The Packers need to field an NFL caliber defense just to compete, let alone win a game.

Admittedly, my statement is fueled by 30 years of the Packers always being in the mix.

Called holding calls should be challengeable. They oftentakes points off the board and seem to be the most subjective and also most wrong.

 

I'm thinking specifically of a Tyrod Taylor TD that was called back Sunday on a dubious holding call, and almost cost the Bills the game (they settled for a FG and ultimately won by four).

 

But unlike end of game PI calls, holding often isn't called at the end but instead throughout the game with real repercussions.

Jerrell Freeman suspended 4 games for violating substance policy.  Bears 2016 season rolls on.

Now two Bears players are suspended for using steroids. Everyone on the Bears is suspended, hurt, or crappy. The game with the 49ers is gonna be a humdinger.

 

It also may determine who picks 2nd or 3rd.

I know I'm not the first to say this, but if the NFL is so hell bent on having teams in other countries, why not put a team in Mexico City? They already know the game, they're fervent about American Football and they've produced NFL players. 

 

It makes too much sense, which in all honesty, is probably why the NFL prefers London.

Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC

Anyone else notice the green laser pointer someone keeps shining at the Texans offense? They must be playing in Mexico.

Fact that can't possibly be a fact....

 

With the Steeler victory over the Browns yesterday, Ben Roethlisberger is now tied with Derek Anderson for most victories at the Browns' current stadium....

Crazy...that's at least as much of an indictment of how poorly the Browns have been at figuring out the QB position as Big Ben's greatness.  I'm wondering how often the commentators compare the Steelers' QB stability versus the Browns' revolving door over the years (which you can count on seeing at some early point during every Packers-Bears game).  Far as the Browns go, I figure their QBs keep breaking to the point they'd bring in anyone not named Manziel or Tebow to pretend to be an NFL QB.  Hell, I'm expecting a call anytime this week, and I'm a lineman who hasn't touched a real helmet since I was 18 :D all kidding aside, what's the over/under on Deshaun Watson being in brown come April?  Hell, if I were them I'd pass, get what I could get for Joe Thomas, piss 2017 away too, and then grab Lamar Jackson.  But what do I know?

Thursday's game will be a big one, my friend. I learned long ago to never bank on the Lions doing anything, even when it seems like a lock. Being conservative, I see them beating Minnesota, Chicago, and either the Saints or Giants, putting them at 9-7. 

 

The Vikings, as banged up as they are, still have a stout defense. In their last 6 games, the Bears, Jags and Colts are all winnable, putting them at 9-7, but losing the tie breaker to the Lions.

 

The Packers typically dominate in December, but they're already in a fairly deep hole. I can't see them beating Philly, Seattle, but their other 4 games (Hou, Chi, Min, Det) are all very winnable. Even then, they're at 8-8. 

I've learned to never bank on Cutler, but in their quest to tank for his replacement, the Bears will somehow pull a win over either the Packers or Lions out of their hats (given they used up their surprise Vikings win already) and it will be because Good Jay decided to show up one last time before he and Smokin' Jay head down to Miami.

Scratch most of this...they have a shot at beating the Pack, given Alshon will be back by then, and right now the GB defense is so depleted they couldn't cover rock with paper...the Pack D would have to choose between being a collective sieve against the pass or failing to stop the run.  They'll have managed to beat the Lions accidentally by then, though, and have used up their fluke win quotient for the season.  Meanwhile, Cutler will look forward to reuniting with Gase, and the Bears will either grab Deshaun Watson, Deshone Kizer or Jabril Peppers (in the latter case, extending the tank job by a season in order to grab Lamar Jackson)

I don't understand why the league cant have full-time refs.

MMQB touched on this last week or the one prior.  Peter King pointed out that most of them have much better paying jobs on the side & the more seasoned refs would probably just quit the NFL.

Not sure the players & owners are ready for a bunch of 20 something refs.

It would be nice to watch one NFL game in which the outcome of the game isn't so heavily influenced by botched officiating.

The Tampa-Kansas City was one of the better officiated games this season, imo. A flag wasn't thrown until under the 2 minute warning in the second quarter.

 

It was quite refreshing

Tampa winning a game they weren't supposed to was nice, too.

Tom Brady is fourth in wins at the Bills' current stadium, but that's been around since the 70s.  If the stadium opened at the same time as the Browns' stadium did, he'd only be one win behind Drew Bledsoe for the lead.  Brady is also tied with Brett Favre for most wins against a single opponent (Bills), home and away.
