Official NFC Playoff Standings Thread - 2 Weeks To Go

[George Cumby]

Packers' will is broken.

One and done.

If the NFL hadn’t expanded the playoffs to 7 teams per conference, we wouldn’t have made the playoffs the last 3 years.
I guess, better to make the playoffs than not, but we seem to now consistently be the worst, good team by the end of the season.
Not sure that makes any sense.

This season has gone from excitement, to concern, and finally apathy.

For me, I'd switch out apathy to depression. For once, I thought this team had an actual shot to go further into the playoffs instead of one and done. No way now. It's reminiscent of last year. Too many injuries, limp into the playoffs and like last year, the Packers will get their ass kicked the first game - probably lose another player to a significant injury. At least making the playoffs gives Dallas a slightly worse draft pick than had they not made the playoffs.

I really hate football right now. Just wish the season were over so I can move on instead of watching and waiting for the inevitable to happen.

I don't buy that. I'd like another crack at the Bears to be honest, but I think we will have to win one to get it. Give me Tom back on the OLine, Jacobs healthy. Halfley some extra gameplanning time. I'm not counting anything out yet. We easily could have beaten both the Bears and Denver. It was on the players, but also some tough breaks. If they had ejected the dude for his SECOND cheap shot that knocked Love out of the game might we have won that game easy? Our defense is looking shitty post Micah, and thats an issue, but I know that scheming properly can mess up opposing offenses. For all the Barry hate his defenses were MUCH better in the playoffs. This is a good coaching staff. I'd rather have Doubs muff the onside week 16 than NFCC game. We need to peak in 2 weeks, not today. That is still possible, but I'll admit being down Parsons, Kraft and Wyatt makes it a tough ask, and if Tom can't be right its even worse.

I wonder if there is a scenario where Policy replaces Gute and extends MLF?
Hire a new GM that gets to work with the existing coaching staff for 2-3 years, and then let him decide whether it’s time for a change.

I hope you are right.

If Rams beat Atlanta tomorrow and then Arizona next week, and if 49ers beat Seahawks nest week, NFC West will have 3 teams tied at 13-4.

Rams have been eliminated from NFC west title. I think they are the 6 seed now. The loser of SF/Seattle should be the 5?? Maybe I'm off on that, but I think the Rams might rest some guys tonight.
