Packers managing to make my day even more depressing

If you refuse to use any picks to help Rodgers then you better have a good D. And they don't.

Id fancy making more tackles and I haven't played rugby since I left school 8 years ago...
 
Can someone explain to me why on earth you go for 2 when you're down 8 and can make it 7

I dont understand some of the play calling. Can they not count or are they a bit stupid?

Going for 2 down 8 points: Packers pull off come-from-behind win thanks to this strategy

The Packers profited from being the first team this season to try this unconventional 2-point conversion attempt. Here's why others should follow their lead.

Turns out the Packers did actually make it, overturned on review, great play call C.

lol

Still don't understand it mind you. Surely chances of making 0 for 2 on two point conversions is higher than being 1 for 2 on extra points,?
 
Looks like we are down to 3 realistic Super Bowl winners now - Chiefs, Steelers and Bucs - in that order, with the Chiefs substantially in the lead.

Bizarrely Pitt have a legitimate shot at going 16-0

It really is much much closer than that. Seattle, Baltimore, New Orleans, Green Bay and even some fringier teams like Buffalo, Tennessee and the other NFC West teams could win it. One game playoffs can always generate weird results and only one team gets a buy now which will open up more possibilities I feel.

Yep. All that matters is making the playoffs. It’s not really all that common for the best team to actually win the Super Bowl, just whoever happens to get the hot hand at the right time.

How the hell are Baltimore with Lamar going to do anything - I think we’ve seen more than enough to clarify he doesn’t have what it takes against the very highest level of competition.

Buffalo don’t have the horses to run with the power offenses, Tennessee have now lost 2 straight - embarrassingly so today. The same goes for Green Bay. Seattle have no defense whatsoever.

No I’m sorry I don’t think it’s open at all. KC and Pitt are the cream, the Bucs have Brady. That’s all there is to it.
 
I hate how the NFC East and their massive media markets get such prominent time slots just because a lot of people will watch. Two absolute trash teams on in prime time tonight.

Two playoff games is enough to clarify that? Seems a bit harsh.
