NFL Week #15

If the Falcons play like they did against the Jags (yeah I know, its the Jags) then they can give anyone a run. Next Monday night proves to be very interesting. Big rivalry and both teams can put up a lot of fireworks.
I am concerned about the Packers O-line. Not pretty seeing Rodgers getting chased around alot and picking himself off the ground, so often.
....yeah, the bolded part, very very important.
No overtime this game. 10 point or more home win. Saints seal the NFC South, convincingly.
Tamba Hali looked like he was living in Rodgers back pocket yesterday. I wonder how much of that was the O-line and how much was just Hali being HALI...
I would definitely not consider the Packers "weakened" right now, at least not seriously so - if they show up and play their "A" game, they're darn near unbeatable.
...darn near...

I have a feeling he won't play. Or at least he won't start. Nothing official has been released.
Still haven't heard, but it's a big deal to us Saints fans - we really would appreciate a big game out of the Steelers to put the 49ers in the #3 slot, where they belong.

How I read your post was.....wow, GB looked bad in losing to KC. But the NO losses were no big deal, those things happen. Maybe I misunderstood what you meant, but that's the folly of message boards. Either way, you're the spin doctor-est of TBOT spin doctors.
I believe NE or Baltimore could beat either GB or NO when all teams show up playing their A games.

I meant no disrespect to Green Bay at all...it was an "Any Given Sunday" thing, absolutely.
As for NE or Baltimore beating either GB or NOLA if those teams bring their "A" games...you're higher'n a kite.
Call me a "spin doctor" all you like, but neither team is complete enough to compete - NE's defense is so bad, they're OFFENSIVE; Baltimore's offense can be shut down by taking Ray Rice out of the game plan, and did you see Phillip Rivers light up their secondary last night? If Rivers, who has become a turnover machine this season, can do that to 'em, imagine was Rodgers or Brees will do to 'em.Now, WILL that happen? Unknown, both NOLA and GB have sleep walked through at least one game this season, and gotten beaten because of it.
"Any Given Sunday".
You're all good bro. It's the Gard I remember from seasons past.
Brady is right there with your boy and with Rodgers. If any game is close, he can find a way to win. The NE secondary is weak, I'm with you there. But you don't need to play great defense to beat GB or NO, just outscore them and NE can.
Baltimore can shut you down and win 9-3. Flacco is probably another year away from joining Ben, Drew, Aaron, and Tom in the elite class, but they don't need to score 35 to win with that defense.

I think the Falcons are quietly getting Mr. Rice back into the mix. If they become a more balanced team, then they can absolutely make some noise. The Jags, despite their record, have a top 10 defense this year in nearly every category. That game wasn't a "gimme". They make you work for it.

Expect the Falcons D to shut down the running game and put up almost 500 yards like last time but come out with the W.

Go San Francisco!!!! Maybe Mike Singletary will be asked to give a pep talk!
I don't think he's allowed within 300 feet of any Niner's property, locker rooms, or play fields.
Harbaugh might shake his hand with a little too much gusto!
Oi! The Iggles still have Vic and Young is still his back-up right? JusWrong Jackson is still the WR1? I dunno man, I'd temper that optimism ;D My dad would kill me if he read that hahah!

Well, Merrill Hodge agrees with you. Not that I put much credence in his opinions.
