Story is Toronto was the preferred destination but not in the running because of passport issues, and not enough time to sort them out. How stupid is that, really. A driver's license or birth certificate was enough to cross the border for a long time.

[Freak Out]

You do not need a passport to travel to Canada as a legal USA resident.

[Guiness]

They're breaking open the Schlitz in Detroit tonight, the only 0-16 season ever is safe.

Is that the case? I'm pretty sure Canadians need a one to go to the US. There is something about a 'enhanced' DL listed on the Canadian site, but the US gov site says passport only, even by land. Looks like there are a few other options for Americans heading in the other direction.

[mraynrand]

borders are a thing of the past. I didn't even think they existed anymore.

Detroit fans seem prepared for a loss, but are looking for a close game and some indication there is, indeed, an offense. Caldwell trying to conjure up the ghosts of Baltimore's recent SB season - sluggish offense most of the year, hot at the end.

I travel to Canada pretty regularly (6-8 times/year) and I can tell you that you do need a Passport these days.

[pbmax]

For a time, I know you needed one to get back into the US. Which was odd because you could leave FOR Canada with just a drivers license.

That article sums up the difference between Green Bay and Buffalo:

Football now a secondary issue in south part of Buffalo. People concerned about getting food, collapsing roofs, life-threatening issues.

Would a little snow ever push the Packers off the top of the concern list? I don't think so.

[MadScientist]

Raiders beat the Chiefs, at the same time it was raining in California. Field reporters are now checking up on possible mass occurrences of dogs and cats living together. Also, hell freezing over is being investigated, with current conditions in Wisconsin suggesting that it has.

Time to bet the Cubs in the World Series?

4 to 6 feet of snow in 2 days would test every city. Buffalo gets more snow than almost every other Great Lake city. Hard to shovel out the bowl if there is a travel ban :lol:

There used to be an agreement between the US and Canada for people traveling to AK that exempted AK residents from most ID requirements. That has since changed...I think in 2009? I use a passport whenever I travel but I think Sates with "Enhanced Drivers Licenses" and other EC type IDs will work as well as a passport.

I think would should just annex western Canada and solve the problem once and for all.

Falcons have the lead. Jim Caldwell has rendered the Lions Offense inert.

[pbmax]

Holy crap, Browns kicked game winning FG to beat Falcons.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Thanks NE for beating Detroit. Gives the Pack a game lead in the division.

[pbmax]

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora 17m17 minutes ago
Philip Rivers just threw a 100-yard pick 6.

The Chargers are the Lions of the AFC West.

[pbmax]

Falcons 0-7 outside their division.

So long Mike Smith.

Miami game still might be signature win of season. Dolphins up 10 on Broncos in Florida.

Signature win was Philly. Philly has scored 45 and 43 points in the weeks before and after they were plastered by the Packers. Philly is very good. Their other 2 losses were close games at San Francisco and at Arizona.

Game's in Denver.

[pbmax]

Game's in Denver.

Even more impressive. I saw the rain and assumed a Miami shower.

Broncos pulled it out in the second half barely.

[Striker]

That catch by Beckham.

Wow.

[woodbuck27]

That catch by Beckham.

Wow.

I'll bet anything that's the Play Of The Year. That catch was 'just' awesome.

The catch of 2014:

[Fritz]

While the Lions' fans pretty much expected the team to lose to NE, they are now mightily, mightily steamed about the (lack of) offense. They haven't scored a TD in two games now, and Stafford looks like the same ol', same ol'.

Calvin Johnson had a drop or two again today. That's the big hole in his game. As injured as he's been, I believe I'd take Jordy over him right about now.

Remember, though, that the Lions play the next three at home, against Chicago, Tampa Bay, and Minny. There's a good chance that by this time next week the Leos will be back on top of the division, having won the first head-to-head with the Pack.

Detroit is going to lose on Thursday... Good Cutler is going to show up.

waidaseccond....so you are telling us there is a 'good' Cutler? how interesting.

[smuggler]

Odell Beckham has clownlike size and japlike dexterity with those hands.

[mraynrand]

I'm surprised that a Defense and O-line as dominant as Dallas' had such problems with a division rival on the road. Good teams don't struggle on the road.

[smuggler]

Miami is a top 10 team. Probably won't make the playoffs...

[Maxie the Taxi]

Great game Monday night. Baltimore at New Orleans. 12:06 to go in 1st qtr. Already lots of action.

Watching it here too. Ravens kept NO out of the endzone after a 1st and goal. Steve Smith is putting on a clinic.

[Joemailman]

Bills leading Jets 38-3 in the Snow Bowl Game. Buh-bye Rex. Hello Jameis Winston.

[woodbuck27]

The Saints just want Steve Smith to retire.

That man is one gritty WR.

I've been paying attention to the Jets @ Bills errrrr..... game. Bills 38 - Jets 3.

Michael Vick was horrid. He was sacked at least 3 times and picked once and generally useless.

Rex Ryan had Geno Smith back in at QB and he was a tad better. The play calling was sad. I'm thinking that Rex Ryan may be gone at seasons end.

[woodbuck27]

Somehow the Saints get out of the first half leading 17-14.

[mraynrand]

I'm thinking that Rex Ryan may be gone at seasons end.

he's always had one foot out the door.

[Tyrion Lannister]

Next Packers defensive coordinator: Rex Ryan. :)

[George Cumby]

Next Packers defensive coordinator: Rex Ryan. :)

Only if he brings his wife and her hot feet with him.

[Joemailman]

Only if the Packers miss the playoffs. Otherwise, someone will hire him while the Packers are still playing.

Remember D'mond Parker and his hot feet?

Seems like the 'rabona' kick from soccer has found its way into the NFL...

He still has to work a little on his technique, though.

Maybe the Saints will hire him to take his brother's spot.

The Dolphins kicker apparently saw it at a college game where it was successful...

Isn't that a tripping penalty?
