If its a two way tie, Packers were ahead on conference record last I looked, but also had one less conference game.

If we win on Sunday don't we clinch a playoff spot?
Not quite.
The Packers clinch a playoff spot with:

5) an Eagles loss plus a Cowboys win or tie.
Why would a Dallas win over Indy mean anything? Indy is an AFC team.
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

Just win, baby. The playoff picture will clear itself up.
And yes, it's possible that an 11-5 team will miss the playoffs, so the pressure's on, which I think is good for GB. Might as well start acting like it's the playoffs now.
I think the wish to have Dallas win is too pussified. Ya, through some strange math it guarantees a packer playoff spot. But then that assumes the peckers will lose to lions. Are we not men? Go for the homefield against Dallas. Lose 'boys, lose.
I'm reviewing the game slowly now over two days and Buffalo's Offense played as bad as the Packers up and until the score turned Bills 13 and Packers 10. To that point the best player on the field for both sides was the Bills Mario Williams.
In the next series a complacent Aaron Rodgers returned and with 3:09 remaining in the third quarter he give up his first pick in 203 passing attempts. That was the pass to Randall Cobb where Rodgers forces it with a wide open Jordy Nelson on Rodgers RHS. It's strange why Rodgers doesn't check down to Nelson for a relatively easy pass reception and a sure TD.
That result would have put the Packers up 17-13 and all things the same give the team a huge win.
So Rodgers got picked...his first of two and he walks off the field not showing any of his normal fire. To this point in the game Rodgers had no 'piss and vinegar' in him. He appeared complacent and somehow not in the game as I'm seeing usually.
Something was wrong with Aaron Rodgers. He simply didn't look himself. He put the loss on himself and he was correct to do so.
Come On Aaron. The team dies without 'YOU'.
