So after all the blabbering about how the NFC South representative is going to suck, Carolina is a 4.5 pt favorite.

Dude, home field gives you 3 points.

Not sure what that changes. Vegas thinks Carolina is the better team.

They are right now.

If they could win the super bowl, this would be the greatest season ever.

The real question today:



Accidental?  Or on purpose?

I say it was an innocent accident by House of Spears, who still suffers from being painted by the bad reputation brush, no matter what he does. 
He could've delivered Rodgers' baby in the back of a cab stuck in a snow storm, and still be dragged before the Commissioner's Office.

Is that Soo?  Dude seriously should be banned from the league.

In the last few games the Patriots stumbled their way into a bye week and home field advantage for all playoff games. Their offense was stopped the last couple of games, and yesterday they lost the final game of the season to Buffalo.  I hope their post season offense improves or else it'll be a short season. Prior to that it was extremely good, and their defense has been very good, but injuries have hurt them too.

I present the famous "giving the business call":

The point here isn't the call. The point is pinning down a future hall of fame QB and going for blows to his head only got a 15 yard penalty (after sparking guys to come off the bench). No ejection etc.

If we are going to throw out Suh, we should retroactively throw out most of the guys that played before 2000.

I think things started going awry in football when they started making lawyers NFL commissioner and college ADs.

Best solution would be a season ending chop block.  One each season.

You're kidding, right?  He's clearly putting all his weight on that left foot.  He even lifted his right foot off the ground.  He didn't even bother faking surprise at stepping on someone's ankle.

One game suspension is much too lenient.  Suspend him for the playoffs (however many games that would be) plus the first 4 games of next year.

[Admiral Yi]

What shape is Rodgers in?

[derspiess]

He returned and finished the game and he has a bye week to rest, so he'll be fine.

He was busying looking downfield as the play developed.
