Green Bay Packers
Dec/080
Call me a dreamer, call me an idiot, call me an optimist, but I think the Packers have a pretty good shot to make the playoffs. Of course, a few weeks ago I laid out a plan for the Seahawks to make the playoffs and they now sit at 2-10, but hear me out here.
NFC North Standings (Head to head with Green Bay)
Minnesota 7-5 (1-1)
Chicago 6-6 (0-1)
Green Bay 5-7
Vikings upcoming schedule: @Detroit, @Arizona, Atlanta, New York Giants
Bears upcoming schedule: Jacksonville, New Orleans, Green Bay, @Houston
Packers upcoming schedule: Houston, @Jacksonville, @Chicago, Detroit
Now the Packers need to win out and have both teams above them lose, but the NFL just suspended half of the Vikings defensive line for the rest of the season and with Gus Frerotte at QB their in a bit of trouble. The Bears clearly have the best shot, but well, their the Bears and I don’t think neckbeard has it in him to go 3-1 or 4-0 to make the playoffs. If the Packers win out and tie the Vikings or the Bears at 9-7 they win the tiebreaker because they would be 5-1 in the division. The Packers have been the best team in this division all year long, but their overrated secondary has just given away some key games and they lost a couple of coinflips. It’s not a crazy thought.
I really just want this to happen because looking at “if the playoffs ended today” I don’t think I would be interested in a single team. Baltimore? Carolina? Yikes.
