Re: Playoff scenarios
Thomas Davis just got suspended the final 2 games...which does not help Carolina at all.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Re: Playoff scenarios
Now McCarthy said Rodgers took too many hits and is "sore." Signing Callahan might have been more than a guy if Rodgers is shut down due to being eliminated. Sounds like there's a chance he doesn't play due to injury.dead_poet wrote:Tossing this nugget here: Packers re-signed QB Joe Callahan. Might be a sign that if Atlanta wins they shut Rodgers down.

Re: Playoff scenarios
I think we win even with Erin, but they are too much like the Patriots. They are so lucky. And they would love to try and take the chance of a bye from us.dead_poet wrote: Now McCarthy said Rodgers took too many hits and is "sore."

Re: Playoff scenarios
We're just a short time from the Pukers being eliminated. Atlanta just went up 10 over Tampa in the 4th.
It will be great to own those losers in Lameblow.
UPDATE: Falcons win. Good bye, Green Bay.

Go ahead. I dare you.

Re: Playoff scenarios
I'm confident in this Vikings squad but I feel much better knowing there is a 100% chance the Packers will not be winning the super bowl in our stadium.

The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018

Re: Playoff scenarios
The first great success of playoff season. No Packers!
Now if the hated Seahawks could be kind enough to continue their swoon for one more game, they will also be out.
BRING. IT. ON!

That was literally the worst case scenario, nice to know it's now a 0% chance.

Re: Playoff scenarios
I really don't mind the Lions, but I don't really want to face them in the playoffs. I don't think that there is a team that we can't beat in playoffs if we play to our capabilities.

Re: Playoff scenarios
If the Vikings win and Carolina loses, will the Vikings clinch a first round bye?

Re: Playoff scenarios
Yes. We'd be no worse than 12-4 to their 11-5.PurpleMustReign wrote:If the Vikings win and Carolina loses, will the Vikings clinch a first round bye?

We own tiebreakers against both New Orleans and Los Angeles. One more win from us takes them out of the running for a first-round bye, no matter what they do.
But it's ours no matter what if we win out, and that's what we need to do. We don't want Carolina to sneak in at 12-4 and steal that bye.
Go ahead. I dare you.

Re: Playoff scenarios
I really hate that loss to the Panthers. Even if Minnesota wins, they still can't clinch a bye unless Carolina loses. Even though Minnesota's schedule lines up nicely, I wish this was already handled.
Re: Playoff scenarios
I think the Panthers will lose in Atlanta week 17. No matter what that will be an important game and I trust Matt Ryan in that game more than Cam Newton. So we'll end up the 2 seed with just one win vs GB or CHI.

Re: Playoff scenarios
It's hard to trust the Falcons. Hope you're right though. They can beat them simply on account of it being a divisional game, but Atlanta should have blown out TB last night, but that just didn't happen. They're not quite the same team as last season and Carolina has been a hot team at the right time. I actually hope they get the 3 seed and Minnesota the 2. If Carolina wins the Wild Card round then they'd play Philly...I prefer that.
