-22 cutups, is also an Eagles fan and has some interesting comments on comparisons between what a good D looks like (Eagles) and a bad one (Packers).  He has no love for Dom either.

And it’s Schwartz in Philly!

If MM can turn this team into a 10 win team and get them in the playoffs with Headlight Hundley as QB and Dum Capers as the DC then he deserves a lifetime contract. 

If he can win the next two, maybe three games, that will be the key. No guarantee Rodgers would be back for the @CAR game. 

I dont know the schedules for all teams vying for a wildcard over the final 5 games. But, with some at 7 or 8 wins already it may take 11 wins to secure a wildcard spot this year. That is now impossible for the Pack to get to.

I see three teams at 10 wins and One being out. So many of those teams play each other that 11 is unlikely

If Mike McUnderachieverson brings the same preparation against the Bucs and Browns as he did vs the Steelers, there is still some hope

We need to "Hun the Table" the next 2 or 3 weeks and {gasp} root for the Queens.

Use the ESPN playoff machine, set the criteria to WIN%, change all TIES to Home Team winning, and have GBP win out.

^They made you do that all yourself? They didn't have a button labeled 'wishful thinking'?

Been there, done that!

Stack success!

And, the vikes are ready for their meltdown...right?

Aaron Jones was on the field for the first time since his Nov. 12 knee injury. Original timeline was 3-6 weeks so he could be on the early end. https://t.co/5M07GYRZbd pic.twitter.com/O0I9ftA1S1

On defense, Clay Matthews (groin) and Kenny Clark (ankle) both went through the early practice periods — a sign they've made progress after not playing last week. https://t.co/tbmUZNAgDt pic.twitter.com/FYlSuuS5jf

If the defense plays the way they did for most of the game vs. Steelers, they should have a win in their hip pocket. 

Winston is coming back this week.

Discuss.

More interceptions and more deep balls.

Lotsa yards & points for Mike Evans!!!

This could top the all-time weirdest list . His teammates are like, WTF ???!! 

Tampa has to have strong regrets for taking him D1. 

Bizarre is too mild a word to describe it. Does he still have melted butter on his fingers from the crab legs? Some leader.  

If anyone needs a career refurbishing it is Winston.  If anyone can do it it is Dom.

Rather have them face Winston than Fitzpatrick.

ahhh, the good ol' days of Lambeau football.  note, I did not say Packers football.  Lambeau was a blast for fans back in those days. 

That snow bowl game in '85 was one of the most dominant performances I have ever seen in an NFL game.  It didn't show up in the scoreboard necessarily, but Tampa basically looked like it gave up before the game even started.  Those Florida guys had zero desire to be out there in that blizzard and they played like it.  Alphonso Carreker pretty much looked like Reggie White out there that day, I think he had like 3 or 4 sacks. 

Even though that was a pretty mediocre Green Bay team, for that 1 day, they really came out and dominated a team that wished it was anywhere on earth except for outside on a football field in a blizzard in Green Bay.  And even better, I think I had Monday off from school due to the weather!!  (Though I can't remember that for sure, but I thought I had an extra day to savor the win)

Mike McCarthy said Aaron Jones (knee) will be able to do some team drills today and will be in the "trial return" category. Same with Clay Matthews (groin) and Kenny Clark (ankle). https://t.co/RlHHRvRTOu

Another blast from the past - Oct. 1983 - GBP 55 - TAM 14

Ah, the Bay of Pigs days.

This has nothing to do with this thread/topic. Deleted.

boy, that's some real unbiased reporting there in your link, excalibur. 

I didn't even look at it - 1 of the other guys got to it before I could see it
