This morning I was thinking if the Packers lost today and the Lions won, that they should keep Rodgers benched the rest of the season. Packers end up finding a way to win and the Lions couldn't stop the running floodgates of the Eagles and now I look at the schedule and think the Packers can probably win the division. Crazy day.

Patriots didn't really deserve that win, and the ending to the Minnesota-Baltimore game was just insane!

Oh yeah, no doubt, but still, a crappy call is a crappy call.

I actually really like the Pats. They are kind of the team I cheer for when my Vikes are out of it. I love Belichick.

It's not a crappy call if every analyst is immediately saying it was a BS call, then it's simply a BS lets give them the game call.

What? I said it was a crappy call. No idea what you are on about.

Anyway. Let's go Seahawks!

Wow, record 64 yard FG in Denver (of course).

There was contact but it was tickey-tacky at best, I wouldn't blame the Browns fans for being upset. You have to look at the other side of the coin though, the Pat's have been on the receiving end of two horrible, game-changing calls this season as well. I'd much rather have them lost the game then to lose Gronk and after watching the smash his knee took I figure he won't be back this year.

But those lower leg injuries are for player safety, Goodell said so.

Personal foul on Pollard? lmao. Decker just had the wind knocked out of him on a legal hit.

I think if they were to review it they'd see it was a shoulder, but at full speed it definitely looked like a lead with the helmet. I think they also protect defenseless receivers because they can't brace themselves.

That is ridiculous. If they're going to make playing defense so hard then they should start reviewing these awful personal foul calls getting made on DBs.

"Mike Pereira ‏@MikePereira 50s
Regarding your tweets, in the SF game, it shouldn't have been forward progress & Crabtree wasn't down"

yeah 49'ers got lucky w/ that one

If gronk done for the year so are the cheatriots.

Patriots are 5-1 without Gronk, so hold your horses. As a Jets fan you should be more worried about your disaster of a quarterback and abortion of a season.

I am not liking how much influence refs have on games now.

That's been true for a while though. It's the worst part of the game unfortunately and I don't see it going anywhere. Too much room for human error and subjectivity.

I think some of these rules regarding how you're allowed to hit make it even worse though. These plays are happening at insane speeds that are likely impossible to always get right. So what do they do? Meh... it looks bad... sounded bad... that guy looks like he might be hurting... better throw a flag!

Really think Seahawks should be feeding Lynch the ball more on 3rd and short

And look at the fouls last week for touching the neck of a qb. OK..then I'm going to take out some knees.

Then the reviews that are blown. How do you blow a review?
