Crazy that our playoff hopes may come down to a terribly timed poor penalty called on Eric Stokes.

Sad that our that our playoff hopes may come down to a stubborn refusal to move on from Amari Rodgers as the team's punt returner.

What?
Duh. I get it now. Was hoping to forget about those fumbles.

So do we have about an 8% chance now?

Lol.

I believe they said 12% with the win

Go back and watch the Washington game (no, don't really do that), but the Pack is up 7-0 and had back to back 3 and outs on D to start the game and Amari fumbles a punt killing the team's momentum in that game.

Washington only got 3 out of that fumble after recovering inside the 20, but the Pack lost the game 23-21.

And guess which team is likely going to be the 7th seed if not Green Bay or Detroit. 7-6-1 Washington.

Amari Rodgers should not have been a returner in 2021. Allowing him to return, even after all the muffs & fumbles, in 2022 was unforgiveable.

That Nixon was obviously a better option and was on the roster when Rodgers was doing his thing is unconscionable.

We may need another Josh McCown to come through for the Pack. He’s out there some where.

Carson Wentz would do the trick if Washington is dumb enough to put him back in

71% with doing their part and winning the last three

Maybe the January 7-8 Detroit game will be meaningful. Strangers things have not happened.

Given how crappy the season has been, if you look at it, the path to redemption is essentially laid. The playoffs begin today boys ‘n girls.

Granted they have to keep winning, but in the playoffs, if you don't lose you keep advancing. If the Pack keeps winning, there's only a chance they keep on going.

I think we need a couple of teams above us to lose also. Washington has to play the 49ers, Browns and Cowboys so they could lose 2 of those. NYG play the Vikes, Colts and Eagles so they too could lose a couple. The seachickens have to face the Chiefs and Jets before their last game against the Rams.

The next big game is Washington at SF.

If the 49ers lose to Washington...that hurts our chances significantly.

Our playoff scenario is as follows:

Packers win out plus +

Washington loses 2 AND Seattle loses one

OR

NYG loses all 3 AND Seattle loses one

OR

Washington loses 2 AND NYG loses all 3

------------------------------------------------------------------

Or

Packers win 2 of 3 (1 must be vs DET) +

Washington loses all 3 AND Seattle loses 2 of 3 AND Detroit loses one of next 2

Also, Packers win out, Washington loses 2 of 3 and NYG loses 3




Just need any two of NYG, Washington and Seattle to falter. Seattle to lose 1, Washington to lose 2, New York to lose 3,

The funny thing about all these scenarios is that I still think everyone else will do their part and that the least likely scenario is that Packers winning out.

Absolutely, that is by far the most likely component holding us back.

I also think the most difficult game is on deck, which I prefer. I just like our odds against Minnesota and Detroit at home if everything is still riding on winning. Minnesota has won 3 of the last 5 against us. I think LaFleur, Rodgers, and company will be out for a little revenge in that one. LaFleur looking to avoid his first divisional series sweep in each game.

What you say about Amari returning kicks is spot on. However, I don’t know that anybody, including Nixon, knew what Nixon could do in the return game until AFTER Amari was gone or nearly gone. Nixon has taken a big step since then. I know that your point was more about Amari. So I’m only adding this FWIW.

It is fun to see how the Packers actually look “sparked” anytime that Nixon gets the ball now. Maybe they should also do a few plays for him at WR, and/or Wildcat. Oh yeah, the Packers do NOT do wildcat plays. Lol.

I wouldn’t have said this a month ago or even two weeks ago. But our offense is becoming good enough that it is plausible to think of winning out. At least it isn’t as far-fetched as it was a short time ago.

The hitch to that, I think, is next weekend at Miami. That is a decent team. And GB has never done well travelling there late in the year, playing in their dark/home uniforms. Key will be the defense, I think. But if they can win, I can actually see a realistic chance of beating Minny too. I think the game against Detroit would be harder, actually.

This part of this season is taking shaping in NO WAY like I would’ve ever imagined it. But if we do manage to get a WC spot, I’ll need to formally send a written apology to Guty and MLF. Rodgers too, for that matter. I was stunned that he played really well in the cold yesterday. Hope he continues.

Yo, that's an awesome frickin idea.

Nixon at QB, Dillon and Jones in the backfield, maybe have Watson motion across. Lazard will be out there because he blocks well, then put in Lewis, who's basically an extra lineman. LOL, imagine having to defend that.

It's time for us to take out some animosity on these upstart wannabe's in our division

Nixon at times looks slow, I think I was deceived some because of his patience waiting for the blocking to form up and defending Gunners also have 4.4 speed, Guty was brilliant finding Nixon available, same with Ford, even though he doesn't seem to have as bright a bulb burning, that out of bounds hit for a 15 yrd penalty is something you'd expect from a HS kid
