Potential Postseason Advantage

The Chicago game combined with the litany of dumbass coaching moments and fug ups on offense we've seen this year have really tempered my expectations for the season.  Hoping for 12-4 but expecting 10-6, or hell, even worse.  We've got the potential to be good once we get out of our own way.  Until then, I just don't see it happening this season.

Would obviously love to be wrong tho

The Chicago game was two insanely fluky plays that changed everything.  That game is over.

This is true, but the team gave up after those fluky plays...that bothered me more than the loss.

I still can't get that coaching job out of my head.

God, I hope that stupid fluky loss to the Bears doesn't come back to bite us in the ass. That was one annoying loss.

It’s possible but doubtful.  We still control our #2 seed destiny and the Eagles game, not the Bears, will be what (likely) cost us the #1 seed.

I do.  Odds are we might drop one in New Orleans or Atlanta but even if we split those we’re 12-4.  New Orleans simply isn’t good enough to sweep us IMO, we’ll have Olsen, and we have a winning record all time down there.

The Falcons can beat us too of course but might have nothing to play for.

50/50 at worst odds for both games.

Unfortunately the Aints look to be legit, barring a huge breakdown they could easily sweep us. Pretty sure the Falcons didn’t have much to play for last year and ended our unbeaten streak... anything can happen

Better odds they lose 2 of their next 3 than win 2 of their next 3.  They’re not legit.  Same mediocre garbage they’ve been for over half a decade, that’s already blown their load this year.

We're going to be 12-4 or 13-3.

yep. i share this mindset. Vikings and Saints will provide challenges, but are both entirely winnable. Packers will just be getting Rodgers back and he'll either be rusty, or wont play. 28-3, nuff said. and the Dolphins, Jets, and Bucs are scrubs to pad our win total. the Jets and Dolphins could be sneaky teams that could shock us if we dont show up to play, but im hoping the players learned their lesson about that after Chicago.

Would not surprise me at all if we dont lose another game. Cam seems very VERY excited to get Greg back, and thus we should be too. i bet we see our offense take off down in New Orleans when Greg has had a week to get back in the active roster routine.

Don't think Rodgers will be back for that game, I think he's likely to miss the year. Even if he could be healthy enough to make it back when eligible, I doubt they win a game before then and will be eliminated from the playoffs. They'd look and see what happened to Romo against us in '15 and no chance they play him. Should be the easiest game on our schedule as they are as bad as any team in the league without Rodgers.

Y'all want to talk about playoffs? Playoffs????

11-5

I don't see us beating New Orleans and Atlanta in their house.  Our defense can hold its own but if our offense doesn't come alive this last 7 weeks we are in trouble.

10-6 would not surprise me because Minnesota has a nasty defense.  We are at home so we might sneak this one out.  Good defenses have given us fits.  Olsen should help change this offense.

 Hopefully, Rodgers doesn't come back for our game.
