I think the Chargers game is important. A win would be helpful. However, I think there is a chance of a snowball effect. A smackdown administered by LAC followed by blowout losses against Detroit and KC to leave GB at 3-9 could lead to a downward spiral. I suspect how these games look and feel might be as important as whether they are wins or losses.

The last five games appear to be against dismal teams. NYG (2-8), TB (4-5), Carolina (1-8), MN (without Cousins, with Justin Jefferson), and Chicago (3-7) are bad teams, some of whom might be in full tank mode. If GB looks like they are improving and are "tough outs" against LAC, DET and KC, it seems more plausible that the Pack could beat a couple of last 5 teams.

The thumbnail shows 8-9 and you mention possibly being 9-8 while acknowledging those are very optimistic outcomes. Okay, fair enough though it sounds like an old-fashioned Disney (or Marvel) movie. Prior to the start of the season, I predicted 6-11. I am not inclined to revise that prediction at this time.
