Why make a separate thread for a football game when we already have a dedicated thread for it? Besides they are going to win.

 

[Chaotic42]

If Rodgers could get like, 10 more TDs, that would be great.

 

[BrokenVisage]

Boo-urns. They'll choke one of these games, no way they have a zillion fucking lucky catches like they needed today. I hope Tebow and the Packers crash into each other when they come back down to Earth, that would just be swell.

They always have a zillion awesome catches, today they actually had fewer of them that normal and a lot of drops.

Tebow and the packers? I really don't understand how you could compare those in any way, shape or form. You're talking about the reigning super bowl champs who are putting up points like mother f'ing crazy, and a team who has been pretty much awful for a decade finally beating other teams whose records are barely even or worse.

Just last week Skip Bayless said Tebow is more clutch in the 2-minute drill than Rodgers is.

Honestly, I'm a little worried about the Packers defense getting shredded for yards again. This isn't the top-3 defense from 2009, even though the DC and personnel are largely the same. In theory, the DBs have gotten better and while they gamble and get all kinds of INTs, they're not covering particularly well. The Giants took repeatedly advantage of Nicks height advantage today.

I'm a huge Packer fan, but I could totally see them pulling a 2007 Patriots this season. I'm worried they're going to put too much energy in going 16-0, then in the cold weather where their offense isn't quite the same, they could get beat up by a team that can run and keep Rodgers on the sidelines. If the defense doesn't get a turnover or two, it's a tough game for the Pack.

But they are 12-0, so it's hard to knock them, they're simply winning week after week.

At least today Tebow actually made some decent passes. Maybe he IS finally learning. :hmm:

The Pack just barely survived a defeat today. I'm very surprised that "Baby Eli" and his boys managed to give them so much trouble.

Someone finally told him to put his "stranger" to good use?

I love the Packers and I still like their chances to get back to the Super Bowl. The Saints are playing great, but will have to come back to Lambeau Field. I'm concerned that a bruising team like BAL or PITT might pull off a stunner if the Packers get back to the SB. The offense will be fine in cold weather and there are three solid RBs to fall back on.

But the Chargers nearly beat the Pack, and so did the Giants. You're absolutely right that pick-6s are preserving wins. It's a soft 12-0 record, rather than dominant in every game.

19-1 is infamous IMO, you do not want to join the 2007 Patriots in that club.

Yes, he made some good throws in the rally I watched at the end. I don't bother to watch Broncos games but from the "highlights", he's not going to hit any 50-yard bombs this month or next.

I'll take Tebow vs Rodgers in the big game.

fixed that stat for ya...

in that case, I won't have to. :\

Just last week Skip Bayless said Tebow is more clutch in the 2-minute drill than Rodgers is.

technically he is, Tebow already has like 5 or 6 4th quarter comebacks, Rodgers only has 4...for his entire career (heck, even rookie QB Andy Dalton already has 5). Granted, they simply haven't been trailing at all this season, and dating back through their Superbowl run through the playoffs, but its true, he simply really hasn't had to lead his team from behind to win a major game recently (whereas he kind of choked in overtime against the Cardinals in that shootout in the 09'10 playoffs with a fumble for a TD in overtime). That doesn't mean he couldn't do it, just that he hasn't had to. Whereas Tebow has already "proven" himself moreso in that regard. Granted, its not like Tebow has a game winning TD drive in the 4th quarter of the Superbowl like Ben or Eli have (not Brady, he only lead FG winning drives ) or any other game where the season was clearly on the line.

Rodgers hasn't been "clutch" because he hasn't needed to be, he's been too good for it. It would probably be a safe bet that he would be able to make the plays on drive if absolutely needed, but really its a question still to be answered should it ever arise. If the Packers can keep winning games by never trailing in the 4th quarter then that's fine, but if it comes up it might be a problem, it wouldn't be the first time an otherwise dominant player had a flaw.

Heck, if Tebow could play an entire game like he does in the last two minutes he'd be the best player in the history of all sports

 

[bunnyfubbles]

also, wasn't it 18-1? it would be impossible for a team to finish a season 19-1 with the 1 loss being the superbowl as its impossible for more than 2 teams in the same conference to finish the season 16-0 as each team will play all 4 teams from another division. (for instance while teh packers might go 16-0, the niners would have been able to go 16-0 as well as they do not play each other but they play all the members of their division plus all 4 members of a separate division within the conference) And thus it would be impossible for there to be a 16-0 team in the division round of the playoffs to go 19-0 before playing and losing in the Superbowl.

Really the only way to finish 19-1 would be to finish the regular season 15-1 and only make the divisional round missing the bye and then go 4-0 through the playoffs and Superbowl without a bye. (This would be possible with two 16-0 teams getting the bye and the 15-1 team being the winner of a 3rd division and having one head to head game loss with one of the 16-0 teams. Or perhaps two 15-1 teams within the same division where they split head to head games but won out the reset of their games and thus a tie break based on score differential would be most likely.) Although this latter scenario implies winning the Superbowl which means 19-1 wouldn't be a bad thing (albeit an extremely improbable scenario)

Yes, it was 18-1 and was perhaps the most hysterically comical event in sports history.

LOL Indy.

 

[Anubis]

i want GB to go 18-0 and then lose in the SB, it would be even better if they lost to the pats in the SB

 

[Sentrosi2121]

18-1 is just as good as 19-0 if that one loss is during the regular season. In the end you would have won the Super Bowl, and no one really looks at records of the Super Bowl champs. Quick, what was Green Bay's record going into the playoffs last year?

Woodson should seriously consider moving the safety next season or possibly retire. Getting those PI calls are one of the reasons why other teams are extending drives.

Bush needs to remember he's Jared Bush and make some plays instead of slipping on the field.

I want someone to shut up the 72 fins.

That was a fantastic game! too bad it was not a superbowl game.

i was pissed it wasnt Manning vs Manning that year. would have been EPIC.
