vike daddy Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Tonight’s game between the Packers and Seahawks isn’t exactly a “must-win” game for both teams. But it’s pretty darn close. Both the Packers and Seahawks came into this season with legitimate playoff aspirations, but the loser of tonight’s game will have a very uphill climb to the playoffs. Seattle would fall to 4-6 with a loss. Catching the Rams in the NFC West is already realistically out of reach, but dropping to 4-6 would make the wild card a long shot as well. It would leave Seattle well behind 6-3 Carolina and 5-3-1 Minnesota, but also behind 4-5 Dallas, Philadelphia and Atlanta. And, of course, a loss tonight would drop Seattle a game further behind Green Bay as well. Green Bay would fall to 4-5-1 with a loss. With six games to go, they’d have a very hard time catching both the 6-3 Bears and the 5-3-1 Vikings in the NFC North. The Bears and Vikings play on Sunday night, and the winner of that game will be the favorite in the division. And the loser of Bears-Vikings would remain comfortably ahead of the Packers for the final wild card spot. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/11/15/packers-seahawks-loser-will-have-a-very-uphill-climb-to-the-playoffs/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikeManDan Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 "Those statistics Zimmer is referring to paint an ugly picture for the Vikings heading into Thursday's game, which is why he has every right to be upset. Since the reincarnation of Thursday Night Football in 2006, only 10 teams have had to do what Minnesota is doing this week: Flying two time zones west for a Thursday game. In those 10 games, the visiting team has gone 0-10 and failed to cover the spread all 10 times. We tackled that travel topic earlier this week and if you click here, you can check out what happened in each of those 10 games."

Green Bay has yet to win on the road this year. They'd be bucking two pretty big trends with a W tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SotanKing Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Insane play from Rodgers for that 2nd Packers TD...extending the play and then throwing a 65 yard dime on run. He is just so freaking good at that. Mahomes is probably another guy whom I've seen doing those kind of plays so far this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I saw it was 21-17. Is Seattle even putting up a fight? They should win this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they are fighting but a lot of boneheaded pre-snap penalties on offense at home is making it look like they are lacking concentration. The game can still go either way. The Seahawks need to get their heads in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SotanKing Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Rodgers still has plenty of moments on brilliance but he has been messing up some really easy plays so far this season. That easy missed pass at 3rd & 2 in the end was extremely costly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
