So you're saying there's a chance........

That doesn't seem to account for Atlanta.

That Love will start 3 games, yes.

Hahahahaha.

I can't wait to see him in extended playing time.

More likely 2, but hoping for 3.

If you're still holding out hope that the Packers might make the playoffs, today was a good day with the Giants and Seahawks losing. Yes it would have helped if the Lions would have lost, but at least the Packers have another shot at them. Packers are currently the 10th seed, 2.5 games behind Commanders and Giants with 4 to go.

This team seems better suited to compete for some higher draft picks. Why go to the playoffs just to be mediocre.

It's hard to turn off your "rooting switch". But you're right. It's critical to get some good players out this next draft.

Last game of year. Packers vs Lions. Winner goes to playoffs. Loser picks 16-18. You cheering for Lions?

[texaspackerbacker]

I could see the Lions being out by that time, although they play a fairly easy schedule. And HELL NO, losing to get a higher draft pick i.e. tanking, just ain't in Packer DNA. Shame on any "fans" wishing for shit like that.

The Packers securing a wild card or coming close to one is akin to steering the Titanic away from the first iceberg, only to hit and be sunk by the next.

[texaspackerbacker]

They, undoubtedly being the lowest WC team, would play the 2nd division winner, probably the Vikings. You can't see the Vikings quaking in their boots fearing that, and the Packers going to their dome and beating them?

The script was written for this season our last Super Bowl year - what was it? 2014?

If, and that's a BIG if, the Packers made the playoffs, it would've required them winning their last 5 games in a row. (they ain't making it losing any more.) They'd be hot going in. I'd take my chances in that situation.
