To clinch division...

Worst Packers can do is 10-6.

Lions lose, go to 6-6. Best they can do is 10-6, we need to take divison tiebreaker from them still if they beat us.

Bears lose, best they can do is 9-7.

Vikings win, go to 6-6. Best they can do is 10-6, we take tiebreaker.

EDIT: NEVERMIND, FORGOT WE ONLY PLAYED DETROIT ONCE.

Figuring the Packers clinch the first round bye, what team would you least like to meet in the NFC divisional game?

I was actually wrong, we didn't totally clinch over Lions. If they beat us last game of the year and we're tied at 10-6, it will have to go to divisional record first, then common games.

Should clinch the division next week with a win over Oakland and Lions loss to Dallas though.

Magic number is one. Either a Lions loss or a Packer win and the division is Green Bay's.

What I most want is that first round bye. Once that happens it's time to sit some starters.

Winning the division was a forgone conclusion for me a few weeks ago, it was pretty obvious nobody in the division was good enough to eventually catch the Packers.

This is useless thread. Pack had division locked for all reality 2 weeks ago.

GB wins next week AND Detroit looses.

If Green Bay wins next week, the worst they could end up would be 11-5.

Even if the Lions win, the best they could end up would be 10-6.

Like I said, magic number is one.

So you see, the thread obviously isn't completely useless. You learned something.

Yea getting that first rd bye is huge.

There is a much bigger diffrence between the #2 seed & #3 seed than the #1 seed & #2 seed in the NFL obviously.

with a #2 seed of course all you have to do is win one 1 at home and 1 on the road and your in the super bowl,thats definalty do-able for the Packers.

If the Packers got bumped down to the #3 seed and had to play a wild card game then had to play/win 2 on the road to advance to the super bowl i'd say the Packers chances of winning the NFC would be very silm.

Thats why those 2 times we went 12-4 under Mike Sherman the Packers realy didn't have a real shot to win the NFC.

Im sure you remember in 2002 when we went 12-4 we got the #3 seed because of the Eagles and Rams both going 12-4 and winning the tie breakers,then in 2001 when we went 12-4 and we acutually got bumped down to the #4 seed because the Bears had that fluke 13-3 season and won the central division.

That sucked because 90% of time 12-4 is good enough for at least the #2 seed.The Packers just had bad timing to go 12-4 in 2001 & 2002 I guess.

When we went 12-4 in 2001 we should have done it a year earlier,in 2000 the Giants got the #1 seed and homefield with an 11-5 record.

I just remember the year they could've gotten a bye, but got a** f*cked by the Jets the last game of the season...and then let the Falcons come in and beat us in the first Packer playoff loss ever in Lambeau. Tough times.

I just want to get that bye. I don't like the fact Seattle and Tampa Bay are playing good ball right now. On paper the Packers have a favorable schedule, but they need to take care of business. I have a feeling they could be sluggish against Oakland. Oakland is coming off a win too. At St. Louis has never been too kind to the Pack, and they're playing a little better lately as well. At Bears is always a dangerous game. Obviously they beat us already. I think we'll take the Lions the last game of the year.

Just try to take 3 of 4 and we'll get it.
