Another win for the Pack, at least on paper.
I believe they will win on the field as well.
GO PACK GO!!!!

Big three games coming up, Packers need to win one of the next two plus vs the Vikings to comfortably make it into the playoffs. It'll be a tough battle but the Packers will come through in the end. 24-20 Packers.

Not really. We could lose out and make it (probability of playoffs going 0-3 is above 98%!!!).

We already are in the playoffs this and the next game are for the #2 seed. If this plan fails then our last game is to decide between #3 and #6.

That's what I get for glancing at the standings. Busy week :)

Building on this, I believe the only two scenarios that could cause us to miss the playoffs require both Green Bay to go 0-3 down the stretch AND one of the following two things to happen:

1) Both New York Giants and Washington Redskins win out.
In this scenario, Washington wins the division at 9-7 on better division record than NY and the Giants beat Green Bay on a better record against common opponents (in this scenario New York has to beat both Minnesota and Carolina in their final 3 games) for the wild card.

Philly can also finish 9-7 but has games against both New York and Washington.
If Philly wins out, none of the other NFC East teams can finish 9-7.

OR

2) Tampa Bay wins out.
Tampa would beat Green Bay on a better conference record.
This seems more likely than scenario 1 above.
That said, Tampa would have to win two road games including the season finale at Carolina.

Atlanta can also finish 9-7 but would have a worse conference record.

One win clinches a playoff berth.
If that win is against Minnesota, we clinch the division.
Win out and have Arizona drop another game and we get the two seed.

I am hoping for more plays by our young players. Janis really seems to have found his niche as a kickoff returner and gunner. That dude can sure run the hell out of a straight line.

I'll also be interested to see Jake Ryan, Rollins and Randall maybe get in on a turnover or two. I think we'll force Carr into some bad decisions.

Gonna be another Eddie/James show on the west coast!

Last week is what every HC In the NFC was hoping would not happen.

After being put in timeout by Mike, Eddie learned his lesson and is now a man on a mission.
I read where Nick Sabon called Mike and told him to do just what he did, seems Nick knows his ex players well.
Was never a Sabon or 'Bama fan, but have to give Ole Nick a big "Hell Ya " on making the call.

Everybody has been wondering what was wrong with the passing game, just watch and see what happens the next couple of weeks.

Packers win this one to set up yet another big showdown game against The Cards.

Eddie and James combine for another 200+ yd game.

The Defense will force 3 turnovers!

Jeff Janis takes one to the house causing Texas to fly to Green Bay and demand a one on meeting with Mike to find out just why he isn't playing more on offense! [biggrin]

Aaron throws for 250 and 2tds.

Packers 33
Raiders 19

I see this as a Packer win. IF they play at least as well as last week.
Oakland put up less then 150 yards of total offense, but lucked out and won last week.
They won't be as lucky this week.

There shall be zero bad decisions from Carr this week.
The young man learned his lesson week 13.
Three picks cost the Silver and Black the game against KC.
BUT.. In the same game, he completed 31 of 48 passes with two T.D.'s

The greatest thing about his 3 picks was Carr's humble accountability after the game.


Trust me on this...
Final score will be.
35 -21
