It's even more fun when they try to do some Lambeau leap shenanigans. The defensive tackle who returned that fumble, Mike Daniels, was actually a running back when he was in high school in New Jersey. Iowa's head coach saw film on him, offered him a scholarship to come play D-Line, and now he's a 290-something pound lineman in the NFL lol. | ||

So glad my Packers took care of business, especially after that first half and we sucked. To be fair how would you feel if you were the obviously 4th best team in a division year in and year out knowing there isn't any chance of you getting to the playoffs. They're a team of losers that only know how to lose. | ||

On the bright side, I really liked what I saw from LaMichael James. That kid looks like he could be really good. | ||

The pass blocking has been really, really bad with the notable exception of the Bears game. I don't know what's wrong, but it needs to be fixed pronto before the Niners get their asses handed to them by some pass rushing team like the Giants during the playoffs.

Not to mention there's gotta be some cases where CK's lack of game experience has him not checking into different pass protections that Smith might already know to do. Also it looks super likely that we have a 2,000 yard rusher and at least one 20 sack player this season. Aldon Smith could very likely break Strahan's record, crazy that it'd come a year after Jared Allen came a half sack short. | ||

They lost their edge once they got a few bullshit penalties and every idiot in the media says that they're a "dirty" team. | ||

Shush  They could still miss though, the nfc has a few teams all at 8-5 or one off for the wildcard. Losing those corners is gonna be huge I think. Thankfully, they're not playing any big passing teams over that span. But I think the seahawks defensive strength is that secondary. The Bills, as inconsistent as they are, could definitely score a W, and so could the Niners. Rams I wanna give to the Seahawks, but they've been surprisingly competitive all year. I really want the Skins to sneak in at WC. Remaining schedule for the bubble teams at the moment: Sea (8-5): Buf, SF, Stl Was (7-6): Cle, Phi, Dal Dal (7-6): Pit, NO, Was nyg (8-5): Atl, bal, Phi Chi (8-5): Gb, az, det Min (7-6): stl, hou, gb sf (9-3-1): Ne, sea, az gb (9-4): chi, tn, min Div leaders: ATL (11-2), SF (9-3-1), GB (9-4), NYG (8-5) I think all of these division leaders should win, possibly minus NYG. They've got the hardest schedule by far down the stretch and Was has a very favorable schedule. Washington also benefits from the 8-5 teams currently ahead playing some good teams, so a WC birth could free up. What's the NFL tie breaker? | ||

I don't think that the QB change has anything to do with it. Alex Smith took more sacks than even Kaepernick does. | ||

Well, to be more specific, I only said they'd go 10-6 when you said the best they could possibly do is 9-7, but still. Thanks, replacement refs, lol. | ||

He doesn't loose as many yards though taking a sack though sense he mostly stayed in pocket, and it was only about 2 and half sacks a game with 24 sacs over 9 and half games. Really it was the penalties that killed drives more, still kills drives for kaep, i do think a part of it is kaep being new, we saw how under duress he steps out of the pocket too much and too early against the rams which only made balls harder to complete instead of taking the hit as you make the throw. | ||
