Green Bay is 1/2 a game out of the lead in the North. If Rodgers and Cobb can come back on schedule they'll be in the playoffs. At that point they roll. Just like a few years ago they'll be the hottest team in the NFL entering the playoffs and brush aside the pretenders with relative ease.
As a Lions fan, I'm livid about their play this week. They clearly don't have the intestinal fortitude to make it far. Talented as anyone, but when you lose to the Bucs, you don't deserve to go to the playoffs.
That said, the Packers can't be feeling too good either right now, tying a worse team than the Lions lost to. It doesn't sound like Rodgers will play Thursday, which should put them 1.5 games back after this week.
Even with Rodgers and Cobb, you aren't going to stop New Orleans or Seattle. Carolina would be interesting (assuming they play better than they did early against Miami)
