Well done Green Bay,
This is true, but at the end of this game I didn't feel very good about it.Congrats to the Packers... they are in the playoffs again this year
I am not filled with confidence either. This team is just not a SB team. I hate to say it.This is true, but at the end of this game I didn't feel very good about it.
Which teams are guaranteed to beat us?I am not filled with confidence either. This team is just not a SB team. I hate to say it.
I should have qualified the remark.Which teams are guaranteed to beat us?
AFAIK as it stands now, the Packers will be at worst the #2 if they beat the kitties. The 3 remaining west vs west division games will determine the rest.I should have qualified the remark.
On the road is the problem. Don't know what seed we'll be if we beat Detroit but we really need HFA if we want to do any damage.
Seattle on the road scares the crap out of me.
Which teams are guaranteed to beat us?
and then.. when you come with that list.. How much would you wager?
If Rogers and the offense gets on a hot streak like 2010 we can beat anyone, anywhere. Especially with a defense that seems to have found itself.
Yes, I agree we've been up and down this season. Bad losses to Seattle, New Orleans, and Buffalo. A bad win first game against Chicago. But both the offensive and defensive lines are playing solid football, and, as Bruce Arians said last night, it's blocking and tackling that wins or loses games. So I like our chances, especially with the best QB in the game right now.J, I believe that completely so don't get me wrong here.
I just thought those numbers were worth considering to temper the hopes of the faithful.
When the Pack fire on all cylinders, they are world beaters.
They just haven't shown us they can do that on the road against top shelf competition. Yet.

Our winning % at home is 100% On the road it's: .500
Here are the 4 teams we beat on the road: Da' Bears, Vikes, Dolphins and Bucs with a combined winning % of .345.
(.333, .400, .533 and .133 respectively)
We've been beat on the road this year by: The Seahawks, Lions, Saints and Bills with a combined winning % of .599.
(.733, .733, .400, .533 respectively)
The Saints loss is inexplicable to me. It's the only outlier in this.
It's good competition we've lost to on the road except for the Saints. They are not a good football team and we couldn't beat them. Are they better or worse then their record? Does it really matter now?
The only road win against a winning team was Miami and we BARELY beat them.
So unfortunately the only logical conclusion to draw is that we usually cannot beat good teams on the road and occasionally get beat by bad ones.
My definition of good is over .500 win %.
So, Twiddle, if we have to travel to Seattle this post-season I might take you up on that offer.
Beat Detroit and get a home playoff game. We really can't worry about anything else right now but to say to were not a Super Bowl contender is a bit ridiculous IMO. I know Vegas doesn't see it that as were a 6-1 to win the Super Bowl.
They need to spank Detroit, not just squeak one out. Send the Kitty Kat's back a notch.
Then sit back and wait to see who comes knocking.
Let Sitton's toe rest along with Lacy's hip and Lang's ankle and probably a dozen other little nagging bumps and bruises accumulated over the course of the season.
Seahawks wanna puff there chests and say there the best defense of all time then let em.
The 1976 Steelers Defense might have a thing or two to say in response to that nonsense.
Let's not forget the Monsters of the Midway either. Credit is due where it is due!
Is there any scenario under which Seattle has to come to Green Bay?
Longshot.Yes we win and Seattle loses to Rams this Sunday and we would retain 1 seed.
Yes, they've got holes on both sides of the ball. But that's today's NFL, where it's virtually impossible to assemble a great team, and keep it together in hopes of establishing a new dynasty. Now, you have to be content with winning divisional championships repeatedly, and occasionally a real Championship. TT and MM have certainly been successful in that respect. But it's also the reason for the one and done playoff appearances.The Green Bay Packers are indeed a curious beast.
Longshot.
Lindley's throws weren't in the same zip code as the receivers. He's got an arm like a rifle, but with no sights.Lindly just couldn't get it there.
