Your want to's didn't reflect on you good or bad. But they were a useful indicator of just how favorable or disfavorable the weekend was for the Packers. And it wasn't always obvious so I enjoyed the analysis. For instance, in the "want to" realm, I think it's most beneficial for the Bears to beat the Vikings this weekend. Many, I presume, would feel the opposite. Edited September 25, 2019 by Mr Anonymous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, it could spur interesting discussion that relate to our team. As opposed to this list which is more likely to spur potential non-interesting discussions like whether we think Cincy really has a chance this year against the Steelers.

Mr Anonymous Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Woohoo, wish list! Vikings v Bears, and which outcome would most benefit the Pack could make for some interesting debate. I'd prefer the Vikings to take the L here as I fear them in the division far more than I fear the Bears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually....not that I've paid a whole lot of attention to Cincy....but their rivalry games against PIT have been somewhat legendary. Still? Who knows. We're about to find out. I imagine theres stats somewhere 'bout who beats whom when and where....but I'm not researching this stuff and I actually dont care as it doesnt affect the GBP standing.

mikebpackfan Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Re: Bears v Vikings: I just don’t know which way to go at this point. I guess who ever mentioned that the home team is probably best to root for is right. Just let them all go .500 in division and we go 6-0 obvs. Hard for me to ever “cheer” for the Vikings, so no matter what my head says, I’ll always be happy when they lose.

Mr Anonymous Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Another one that has me going back and forth on is NO v Dal. I hate the thought of the media fawning all over the Cowboys as they rack up wins, but the team I don't want to face in the playoffs out of the 2 is the Saints. Looking quickly at the schedule, as easy as the NFC East is, Dallas still does have some tough matchups down the line (PHI twice, MIN, CHI, NE, LAR). The Packers also have the chance to take care of business themselves vs Dallas next week. I might actually prefer to see a Saints loss here to knock them back a peg. The Saints schedule on the other hand looks very cupcakey. Edited September 25, 2019 by Mr Anonymous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer the Vikings to take the L here as I fear them in the division far more than I fear the Bears. MN's probably the more rounded team...and the "Trubisky factor" could be the turnkey overall. CHIs got some players on offense - no doubt - unfortunate for them, that includes Trubisky. I'm still thinking about this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAL (3+0 ; 2+0 Conf) has had the easier schedule so far - but - I still think them the better of the two teams overall and the greater NFC threat to us. A Conference loss this week....plus a second head/head Conference loss next week to us......... Thats the plan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great to have someone else win the South this year, maybe GB could experience a NE-esque glide path to the Superb Owl, then.
