Official NFC Playoff Standings Thread - 5 Weeks To Go

[Rutnstrut]

It’s December during a season in which we lost our star quarterback and we are still talking playoffs.

Yet some still whine, complain, bitch and moan.

Man up, you Nancies.

Funny how when Favre was traded many here said he's only one player it doesn't make the team. Yet now when homers want the one star player excuse, it's all good.

You are conflating the situations. I’m making dinner and would put more time into the post otherwise.

QBs like Marino, Favre and Rodgers are necessary for a championship, but not sufficient. Also, see Young, Steve, at Tampa Bay, for another example.

There's no way we're making the playoffs; but, if by some miracle we did?? we'd be bounced very quickly.

You guys need to face reality - the Green Bay Packers are not a good football team. Horrible defense - just horrific.

Even the defense will be helped when Rodgers is back - less time on the field and opponents often playing catch up.

I don't remember advocating trading Favre and starting a McCown. Or a McNown. Or the other McCown.

I totally agree that Rodgers is what makes this team any good at all. Unfortunately that's pretty much it. If not for AR, TT and stubby are below mediocre.
