Rodgers with 2 concussions, might not play against NE. Even if he does, they are on a roll.

Oline is terrible w/ no running game.

Defense has lapses on occasion and gives up a big play.

We went from Super bowl contenders to trying to make playoffs in part because of injuries.

Very upsetting season for a Packers fan and I have seen NO SECOND TEAMER, step up and give me that WOW factor for filling in. Zombo, Shields, Starks, Quarless, Bishop and Peprah all mediocre.

Sad sad state.


Next topic, Playoff or draft ??

---

I'm looking to the draft. O'line is a must and a good RB to compliment Grant would be nice.

The Patriots game is essentially a red herring. Whether the Packers win or lose has negligible, if any, effect on their playoff chances.

---

Not understanding that quote? It is huge if they win. They need to win out.

---

I'm confused, can someone explain why everyone is giving up on the playoffs this year?

I am assuming we lose next week, the Pats are too good and havn't lost at home in like 24 games or something.

But after that, Giants at home, Bears at home, both very very winnable games. We would finish 10-6.

Yes, it is possible to miss the playoffs at 10-6 but you'd stil have a pretty good chance - the only worry seems to be the Bucs? I'm confused, can someone explain.

---

because the typical fan over reacts negatively and positively equally?

---

I hate to say it but we are done this year. We are basically 1 1/2 games in back of the bears with 3 to play. Oh well 😞

---

We are still in the hunt until the numbers say we are eliminated.

Remember the 2003 season where it came down to the last regular season game and we needed to win and the Viking to lose? From Wikipedia:

"The Vikings began 2003 with a fast 6-0 start. However, the Vikings ended up going 3-7 the rest of the season, missing the playoffs when a touchdown reception on 4th-and-long by Arizona Cardinals receiver Nate Poole gave the Vikings a last-second 18-17 loss in their final game. Green Bay won the division at 10-6, while the Vikings were 9-7."


Winning against the patriots is a long shot but we have the talent if Aaron Rodgers starts.
