There’s a 2010 vibe going on. North leader and 2nd seed ends GB season with a win.
Fuck the Vikings.

Both the Giants and Washington play at Noon Sunday so losses by either should give The Pack extra incentive to stomp the Suckqueens being the game is at 3:25. . And they do SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let Alexander cover Jefferson. 1-1. Do whatever you want elsewhere. But you don’t give Alexander that kind of scratch and let him turn Jefferson over to safeties.
Also the Jets at Seattle game is a 3:05 start so the Packers should know the outcome of that game too before they are finished.
I really don't think Seattle matters ... if we win the last two we need either Washington to lose one of two, or Giants to lose both to get in. Seahawks can only tie us in record and we own tie-breaker over them.
They shouldn't be watching anything or giving a fuck what other teams are doing. Just pound the vikings.
My hatred of the Vikings is so deep, I was pissed when they won yesterday and actually helped the Packers!

Seattle does matter. We have no head to head with them and they currently have a better division record so they are ahead of the Packers.
From what I understand, Packers have to win out. And Washington has to lose 1 of 2 games OR the Giants have to lose 2. No mention of Seattle.
If the Packers win out, they'll have a better conference record than Seattle (7-5 vs. 6-6), which is the relevant tiebreaker.
I just want a win, 
I’m sick of the queens and their “luck”. Totally despise em when we’re playing them. But I do kind like their (☘️) coach but only when we’re not playing them.

THIS!!!
Best get up by 50 or so cause they do (whether we like it or not) have a blueprint. Get up and keep the pedal to the metal.

Yep. Did the ESPN Playoff Machine and even if Seattle wins out as long as Packers win out and Washington losses 1 or New York losses 2 Packers are in.
And yet Seattle is still listed above the Packers.

If we win out Seattle no longer matters because of conference tie breakers. But they DO matter if we lose next weekend, because we can still get in with more help.
All that matters is we win out and either the Commanders lose 1 or the Giant lose 2.
Right now my weather app says 50% chance of rain and high of 38 degrees next Sunday. While we’ve seen the Lambeau Field advantage dwindle a bit over the years, I still think a dome team coming into some less than perfect weather will maybe give the Pack a slight boost.
Biggest concern would be playing without Nixon and Watson. Those guys have been fantastic the past few weeks and losing them will really weaken an already battered team hanging on for dear life.
Book it. Watson will play and have a great game.
not sure if that’s true about Nixon

Division record only matter for ties in a division. It's meaningless for wildcard.
Right now they are ahead because of the 3 way tie with Detroit and GB but if the Packers win out there's no 3 way tie.
Per Ryan Wood.
Caught up with Christian Watson as he was leaving the locker room. He told me his hip was OK. "I'll be all right," he said. Of course, tomorrow is a new day. Didn't seem to be much concerned with it long term, though.
2010 vibe? I don't know about the rest of you but I actually liked the 2010 team and was totally into the playoff scenarios and all that towards the end of the season. This team not so much.
Don't get me wrong, I'll cheer for them to make the playoffs, I'm just not expecting much. It's interesting that by kickoff they might actually control their own destiny again. I'd probably feel better about Detroit going into MN to end their season in the playoffs rather than us though

When they shellacked the Giants at Lambeau all they had to do was win out and they were in. They were quite fortunate that the team they needed to pass was playing them.

I also don’t get a 2010 vibe with this team either. That team had a legitimate consistently great defense that kept them in every game. It was the offense that was more feast or famine thanks to losing Finley and Grant early in the year and having other guys in and out of the lineup as well.
This team is closer to 2016 level. Playing well enough to get into the playoffs, but if they end up meeting a more dominant level team, they could easily be curb stomped if they turn the ball over a couple times. Maybe the thing that maybe gives you some hope, they hung in there with teams like the Eagles and Bills even though it looked like those teams were going to blow them out.
I think that, like the 2010 team, these Packers could go into Chicago and beat the Bears.
Green Bay is favored by 3.5 points over the 12-3 Vikings.
They'll have the opportunity to whine about a lack of respect just like they did when the Lions were favored.

fixed for accuracy! 
They should be used to being frauds every year.
It figures that Nixon got hurt just before we play the vikings. I hope his injury is not serious. I also did not see Rudy Ford, on the field much, against the Dolphins. Is he okay? We can use his speed, at DB and on STs, against the vikings.

Fuck the Vikings.
Not even a little bit. 2010, D was giving up lots of yards, but leading the league in turnovers...and they steadily improved every week.
We also had an abundance of offensive weapons at our disposal.
The NFC this year outside of 2 teams is a dumpster fire. Packers are limping into a playoff spot.
This team has been tripping on its dingaling all season and doesn't seem interested in stopping it. Thank goodness for SanTua Claus.

Couldn't agree more. This team is very flawed but they are showing signs of improvement which triggers some optimism for next year. This is not a Championship caliber team in any way IMO.

I don't recall seeing Ford at all but I missed some of the game.
And Rasul has been making a lot of fucking mistakes this year. The bloom is definitely off the rose.
There's a reason these guys bounce around. And there is a reason these guys play like crap once they get paid. Now that the backs are against the wall they start to wake up. hope it's not too late!
Jesus fuck. Can we collectively just enjoy the ride and see if this group can make the playoffs without pointing out every flaw? Nobody thinks this is a Super Bowl team.

Reading through some of the posts, it appears that some do think this is a Super Bowl team....
