It's bad enough we won't get the division, but our playoff spot is locked so we're fine in that respect. And it's also bad enough that the Packers are now NFC North champs of OUR division. these are all bad things. But here's the WORST part:

we may have handed the PACKERS TO THE SUPER BOWL. Forget about mathematical possibilities (they're not losing to detroit) let's be realistic and boil the playoffs to what it's really going to be. They're going to be the #1 seed or the #2 seed based on one game, the 49ers @ Seahawks.

If the Seahawks win AT HOME, the NFC West champ will be 12-4 and since the Pack has the tiebreaker over the Saints, the Packers would be the #1 seed. Seahawks have never beaten the Packers at Lambeau, and 41-year old Drew Brees in Lambeau in late January??? Packers could conceivably lose to SF at Lambeau, but the odds are certainly in favor of GB for the NFC title game en route to the Super Bowl. Ugh.

If the 49ers win ON THE ROAD, then the Packers will get the #2 spot (tie over NO). Here's the problem. because the Niners and Hawks are so evenly matched, in their Divisional round game, the odds are pretty fair that the Seahawks could win that game, which would knock the #1 seed out, and therefore the Packers would HOST the Seahawks at Lambeau in the NFC title game. Hawks have never won in Lambeau, thus Packers in the Super Bowl ...

In other words, thanks to the Vikings offense laying an egg on Monday night, the odds of the Packers HOSTING the NFC championship are sky high. And we will have played a pivotal role in the Packers in the Super Bowl ...

Hopefully the most probabable situation doesn't happen and the Niners roll through everyone, but the Packers have to be considered 1st or 2nd likliest to win the NFC now.

I had already conceded the division to them. It was supposed to be next week though. So Kirk goes Kirk and sucks in a big game again. We get the joy of them celebrating their division on our field. That is the part I'm blocking out now. I've always had to block stuff out between us and them. The hardest part for me though is the reality that we are still not in their class. They are a winning organization again and we are still their b*tch. I don't want to know anything more. I tricked myself into believing we caught them. We have not. They have a QB who even though aging and slowing will still likely be there longer then our misguided rental. They have championships we have hope and expectations. They are a better team for going on 30 years now and that pisses me off. Last night was my last straw for Mike and Kirk. I will never be fooled into believing them again. These two will never make us great.
Sorry
Thank you for listening.
Merry Christmas.

I wouldn't assume that. The Packers were 15-1 in 2011 and got DESTROYED at home by 9-7 Giants. Not even the refs could save them in that game (and they sure as hell tried). Also, SF has the tiebreaker over GB and the Seahawks just lost at home to the freaking Cardinals, so I just see the Packers snagging the 1 seed. Even if they do, they aren't invincible at home.

The worst thing IMO is the overwhelming amount of disappointment that came flooding back. Not just because we lost, but how we lost. I was almost starting to feel guilty about the "End of Cousins Era" countdown clock I added to the sidebar after the Bears game week 4. 375 days 19 hours 56 minutes and counting btw xD. I left it up because he went on a tear after that and I didn't want to jinx it, but now I'm leaving it up because I want it to end. We'll never win any hardware with this guy.

The Seahawks have won one time at Lambeau, back in 1999 27-7. They won 2 other games in Milwaukee in 1990 and 1984. Maybe you meant playoffs? Where the Seahawks are 0-2 at Lambeau. Also for some reason I keep thinking the Fail Mary happened in Lambeau xD.

Well the Seahawks will first have to win at Dallas/Philly wildcard weekend, and then they'd get the 49ers if the Vikings lost to the Saints .... which LOL, so yeah your scenario is looking plausible. But it's the NFL and anything can happen, unless you're the Vikings, who are very predictable.

Fun fact however: The 1987 Vikings went on an improbable playoff run winning at New Orleans 44-10 wildcard weekend and then at San Fran 36-24 in the divisional round. That's looking like our playoff road this year, at NO then at SF .... minus the 44-10 wildcard win lol.

They would be favored against SEA or NO at home though. I think they are probably outright better then SEA too.

The Seahawks lost at home to the Cards, but the Niners lost at home to the Falcons and almost lost to the Rams. There is a pretty good chance SEA beats SF.

Yeah the Packers even making the Super Bowl is bad enough. I don't even want to see them make the NFCCG. Unfortunately it's looking like I'll have to root for the Saints to beat them in the divisional round on the frozen tundra, and I don't see Brees playing his best ball in that type of situation. He got blown out at Chicago in 2006 39-14, then lost a couple playoff games at Seattle. He hasn't had to play many cold weather games in his career so there's not much of a sample size.

I think SF stands a better chance in GB then NO, and evenmoreso in SF should they beat SEA.

The worst thing is that I made a bet with one of my buddies who is a Packers fan. Tomorrow, I have to wear a Packers shirt and a cheesehead all day. That's what the f*ck get for putting faith in this sorry ass team. I'll never forgive them for this.

I was just thinking the same thing lol. Wait, James would put his faith in the Vikings to make such a bet? Doesn't sound like the negative nancy James that I've come to know. Sounds like a bet you should have won because the real James would have bet on the Vikings blowing it.
