As ecstatic as I am at the moment... for all that, it's still just a two score game.

Seattle shutting the GB running game down, passes and interceptions coming up shortly.

Things are going well for the Packers in the 1st Quarter. If all we get are 6 points out of this, we're doomed.

No COOOOOOOOOOOOOON there.

The Seahawks crushing the Patriots in 2 weeks couldn't happen to a nicer fanbase.

Nah, Moontayle is the good Cowboys fan, and Vimeseh is the good Bears fan. They're usually sane.

1) I'm not self hating, I'm realistic, and a limited Packers passing offense on top of everything else ain't gonna be pretty. 2) I could see the AFC teams winning against the Packers. I don't see them winning against the Seahawks.

Whelp. Good game rest of NFL, see you next year. Edit: Obviously, taking the home teams. Patriots by 14 Seahawks by 10

You realize that all the threads have Dallas titles because we'remockingthe Dallas posters, right? That their, Itlan, Araysar, etc.'s near psychotic levels of delusion add nothing of value other than humor for the rest of us... right?

It's not just us in Wisconsin, right? Can't recall Conference games this subdued, as everyone assumes the #1 seeds will advance. Hell, Milwaukee Sports Radio today was essentially "We may as well try while we're there". (Honestly, hearing Chicago Sports Radio going "Yeah, John Fox, this is...

Technically, John Fox's history is as a defensive coach, and the Bears certainly need help on that side. But yeah, the NFC North is no picnic to rebuild in - and I'm honestly not sure the Vikings aren't the second best team in the division even before the 2015 regular season is over.

For those who don't know, Luck did get an Architecture degree at Stanford. That isn't that weird a topic, considering. Also, what the hell will his retirement home look like, given his near-infinite budget by that point.

Just throwing this out there: Mike Shanahan for Head Coach, Jay Cutler for Quarterback.

I seem to recall BJ Raji was playing far better than he has since too; the defense nearly turned into a 2-5, since Raji plugged up so much of the middle. That's obviously not happening this season.

I live in Wisconsin. I don't think we have much of a shot. Even if Wroggers wasn't gimpy, I don't trust the rookie TE/C/WR3 to perform well with that crowd noise. GB simply hasn't done well against competent defenses this year, and Seattle is a bit more than competent.

Congrats to the Green Bay Packers on getting to be murdered by Seattle next week!

Goons on the internet (including some here): Rex isn't getting a head coaching job, he sucks. Reality: He's the first head coach hired this year. Never change internet. But yeah, aside from not having to move far, this is arguably the same situation he was in, with Rex's defenses...

Green Bay weather is supposed to climb up into the 20s - far cry from the literally sub-zero stuff we've been dealing with / you saw in last year's SF/GB game.

I'm still going all home teams. Seahawks by 10 (Michael and Turbin getting a ton of work is only reason for non-blowout) Broncos by 8 (A ton of Broncos running game is only reason for non-blowout) Packers by 2 (Game won't be over until the final minute) Patriots by 7 (Game won't be over...

There was chatter his personality didn't mesh well with the rest of the organization even before it looked like his dad was a lock to get a HC job somewhere. He's likely back to being his dad's OC this year, once the "good" candidates (i.e. those currently working as assistant coaches on playoff...

The prevailing thought was that some East Coast city with direct-to-London flights would serve as the US side of the organization, where business would actually be handled outside of the regular season and possibly training camp. I haven't the faintest idea how taxes would work, if they could...

For history's sake: I won 2014's Fun League 2 because I had Romo and Dez on my team. I won 2014's Auction League because, uh, I had Joseph Randle.

I do like that there's actually one team from each division in the divisional round this year (or does it happen more often than I realize?)

I like how the real winner of the call was Seattle - they get a pre-season warmup with Carolina before dealing with the scraps of whomever survives the Cowboys-Packers bludgeoning. Hell, I'm already tired of the "Does Seattle's second championship mean the Brady-Manning/Pocket QB/AFC as real...

As much as this hurts to say... Go Lions! (Would much rather have the toothless Panthers against the Packers, and the Lions beating up the Seahawks, than Romo in his home state and the Seahawks with essentially two weeks rest.)

Err, did they really just show all the fans waving white flags? No one thought that image through?

Is this an actual fucking Subway commercial inside the damn postgame show? This seems to jump the fence.

A fan of a competent, still-in-the-playoffs-even-when-both-assistants-get-head-coaching-jobs team? There are worse fates (Raideresque incompetence, Billsesque always-a-bridesmaid SB losses) to suffer...

We'll see how Cowboys look, but so far Ravens are the only team that doesn't look like a speed bump next week.

New ownership and he gets to keep his 2015 salary? I'd be all over that too, if I didn't think it would tick any prospective owners off. He can always go to the Raiders.

Going with: Arizona loses to Carolina (What's the lowest total playoff score ever? Because this could be in the conversation.) Baltimore loses to Pittsburgh (No Bell is irrelevant - Ben will just chuck it all day long against those Ravens corners.) Cincy loses to Indy (Hoping for mirror of...

It was commonly thought Harbaugh was gone before the season even started. That's nothing to do with injuries, suspensions, playcalling, or front office moves. The question now becomes, do the 49ers end up in third or fourth place in that division next season?

Is the implication Gordon was so high he couldn't even pick out his own name? So glad the NFLPA is fighting tooth and nail for the rights of players to throw their (already short) careers away.

I am almost positive the networks picked the games they protected months ago, and cannot protect anything in Week 17 anyway.

Rodgers hobbling around and Packers unsurprisingly going nowhere against a competent defense. How does Seattle/New England not have a 90% chance to be the Super Bowl matchup.

Nah, Catler under Trestman bus, as Trestman attempts to buy another year by blaming everyone else. In his defense, McCown didn't seem to have these issues either, though a lot of that is probably small sample size last year mixed with either tough defenses...

Most coaches' contracts have 'offsets' built-in, which basically means that the old team is still on the hook for the difference. E.g. I had $3Mil a year guaranteed, I get a new job that pays me $1Mil a year, the original team still has to pay $2Mil a year to get me back to the guarantee. And...

The amusing thing is even the top of this page is bitching about my preseason trade. You all should have known better than to doubt my winning strategy... of being the guy to get Odell Beckham Jr off of waivers.

So the Bears suffered another demoralizing loss AND managed to lose in a manner that got me into the Championship in the Auction and Fun II Leagues. Nice. Woulda been nicer if the Packers hadn't shit the bed, likely dropping from a first round bye to losing as a wildcard.

It's going to be embarrassing when the Packers have to go to the NFC South winner as a wildcard. It'll be even more embarrassing when they lose.
