Zero2Cool;201360Wrong!

The correct answer is the Lions will play all out so they don't have to play the Packers in Lambeau Field as the 6th seed if they were to beat the Saints.

What's wrong with you guys? Packers fans are the smartest football fans and I set you all up and you whiff?

Wrong, assuming the Saints (if they end up as #3, which is very likely) will
kick the shit out the Falcons, the Lions would play the Packers in the Divisionals anyway, even as the #5 seed.

Aaron Rodgers throws 5 td passes in the first half, becoming the 1st Packer qb to pull off such a feat.

Mike will let Aaron have 1 series in the 2nd half, giving him one chance to break the single season td record. Of course he will!!!

Packers then turn to backups and the run game to shorten the 2nd half, totally frustrating The Lions as they realize they are headiing to New Orleans for their 1st playoff game since 1999.

Packers 55 Lions 20
BOOK IT!!!!!!!

dhazer;201370So after saying all that Mike McCarthy will come out and play the starters all the way just to beat the Lions. We will keep undoing Suh's shoelaces and he will get suspended for the playoffs lol

They reviewed the game and there was no shoelace untying. Quit spreading lies, it is not nice.

THEY are firmly in the pockets of the shoelace lobby. The more times a shoe needs to be tied, the more wear is caused. The more wear during a season, the more shoelaces need to be replaced. The more shoelaces that are replaced, the more money for the shoelace industry. It is not in the shoelace industry's best interest to allow THEM to uncover incidents of shoelace untying.

toughest game left on the schedule. :-"

I want the Packers to win this game for a couple of reasons.

- To keep our home winning streak against the Lions going. They haven't won in Lambeau since 1991.
- A loss pretty much knocks them to the sixth seed and will run into the buzz saw that is the New Orleans Saints on the road. That will increase their chances of being knocked out and not seeing us again until the 2012 regular season. A tough divisional opponent who is familiar with the team could be a dangerous first opponent for the Packers. I'm rooting for the Cowboys to win the NFC East because they'd be an easier out than the Giants imo. Same with the Falcons in a 4/5 matchup assuming New Orleans wins their Wild Card game and then goes on the road to SF in the divisional round.

Obviously, Detroit has more to play for than the Packers, but it's not like Green Bay is going to be able to rest every body. A lot of starters will still have to play most of the game and I do think Flynn is capable of making some plays to beat Detroit in the second half.

It won't be a deal breaker if Detroit wins, but if we can avoid them in the divisional round, all the better imo.

If Flynn beats the Lions, the other 31 teams will see that.
Of those other 31 teams, at least 10 could use an upgrade at QB.
Heck, in our division alone, we got the Vikings and da Bears have shown they have no QB depth.

So I'd love to see Flynn beat the Lions.

You're losing me, zombie.
Isn't Flynn a FA next year?
He'll be free to sign with the highest bidder.
We don't have any leverage to get anything from another team for him (unless we franchised him--but paying a backup QB the average of the top 5 QBs in the league seems a little excessive).

Or, are you saying Flynn sucks and you want to see him damaging the Vikings/Bears from within next year?
[confused]

The better Flynn's new contract is, the higher will be the Packers compensatory pick in 2013. I don't want to have him in the NFC North, though.
