NFC playoff picture

Interesting.  Lots of football still to be played.  I'm not saying AZ is going to crumble, but losing Palmer has to be a big hit.  I think they still have SEA (2) and SF (1), its possible/probable they could lose 5 of their next 7.   

This week is huge for the wildcard.  We are losing all the tie breakers right now because all of our losses are in conference and against other playoff contenders.

 

We need to win this one and root for Dallas / AZ / San Fran.   Puke.

we just need to keep winning....the rest will take care of itself. End of story.

Why do we need to root for SF to beat NYG?

And I find it hard to hate AZ after this (should be safe for work).

This.

Yeah!  Fk the Whiners!

Updated. We're now the 5 seed.

"Why do we need to root for SF to beat NYG?"

 

We need to root for them against SEA in regards to tie breakers. 

Cool. We would travel to Atlanta for our first playoff game. Wonder what they would talk about leading up to a playoff game in Atlanta?

 

Too bad the regular season isn't over yet

Why do I see us at the Super Dome playing a 7-9 Saints team?

 

Don't be such a pussy Ref.

The Saints should finish at least .500 w/ games against Carolina, @Chicago, @Tampa and Atlanta still and maybe one against Pitt or Baltimore.

Why do I see us at the Super Dome playing a 8-8 Saints team?

 

That feels much better.

I would rather go to New Orleans again then play San Fran or Seattle. Those are teams capable of getting hot at the right time, especially SF with Aldum Smith back. 

Top two NFL teams in point differential at 105: New England and Green Bay.

We're winning the North. Case closed. We light up the Vikes this week, Pats do the same to the Lions, then we win a showdown at Lambeau to cement our lead. Blitz through all the games up to the Lions match, which we'll need to win to get a bye.

 

Just watch.

We're going 12-4 and going to be the #1 seed.

 

 

I'd feel better about that if they end up 13-3. Will need ARI to lose 4 of their last 6 for 12-4 to get the #1 seed.

Clearly winning out would be much better.  AZ has 2 with Seattle, 1 with SF though.

 

I think we are in great great shape as a 1 or 2 seed.  That said, we won it all as a 6 seed, so...

And AZ has the Seabags twice, the Chiefs and they end the RS at San Francisco.  They're going to lose a couple of games.  

 

This playoff picture as of now is going to look a lot different by the time we get there, IMHO.

Lotta ballgame left.....Much can & will happen.

 

I never really start looking at this until week game #14 is completed.

 

If we're sitting at 11-3 with 2 games left, I'll feel very good about our chances to make the playoffs

 

EDIT: Before anyone gets too high on the Saints as having it "easy". Brandin Cooks broke his thumb yesterday

I think the #1 seed is kind of a long shot, but who knows. I think the #2 seed is easily within reach, though, and I think when the regular season's all wrapped up, that's where we'll be.

 

Not that I have much love for DAL SF SEA PHI or DET, but it's sort of a shame that one of those teams (or potentially us even) are going to be denied a playoff spot because someone from the putrid NFC South is going to get it.

        Wait until the cold front goes through Jacksonville tonight and it goes down into the 40s. 

[qoute]Wonder what they would talk about leading up to a playoff game in Atlanta?[/quote]"They were the better team... tonight."

Last year we were 8-7-1 & I'm sure the Cardinals weren't happy about having to stay home with a 10-6 record because "someone from the putrid NFC North gets to go to the playoffs." That's why your division games are so important & why MM puts so much emphasis on winning them.

 

At least GB had a winning record, even if it was by the seat of their pants.

 

I'm not saying the playoff formula should be changed, but when Seattle got in that year with a 7-9 record, it bugged me a bit. The way things are going in the South, 6-10 may be enough.

 

I'll tell you, if GB gets a wildcard, and has to go to ATL for the opening round, I think that would be just fine.

CAPackFan95, I may be wrong and 12-4 could get them the #1 seed. As long as GB's 4th loss is against NE (AFC) and ARI has at least 3 L's from the NFC then the 17th level tie-breaker probably comes into play.

 

 

So these 50 burgers might prove useful for something more than office smack for us fans.

 

Oh looky looky-----I need to attend to some business in Vero Beach this week---what a coincidence!

We got this.

Jesus ****!

Not sure Pack can get the #1 seed unless they win out, but they do have a chance at the #2 seed as long as they take care of their own business

 

Getting a bye and a home game would be great, and does anybody really fear having to travel to Arizona for a game? Perfect weather for Rodgers and Pack fans would probably fill their stadium

 

Only tough games for GB are the Patriots and Lions, but they at least get both of them at home.  @ Buffalo could be your garden variety trap game considering the Bills defense is legit....but Pack should win that game because the Bills just don't have the weapons on offense or at QB to put up points

We're poised to go on a run. I saw elsewhere on the internet that we're currently the Vegas favorite among NFC teams to win the Super Bowl....

Well if it's on the internet it must be true!!

Those "odds" aren't 100% accurate. 

 

Best I could get was 12-1 on the Packers to win the Super Bowl before the season started.
