    Yeah Lil, that's pretty much the only way to react to his asinine responses.

    Oh nothing much Lil, I just had a wacky feeling the Packers are very much alive for a playoff spot being only ½ game behind the Vikings for the division lead (with already a win head to head vs Vikings), having the 4th best record in the conference with a game and a half lead for the 2nd WC spot.
    But of course (post 15) we do have to wait for the sky to fall, and commenting the Packers "say goodbye playoffs" (post 13) is far from asinine. :smiley-dizzy: Makes all the sense in the world!

    ...you know, the usual stuff.

    Just having some fun.

    Yeah because nothing spells success like losing 4 of your last 5 games. But hell, they're 7-4 & only a 1/2 game out of first. Currently.

    And while we're at lets also ignore that while the Packers are playing like shit that with 5-6 games to play Atlanta is only a 1/2 game behind the Packers & Tampa bay & Seattle are only 1 1/2 games behind. But hey. not to worry because the Packers are 7-4.

    Fair enough - but while "the Packers are playing like shit".....they are also still leading for a WC spot and are ½ game out of first place and have already beaten the division leader once.
    And let's not ignore or forget the Vikings have games left with the Falcons, Seattle, Cards, Giants and GB.
    The Bucs have to play the Falcons and Carolina
    The Falcons have two games with Carolina, one with the Buc and Vikings.
    Seattle has to play the Vikings and at the Cards.

    So, looks like there are two choices- which one makes more sense and which one looks to be less sensible as we approach week 12?

    1) Packers say "goodbye playoffs"
    2) Packers alive for the playoffs.

    Whatever.

    ^^^^Yeah because according to some its all about the won & lost record. But, its hard to see the big & full picture when you're wearing blinders.
