12/12 Other games thread

[easy cheesy]

It's december football and at New England is next for Packers - a loss for sure. The Q is rather: will Packers have a win season? I think so - Packers will go 1-2 and hopefully we beat Bears. Giants game is close to a 50-50 game but Pack OL is taking steps back, as is play calling & offense still is out of sinc. 2-1 not impossible but Pats will virtually "end" our season next week.

Nothing, and I mean "NOTHING" is "for sure".....

Actually I think we need help from the Vikings. Assuming we win out, we would have 2 division losses. Bears would only have 1. We need Minn to beat the Bears. That's why today's shit show was so bad.

yes. This was the one game we couldn't lose. The rest of them? Bad, but not that bad. This one hurt. Now math comes into play.

Well if we win out wouldn't we just need one Bears loss . If Bears lose to Pats (looks very likely) and Jets, and we beat the Pats - we're even by next week. If we're tied whoever wins the final game of the year gets in. Of course winning out isn't easy at all especially when we play the Patriots and Giants, but us getting beat by the Lions could be a good thing. Hopefully the Packers will be pissed and want to redeem themselves next week vs the Pats on prime time.

WEEEEEEE!!!!! I'm soooooo happy that San Francisco is beating up on the "Hawks"....... GAWD .... this city is so full of fair weather asshats it's not even funny.... I could give two toots less about San Fran... BUT... they are beating the Seahawks, and that's a beautiful thing..... ***sigh***... What a piece of crap division.....

Yes, after the Bears lose today they need another loss. The preference would be for them to lose to Minn. That way we could (possibly) end up tied with the Bears record wise and still win the division. I say possibly because I don't know how all the tiebreakers would work out after that.

We would have same record, same record head to head, same division record, same record vs NFC opponents. I dunno where it goes next from there.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say you were one of those people who said the Jets were going to kill the Packers and whined about that game all week until the Packers won right? Patriots are playing great right now, but its the damn NFL and anything can happen in any week in case you didn't know (see this week).

Thanks for a well thought out answer. It seems hard to get them after the Packers lose and the forum turns to gloom and doom.

There's nothing better then rooting against the Bears! Hopefully they fall apart in their final games...now that would be a beautiful sight (and not too unrealistic).

Good one ! That's pretty funny.

You live across the grand herring pond; so I guess bragging rights are on the line and I'll buy you beers if you should hit that narrow window in which I visit Lambeau. And vice versa.

You're making stuff up; calm down. My posts during Jets week are recorded - knock yourself out - and stop your whining over alledged whining.

I do get pretty miffed after Packer losses and I rant my "Fire Stubby" stuff. Just walk away [from my post Packer game posts]!

No problem..and I know what you mean about the forum, although I can't really blame people after today. Today was a huge step back but until the Packers are officially out of it I'll keep the hope alive.

Deal ! Man, I still hope Packers win - I always do.
