    This is like being 2.5 games out of the wild card in baseball but with 4 teams to pass.

    Or I guess its just like football now.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    its gonna be tough to win the next two weeks even with a fully healthy a-rod

    and it pretty much looks like we have to win out and get a lot of help

    The thing is, if you would have told me we had any chance at the playoffs after losing Rodgers for 8 weeks, I would have said you were crazy.

    Beat Carolina, Minnesota, and Detroit.
    Carolina loses at Atlanta. (Or Atlanta loses to Carolina and at New Orleans.)
    Seattle loses to LA Rams or at Dallas (with Elliott back). (Or LA Rams lose at Seattle and at Tennessee.)

    Sounds easy enough.

    Could this be like 2010 with a late push to the playoffs? Unlikely, but there's a chance.

    Sorry, ain't gonna happen. Been here many times over the years, and whenever u have to rely on help from other teams, u can kiss the season goodbye.

    Awwwww....Don't spoil the youngsters' fun. It's like telling 'em that Santa Clause isn't real.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    What about Minnesota at Arizona, 2003? Some of those neurons must be gunked up with amyloids...

    I think Santa Claus came to town several times in that last Super Bowl season.

    What Harvey said above is very much a possibility. The toughest hurdle could be knocking off Carolina at their place, even with Rodgers.
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

    I'm expecting the Pack to get blown out in Carolina. I think Arod will be running for his life if he plays. If we pull off a miracle and win there, I'll become a believer. I really thought last year was gonna be our repeat of 2010. Santa dropped off a lump of coal. LOL

    I expect the Vikings to lose out and we win the division.
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

    how good are our chances of making the playoffs?

    math nerds teamed up and have said we have a 95% chance of NOT making the playoffs.

    even with rodgers returning

    and that might be a huge improvement, last week the odds of us making it were 750-1

    Should have put a $10 down on that. Just like betting on Leicester City.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    What are the odds of us advancing if we do make the playoffs, even with Arod? Our D usually blinks when we're up against an elite QB.

    Just to set the record straight, I'm ready to cling to that 5% chance for all it's worth! And a playoff run to the SB would be great, great fun. But I'm not betting the farm on it.

    And this is why I don't have a problem with McCarthy. He and this staff kept this beat up bunch together for 2 months with string and duct tape. Let's hope we get good news from MM today about #12.
