Fun for some!!

I don't use the word choke very often but the Packers should have won that game. Quite possibly ends the season for Green Bay to boot! (lose to the Ravens next week and it's as good as over)

The onside kick recovery for the Bears had an element of luck involved but not the QB fumble in overtime ... Packers blew it (big time)

However, to be fair, losing our best 2 players to ACL's (Micah & Kraft) put paid to any SB aspirations (IMV)

I agree to an extent but you were down to your third string TE, missing lineman, best edge rusher in the game and your QB got knocked out.

Hard to swallow, but I reckon you can beat the Ravens.

Fair enough

I used to detest using injuries as an excuse but injuries are a genuine reason for not winning, if it's the stars that are affected

Especially if it's the our best edge-rusher defender, our best TE and our best QB

It's a simple equation for Green Bay ... win our last 2 games and we're in the playoffs

From there, we'll need a lot of luck

As you said, we need to beat the Ravens (first)

I think NFL is one of the games where injuries matter if to certain players, which is why a certain team this year have been amazing due to all their injuries...

Huge win for Jacksonville this morning - the #1 seed in the AFC is open for business.

Thank you, Steelers!!

Parsons has been a revelation, from a neutral point of view you hate seeing these guys go down. They're such difference makers, how many times do you see the balance of power in a division or conference shift when a brilliant edge rusher changes teams? Outside of QB they're arguably the next most important players.

Had they both stayed healthy I would have had the Pack making a sneaky SB run for sure.

There is always a sweetspot in the NFL where you just can't overcome the injuries in certain positions. It's why regardless of our record I can't see us making an SB run when it gets to crunch time.

I think you can, simply because the best two sides in the NFC are div rivals and all shizen goes out the window in those games, And all it takes is for CMC to get hot.
But in saying that I think it will be a mighty effort to make it if you cant snag the #1 seed.

I actually think Kraft has and will be the bigger loss.
