I grew up with European soccer where the regular season is all you get (i.e. the team with the most points wins it all, no knock out competition, no playoffs).

This rewards the best team every year but means the end of the season can be tedious and dead for the vast majority of teams (at least those not involved in relegation - that's something else).

I love the playoffs, it gives hope to half the league and when you throw in the salary cap and draft it really does become a lottery.

Any Given Sunday means if you can sneak into the playoffs then 3 hot/lucky games and your in the superbowl. Amazing.

So as a fan every season my expectations for the Pack are to reach the playoffs. Do that and you've bought a lottery ticket and from then who knows what can happen.

This season shows what can happen in the space of one game - The winless Bucs beat the Pack who then beat the NFC East leading Cowboys.

The perfect Saints are within a chip shot field goal defeat to the hapless Redkins and the Oakland Raiders defeat the world champion Steelers.

Who said parity was dead in the NFL?

It's like Matt Millen said last night...it's not who you play, it's when you play them, and sans Saints, I don't think many want to play us right now.

If we were 6-6 and just trying to hang on, i'd agree. But we are 8-4, which at this point NORMALLY would be good enough to lead the division. It's a weird year, and we are in a place where we could control our own destiny.
Would i rather win the division? Yes. But in oreder to have a CHANCE to win the Super Bowl, we have to get into the playoffs. ANY way possible.
As a wild card, we have to win 4 games instead of 3 to be world champions. We are coming together at the right time of the year.
I'm quite excited about the possibilities. Heck, last year we would be THRILLED if we knew that after 12 games this year we'd be in the playoff hunt.
Call me a pinhead......i don't mind!!!!

including me.

we're all pinheads.

hoping the right combination of other teams will implode so we're assured a wild card.

setting ourselves up for "why one-and-done is still a good year" and "wait til next year" and "goddarn it Ted will you do more in FA" and "drafting at spot 15-20."

sigh.

pinheads.

all of us.

Go Pack!

I said 8-8 or 9-7. No matter what happens from here on out, as good or better than my expectations. I'm happy. Very happy. Especially if we get one more shutout and sweep da Bears as we've already knocked off those ***** Cows.

Playoffs! :thumbright:

(You mentioned seeing the replay on the scoreboard. Do you have any communication during the week with the guys in charge of that, to talk about when you want to might want to challenge something? It seemed when you wanted to challenge the TD you had to wait a while. Isn't that part of the home-field advantage to get that quicker?)
I didn't think it was as late as you're stating. Maybe it was. First of all, it was a bad challenge. That was an emotional challenge. I should not have challenged that. I wish I had that one back. But I think the scoreboard people do a good job, and I thought they actually did a very good job last night with the number of replays. I had plenty of information. There was an angle I thought the ball moved, and I reacted to it, and I should not have did that. That was not a very good challenge, obviously.
