One thing we can take away from this season, if you are serious about winning meaningful games in the NFL Trevor Davis cannot be your return guy.



It’s a miracle he made it a full season.


You'd think that, then you remember who the Packer's head coach is...lol.

I remember being at Lambeau for a preseason game thinking there’s no way he’s making the final roster lol.

So, we're essentially in competition with Cincy, Washington, Arizona, Miami and Oakland? Correct? Does anyone have the tiebreakers laid out yet?

EDIT:

It appears the first tiebreaker is SOS. So, say every team around us wins, we would leapfrog Washington and Arizona in the pecking order (come on Skins, you know you have a 2nd half comeback vs those woeful Giants). We would then, in theory, leap frog Miami but would reside behind Cincy and Okland. That's my take. As it stands, we currently sit 15th due to overall record and holding a slim margin in SOS (presumably a divisional tiebreaker) over Washington. We would really benefit if both the Skins and Arizona pulled their games out. Anything beyond that, like leapfrogging Miami would simply be a gift.

I think all of of them will lose and stay ahead of us
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I hope hitching his wagon to Hundley costs McCarthy his job. It epitomizes how hard headed and stubborn he is.

No way to catch Cincy since we beat them.

I was surprised he was the return guy to start the regular season, he's been terrible all season...but there he is, still out there week 17 still **** up.

And you already know he'll be out there as the return guy week 1 next season. Typical Fat Mac stuff.

The Packers remind me of the movie office space when Peter stopped showing up for work and when he did show up, didn't do any work but got promoted. While the other guys who showed up and did their work got laid off.

Don't think head to head matters in terms of draft position.

You are right, it’s strength of schedule first.

Washington has a tougher SOS than us, everyone else is below us right now. So many things can happen still. Either way a loss and we are at worst between 13-15.

Yes, the Packers aren't used to the "72 degree temperature of the dome." Or in other words, "being indoors."

Guess we don't have indoor practice facilities with the capacity to generate heat. Shame.

The worst part of us being bad is by far idiot commentators.

I'm fine with MM riding Hundley this season. Coming into the year it was perceived that he was a good talent. By playing every game here we are getting a really good look at him on a lot of things to make an informed decision in the offseason.

Would rather collect this data than play some waiver wire journeyman to get an extra win.

According to NFL Tankathon (http://www.tankathon.com/nfl), we are currently seeded 15th - this is because Washington is currently 1-4 divisional and we are 2-3. To move up in any capacity we need one of Arizona and Washington to lose - hopefully both, obviously. Otherwise, as it stands we are most definitely picking 15th.

Hundley with a whopping 6 completions here late in the 3rd. Impressive. Quite impressive. He and MM are a match made in heaven.

If Washington loses, it doesn't matter because the Giants record will knock their SOS below us. Luckily they play the Giants so there's a good chance they win. Seattle doesn't have a good enough record to push Arizona's SOS above ours even if the Cardinals lose, so they need to win and with Seattle having something to play for, I doubt that happens.

If Washington, Arizona and Miami all win, we lose it looks like we could pick 12 if I am not mistaken

Jordy Nelson has gotten to that point where he could be inactive for a game and you wouldn't even notice that he was inactive until you read about it after the game.

And God....Hundley sucks.

I love these vintage MM playcalls: O-LIne is struggling in pass pro, young wr's on the perimeter...let's do some 5 step drops and implement some long developing routes. A master.

Return to Green Bay Packers
