Well, someone said they're gonna "cause fits" the rest of the way.
Anyway, I can't get worked up about being scared of a team that has a disclaimer of "if they make the playoffs".
Throw was behind Graham and he was well covered. That's the risk you run when you have to make a play and can't just throw the ball away when the windows are tight.
I know the Bears are good but Rodgers is definitely missing a ton of passes. He's either checked out or just not the same. But he's bad.
The 402 attempt with out a pick streak may be the most meaningless “impressive” streak in NFL history. Packers are 4-7 in the 11 games.
Rodgers also has double the throw aways than the QB who has the second most. Meh.
I don't understand why teams that need two scores don't kick the FG a lot sooner, instead of trying for the TD and using all the clock.
Washington kicks a FG to win. It barely makes it through the left upright. Announcer, "And it goes right down the middle." OK.
When Rodgers slid, there was 53 seconds on the clock. By the time they called a play, and got lined up, the next snap came at 30 seconds. Incompletion, as usual, on the 1st down play, and they are snapping on 2nd down with 24 seconds left. Probably would have snapped on 2nd down with 40 seconds if they spike it.
It's ridiculous that Green Bay comitting a penalty gives them new life in this game. They have to revise the rules.
If Rodgers's arm is wack, Packers might have to try a wacky pop-up kick or something and hope for a muff
When people bring up Miami as the worst loss of the year, they should remember the Jags just lost to Josh Jackson (Johnson?), who lost at home to the Giants by 40 last week.
Well, sure, but the Jags' season is over and the Patriots are trying for a #1 seed. In summary, that loss to Miami is WAY worse and it's not even in the same league.
He's not saying the Jags loss to Skins is worse, he's saying Pats loss to Jags is worse.
I said it before but the Pats loss to Miami was only horrible due to the nature of the last play. If Miami had drove for a GW FG down 30-28 as time expired it would have sucked of course but it was basically a 50-50 game against a division opponent on the road playing for their season. The last play sucked but the loss itself wasn’t some horrible unfathomable outcome.
It was that Super Bowl win hangover. It’s gotta be tough for the Dolphins considering they play two Super Bowls every season and Brady has only ever been to 8.
Well close. Josh played only the second half last week, and played well in 40-16 defeat.
But, your point remains.
Some people have twisted themselves into pretzels to excuse really bad losses. The best excuse was, *It was their SB.*
Miami, which had everything to play for, got annihilated today in Minnesota.
I don’t expect the Pats to win today, and won’t be disappointed if they don’t. They are not much better than the Steelers, the game is on the road, the Steelers have lost 3 straight and they need it more.
The disappointments lie in the 4 previous road losses, three of which were not competitive.
I'm sure that I'm the only one that will give a shit about this, but...
There are 2 late afternoon games: Steelers/Pats & Seahawks/49ers. I realize the Steelers/Pats is a much better game. Everyone in the country can see that game on CBS (except the bay area). The only people watching Hawks/Niners are in the Pacific NW, Northern California and the NYC metro area because the Giants played the early game on CBS. I will guarantee Red Zone will show the Pats game 90% of the time, just because they can. This routinely happens with the late games every week and it just makes no sense. Show more of the games most of the people CAN'T see instead of the one just about everyone can see.

I would submit that with only 2 games to show, Red Zone will likely show almost all of both the Pats and the Seahawk games, only because there is nothing else to show and the commercials are constant. That's a very, very grim situation for the Red Zone.
4th and 4 at the SF 39? Please go for it Pete
Edit: C'mon Pete. I know the punt worked, but still...

My point was with both games going at the same time, the Pats/Steelers will get 90% of the screen time. And it's been true so far. It should be the other way around.
