I know that was a beat up Saints team but the Packers have been since the loss to the lions! Something finally clicked and they have been playing complete games!

It was the saints, but the defensive line progression thru the season from what I've seen has changed the game for them on that side of the ball. The saints crap line just gave them even more confidence moving forward.

Chiefs look like the Chiefs. mtmuley

Chiefs still haven’t scored more than 29 for the season, yet have clinched home field for the duration of the playoffs.

Should they wish to, they could give players (Chris Jones, PMahommie, or other folks) 20ish days of rest before their first playoff game.

This is why I think buffalo should shut it down to an extent also. Not all the way but just turn the volume down a bit. I really don't care if they are the 2 or 3 seed.

I’m not a big fan of resting or sitting out preseason games if a player is not injured. I understand the theory but I believe there is no better preparation than real game scenarios. You can see the rust when players return from taking a week off.

Agreed double edged sword...im talking all injury designation guys. Let em get back towards 100 percent.

CD out for the season. Adjust those FF lineups accordingly.

I kinda figured with the $ riding on him and the recent injury while on an eliminated team.

That said:

I'm curious if there are backroom deals for eliminated teams playing those in the bubble to maybe, not let "X" star player in as many plays.

For instance maybe, for sake of "ensuring less potential for injury" Cowboys place Parsons in on half the snaps as the Eagles hope to clinch a playoff position.

Seems too many people would have to know thus a leak is probable - at the same time... Things that whirl a couch potato NFL mind.

I like to believe a professional athlete wants to win at all costs no matter the situation. When you start sandbagging, playing “not to lose” or maybe to lose if you are trying to get a higher draft pick your likelyhood for injuries are going to go up playing a team with players who are going 100% all the time every play.

Does GB rest their starters in MN tomorrow? They have WC locked up and cannot win the division. Just pride to play for at this point.

I hope not. Maybe putting Josh Jacobs on a pitch count, but the others are all young and need game snaps and touches to continue their development. If Green Bay rests their starters this week and next week against the Bears I will bet they go 1 and done in the playoffs.

Aside from the Bengals failure to take points when they had them at the front door, it's been a good game!

I think they will play full-go tomorrow, still seeding to play for. Not sure they won’t sit guys against the Bears next week though.

 

[Treeshark]

This game is fng awesome.

 

[Treeshark]

Unreal.

 

[jabber]

Did the touchdown for the donkeys that got reviewed and called a TD and the long pass for bengals in ot that got called a catch look like they both should have gone the other way?

I think they do not sandbag.

Today I passed a bar way out in the country but really close to the MN/WI line. Just barely in Wisconsin. The bar was painted a nice neutral red, and had two front doors. One labeled Packers, one labeled Vikings. I bet it is rockin' tomorrow. I hope they have a great game, but I want to see the Purple People Eaters prevail. (and next week too).
