Oh come on. 3 wins are we're probably in!

Three wins and they pick at 19 instead of 11 or lower. As much as I dislike losing, the team will be better off with the better picks this year. I'm banking on Barry making the Panthers look like Superbowl contenders on Sunday.

What you should be cheering for this week if you're one of us crazy Packer fans that actually want the Packers to make the playoffs:

Indianapolis over Atlanta
Tennessee over Seattle
Detroit over Minnesota
Green Bay over Carolina
Jacksonville over Tampa Bay
New Orleans at Los Angeles Rams is a wash. Maybe root for a tie?

To paraphrase Ray Rhodes, if you need help getting into the dance, you ain’t deserve to be in the dance.

To paraphrase me, "Ray Rhodes sucked."

[SudsMcBucky]

And if you're actually in your fantasy football playoffs, start Bryce Young. He's certain to have a 350+ yard, 3+ TD game and look like an MVP. Oh, he'll probably run for 100+, too.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

To paraphrase me, "Ray Rhodes sucked."

8-8 and missing the playoffs due to some bullshit 4-teams tiebreaker rule ain’t suckage, hombre. Mediocrity, perhaps. Suckage, nada. Rhodes deserved at least another season.

But cold, pale and dull Green Bay couldn’t handle a Black HC AND a Black OC AND a Black DC AND a Black QB, all of whom were gone after a season, along with some fat Irish named Mike McCarthy.

Oh come on. 3 wins are we're probably in!

No, not giving up at all. It will be great when we slip in sucking hind teat. Probably one and done, maybe two before it’s over.
It will be invaluable experience - lots of learning to be had.
Next year starts now.
