    Two teams, Colts and Broncos, can clinch this weekend.

    I wonder; When was the last time no team clinched by the conclusion of week 14? Seems like there is always at least one team that's got their division locked down by this time of year.

    I'm really hoping that Arizona wins the division to keep Seattle on the road, and keep San Fran out completely. The Cards are likely going to fade with all their issues, but here's hoping.

    A big game for the Cardinals this week Home to KC. Will they stop the bleeding?

    Not a lot of leverage in playoff implications this week except for Bye and Home Field.

    AZ did find a way to win today so you never know. Can they beat the Rams next week in St. Louis?

    We're all pretty disappointed in the defense last night, but it was a big one. Using ESPN's playoff machine, I could not find a scenario where the Packers not making the playoffs with one more win--even with two conference losses to Tampa Bay and Detroit. Winning one of the next two would guarantee the playoffs and guarantee that the final game is for the division, at worst.

    That Buffalo game looks like a tough sled on a short week.

    Fortunately, their QB is neckbeard the game manager but if the offense struggles against that physical Buffalo D, things could get ugly.

    We must find a way to win this week.

    It's a true test. A game to hopefully build back from.

    That mere 'W' last night Vs Atlanta needs to be redeemed.

    It'll be interesting to see how the Packers answer.

    I hope the coach and QB actually try hard this week. Maybe focus and stay on task. No more commercials or press conferences except those mandated by the League.

    No joking, no intimate relations, maybe lose some weight, get their eyes fixed and change their diet.

    No TV or video games. Come up with something creative both for a game plan and pre game speech so the team comes out fired up like when it wins and not lethargic like when it loses.

    This is not rocket science or organic chemistry. Just do your job and don't be dumb.

    I'm kinda sorta hoping for a game like the 2010 Jets game in which the Packer D won the game. I think the final score was 9-0. It was a game that made you realize that the defense could win you a game.

    Good lord the defense coasted to the win last night. Not worried at all. We will win out and be 13-3 and host all home games.
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

    They would have easily had that game against Detroit had the offensive effort not been one of the worst we've ever seen. That seems like ages ago now. Now this defense is on pace to give up more points than it did in 2011.
