tbh I don't even want the playoffs till our defense is corrected because Detroit would get smoked like they did vs. New Orleans in the wild card game back in like 2011

That fake spike pass was incredible though. Still saying they go 10-6 or 9-7 and squeak into the playoffs. They dug themselves a hole, but not an impossible one to get out of. Hopefully the Browns game can be a confidence builder. The Colts are after that coming off a short week on Thanksgiving. Ben has a way of lighting their secondary up. I'll feel a little better about this team if they can take care of business the next 2 games.

I still believe they'll make the playoffs now that the offense finally seems to be clicking, but our defense is awful. The only bright side is that the whole AFC North is trash so it will be easy for them to reclaim the division
And btw i know how Ben does against the colts. I was at that Sunday night game against them last year where we won by like 40 and AB humped the goal post on a punt return TD. It was awesome.

Our offense is predictable, and other teams are too scared of Rodgers to ever drop 8 in the box so lots of coverage. So I'll give our offense a break. The defense on the other hand though.... Badgers secondary would be better back there. Its kind of pathetic. If we can win against the redskins I still think we'll win the division.

And the 5-5 Baltimore Ravens. Although I fully expect the Steelers to come back and win the division as they have the softest remaining schedule possible.

likewise, glad I don't have to work and have a large alcohol supply. 1st time since living out west we wont be doing any skiing on turkey day. Prepared for a full day of drinking.

11am kick off means 9am here so that means breakfast beers.

11th straight missed games for Levy and im starting to think its really possible he has been in concussion protocol all year long instead of whatever horseshit they keep telling the media. What a shame.

Should be an incredible game next week though. Packers and Lions are both good teams with several flaws. Pretty even match-up @Detroit.

I hope so. This season is eerily similar to the Packers 2010 super bowl season.

Beat the bears on a 60 yard TD pass again, possible 10-6 record, SB is in Dallas again, and Pittsburg is in the playoffs as well. It will be a spitting image of 2010 if the Packers beat Detroit.

If they continue to play behind a stacked offensive line then this all the way. I'm a Steelers fan and even I am happy to see these two playing as well as they are. Still pissed I took Gronk instead of Zeke in the first round of my draft this year.

Also it is so damn nice to see the Steelers keep the Ravens out of the playoffs this year. Going to be tough for any of the AFC teams to knock off the Pats at home though.

Dudes got the opportunity of his life. Dont think anyone's saying hes unfortunate in this situation. Been a backup forever, now hes gonna start a playoff game.

Tannehill wont be back this season. I think it was just a sprain, but he was ruled out for 4-6 weeks. That's right around the super bowl, so like I said, hes out for this season.

Ah for some reason i thought maybe he had a chance of coming back down the road.

Moore had one good game, they got lucky that the bills are such a shit show.... We shall see what happens.

The pats beat us with a backup... Maybe we will repay the favor. If we get 5th seed somehow weve got a chance to win a playoff game.

Patriots basically have a red carpet to the AFC Championship game, where they will likely play the chiefs, that should be a good game.

Cowboys are looking good too, but they'll have to take down either the giants, who they have lost to twice or the redhot packers, then either seattle or atlanta in the championship game, little bit tougher path.

Either way, I think it'll be cowboys and patriots in the superbowl.
