You all realize we'll be playing Aaron Rodgers in a few weeks right?

People keep expecting the Packers to shut Rodgers down and I just don't see it unless they lose to the Browns in 2 weeks. They have 6 losses right now, a loss next week would give them 7. I can promise you they won't be eliminated mathematically by the time we play them. Rodgers is supposedly feeling pretty good already with an additional 3 weeks before our game. Everyone that's penciling in an automatic W for that game is crazy.

Who cares

We can still beat them with Rodgers

besides we play the saints this week guy 

The tone of this board's playoff prediction threads has everyone penciling in a W for that game, when it's probably going to be the hardest or second hardest game left on the schedule. He was in god mode earlier this season before the injury.

they looked pretty good without Rodgers last night.   I mean it ain't a gimmie no matter who plays QB.  Young kid getting better.    

I just think it comes down to how the race looks.  I think they need a decent shot for them to risk Rodgers.   A technically not eliminated scenario alone won't be worth it IMO. 

Plus, we went to NE and beat Brady this year.  We can beat Rodgers.  We can beat Brees this week too.

9 wins won't be enough for the NFC wildcard. I think they're shutting it down for the season.

I don't disagree that 9 won't be enough, but what incentive would McCarthy have by giving up when they're still in the hunt? That's just now what NFL coaches do. Look at all the crazy bullshit Ron Rivera has done in past seasons under the pretense of us still being mathematically alive.

If they are out of the playoff picture, then you really think they'd risk it?  Especially with a backup playing better and better?

 

I don't

If Rodgers is completely healthy like it sounds like he'll be, why in the world would they play Hundley? NFL teams play their starting quarterbacks whenever possible.

He's eligible to return against us but it's yet to be seen whether he'll actually be healthy enough to play then. Seems like he's progressing but no one really has any clue as to whether he'll be ready by our game. That, along with their record AND recent history with Romo against us makes me think they'll lean against playing Rodgers against us.

 

Either way, we'll handle them whether it's Rodgers, Hundley or Jesus Christ himself at QB. That team is horrible.

I am not overly afraid of Green Bay.  Their defense isn't top tier and ours is.   The question is does Green Bay want to put their franchise QB onto the field against one of the top defenses in the league.  It would suck if we slam him to the deck and reinjure that shoulder.

IF they lose this weekend Atlanta needs to win 3 of their next 5 and Carolina/ New Orleans only need 2 of their next 5 to shut out Green Bay

    • 100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.  
    • It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
    • In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
