Playoffs? You talking playoffs????

Interesting breakdown on how GB gets in rather than Seattle with a win....

"Which takes us to the seldomly used "strength of victory” decider, which is above “strength of schedule” in the pecking order. Seattle has a more difficult strength of schedule, but Green Bay’s opponents’ combined win-loss record clears the Seahawks.

Green Bay Packers wins

Detroit Lions (11-5)

Kansas City Chiefs (10-6)

Los Angeles Rams (9-7)

New Orleans Saints (8-8)

Minnesota Vikings (7-9)

Chicago Bears (7-9)

Los Angeles Chargers (5-11)

Carolina Panthers (2-14)

Total record: 59-69 (.461)

Seattle Seahawks wins

Philadelphia Eagles (11-5)

Detroit Lions (11-5)

Cleveland Browns (11-5)

Tennessee Titans (5-11)

New York Giants (5-11)

Washington Commanders (4-12)

Arizona Cardinals (4-12)

Carolina Panthers (2-14)

Total record: 53-75 (.414)

No combination of results this weekend can overcome that six-game gap, so don’t entertain that “what-if?” if you were going that route. The Seahawks indeed are one of the few teams that can boast a trio of wins over 10+ win squads, but the tiebreaker works out in such a way that beating, say, the Ravens (13-3) and not the Titans would’ve actually been better. Stacking victories against the bottom four teams in the NFC might be good for the win column but it’s poison for SOV. Funnily enough, only two NFC teams have a SOV at or above .500: Arizona and Carolina. Go figure."

Maff.....it matters. Only beat winning teams 😂🤣

Detroit is locked into 3rd seed right? So win today and we'd play at Lions next week?

Need the rams to lose as well, since they are 9-7, and we are 8-8

If Rams lose we get the 6th seed, we would then likely go to Dallas.

Pretty sure Lions are locked in to 3 seed. I think. 7th seed goes to Dallas, assuming they beat the Redskins. Washlincoln football team aka commandants

Lowest Dallas can be is 5th seed.   Giants beat Philly and Lions beat Vikings, Lions 2 and Dallas 3, Philly 5th.  Pack wins, Rams lose, Packers are 6th.   Depending on other games Packer could go to Dallas, Detoilet or Philly.    In NFC South Tampa, Atlanta and Saints can still win the division.   What a day to score board watch.

Yeah I was wrong on that. I would rather go to Dallas than Detroit, thinking it would be tough to beat Lions twice in one season at their place.

Actually if Philly wins and Dallas gets beat by Washington Philly is 2 seed and Dallas 5th.

Right Philly AND Dallas must lose with LieDowns winning for Detoilet to get #2.

I'm going out on a limb and say that won't happen.

To answer the thread title.

Yes.  Yes we are talking playoffs.

The season is a success for me, no matter what happens next week.

I am SO STOKED by the weapons Love has from here on out.

We MUST keep Aaron Jones on this team next year. Work it out, Gute.

That might be the first up-vote I've ever given you.  That feels terrible.  I shall down-vote you as well just for good measure.

I bet you feel dirty

Thank God Packers play Sunday. Was worried they would put the Pack on Monday Night

Here’s the playoff schedule for next weekend:

Looks like a "sick" day for me next Sunday since I work...feeling queezy now..probably feel worse by Saturday night...Yeah, I'm sure of it.

One game on Peacock.

Anyone still think GB doesn't deserve to be in the playoffs after losing to NYG?

The won 3 straight including 2 dominant wins over division rivals.

They EARNED their way into the playoffs.

You're God damn right they deserve to be there.

3 straight.

The CAR game while close at the end, was 2 horrendous penalties and a step late by Stokes on 2 TD drives. They were so close to closing that game out 30-16 had the offense generated just a couple 1st downs late.

It goes down as a "W" in the win/loss column

That's a hilarious post from JJ.  And how would anyone check on something like that?  Like let's say there are identical twins in the league, same position, different teams.  For whatever reason one can't play but the other could take his place.  How would anyone check?

Sounds like an episode of three's company.

It's been a weird year, no doubt. Admittedly they've had a good amount of luck when facing some opponents (though Barry still made a few look better than they were) and avoided devastating injuries, and yeah, the NFC is the weaker conference, they lost a couple of games against weak opponents early, couldn't take advantage of the Cousins injury, and the Saints win was a fluke, sure, but they played who was on the schedule and here they are.

Would they have made the playoffs last year? Unlikely. That schedule was tougher.

But it's not last year. They showed improvement and did enough to get in by getting hot at the right time. So yeah, they deserve it more than the teams who didn't.

Beagles ranked way too high.   I'd put them 12 and move everybody else up one.

It's too bad they couldn't beat the Giants on Sunday. Packers would have a much easier game this weekend.

That said, fuck the Cowboys. AT&T Stadium belongs to the Packers.

And how are the 49ers ranked number 1 when their own numbers list the Ravens as having a higher chance to win the Super Bowl?
