Come front run with me.
Relive how the Packers got into the playoffs in 2010. And Desean Jackson's punt return touchdown did NOT make the difference in the playoff scenario.

Super Bowl bound! This is a team of destiny!
I am half convinced the Vikings lose this week to Cincy and then lose two in a row and miss the playoffs, such a Viking thing to do.
It started two weeks ago. But they still need help so it’s not really a playoff run until is win and move on or lose and you’re out.
I’m on board but it’s a tough road

Sorry but I’m a realist at heart. Chances of a 10-6 team making it are slim to none.
Here’s what comes to mind.
that seems a bit dramatic
I did this last year...Not up for another letdown...But have your fun.
I'm in. I'm not afraid.
Any room in the rumble seat?

As per usual, Scotland takes the lead in burning things down to the ground.

I wouldn't bet against the Vikes this year. They actually have a defense and a hell of a good defensive coach.Quote:

Reason #2 History Will Be Made:
Rodgers may be first QB with throwing side collarbone fracture to return in same season. Bonus Charlie Batch coverage and a surgical procedure named after the Mumford & Sons band.

How could you ever know?Quote:
Best as I could find and the doctors knew, Charlie Batch of the Pittsburgh Steelers was the first NFL quarterback to have surgery after breaking his collarbone on his throwing side, in 2008. He went on injured reserve but had no throwing issues the rest of his career.
He never missed a practice after that.Quote:

With their playoff position locked and basically all starters resting, the Eagles' sixteenth game was an NFC East rivalry rematch against the Cowboys. In the 2nd quarter the Eagles took the lead as QB Kevin Kolb threw a 4-yard TD pass to WR Chad Hall, but after that the offense had problems after Kolb dropped the ball which was recovered 17 yards for a touchdown by OLB DeMarcus Ware. They took a slight lead with kicker David Akers hitting a 43 and a 22-yard field goal, but failed to maintain this lead when QB Stephen McGee threw a 4-yard TD pass to TE Jason Witten.
With the loss, the Eagles finish on a 10–6 record.
The article is correct that we no doubt got a lot of help near the end of the season that year. I remember (after reading the article) how great it was that Detroit beat Tampa Bay.
All that said. Heck yeah, I'm on the Super Bowl wagon! Rodgers adds to his legacy by throwing for 1000 yards and 10 touchdowns in the final 3 games of the year.
Its still a mathematically viable thread. For at least one more day.
Reposting from the game thread. People probably too sick to look in there much longer.Quote:

However, on the slim chance Tampa does rise up and knock off Atlanta, things get a little brighter. Atlanta losing to New Orleans and Carolina, both motivated teams, is not that unlikely. The only other thing needed - other than two Packer wins, of course - is Dallas beating Seattle - very likely.
We'll see if the butt cheek is in or out in 3 hours.Quote:
