Or this

Ashamed? Too harsh for me, but it's hard to accept a tie with my most hated team of all-time. Indifference doesn't taste good either.

My point is, Rodgers is probably going to come back within these next two weeks, the Packers need all the losses they can get until he comes back, because, unfortunately, I don't even trust the Lions to beat the Packers regardless of Rodgers playing or not.

I agree. My only point was that for all practical purposes, this tie affects the Packers like a "loss" unless the Lions/Bears tie at some point later in the season. If the Pack will end up winning outright (in which case they'd probably win the tie-breakers too, had they lost today) it's not going to matter anyway.

Excuse me? I can't even remember the last time I saw a complete team win the SB. This Packers team is about as complete as the 2010 packers team, or the 2011 giants team.

Anything can happen in the playoffs, and to think otherwise would be simply deluding yourself.

Anything CAN happen in the playoffs, but I give the Packers just as good of a chance to beat a team like the Seahawks as I would the Lions (who do appear to be a more complete team that just doesn't execute).

I'm not ashamed of this game today. Just a realist. If Rodgers was in this game we would have lost by a minimum of 10 points and prolly a couple touchdowns. The pack are not even remotely the same team without Discount Double Dick.

This.

Eh, Idk man, but agree to disagree.

I just know, that the NFC north is extremely fortunate the Rodgers sustained that injury.

Otherwise I doubt it would be much of race by this pont. I just wish we could have pulled this one off, the possibility of the Packers being alone in first place by the end of next week scares me.

The tie does NOTHING for us, nothing.

Better than a win when it comes to draft position.

I try and be as positive as I can be, but this team deserved to lose this game.

- A coaching staff that with a 2-8 team playing not to lose.
- A defensive lineman that was faced with a 4th down that everyone knew the qb will try to get him to jump off sides....AND HE DOES JUST THAT!
- A WR in a win or lose situation runs down field and not even bother to turn look for the ball until it was too late.
- A QB that makes up his mind about what he is going to do before the play even starts.

I haven't a clue where to even begin to fix this team.

This is only a good day if you consider yourself a bottom-feeder. We just saw what our "first string
" quarterback can accomplish vs a third stringer.....

Of all the games this season for someone to be ashamed, this is the one they choose. LOL.

Works for me. Would've LOVED a win, but in the end, not losing is far better than losing.

To me, it just makes everything simpler. There are no tiebreakers now. Either we have a worse record for the draft, or a better. We aren't going to leave anything to "strength of schedule". Same for the Packers. Tiebreakers don't matter. Either they will have a better record than the rest of the teams, or a worse record. No contingencies.

Yep. They haven't won in a month.

I think 9-7 wins our division. Sad stuff right there. NFC East is a joke, too. (Go Giants!)

The 4th Quarter he looked almost damn near unstoppable until they got up to 23-20.
