Official NFC Playoff Standings Thread - Week 8

[George Cumby]

GB has 5 home games and 3 away games at just MN, TB & Buff. After the NO game, it is difficult to predict how the defense will hold up, but with Adams getting better and better, and Lacy coming around as a runner while showing an entirely new facet as a receiver, the offense could be even more productive in the second half. IF they can find someway to play defense effectively, the schedule plays out well for a strong second half. Going 8-0 is very unlikely, yet arguments can be made for them winning each game. Going 7-1 or 6-2 is not unattainable.

Detroit has to go to Arizona, NE, Chicago and GB. They have Miami, Chi, MN and TB at home. It is difficult to get a handle on the Lions this year. They have won close games without CJ, and have built confidence. They have some injuries. 5-3? If luck stays on their side, maybe they can do better than that, but it is a stretch, in my opinion. The Lions being the Lions, I can as easily see them going 4-4.

IF GB ends the season on the outside looking in at the playoffs, it will be because they crashed and burned in the 2nd half of the season.

Good perspective check.

I think the Lions are for real. They're winning without CJ and winning games by all means possible, which the Packers aren't doing. Should be fun and I think the last game of the season is for the Division. Good stuff.

Oh? Did you watch the Miami game? Miami is the same team that just obliterated San Diego 37-0 in Dolphin Stadium.

We get all the Dolphin games down here and Miami looked great yesterday. What the hell happened to the Bolts?

Same old Bolts. Start fast, collapse in the middle. Previous scapegoats were the coach and the GM. Maybe Ladainian Tomlinson.

But it could be Marmalard.
