I may puke after saying this, but more than a couple of Packers' fans expect Dallas to be in the NFCCG.

Dallas will only be in the championship game if they get through GB to get there. There's no way they get through Seattle.

I wonder how tough Arizona will be.

Arizona's D is tough. Offence...not so much.

That's pretty funny considering the Cowboys already beat them in Seattle 30-23 this season. Is Seattle playing better? Sure. But, the game will probably be played in Dallas. They definitely would have a chance.

Arizona could have run the deck with Palmer. Without him and without stanton they are done for. We saw that first hand. Seattle will sadly crush AZ. Dallas is no where near as good as GB imo. I do not believe dallas can beat seattle either. That said I think seattle is extremely overrated right now. They have been playing well no doubt, but their defense is being run on (yes, even with wagner back) and their offense imo is vastly worse. Couple that with the fact that harvin is no longer returning kicks and punts for big yards or tds and they just arent all that tough imo. Who have they played recently that is any good? I do not know is why I am asking....but philly isnt. not with sanchez. who else? Green bay should take out seattle if they meet no problem. NFC is a big joke right now.

I don't know if the NFC is a "joke" - Seattle is unfortunately great again and GB has the best QB in the game. Still, the NFC will only be relevant to me if we make the Super Bowl. Until then, I don't much care how that side plays out. I'm much more concerned about our own potential opponents

Well, I called this one. The Colts just beat up on bad teams and struggle against good ones. I see them getting bounced in the first round by either Pit/SD/Cin.

I want no part of Indy...or anyone in the playoffs except SD.

I would love to get Indy. Overall, though, I would be really surprised if Denver or New England fall to any of these AFC teams before the AFCCG. Pitt is the one who would worry me the most of the bunch right now. That's who I'm scared we will get in round 2.

Pitt is a SB contender and I would pick them to beat Denver and they might be able to edge NE. Regardless, Indy pasted us earlier pretty badly.

Another dirty little secret...Andrew Luck is kind of a turnover machine. He's second in the NFL in turnovers behind only Jay Cutler. It seems like most people have already anointed him as the next great QB, and he is really talented, but he turns the ball over a lot.

Well that's because you guys suck even worse.

To be fair, if we played in the playoffs, we'd beat Denver too. Denver is going out against the first team they play.

Yeah, just one more problem with the two seed at this point. Indy will probably fall to four and get eaten up by the Pats as we have to take on the Steelers
