I would LOVE to agree with you, but the 2016 Packers have moved from "keep an eye on" to "the bin of history". While the offense is uncharacteristically slow to start this year they eventually get going and that slow start can likely be attributed to not having a capable running attack to keep the defense honest. But, even with that, they are scoring enough to win. Alas... the good ole familiar GB problems with our Defense and Special Teams has reared it's ugly fricken head again.

And while they might not make the playoffs, SD is no team anyone wants to face right now. Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top

They couldn't have a worse playoff route: NYG, Dal, then likely Atlanta....

The Giants game will be easy for them, ATL has been great but I just don't think they have it.

So basically it all comes down to GB vs. DAL.

AR is on fire and probably this year's MVP. Nuff said.

Don't sell the Giants short... Amazing defense. This will be close to the end... The forecast said 18 deg yesterday... Then I bought a pair of tix today.. Now they are saying single digits.... I'm an idiot...

i ran into an old guy working at fleet farm today. I was getting some hand warmers with my daughter and he asked if I was going to the game. I said I was. To which he responded: "good luck to your Packers". He said he was a Bears fan but he was kind of rooting for the Packers in the playoffs. He said he was from Illinois but moved up here years ago because his wife was from here. I asked him jokingly: "you've been up here all these decades why don't you just become a Packers fan"... the old buzzards response: "I'd rather get a sex change"

i don't think anyone could have predicted this. The divisional round of the playoffs will feature God's team traveling to the evil Empire:).
