Sunday Afternoon games n stuff

Bust!!

The ruling on the field should have been confirmed.

He's no Hawk

Bummer.  This football day not going my way thus far.

Superdome folks turn the wind machine on for that kick???

Loving' the Saints loss!

Why? 49ers win hurts the Packers. Just another team to worry about when it comes to making the playoffs.

Yeah, a Miner loss would have been better for the Wild Card race even though we already lost to NOLA

Wouldn't want to plaY at New Orleans in a playoff game, whether it be with Packers as a WC or on the road as a division winner.

Giants throw to Sherman's side.......hmmmmm

And take a look at the Niners schedule versus the Saints. Plenty of potential losses for the Niners. Not so much for the Saints.

 

You need to be more optimistic!  The Packers defense can be horrible anywhere.

Won't matter once we beat the fricken Lions in Green Bay

Who knows if that week 17 game will even matter. This defense is going to have to get better if it does end up deciding the division. The Lions aren't going to be dropping many games between now and then to help out the Packers.

Who knows who will be playing Guard for the Packers by then. The OL is really a worry now with both starting Guards hurting. Yeah, they can tough it out, but at what level of play.

"This defense is going to have to get better"

 

things we've been sayin for 4 years now. 8 games in, this is who they are for this year safe to say. The run defense is atrocious and that's not going to change because of the personnel they have this season. They just need to get up on teams early with offense to help mitigate the opponents run game and force them to pass more. Keep creating turnovers. Not the best recipe for success, but that's what they need to do vs the good teams.

 

 

Too much uncertainty in the NFC to know exactly who is going to be there at the end but New Orleans could have put the nail in the coffin of the 49ers and they failed miserably. 

SF is 5-4 with all the injuries and inconsistent play and we all know they can go on the road and win in the playoffs.

Derek Carr just completed a 2 yard pass to his guard (illegally) who then proceeded to fumble. 

 

James Jones and Charles Woodson get together twice a week and watch Americas Game 2010 over a case of Woodsons Cabernet. 

Lions 14-2 or 13-3?!?!

 

Hey, maybe they'll do a reverse 2013 with the run defense (horrible in the first half, great in the second). If we really accept the fact that there's no chance they'll improve, we may as well write the season off now.

The Packers will probably drop at least two more (3 tops if Rodgers stays healthy, though) the rest of the way, and I can't see the Lions dropping more than that.

Datone Jones has been out for a while and Clay Matthews hasn't been himself this year, both guys could still turn it on (Jones actually looked solid before he went down against the Vikings). Peppers has been solid, but he could still take it up another couple notches. Maybe a light will go on for someone like Mike Pennell or Josh Boyd, too. Having some of those things happen are the ways this defense still could get better. Also, let's try to remember that Burnett and Shields were out in the disaster in New Orleans two weeks ago. The Packers still probably would have lost with them, but they wouldn't have allowed 44 points. I'm just not ready to write the obituary on this season yet. The 2006 Colts had one of the worst run defenses in NFL history, and then in the post season, they were amongst the best in league history. The 2008 Arizona Cardinals had a similar turnaround in the playoffs. They allowed 427 points in the regular season (scored 428, so they were +1 in net points for the regular season), and then they were great in the playoffs. Lots of football left here, guys.

Palmer down...along with the Cardinals hopes.

Plenty of opportunity for Niner losses down the stretch.  And that means plenty of 'nails' are there.  New Orleans, not so much.  I think the Packers, if it came down to it, would be better suited to play the Niners on the road than the Saints.  Just my opinion.  Lots of football left though.

I don't think GB could beat either team on the road right now.

 

In GB in January? Sure.

Agreed.

 

I am shocked about AZ struggling, didn't realize Palmer got hurt.   That doesn't help us with Detoilet having to go there.... then again, they won without him earlier this year.

That didn't look good. If that's as bad as it looked...NFC just becomes even more wide open

 

 

Stanton up...cards fans forget Palmer

Drew Stanton comes in and tosses a 50 yard TD. I think AZ is a more dangerous team with Stanton. Todd Bowles will be a madman with the play calling. 

...along with all that cash they just gave him, too.

Sweet. Lang, Sitton AND Burnett are all active. Pleasantly surprised by that

Hope they're active AND effective.

Jeebus, NYG giving up 338 yards rushing to this point.

So the Packers rush defense has a chance to move up into 31'st place.

AZ with two defensive TDs after Palmer went out. Todd Bowles doing Todd Bowles things. 

Final numbers. Whoa.

@RapSheet: The #Seahawks said they would get back to who they are. Then… they rushed 45 times for 350 yards including 140 from Beast Mode.

@RapSheet: #Cardinals QB Carson Palmer is believed to have torn his ACL, per source. Tests to confirm coming

Days after he signs a huge extension. The Bidwell curse continues...

......and they play the Lions next week...freaking Kitties indeed have a horseshoe up their arses this year.
