It’s been exciting to see these Packers start playing better the last few weeks, but I would urge caution about their playoff chances. A team stocked so heavily with very young (but talented) players will have games where they rise up and beat teams you wouldn’t expect, but they will also blow it against teams they should beat easily.
For an experienced team with the same talent level, a playoff spot would be a pretty good bet. But first and second year players make lots of mistakes, and sometimes they come in bunches.
I believe the Packers can make the playoffs, but I would caution everyone not to set that as the expectation. If you start thinking the Packers are LIKELY to get to the playoffs, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

Don’t expect them to make it. Just hope we can stay in the race and play well
I’m just happy we’re even talking about this given how we were looking 4-5 weeks ago.
I am not the mathematician that I once was, but I did run some basic analytics based of the same algorithm that 538 was using and I can say with a moderate to high amount of certainty we have at least a 101 percent chance of making the playoffs. So I wouldn’t worry too much.
We beat the teams we should easily beat then we’re in.
Get that lukewarm piss mentality out of here dude
WE GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS HOT PISS HOT PISS GO PACK GO
That was playoff football on Thanksgiving. Keep that up and they should be in.
I expected a 4-13 record this season, so every win is just icing on the cake at this point. To even think that this team has a chance at the playoffs is almost laughable and shows how truly bad this NFC Norrh and NFC as a whole is playing this season.
I view it as a win either way — either we get in the playoffs and much of the team gets their first playoff experience, or we don’t and we have good draft capital which isn’t a disappointment because we’re not a Super Bowl contender
