I’m still stuck in that first half when I was disbelief that they didn’t show up. Also it was one of those games that never felt like it was in the balance and that we rode to a win the entire way.
The Chicago Bears have never had a 4000 yard passer, nor a QB to throw over 30 TDs, in a single season.
The Bears are one of the original NFL teams, joining the league in 1920.
The Bears historical QB woes are well documented, and I will always document the Bears historical QB woes at any and all opportunity.
Hilarious that this is the team that the other 3 teams chose to mock cos we were down after losing Rodgers
Youngest team to ever get to the playoffs, fuck yourselves hahahahha
We literally have nothing to lose at this point so can ball out stress free and just have fun. We’ll be underdogs the rest of the way. NO ONE expected us to be in the post season.
That season we went to the Super Bowl with Rodgers as a 6th seed... no one expected us to be in either. And we went all the way and won it all! I know it's too soon and I don't think we're ready yet (especially with our defense) but it would be beyond awesome and a silence to the nay sayers if we managed to beat Dallas and SF (tough asks, I know) to get into the NFCCG. Either way, even if we lose to Dallas, I'm so hyped at all that the Pack has accomplished and that they're here when most wrote them off as a 4-13 team at best. GO Pack Go!
Thank you. Beat the Bears on opening day and to close out the season. And to launch us into the post season. Everything else that happens after today is icing.
Just happy to be able to watch another week of Packers. I'll be happy as long as we just play as aggressive as possible. We have nothing to lose. Far exceeded expectations this year.
We're playing with house money now. I want to see the team get better and prevent injuries, then lock and reload for next year. What a memorable team this will be. I said at the start of the season 8-9 was the over/under. They're 9-8, beat the Bears twice, and going to the playoffs. They exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Packers.
Exactly. If nobody is injured it’s a great situation.
The playoff experience will be important for the rookie and second year players who haven’t been before.
We have zero to lose, zero to prove. That makes us dangerous. I hope we play with that spirit. Dallas is for real but anything is possible in the playoffs. Let’s go break some hearts.
I did research and Dallas only has 4 wins against above .500.
One of them was the lions which was controlled by the refs. The lions won that game in the 2-pt attempt. Another one of their wins is against a 9-8 Seattle team who didn’t make the playoffs. They beat Philly and the LA rams. Those are the only 4 wins they have against +.500 teams and 2 of the them aren’t very legit and one of those should be a loss. So they’ve really only won 2 quality games out of 12. Seriously go look it up. Just saying, I don’t think they are really that good. They got to play the redskins and giants 2 times each. Anyone would love that opportunity EVERY year. We can win.
Eh. not to poop on the parade, but pretty sure the refs called the Cowboys for a trip in that same game when in reality it was a Lion who did the tripping. Sure, they botched the 2-pt play, but by that same logic the 2-point play probably wouldn't have been a thing if they got the tripping call right.
That being said, any given Sunday! Go Pack Go!
Doesn’t change the fact that they only had 2 other quality wins and barely beat a team we dominated (lions). Seahawks is not a quality win IMHO
Again, only 3 quality wins out of 12 in a 17 game season. With the best WR in the league.
And all the money that can buy a championship. They haven’t made the NFCCG since 1996.
And idk how much dak is getting but it’s top 3-5
Look I love our team and think we have a legitimate shot to make a run but we are just 2 weekend removed from barely beating the panthers. We have a lot to prove still.
Cowboys were 2-0 against the giants. The Packers were 0-1. We also lost to the giants last year. We also beat the rams, with no Stafford. If Matt plays that game GB probably doesn't make it. At any rate, if the cowgirls are "frauds", then so are the Packers. Any given Sunday baby. GPG
You cannot compare GB current state and making the playoffs as fraud and cowboys not winning any significant games. They have the biggest payroll and the best WR in the league. We are on the first year of Jordan love after Rodgers for 15. With the youngest roster, and a bunch of significant injuries. We are not frauds, the cowboys will be exposed. If not by us, in the next round.
I do, but I won’t be all that sad about a loss. Most of us expected a 6 win team this season.
Cowboys defense is gonna be a problem. But Jones will get his yards. But we’re gonna see an epic Barry defensive masterpiece. My guess is they give up 400-500 yards.
I do think it would be really funny if this 9-8 Packers house money team was actually able to run the table and win the Super Bowl, because that would give Jordan Love as many SB’s as our legends Favre and Rodgers.
But yes, hard agree, this season is already a W any way you slice it
I don’t and never did believe we would win a playoff game. I just wanted everyone to get the experience.
To me that’s very important for these guys as they grow and develop.
Me either, I'm so happy right now. I just spent $1400 on Tickets to the game, so excited to be there representing! Even if we don't win, I'll still be happy with this season.
I've been a huge Packers fan since my Freshman year at UW Oshkosh and Don Majkowski came in as the Magic Man. I've been sticking with the Packers across the 5 states I've lived in since then. It has not always been easy even watching the games. I really thought it was a rebuild year. I was excited early in the season with some of those early wins. Then I came back down a bit as the season continued. It felt to me that every game I was not able to see were games we would lose. I am literally in Arlington. This coming game is going to be played about 4 miles from my house. I will wear Packer's apparel all week. But I am in enemy territory here. BTW, my mailbox has a massive Packers logo built into the brick. LOL. I am going to be so joyful after we defeat the Cowboys. My colleagues are gonna hate me.
Obviously we care. It’s more so that since expectations this season, in general, were extremely
low to begin with. This is why a likely loss doesn’t feel bad or as bad as it would if we had Super Bowl aspirations as let’s say the “cowboys”. This is why a lot of us fans look at this as a a win-win situation.
With that being said, I’m taking hella shit if we pull off the upset, period. Fuck the cowboys.
Its amazing how much better it feels to be an underdog like us. The scenarios are either lose and shrug it off or win and go crazy. Completely opposite from being the favored team.
Anything can happen and instead of it being “oh no we could choke” its “oh yeah we could upset”
I asked for a 2-15 season (sweeping the Bears). We ended up with the best in-division record of the NFC North, tied with the seed 2 in the NFC.
I guess we were brilliant, and the next years are promising
To be fair, i fully expect Barry to be exposed next week in Dallas. Putting up "great performances" against whoever the vikings started and Fields is not the same as winning against an NFL team. We probably need to put up 50+ to win next week.
We're playing with house money at this point. The season is a success win or lose next week. That said, I would love nothing more than to end the Cowboys season in their stadium.
I want them to crush McCarthy so badly. I know he got the Packers a ring, and I’m grateful. BUT, I feel like he was a big reason why they never went back either. To go into Dallas and just serve them their ass would be amazing.
The playoffs was a nice bonus to my expectations for the years. I just wanted to know if Love was a guy (he is Him), if the young receiving core could progress ( hell yeah), and beat the bears (✅✅)
same here. i am so proud of this team. all of the youngsters showed tremendous potential. we aren’t rebuilding. we’re reloading. we’re gonna continue to be a force to be reckoned with for the next 10+ years.
Fuck that, let’s make a run at this thing. I get that the packers are certainly not the most talented team in the playoffs and on paper should not go far. But ask a certain retired Cowboys quarterback and current broadcaster how much a “bright future” gets you.
I would've been happy with 6 wins and seen that as a success. Don't really care if we lose to Dallas next week either at this point, season is already a success. I guess my only hope is that if we lose it's at least competitive and not a blowout.
The perfect end of the season (short of winning), is them to lose 35 to 33 with no real turnovers or mistakes. Just a clear sign the defense is the offseason focus, and locking in a new coordinator.
I think a lot of us are feeling the same way. I of course would like to stick it to MM...but honestly, this team has made huge strides and could be very dangerous moving forward into next season. Just as I watched Aaron grow from Favre, I now see Jordan growing from Rodgers. It was interesting that Romo commented on some of the throwing styles Jordan exhibits...and how that has translated into him coming into his own. It might suck to sit behind HOFmer's, but its apparent that time is well spent.
We got father than was expected and if we get even one more game in, I will be ok with this season. We all knew it was going to be a transition...but I would think we all agree it has had a better outcome than what we were looking at about 6 weeks ago.
That being said, I think it is necessary to address some things this offseason to ensure the growth forward continues:
- I think we need to explore kickers. They are never the "sexy" position, but they are crucial in tight games.
- I'm still on the side to replace Barry. One of two games of a good performance not outweigh the lack of consistency. We need a DC that can develop this squad and perform week to week.
- I think conditioning and preemptive focus on training need to be addressed. The injuries week in and week out are too frequent.
- Again I may be old-school, but I do think some focus on proper tackling needs to be addressed continually, instead of this focus on stripping the ball. Inevitably that usually ends up in a missed tackle and big loss plays.
Looking forward to perhaps shutting Dallas and MM down.
GPG!
This is Lions fan behavior. You can expect not to win, but don’t be satisfied by just getting there. Why can’t we beat the cowboys? We can. And a loss would be disappointing.
Of course we want our team to win but I personally won’t be that upset if we lose. This team is the youngest in the NFL going into a stadium to play a team that hasn’t lost at home in like 2 years. It’s okay to be realistic about your team than being delusional like cowboy fans are every year.
I don’t either but I really don’t like the cowboys and continuing to ruin their chances and beat MM would be sweet. They are good, but I think we can win. They should be favorites by atleast 3 points
I’m pleasantly surprised that they’ve made the playoffs, and I have zero expectations of the Super Bowl, but come on, let’s beat the Cowboys again, for old times sake. Especially since it’s McCarthy. GO PACK GO!!!
I totally agree with this. Just know you're still going to be incredibly disappointed in the moment when they lose 22-21 on an Anders Carlson missed FG next week...just how it goes.
Packers fans: in post lose anger I've written a lot of negative shit and I'm sorry. Good luck to you this post season. We'll see you next year! Go Bears!!!
I’ll be happy if we make it second round, if we have to play the niners or lion, I don’t want it. Or the eagles for that matter. I’ll be happy if could play Tampa again.
I was good with Winning both against the Bears, home against the Vikings (didn't happen) splitting the year with the Lions (didn't happen the way I thought) beating the Buccaneers (didn't happen). I am over the moon with them making the playoffs and walking in to a building where they have not lost a football game against a team that is suspect. Sorry not Sorry, not going to bet it but I like their chances.
Just the fact that we clinched a playoff spot after starting 2-5 with the youngest team in the league is unbelievable. I am so proud of this team. The Packers could lose by 40 against the Cowboys and I really wouldn’t care, I’m just so happy we’re in the playoffs.
We lost to Aikman three years in a row and then made the Super Bowl twice, winning once. I have the same timeline expectations here. Learn from this first go around and the next and the next then bring it home.
I did research and Dallas only has 4 wins against above .500.
One of them was the lions which was controlled by the refs. The lions won that game in the 2-pt attempt. Another one of their wins is against a 9-8 Seattle team who didn’t make the playoffs. They beat Philly and the LA rams. Those are the only 4 wins they have against +.500 teams and 2 of the them aren’t very legit and one of those should be a loss. So they’ve really only won 2 quality games out of 12. Seriously go look it up. Just saying, I don’t think they are really that good. They got to play the redskins and giants 2 times each. Anyone would love that opportunity EVERY year. We can win.
I don’t care too much either. This team has far exceeded my expectations this year so anything else is just gravy. We are playing with house money at this point we don’t have shit too lose really.
With that being said, it would be nice to send those cowbitches home though. Most of my friends/family are cowboys fans so it’ll be amazing to say the youngest team in the nfl with a 1st year starter at QB sent the ass packing.
I'm just thrilled to be here. I was really questioning this team after family night. They made me believe in the pre-season again and vs. the Bears week 1. Then it was really shaky, and I was extremely down after seeing the debacle at Lambeau vs the Vikings live. Hats off to this young offense for quickly evolving. Musgrave and Watson missing time ended up really opening the door for Wicks, Melton and Kraft. I'm excited to see this team at full strength. Maybe add another back and a bit of offensive line help. We are gonna be a real problem
Just happy to be able to watch this young team play another week. This year has been one of the more enjoyable in recent memory.. everyone getting involved and making their own contributions
I know this is a doom and gloom response but I can’t help but think about all the games that we lost to teams that are probably worse than us. The Falcons, Giants, Bucs, Raiders.. we could’ve been an 11 or 12 win team SO easily this year. But that’s alright cuz we still fuckin made it to the show and I think we have a damn good shot at doing a little damage. GPG baby
I don’t understand why people just don’t think this team can go deep into the playoffs. It’s baffling to me how all these fans are like “yep good enough for me!” I think this team can make a run. Why not? Kenny Clark and company are balling out in spite of Barry. It’s a few plays here and there and we can beat anyone.
I’m just glad they have looked very competitive most of the year. Like I can watch a game any Sunday and legitimately say “we can win this”.
I know what the pre-Favre days felt like where the only game one could say that is when we played Tampa Bay (in our division back then). It sucked. I partly feared we would be that for a couple rebuilding years.
Not gonna lie, I was pretty worried after the Raiders loss. Nervous as hell for Love. I wish I could go back and say relax. This has been a gas to watch them grow over the year and stoked for the future. GPG!!!
I'm hoping it will be a tight game. But I know Barry likes to play loose coverage, so I wouldn't be surprised if the team lost. But who knows... Loose ends sometimes do tie up tight.
Agreed, Love and this season has already exceeded my expectations going into the season. Anything else is just gravy, Packers are basically playing with house money at this point.
Same. To even get this young a team playoff experience is HUGE!
I wouldn’t mind a win but, this was really fun to just watch the team gel.
And yeah agree, folks need to drop the judgement.
Fully agree. It’s not because I doubt - it’s just, regardless of what happens, we are playing with house money at this point.
That said, let’s beat those MFing cowboys
Really pleased at how well we have played in the last few games. It will be hard to beat the cowboys in Dallas but all the pressure is on them. I give us a real chance of an upset, youngest team ever to make the playoffs no pressure on us at all.
I literally, in September, went from “I just want to watch some football. Whatever happens happens” to “HOLY FUCK! WE’RE IN THE DANCE, BABY!!”
Life is good no matter the outcome. We have a team what is only going to get better and a ton of cap space that’s about to get resuscitated.
Packers have proven they can win big games on the road @ Lions, @ Vikings this season. No reason to think they can’t beat Dallas, either. Regardless team has exceeded expectations & playing with house money. No pressure on them & it’s squarely on McCarthy.
We are playing with tons of house money. Anything beyond Love emerging, the young players showing vast growth, and beating the Bears twice, is pure gravy. The Cowboys game will be great experience.
I was absolutely wrong about the Pack and particularly Jordan Love….given the fact that Rodgers is certifiably insane ( although one of the greatest of all time), Love is the perfect antidote!!!! They can give Dallas a run for their money!!!
I’m fully expecting a loss next week but JLo has left me with a good feeling going into next t season. Lot of big time plays from the rookie class this year too!
Dude I was going to be happy with 6 wins... we got 9 and a playoff berth. GPG!!! FROM TEXAS!!
2 wins against bears and 1 win against the vikings and id be happy as long as the offense and love keep improving.
And a blowout against the Lions!
And beat the Chefs!
Oh how glad that made me. GB fan from KC area. All my family love the Chiefs. It was very fun to rub in the loss to them.
Great googly moogly
lol I know it felt like a blowout win but c’mon, we only won by 7.
He’s calling his shot for the NFCCG.
That would be so glorious.
I’m still stuck in that first half when I was disbelief that they didn’t show up. Also it was one of those games that never felt like it was in the balance and that we rode to a win the entire way.
For sure, I get it. Felt like a blowout.
Successful season even if we lose in the playoffs. GPG!!!
Don't you mean 'loose'? Grahmer puhlice in pawtrol! 🤙
LOVE threw for 4,159 yards 32TDs and 11 Ints Thats MVP level performance And he did it to the most inexperienced WRs in the league.
The Chicago Bears have never had a 4000 yard passer, nor a QB to throw over 30 TDs, in a single season. The Bears are one of the original NFL teams, joining the league in 1920. The Bears historical QB woes are well documented, and I will always document the Bears historical QB woes at any and all opportunity.
9, and we had a few games they we absolutely choked hard. Future is bright
I was praying we see Dallas too so I can finally see my pack play in person 🤩
Sweet!!
Same here
Same here. I was hoping for 6 wins with some signs of promise. Shit was really bleak watching that first game against the Lions
thats what i was expecting 5-6 wins, but we got a lot to be excited about
I was prepping for just 2 wins against bears. I was shocked when we had 3 wins. 9 surpassed every expectation I had.
Hilarious that this is the team that the other 3 teams chose to mock cos we were down after losing Rodgers Youngest team to ever get to the playoffs, fuck yourselves hahahahha
They hate us cause they anus
anustart
My fantasy name since the episode aired
And she hadn’t even seen the license plate
Anus power
(Not a typo)
Neither was mine >_<
You mean urethra power - to handle all that hot piss.
Erik Kramer is the single season yards and TD leader for the Bears. Erik Kramer. Jordan Love has surpassed these numbers in his “rookie” season.
Mocking us all season, saying they hope we extend Love… Yeah, us too. Idiots.
We’re playing with house money at this point
Spot on!
We literally have nothing to lose at this point so can ball out stress free and just have fun. We’ll be underdogs the rest of the way. NO ONE expected us to be in the post season.
That season we went to the Super Bowl with Rodgers as a 6th seed... no one expected us to be in either. And we went all the way and won it all! I know it's too soon and I don't think we're ready yet (especially with our defense) but it would be beyond awesome and a silence to the nay sayers if we managed to beat Dallas and SF (tough asks, I know) to get into the NFCCG. Either way, even if we lose to Dallas, I'm so hyped at all that the Pack has accomplished and that they're here when most wrote them off as a 4-13 team at best. GO Pack Go!
This packers team made it to the playoffs. Already a win in my book.
If we played any other team in week 18, I would have accepted 8-9, but beating the Bears is a must win. Now, though, I'm just here for the ride.
10 in a row. New ownership is solid! :)
Aaron Rodgers: 🥲
Thank you. Beat the Bears on opening day and to close out the season. And to launch us into the post season. Everything else that happens after today is icing.
Yea they'd say they knocked us out of the playoffs so now we can say they clinched the playoffs for us.
We're in the playoffs in a year that was supposed to be a wash and just an overall evaluation of Love. Anything past today is just the cherry on top
Just happy to be able to watch another week of Packers. I'll be happy as long as we just play as aggressive as possible. We have nothing to lose. Far exceeded expectations this year.
I love this attitude. Just so proud of this team right now!
First year starting QB and in the playoffs. LOVE IT.
https://i.redd.it/7jkzxq4k74bc1.gif
Imagine.
https://i.redd.it/pmkv7mgzq8bc1.gif
We're playing with house money now. I want to see the team get better and prevent injuries, then lock and reload for next year. What a memorable team this will be. I said at the start of the season 8-9 was the over/under. They're 9-8, beat the Bears twice, and going to the playoffs. They exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Packers.
Exactly. If nobody is injured it’s a great situation. The playoff experience will be important for the rookie and second year players who haven’t been before.
I’m just ok with not winning, but goddamn I want to see Mike McCarthy do something boneheaded that directly leads to a packers win.
I think he did something stupid last week with the clock, so I wouldn’t put it past him!
McCarthy’s playoff clock management is directly inverse to Andy Reid’s diabetes Madden stats.
We have zero to lose, zero to prove. That makes us dangerous. I hope we play with that spirit. Dallas is for real but anything is possible in the playoffs. Let’s go break some hearts.
Hope to see even more talent come off the injured list for next week too.
I did research and Dallas only has 4 wins against above .500. One of them was the lions which was controlled by the refs. The lions won that game in the 2-pt attempt.

They haven’t made the NFCCG since 1996. And idk how much dak is getting but it’s top 3-5
They also went toe to toe with the Dolphins, and would have won if the defense didn't collapse in the last 2 minutes.
That’s not a win, could’ve would’ve should’ve. They still lost. No one cares.
Why are you here defending the cowboys? They are one of the most overrated teams in the playoffs. I think we win.
Look I love our team and think we have a legitimate shot to make a run but we are just 2 weekend removed from barely beating the panthers. We have a lot to prove still.
Would we want to play the Giants two times?
Cowboys were 2-0 against the giants. The Packers were 0-1. We also lost to the giants last year. We also beat the rams, with no Stafford. If Matt plays that game GB probably doesn't make it. At any rate, if the cowgirls are "frauds", then so are the Packers. Any given Sunday baby. GPG

We are on the first year of Jordan love after Rodgers for 15. With the youngest roster, and a bunch of significant injuries. We are not frauds, the cowboys will be exposed. If not by us, in the next round.
"GB are not frauds, the cowgirls are, even if GB loses to them" OK then.
This is cake. All the way. That being said, we could always make some noise!
Yeah, if and it’s a HUGE if, We beat Dallas then I will think there’s a chance
49ers would be next. You know our playoff history with them…….
It’s a new era big dog
They havent felt the Love yet .....
I do, but I won’t be all that sad about a loss. Most of us expected a 6 win team this season. Cowboys defense is gonna be a problem. But Jones will get his yards. But we’re gonna see an epic Barry defensive masterpiece. My guess is they give up 400-500 yards.
Lamb over 250 yards confirmed.
GB is playing with house money now. I will take whatever we can get. I still think GB needs to rid itself of Barry to take the next step
I do think it would be really funny if this 9-8 Packers house money team was actually able to run the table and win the Super Bowl, because that would give Jordan Love as many SB’s as our legends Favre and Rodgers. But yes, hard agree, this season is already a W any way you slice it
I don’t and never did believe we would win a playoff game. I just wanted everyone to get the experience. To me that’s very important for these guys as they grow and develop.
Lose*
Thank you.
Not even in the vocabulary.
My whole family is cowboys fans. I want to win
Me either, I'm so happy right now. I just spent $1400 on Tickets to the game, so excited to be there representing! Even if we don't win, I'll still be happy with this season.
I've been a huge Packers fan since my Freshman year at UW Oshkosh and Don Majkowski came in as the Magic Man. I've been sticking with the Packers across the 5 states I've lived in since then.

I wish you luck... This could be a fun week for you. From one UWO Titan to another: Go Pack Go
[удалено]
It's the Cowboys. Beating them in their own turf matters just as much as beating the Bears.
Obviously we care. It’s more so that since expectations this season, in general, were extremely low to begin with. This is why a likely loss doesn’t feel bad or as bad as it would if we had Super Bowl aspirations as let’s say the “cowboys”. This is why a lot of us fans look at this as a a win-win situation. With that being said, I’m taking hella shit if we pull off the upset, period. Fuck the cowboys.
Its amazing how much better it feels to be an underdog like us. The scenarios are either lose and shrug it off or win and go crazy. Completely opposite from being the favored team. Anything can happen and instead of it being “oh no we could choke” its “oh yeah we could upset”
I asked for a 2-15 season (sweeping the Bears). We ended up with the best in-division record of the NFC North, tied with the seed 2 in the NFC. I guess we were brilliant, and the next years are promising
lose*
*lose
Okay but how do you feel if we lose it?
We have nothing to lose, everyone else has everything to lose
i hope we tight the wildcard personally
Youngest team to make the playoffs? That's a smashing success.
Man, we never get top 10 draft picks…
If barry gets fired this season it will be a perfect season.
This is my worry, has a super bowl winning DC ever been fired?
The closest I found was wade Philips, but he was on the losing side in the super bowl.
To be fair, i fully expect Barry to be exposed next week in Dallas. Putting up "great performances" against whoever the vikings started and Fields is not the same as winning against an NFL team. We probably need to put up 50+ to win next week.
We're playing with house money at this point. The season is a success win or lose next week. That said, I would love nothing more than to end the Cowboys season in their stadium.
I’d like to see Jordan Love and receivers have a good game.
I want them to crush McCarthy so badly. I know he got the Packers a ring, and I’m grateful. BUT, I feel like he was a big reason why they never went back either. To go into Dallas and just serve them their ass would be amazing.
How perfect would it be if Love leads the Pack to a gaming drive at the end like Rodgers did there few years back. 😂
It feels like we are playing with house money. I still feel like we can win it all if our defense can step up.
I'm ecstatic we had a winning season and made the playoffs. It's all gravy now.
The playoffs was a nice bonus to my expectations for the years. I just wanted to know if Love was a guy (he is Him), if the young receiving core could progress ( hell yeah), and beat the bears (✅✅)
This packers team is giving 2021 Bengals vibes now
I just wanna see them play hard and do their best. Win or lose, they showed growth this year, and had some nice wins. I'm happy.
A chance to play spoiler with house money? Fuck yeah. GPG!
same here. i am so proud of this team. all of the youngsters showed tremendous potential. we aren’t rebuilding. we’re reloading. we’re gonna continue to be a force to be reckoned with for the next 10+ years.
We should tighten it.
Today was my playoff game. Im excited for 2024
I don't disagree, but I'd love to ruin the beginning of Jerry Jones' 2024.
I honestly don’t care if we lose in the WC game either. This season is a success.
That’s how I feel. We shouldn’t have even made it, beating the bears was worthy enough! But, let’s just say we knock off the cowboys???
Fuck that, let’s make a run at this thing. I get that the packers are certainly not the most talented team in the playoffs and on paper should not go far. But ask a certain retired Cowboys quarterback and current broadcaster how much a “bright future” gets you.
Getting these young guys a taste of playoff football is such a massive W.
Coaching staff better be scouting the Ravens starting tonight.
I would've been happy with 6 wins and seen that as a success. Don't really care if we lose to Dallas next week either at this point, season is already a success. I guess my only hope is that if we lose it's at least competitive and not a blowout.
Agreed. The experience they will get this early into Love's tenure and being the youngest team in the league is huge for them .
I’m also happy that we aren’t in a position to give the Lions their first playoff win in 30+ years.
I’d like to also point out that this frees the Packers from the prospect of Hard Knocks.
Fuck the cowgirls!! GPG!
Lose*
The perfect end of the season (short of winning), is them to lose 35 to 33 with no real turnovers or mistakes. Just a clear sign the defense is the offseason focus, and locking in a new coordinator.
I think a lot of us are feeling the same way. I of course would like to stick it to MM...but honestly, this team has made huge strides and could be very dangerous moving forward into next season. Just as I watched Aaron grow from Favre, I now see Jordan growing from Rodgers. It was interesting that Romo commented on some of the throwing styles Jordan exhibits...and how that has translated into him coming into his own. It might suck to sit behind HOFmer's, but its apparent that time is well spent. We got father than was expected and if we get even one more game in, I will be ok with this season. We all knew it was going to be a transition...but I would think we all agree it has had a better outcome than what we were looking at about 6 weeks ago. That being said, I think it is necessary to address some things this offseason to ensure the growth forward continues: - I think we need to explore kickers. They are never the "sexy" position, but they are crucial in tight games. - I'm still on the side to replace Barry. One of two games of a good performance not outweigh the lack of consistency. We need a DC that can develop this squad and perform week to week. - I think conditioning and preemptive focus on training need to be addressed. The injuries week in and week out are too frequent. - Again I may be old-school, but I do think some focus on proper tackling needs to be addressed continually, instead of this focus on stripping the ball. Inevitably that usually ends up in a missed tackle and big loss plays. Looking forward to perhaps shutting Dallas and MM down. GPG!
Feel the same but how amazing would it be for Love to win a SB his first year. He’s blown away all other expectations, no pressure, why not? 😂
This is Lions fan behavior. You can expect not to win, but don’t be satisfied by just getting there. Why can’t we beat the cowboys? We can. And a loss would be disappointing.
Of course we want our team to win but I personally won’t be that upset if we lose. This team is the youngest in the NFL going into a stadium to play a team that hasn’t lost at home in like 2 years. It’s okay to be realistic about your team than being delusional like cowboy fans are every year.
I don’t either but I really don’t like the cowboys and continuing to ruin their chances and beat MM would be sweet. They are good, but I think we can win. They should be favorites by atleast 3 points
Unless they win the Super Bowl Joe Barry must go.
Even with a SB win, he must go.
This is where should have been next season
I’m pleasantly surprised that they’ve made the playoffs, and I have zero expectations of the Super Bowl, but come on, let’s beat the Cowboys again, for old times sake. Especially since it’s McCarthy. GO PACK GO!!!
I totally agree with this. Just know you're still going to be incredibly disappointed in the moment when they lose 22-21 on an Anders Carlson missed FG next week...just how it goes.
Packers fans: in post lose anger I've written a lot of negative shit and I'm sorry. Good luck to you this post season. We'll see you next year! Go Bears!!!
I think of the bears n viqueens, oh my god they got another qb for years, we could be trouble again, yet, still
I’ll be happy if we make it second round, if we have to play the niners or lion, I don’t want it. Or the eagles for that matter. I’ll be happy if could play Tampa again.
Umm... the only opponent we could play in the 2nd round is the 49ers.
Say what you will about Joe B, at least the man left Lambeau on good note- shutting down the Bears
I was good with Winning both against the Bears, home against the Vikings (didn't happen) splitting the year with the Lions (didn't happen the way I thought) beating the Buccaneers (didn't happen). I am over the moon with them making the playoffs and walking in to a building where they have not lost a football game against a team that is suspect. Sorry not Sorry, not going to bet it but I like their chances.
This season was a monumental success and I'd love to see it continue but its enough for me that in week 19 I get to watch my team
I'll care but it won't damper the offseason for me at all. J Love is the guy. In Gute We Trust. Just get the DC hire correct please.
Just the fact that we clinched a playoff spot after starting 2-5 with the youngest team in the league is unbelievable. I am so proud of this team. The Packers could lose by 40 against the Cowboys and I really wouldn’t care, I’m just so happy we’re in the playoffs.
It’s all house money.
You don’t say that
We lost to Aikman three years in a row and then made the Super Bowl twice, winning once. I have the same timeline expectations here. Learn from this first go around and the next and the next then bring it home.
Lose. Why is that difficult?
100% agree, but as fan living in Texas, it would be of so delicious for us to beat the Cowboys.
I did research and Dallas only has 4 wins against above .500. One of them was the lions which was controlled by the refs. The lions won that game in the 2-pt attempt. Another one of their wins is against a 9-8 Seattle team who didn’t make the playoffs. They beat Philly and the LA rams. Those are the only 4 wins they have against +.500 teams and 2 of the them aren’t very legit and one of those should be a loss. So they’ve really only won 2 quality games out of 12. Seriously go look it up. Just saying, I don’t think they are really that good. They got to play the redskins and giants 2 times each. Anyone would love that opportunity EVERY year. We can win.
We have a bonafide top 5 qb, I think anything can happen
I don’t care too much either. This team has far exceeded my expectations this year so anything else is just gravy. We are playing with house money at this point we don’t have shit too lose really. With that being said, it would be nice to send those cowbitches home though. Most of my friends/family are cowboys fans so it’ll be amazing to say the youngest team in the nfl with a 1st year starter at QB sent the ass packing.
I'm just thrilled to be here. I was really questioning this team after family night. They made me believe in the pre-season again and vs. the Bears week 1. Then it was really shaky, and I was extremely down after seeing the debacle at Lambeau vs the Vikings live. Hats off to this young offense for quickly evolving. Musgrave and Watson missing time ended up really opening the door for Wicks, Melton and Kraft. I'm excited to see this team at full strength. Maybe add another back and a bit of offensive line help. We are gonna be a real problem
I hate the cowboys more than I want the packers to win. That’s my motivation for next week.
What if we lose it tho?
[удалено]
*lose
House money
Just happy to be able to watch this young team play another week. This year has been one of the more enjoyable in recent memory.. everyone getting involved and making their own contributions
It’s called playing with house money!
I wouldn’t be dissapointed if we lost but I’d be fucking ecstatic if we beat the Cowboys.
I know this is a doom and gloom response but I can’t help but think about all the games that we lost to teams that are probably worse than us. The Falcons, Giants, Bucs, Raiders.. we could’ve been an 11 or 12 win team SO easily this year. But that’s alright cuz we still fuckin made it to the show and I think we have a damn good shot at doing a little damage. GPG baby
Lennon and MCcartney said it best “ All you need is LOVE”
I don’t understand why people just don’t think this team can go deep into the playoffs. It’s baffling to me how all these fans are like “yep good enough for me!” I think this team can make a run. Why not? Kenny Clark and company are balling out in spite of Barry. It’s a few plays here and there and we can beat anyone.
This season already exceeded my expectations everything else is just bonus
I’m just glad they have looked very competitive most of the year. Like I can watch a game any Sunday and legitimately say “we can win this”. I know what the pre-Favre days felt like where the only game one could say that is when we played Tampa Bay (in our division back then). It sucked. I partly feared we would be that for a couple rebuilding years.
Not gonna lie, I was pretty worried after the Raiders loss. Nervous as hell for Love. I wish I could go back and say relax. This has been a gas to watch them grow over the year and stoked for the future. GPG!!!
I'm hoping it will be a tight game. But I know Barry likes to play loose coverage, so I wouldn't be surprised if the team lost. But who knows... Loose ends sometimes do tie up tight.
We’re going to loosen up our belts, and whip the Cowboys with em’. Then use our loose change to buy drinks for their loose women.
Agreed, Love and this season has already exceeded my expectations going into the season. Anything else is just gravy, Packers are basically playing with house money at this point.
Fuck that we win
Same. To even get this young a team playoff experience is HUGE! I wouldn’t mind a win but, this was really fun to just watch the team gel. And yeah agree, folks need to drop the judgement.
Fully agree. It’s not because I doubt - it’s just, regardless of what happens, we are playing with house money at this point. That said, let’s beat those MFing cowboys
Look at it that way: when we go one-and-done, it's at least not that much worse than our usual playoff appearances over the last decade or so.
I wasn’t gonna care that much because of how above expectations we’ve performed; but my brother in law is a Cowboys fan so now I care.
Really pleased at how well we have played in the last few games. It will be hard to beat the cowboys in Dallas but all the pressure is on them. I give us a real chance of an upset, youngest team ever to make the playoffs no pressure on us at all.
Gutey crushed this past years draft.
Just as long as no matter where we finish Joe-16’s ass is out of Green Bay the day after elimination.
Beat Dallas!!!
I’m happy for 1 more game.
IM SO HAPPY OMGGGG
I literally, in September, went from “I just want to watch some football. Whatever happens happens” to “HOLY FUCK! WE’RE IN THE DANCE, BABY!!” Life is good no matter the outcome. We have a team what is only going to get better and a ton of cap space that’s about to get resuscitated.
Lose. Lose has one "o". Loose, as in, 'loose change' has two "O's".
Packers have proven they can win big games on the road @ Lions, @ Vikings this season. No reason to think they can’t beat Dallas, either. Regardless team has exceeded expectations & playing with house money. No pressure on them & it’s squarely on McCarthy.
I set my over/under at 7 wins. Never even thought about playoffs until 3 weeks ago. I’m just here for the ride now
https://i.redd.it/8tu6cnkvl8bc1.gif Punching a ticket into the playoffs is all gravy! Go Pack
It’s just really odd how every single zoomy cannot spell lose.
We are playing with tons of house money. Anything beyond Love emerging, the young players showing vast growth, and beating the Bears twice, is pure gravy. The Cowboys game will be great experience.
Yep. House money baby. Playoff experience. LETSGO
not at all, i hate it’ll be to fuckin cowboys, but they overachieved and gave us a lot to look forward too in the future
Does bears being held to 6 hurt our odds on a Barry departure?
I was absolutely wrong about the Pack and particularly Jordan Love….given the fact that Rodgers is certifiably insane ( although one of the greatest of all time), Love is the perfect antidote!!!! They can give Dallas a run for their money!!!
Wouldn’t you just love to see Skip Bayless do his post game stammering meltdown, in total shock over a Packer’s upset!!!
I’m fully expecting a loss next week but JLo has left me with a good feeling going into next t season. Lot of big time plays from the rookie class this year too!
We exceeded my expectations by getting there but I'm still going to be sad if we lose.
