The Eagles defense definitely got exposed today. Aaron Rodgers has hit his stride these past few weeks and is playing some of his best football, but the Eagles defense let him walk all over them. I mean Eddie Lacy scored a 20+ yard TD when Rodgers was just trying to get ride of the ball XD.

Typical Sanchez shutdown after the defense gave him pressure and couldn't get the offense moving. Not going to lie though, it was very satisfying to see the Eagles lose especially sense Eagles fans where so happy that Foles was out and acted like Sanchez was the second coming of Christ after the Panthers game.


HAHAH Yeah. They forget, we've seen this movie before (Sanchez @ Jets).

He's okay with a lead or without significant pressure. Pressure him and you own him.

No complaints here. But honestly after today, maybe Seahawks are not cut out to beat Arizona twice. I keep voting for Seahawks to win even though they are a 6-4 team, same as the inconsistent Steelers...


LOL Here's another one!!

Hey, don't judge the Seahawks too harshly for today, they were in it until the end, and the Chiefs are red-hot and hard as HELL at home.

Yeah and the Chiefs are kind of acting like they were last year. They were 9-0 until they actually went up against good teams. This year they are 7-3, with their wins against good teams when they were at their lowest. (Pats, Sea, Maybe Chargers)



^^ No disagreement there at all. I think KC would have to get better to go far in the playoffs unless they had commanding home field advantage through the playoffs, and I don't think they will. They will drop some road games for sure.

WOW @ DEA investigating NFL teams for painkillers. Doesn't that seem kind of strange? I mean you're dealing with players that get beat to hell and back on a weekly basis, a lot of painkillers are probably going to be prescribed as a matter of course. How do they determine what is over the line? "Oh, you have a fractured rib and a broken toe?" "Here, have some ibuprofen".

Oh, I know.

If the Colts win, everything is going to be fine.
If the Colts lose, I'll ban MTZehvor for the week because he is a Patriots fan.

Any objections to this plan?


I am all for this if it means I have a chance of breaking into the Top 5.

Looking at the remaining schedules, I think GB has to be one of the favorites from the NFC to get to the SB, if not the de-facto favorite at the moment at least.

Arizona looked like hot garbage today, and who else is there? Dallas? My Cowboys have some tough divisional games remaining. Eagles? Don't make me laugh. Detroit? Even worse.

I think besides the Cowboys, the best shot at slowing down GB in the post-season would have to fall on either SF or SEA, neither of which I would pick as more than a contender in a playoff game.

Each week more and more people count the Cardinals out.

And yet they still keep winning.

They may have a backup QB, but they play fantastic defense against everyone not named Peyton Manning, they've got arguably the best special teams in the league, and a receiver corps that's talented enough to bail an inexperienced QB most of the time.



I know quality wins when I see them, and I've yet to see the Cards put one up this year. They've won, yes, but a crapton of their wins were late lucky breaks against either banged up or downright terrible teams.

I think they get exposed just like the Eagles got shown today what happens vs. a really good healthy team with their remaining schedule and into the playoffs.

I would rate them as above average, but the record they deserve right now is certainly nowhere near 9-1. GB would have destroyed them today if they both played at the same level of effort and skill.

One does not simply throw two INTs and expect the opposing team to be so completely worthless that they will drop on-target passes repeatedly, screw up the snaps, mis-read the line, get stupid penalties, etc. They played so badly today they would have easily lost to any decent team.

Of course, that tells us also that Detroit is EVEN WORSE, lol.
