Can the Packers still make the playoffs? What would they need to do?

The Packers were playing from behind the entire game and could never do sufficiently to catch up with the ever-improving Titans team. The Titans looked more relaxed and composed than the home team at Lambeau Field.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers had 24 of 39 with 227 yards and two touchdowns, but the missed wide-open receivers were the most inexplicable and harmful for the result.

NFL news:

One thing is for sure; the Green Bay Packers won’t win the NFC North title in 2022, which would be their fourth time in a row. After finishing the last three seasons on a high with thirteen wins, the best they can do this year will be ten wins, potentially. But this is not the only deciding factor of their route to the playoffs, it also depends on the performances of the other teams from their conference and their direct opponents.

Will they make the playoffs?

First, it is worth knowing that even a 10-7 record may not be enough to make the playoffs; a 9-8 will surely not be.

The difficulty level increases in Week 12, going to 8-1 Philadelphia before Green Bay proceeds to Chicago in Week 13 ahead of a Week 14 bye. The whirling Rams come to Lambeau Field in Week 15 before the Packers complete with the Dolphins (7-3), Vikings, and Lions. Just reading the names of their opponents in these last six weeks of the regular season would suggest that it will be almost mission impossible for the Packers.

With their irregular form during this season, it is even more difficult to believe in this type of ‘miracles.’ The talent is there, which they confirmed with three out of the four wins against the big teams - versus Tampa Bay, New England, and Dallas Cowboys.

The biggest problem - themselves

The biggest issue for Green Bay is that there is a tiny hint that this is kind of a sleeping goliath willing to wake up, as was the case in 2010, or that they’re capable of going bezerk as they did in 2016. To their defense, they’re struggled with injuries like never before, and expecting a 6-1 finish is wishful thinking. They did blow their best options against what should have been the easiest part of the timetable, but the Washington loss may condemn them more than anything.
