With the Giants losing to the Broncos, the next best team that is trying to get our wild card spot has 5 losses. We only have 4. That means that if we win the rest of our games, we are assured a position in the playoffs.

It certainly won't be easy, but I have faith.

The sleeper team to watch is Atlanta...5-5 with the next 3 games at home, with 4 of theri last 6 at home.

As you said Packers win out and they will be in, just looking at Eagle,Giants and Falcons remaining schedule, IMHO Packers can afford 1 more loss and still make it to the play-offs, 2 more and it could be an iffy situation.

That's why this Baltimore game is so huge. If we lose, I don't see us making the playoffs unless we somehow beat Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. Also, we have the Cardinals in Arizona.

We certainly don't have it easy.....

^ The Falcons have a terrible Defense though. And some injuries to their tailbacks....

Giants' loss last night is huge. Really gives us some breathing room. Still, the Packers are now in a position where if they take care of their business, then it doesn't matter what others do because they'll get in no problem.

How does this sound?

Wildcard round:

#6 Philadelphia defeats #3 Dallas
#5 Green Bay defeats #4 Arizona

Divisional round:

#6 Philadelphia defeats #1 New Orleans
#5 Green Bay defeats #2 Minnesota

Conference Championship AT LAMBEAU.
#5 Green Bay defeats #6 Philadelphia.

yes, that is fact GB controls their fate. Even during the current winning streak the packers are still making dumb mistakes and silly penalties. I just do not see why Mike McCarthy does not get after his players when they are making stupid mistakes on the field.

I am hoping 10-6 will make the playoffs b/c I think GB will lose to Pitt & AZ

So if you meet me Have some courtesy, Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse, Or I'll lay your soul to waste

dhpackr, McCarthy DOES get on his players for penalties. He said in a press conference earlier in the year that he has been pulling players that make dump mistakes like these penalties.

He probably meant mainly on special teams, because I doubt he would just pull one of our best players on offense/defense.

I think 10-6 definitely gets us in. Eagles and Giants and Falcons beat up on eachother and ATL has to play N.O. As long as PHI and GB get 9 wins, maybe 10, they're in i think.

This Baltimore game is very big. Hopefully we finally play good on national TV against a good team.

Zero2Cool (8m) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (2h) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (7h) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (7h) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (23h) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Thanks Mucky and whomever created topcos for each pick!

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Insane about Kingsley

dfosterf (28-Apr) : Putring it here so Mucky sees it. He was our guy!

dfosterf (28-Apr) : Bowden long snapper Wisconsin. Consensus best LS in college.

dfosterf (28-Apr) : We got Peter Bowde

dfosterf (28-Apr) : I personally interpret that as a partial tear that can be recovered from with rehab

dfosterf (28-Apr) : MLF said Kingsley Enagbare did NOT tear his ACL and did NOT require surgery, and that he is "looking good" for the 2024 season!
