    I thought so but there must be a possible scenario where Philly can win the division and Dallas can sneak in over GB. Otherwise, the only thing in those scenarios necessary for the Packers to clinch would be "GB win".

    Silverstein had a very confusing Tweet about it, and I think he stll has it wrong (he does say what TL reports). I think the first reports out this week were based on a bad press release from the League.

    GREEN BAY PACKERS (at Tampa Bay)
    Green Bay clinches a playoff spot with:

    GB win + PHI loss or tie OR
    GB win + DAL win or tie OR
    GB tie + PHI loss OR
    GB tie + PHI tie + DAL win or tie OR
    PHI loss + DAL win or tie

    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    If the NFL.com source is true, looks like Demovsky at ESPN is also incorrect - reported the same thing as Silverstein.

    In a nutshell, if the Packers win their last two fucking games and everything will take care of itself.
