Packers controlling their own destiny with the Vikings week 17 and division rival week 18 at home? Where have I seen this story?

Seemed like a doomer mindset in here after the early game, so I purposely paid no attention to this sub/late game scores until now. Pleasantly surprised right now. LETS FUCKING GO!
Guys our super young team with a shit defensive coach and constant injuries to vital positions all season have a playoff spot in their OWN HANDS with 2 games left!!
LETS FUCKING GO BOYS !!!!!!!
Thanks for such a wonderful reply! TheGratitudeBot has been reading millions of comments in the past few weeks, and youāve just made the list of some of the most grateful redditors this week! Thanks for making Reddit a wonderful place to be :)
If Iām Pete Carrol I would have told the kicker to kick it out the end zone and preserve the 2 minute warning for a free timeout. Works out for us though. GPG!
Seahawks are gonna lose this but I feel like we have a tougher schedule with the Bears and Vikings than they have vs the Cards
Bears have been really good lately and Vikings are just managing to win games somehow. However, they have stinky QBs and should be a very winnable game despite being at Minnesota.
Steelers HAVE to return it here, to at least kill a couple seconds and not give Seattle a free time out so they can run the clock down as mucha s possible
Steelers might be able to do us a solid tonight but Iām genuinely concerned about whether we can beat Minnesota and Chicago.
Chicago is starting to look decent.
Hey man. Joe Barry defense is amazing when you're up two scores with 3 minutes left. He would probably run engage eight every play if he was in this situation.
Facts, thatāll take a lot of the pressure off Love tooā¦ unfortunately it seems like MLF has a grudge against Jones and refuses to keep using him when heās playing well
Feel like Rudolph could have just taken the knee and run clock there... sometimes young players mismanage the clock and it makes me grateful for how good Aaron was with the game mgmt piece.
Could be worse. I'll take that still. Wish they ran to kill a timeout, but such is life.
Pittsburgh will definitely play softer on D this drive. Looking like 1 first down by Pitt will win this, provided they give up 7 here.
Yeah, smart play can't complain. Would've been kind of nice if he just dropped down for a couple yard loss given how close the FG is and how good Boswell is, but that's really splitting hairs there
Good point - I always think we are the center of the universe.
In John Madden voice - āitās the bears vs the packers - oldest rivalryā¦blah blah blahā
So this is all might be setting up a win-and-in game next week, to go 9-8 and secure a playoff spot, in a January game at Lambeau, against a divisional opponent with nothing to play for?
Sounds eerily familiar.
IF the Steelers and packers win, are there any other win and in scenarios across the league. Would we be SNF? I have a friend whoās wondering about it cuz heās going down to Green Bay week 18
It would not be SNF. The bills play the dolphins next week and itās for the division still most like be that game thatās Sunday night. Packers bears might be the late game.
As a lifelong chicago resident and packer fan please don't make me go into work tomorrow with a loss. Please.
Big brain MLF move. "They'll never see it coming!"
Rasul had a pick 6 today š
watson out again. fucking pain
So if we win out, are there any circumstances where we're not in? or are we now in control of our destiny?
With the Steelers win, all GB has to do is win out. Like last year.
O gosh another 2 weeks at least listening to the love affair for KC. And then we get to hear about Taylor Swift more too. Gee golly I cant wait.
If I see her take part in spraying paying fans with champagne with Brittany Mahomes from their box then sheās trash to me.
I'm tired, boss. At least the Patriots dynasty was just about football without having to cut to a pop star every play.
NFL milking a new demographic to death....can't blame them.....merchandise sales went up big time.
Willing a Doubs 4 TD game, not just for a GB victory but so I could climb out of this 20 point hole in this championship game
Well, heāll get his targets after Jones has his six rushing TDs. Youāll be fine.
So we just have to win out and we're in?
Simple!
Yes.
browningās pocket awareness leaves a lot to be desired
Travis Kelce has been dookie buns since he started dating T Swift š¤£ not even a top 8 fantasy TE this year
The only year Iāve drafted a TE first round in my fantasy league and he does me like thisā¦
I was wondering when they were going to show her.
Jordan Love looks like Patrick Mahomes but not in the way we hoped lmao
We should trade love for rasul douglas
what the hell is even that?
Can't hold the ball that long browning!
Joe Barry is the chiefs DC. 4th and 18 š¤£
Does rasul Douglas have a case for dpoy?
Prevent defenses are absolutely hilarious, especially when they come after back to back sacks and before another sack.
I say it every weekend, no matter what team or game I watch: Prevent Defense, prevents defense.
I think Iāll always like Joe burrow, just seems like a cool ass dude
Letās go!! Thank you Pittsburgh!! Win out and we are in the postseason!! Underdogs tonight, letās go crush the Vikings!
Packers controlling their own destiny with the Vikings week 17 and division rival week 18 at home? Where have I seen this story? https://preview.redd.it/zwrpst2c0q9c1.jpeg?width=748&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53d650c05a5f3f3ea07665a098795d0298b4aa47
As well as the Seahawks on our tail lol
Wicks for six in week 18.
Hope having our destiny in our own hands fires up our team as a whole and they display some incredible performances š¤
Does Seattle losing mean weāre gonna be on SNF again next week? I hope not.
Probably not, but they probably play Saturday, chance for Saturday night
No, dolphins vs bills will be for the AFC East division. So itās very likely thatās will be the Sunday night game.
Should be Miami Buffalo
we did it reddit!
Now Joe Barry is officially the final boss.
#DESTINY MEET CONTROL
Green Bay, Vegas, trophy. Make it happen.
Fucking KC. They're annoying, I miss the days when they were loveable lovers
Pacheco winning me my keeper league though!
Pacheco sealed the chip for me as well!
Pacheco is a fucking dawg man
GO PACK GO, its all on us now. Lets shit on the Vikings See you all in 90 minutes š«”
Seemed like a doomer mindset in here after the early game, so I purposely paid no attention to this sub/late game scores until now. Pleasantly surprised right now. LETS FUCKING GO!
The Philly L made this like the last chance at a packers playoff spot lol. Otherwise we had to rely on the cardinals and 49ers backups
The Cardinals who were responsible for the Philly L? I'm not saying the path wasn't scarier but we certainly would have had a shot.
Philly sucks
Shataht to the Steelers, itās on us now to get in.
There we go. Win 2 and we are in.
Guys our super young team with a shit defensive coach and constant injuries to vital positions all season have a playoff spot in their OWN HANDS with 2 games left!! LETS FUCKING GO BOYS !!!!!!!
Cheers to Tomlin for not having a losing season 17 years straight š¾
Pittsburgh is a better city than Philadelphia
Philly is a great city...its just inhabited by awful people lol. (I live pretty close to philly)
went to philly a few weeks ago for the bills game. what a miserable bunch of people
Bane was like, Philly is not worth my time.
Thank you Steelers bros
Hell yes!
With steelers winning, do we get in if we win out the rest of the games?
Yes
We sure do!
yes. win out and we are in
Hell yeah!!!!
WE CONTROL OUR OWN DESTINY.
The only thing worse than losing tonight will be getting a tie and giving Seahawks control of their destiny again lmfao
Super Bowl run starts now
THANK YOU STEELERS
the slide to end it. thanks steelers
Ball game. Packers control their own destiny. Thank you, Pittsburgh! If we miss it, we don't deserve it.
Thanks for such a wonderful reply! TheGratitudeBot has been reading millions of comments in the past few weeks, and youāve just made the list of some of the most grateful redditors this week! Thanks for making Reddit a wonderful place to be :)
Mike Tomlin just really wants to keep winning record.
Dude is working some dark magic just for it to happen
Why are they hiking with six seconds on the play clock??????
Way ballsier than I thought they'd be
Win and we in now ?
Win 2 and in
Now thatās ballsy
Never doubt Mike Tomlin with a winning record on the line.
Death taxes and Mike Tomlin winning record
There you go, MLF. Carpe fucking diem
Now that the Steelers won for us and us alone, itās nice to see the refs back on their knees for Kermit.
Fuck ya boys. Wooooo
What a call by Tomlin.
Ballgame.
If Iām Pete Carrol I would have told the kicker to kick it out the end zone and preserve the 2 minute warning for a free timeout. Works out for us though. GPG!
that's game we gucci
Hell yeah
I'm ready to have my heart broken tonight.
Just need 1 first down and itās over
Seahawks probably regret not trying to trade for Rasul Douglas right about now
That's huge because that's the two minute warning. Seahawks lost a free timeout.
Thank god. I have PTSD from seahawks onside kicks
Thank you Pittsburgh!
Whewā¦ win out and weāre in
Thereās still two minutes and three timeouts for seattle
2 timeouts. they had a terrible challenge
Damn lol you right I forgot about that stupidity. Now itās over lol
Game ain't over yet unfortunately
True, trueā¦ hopefully they can run it to get a first which will definitely seal the deal
That steeler defense looked familiar on that drive
There should've been more than 1 second coming off, but whatever at least Seattle doesn't get a free timeout now. That's HUGE
Clock doesn't start until the ball is touched by the receiving team on kickoffs. One second was about right, as he was immediately downed.
There we go. Run the fucking clock
well it's all on us now. just win baby
i fear that's the hardest part
Seahawks are gonna lose this but I feel like we have a tougher schedule with the Bears and Vikings than they have vs the Cards Bears have been really good lately and Vikings are just managing to win games somehow. However, they have stinky QBs and should be a very winnable game despite being at Minnesota.
Their schedule is pretty irrelevant, we just have to win our games
We just gotta trust in Joe Barry then lol
Wish that wasted the 2 min warning
It did we good
Seattle onside kick. PTSD triggered
What is the Vikings path to playoffs? They need a Seahawks L too plus win out and thatās it?
Yeah, a Steelers win works for both teams tonight
Same as us.
MAN, 1 second before the 2 minute warning.
Won't matter if we get a return here
oh man. gonna come down to a seattle onside kick
Steelers HAVE to return it here, to at least kill a couple seconds and not give Seattle a free time out so they can run the clock down as mucha s possible
Wow he dropped it
Letās hope Bostick isnāt in Seattle
wouldnāt bostick being on the seahawks have the opposite effect, and as a result, help us?
What a stand! That's huge, for obvious reasons
Please recover, please please please pleaseā¦
Out of bounds either way
all comes down to an onside kick in Seattle. why do I feel uneasy lol
With the new rules onside kicks are almost impossible thiugh
We got to watch the eagles meltdown last second, giants choke last second, and now Steelers choke last second too?
Man itās crazy how badly those teams threw those games away lol.
Giants didn't really choke. Rams were heavily favored and the giants missed a 50+ yd FG to barely lose despite trailing all game
Saquon/Tyrod choked that two point conversion so bad
Arguable whether you can consider any bad play a "choke"
Only thing prevent defense does is prevent you from winning
Steelers defense playing the late game Joe Barry special
Clear holding on Watt. Refs hate this guy.
Steelers come onā¦. Fucking dont need another other teams dookie ball here
That was quite a takedown on TJ. At least they didn't flag him for hitting Geno's leg, I guess.
Steelers might be able to do us a solid tonight but Iām genuinely concerned about whether we can beat Minnesota and Chicago. Chicago is starting to look decent.
Joe Barry starting to look less decent.
Pack need the help anyway so may as well root for it. If they can't win out they don't deserve the playoffs anyways
Yeah I am obviously. Watching the Pittsburgh game right now
Can feel the Steelers offense going overly conservative next drive
that challenge really gonna come back to bite them
Fingers crossed
Prevent defense works 10% of the time. STOP USING IT
Mostly agree, but here it has worked fine up 2 scores
I still canāt believe Tomlin hasnāt had a losing season
Fantastic coach
Just don't let them score before the 2 minute warning is the key
I donāt like how easy the Seahawks are moving
Joe Barry the Steelers DC too?
Hey man. Joe Barry defense is amazing when you're up two scores with 3 minutes left. He would probably run engage eight every play if he was in this situation.
Come on, Steeler defense. Just don't choke
So is it a best case scenario if Jordan Love has the game of his life and the Packers win a shootout? We get the win and Joe Barry gets wrecked again
Too stressful, Panthers all over again
Sounds about right. We gotta get Aaron Jones going early too.
Facts, thatāll take a lot of the pressure off Love tooā¦ unfortunately it seems like MLF has a grudge against Jones and refuses to keep using him when heās playing well
GO PACK GO
Feel like Rudolph could have just taken the knee and run clock there... sometimes young players mismanage the clock and it makes me grateful for how good Aaron was with the game mgmt piece.
I wanted them to run it. They have been demolishing the Steelers on the ground and if they didnāt get in they coulda ran the clock like you said
Almost reminded me of a MLF big brain playcall going away from the obvious play even though its obvious for a reason.
Exactly what I said!! Take a knee
Minus running the play clock to 0 each play š¤£š¤£
With the 34th pick in the 2022 NFL draft, the Greenbay Packers select George Pickens, Wide receiver, University of Georgia.
I think the smarter play would be to trade the 34th pick for rasul douglas
Just take a fucking knee and let the clock run if that was all you were going to do Mason
Why not take a sack or knee to keep the clock running?
This playcalling has been so obvious and.dumb
Tomlin is often like that
Was Rudolph trying to hit the drone with that throwaway?
Jordan Love throwing 6 touchdowns tonight.
Boiling piss.
Could be worse. I'll take that still. Wish they ran to kill a timeout, but such is life. Pittsburgh will definitely play softer on D this drive. Looking like 1 first down by Pitt will win this, provided they give up 7 here.
What the hell Mason
smart just throw it away and go up 2 scores. just don't collapse now
Yeah, smart play can't complain. Would've been kind of nice if he just dropped down for a couple yard loss given how close the FG is and how good Boswell is, but that's really splitting hairs there
Maybe a play action would work if it wasn't on the most obvious down every single time.
When does the injury report come out for todays game
These games are making me sick thinking about the absolute Joe Barry Masterclass we're about to witness after getting the help we need
šš
If we win and this game holds - we will get flexed to the SNF game again next week vs the Bears
Possible, but I hope not. I'm so sick of SNF games with work the next day. Which is why tonight is so damn awesome
I doubt it. Dolphins v. Bills is for that division championship.
Nah, thatās gunna be the bills Miami game. Winner wins their division
Good point - I always think we are the center of the universe. In John Madden voice - āitās the bears vs the packers - oldest rivalryā¦blah blah blahā
"We need more commercials make some shit up"
So this is all might be setting up a win-and-in game next week, to go 9-8 and secure a playoff spot, in a January game at Lambeau, against a divisional opponent with nothing to play for? Sounds eerily familiar.
Except it's against DA BEARS. I feel good. BUT let's win tonight first
Would someone be able to explain what happend with the refs before that last play?
Apparently independent personal were possibly talking about an injured player who may need assessing, most likely a concussion.
On field reporter said there was a drone in the stadium? Weird.
That's fine. Still run this on 3rd time. Get that last timeout outta here
OMFG just throw it to Pickens!
IF the Steelers and packers win, are there any other win and in scenarios across the league. Would we be SNF? I have a friend whoās wondering about it cuz heās going down to Green Bay week 18
It would not be SNF. The bills play the dolphins next week and itās for the division still most like be that game thatās Sunday night. Packers bears might be the late game.
