Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 468918">Is this a must win? The 2004 Packers started 1-4, finished 10-6, and made the playoffs; about a half dozen 2-4 teams have made the playoffs since 2000.  However, the odds are not good to start with and the injuries are mounting. The NFC is +9 against the AFC so far, which makes the wildcard look like a minimum 10-6 with a tie breaker. With a loss against HOU, our most credible scenario for making the playoffs is to win the division at 10-6 by dominating division games. As far as this game is concerned, the key is to get some sustained drives going and keep the D off the field. IND ran 89 offensive plays with 35 min. TOP:  gassed = defensive collapse.  This is a tough assignment...HOU has a stout D, leads the league in TOP with a killer 35:28 per game average, and we don't have much of a running game going. This might not be a must win, but it was marked "pivotal game" on the schedule from the get go.  A win here would be a catalyst for a run into the weaker end of the schedule that includes  5 divisions games. A loss is just more wallowing.</blockquote>
