I would actually disagree with the this. Buffalos line was not the facter that won them the game. Rodgers was just plain off, and so were the receivers. Normally i give credit to the defense for doing that to the offense, but if you watched the game, there were lots of throws where Rodgers just plain missed the throw or the receivers drop balls that hit them in the chest. They had 13 drops on the year before the game and had 7 in the game. You can't credit the defense for that, because the offense executed the play as designed. Take away a couple of those and packers win the game. I can credit the DB's though because they had great coverage most of the game and had several near int's on top of the 2 they did get.
Observations from yesterday:
1. Seattle is the best team in the NFL and second place may not be close.
2. Kaepernick is not NFL starting material for a championship-caliber team. SF needs to move on.
3. The Packers likely cost themselves a shot at the SB with that loss to Buffalo.
4. The Colts are done. As it stands now, I think they would lose to either of the current wildcard teams (Pitt and Baltimore). That performance against the Texans yesterday was really, really weak.
5. RGIII had a decent game -- let's see if he finally got a clue or if this was an outlier.
6. Washington should cut Santana Moss for that outburst.
1. Nah, I think NE is best in the NFL right now. Seattle struggled in that 1st half much more than they should given how bad SF has been doing.
NFL admits roughing the passer call was wrong.
I think Harbaugh is a pompous loud-mouth d-bag, but getting rid of him would be idiotic given the way he's turned them around. On a selfish note, having a rival like that has been great for the Hawks.
The Niners need to con some other team into taking Kaepernick.
After manning tanking lost me one playoff game, the redskins no show against beckam almost lost the other, but Dez may have salvaged it. Have to see what brees does for him tonight.
Yea, I agree that they are playing well as of late, and if you read what I said, I gave them props for playing well on D and how Teddy B has progressed since we last played them, and he was referring to yesterday's game...they simply didn't play very good at all, and neither did the Lions.
It was an ugly game with all the missed tackles by Detroit and huge 3rd downs we allowed Teddy B and boys convert on us.
But that turned out to be the game-loser for them. Had they made it, then they would have went up by 4, forcing us to score a TD to win. Consequently, we made a FG, went up by 2, and ended up winning by that margin
I should have elaborated, i thought the Vikings D played very well and that Bridgewater other for those 2 picks wasn't bad at all for a rookie facing the #1 D in the league. Interesting to see that Buffalo had the same type of success that the Lions had versus GB earlier in the season.
Believing in Sanchez? Let's remember that he's a backup QB. The majority of NFL teams would be lucky to have a backup of his caliber. Do you remember what Weeden looked like for Dallas? Or maybe Brad Johnson for Dallas a couple of years ago? Despite the fact that he threw a game-ending pick while I was typing this message, he's been pretty successful for a backup.
Murray to have surgery on a broken hand... Hope Dunbar can keep up the good, limited, play he's had.
Also, NE is better than Seattle.
And, Santana Moss should be cut some slack. The guy is from the U and that was a questionable call. His team is doing poorly, his QB is being blasted by the coach, and he wants nothing more than to win. He even came out and apologized for it.
Jimmy Johnson once cut a guy for falling asleep in a team meeting.

And Cutler with an interception! Go figure. The Bears need to do something. Fire the entire team, IMO. Just get rid of everyone and start over.
I think the problem is nobody gives a shit in Chicago anymore. At least, it sure looks like it. They either need to get coaches that care or players.
And RG3 starting against the Eagles! I hope he shreds them, personally, because fuck the Eagles. And Houston... Do they even have a QB on the roster?
