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.

I'm surprised there isn't more playoff talk here. Sure, those AFC wildcards (and the North) are a god damn mess still, but the NFC (outside of the South) is a down to just one question: Seahawks/Cardinals/Packers/Lions/Eagles/Cowboys. One of them isn't playing in January. And it sure looks...

I started this post to brag about Rodgers... but Luck really is going to be leading in the volume categories along with Favre and P. Manning in 20 years, isn't he.

1) Why is the internet dumb about DA3? DA2 didn't chart, despite all of four other games coming out that month (Crysis 2, Lego Star Wars 3, yearly Tiger Woods, Homefront) - there was no way in hell it would chart with last month's release schedule, even if DA2 hadn't scorched the earth. 2) MS...

Suikoden 2 is widely regarded as among the best RPGs of the PS1 era, and if I had a functioning PS3 or PS4 I'd be all over that in a heartbeat.

Shooting Happy made 'perfect' sense. WRITERS ROOM Hack Writer 1: Man, how can we gin up some bullshit drama about how "the club's rules" could mean the Redwood branch kills Jax 30 mins before the actual end of the episode, which anyone with two brain cells to rub together will know is a fake...

So I dropped in on just this episode to get it out of my system: I guess it was supposed to be touchy-feely when leadership of the club went to the only fucking Season 1 regulars left alive? Not a lot of suspense there... I guess it was redeeming when Jax went on his suicide run to take out...

I've been telling you guys, the first time the Packers run into a good defense (Lions, Seahawks), the wheels probably fall off. Hell, with Lions and Bills in the regular season still, it's not inconceivable they end up the #5 seed and lose to Atlanta in the wildcard weekend.

Did Rodgers just teleport out of the way of Biermann there?

I like to have a junior team to watch, a non-playoff team from the other conference that is on the upswing. If you were in the AFC, the answer would be obvious: the Vikings, who look like they will be trouble in a year or two. In the NFC, though, I'm having trouble. The Texans are a QB...

Maybe I just see it more praying for Rodgers' life every week, but it sure seems like you could convincingly correlate OL health with the differential of actual to projected wins, with the Dallas Cowboys on one side of the spectrum and the Panthers/Saints/Falcons/49ers/etc. on the other.

The level of vitriol you guys have for YOUR OWN TEAMS as they dick around in defacto playoff games is deeply entertaining.

Unless there's some third act twist that punts Sarah/Kyle into the future or something, this just seems like a pointless rehash of T2. Sure, there's no Eddie Furlong, but there's also nothing novel or interesting (aside from the certain-to-fuck-up-his-epidermis helicopter dive-bombing).
