Just a quick shout out to Buffalo. Similar to GB in just about every way. Small market. Throwback stadium. Fan base that will sit through bad teams and worse weather and still show up. Had to listen to move rumors for years. Homegrown legends like Smith, Reed, Thomas, Talley, Tasker, DeLamieleure, and Kelly that will defend Buffalo forever. Hard team to dislike. 

 

Just not this weekend. 28-17 GB.

I watched the extended highlights of the Donkeys/Bills last night, and it only confirmed the belief I share with you that Manning's arm is now at dishrag level.  BUF won't be able to just dare AR to beat them over the top and wait for ducks.

 

In fact, IMHO Manning, Brady and Brees - the other three guys most folks tended to put in the 'elite' category along with AR before the season - have all shown signs of slipping to different degrees.  The Bills haven't seen a QB like AR this season.

Manning - 38

Brady - 37

Brees - 36 next month

 

Rodgers - 31

 

Probably has something to do with it.

I think that has everything to do with those three slipping.  Manning's arm is gone, as said.  Brady doesn't seem to be able to slide around and still throw accurately like he used to, or at least not as often as he once did.  Brees seems to be losing some of his accuracy.  Each is still capable of a great game at any point, but not consistently.  I'd say Brady has slipped the least compared to the other two.

Some pundits are saying that Lacy will be the bust of the week. A stout Bills D line may slow him down in the rushing game, but won't slow him if they use screen plays. Looking at the Packers winning in a close game as our pass defense against Watkins rears its ugly head early. Putting pressure on Orton is key and Julius Peppers has a big game. Hayward or Tramon get a big INT to seal the deal late.  28-24 Packers.
