The Official Week 13 Other Games Thread

[ThunderDan]

Does GB's loss at MN in week 2 look that bad now?

[yetisnowman]

Was about to start this thread, before I saw yours.
Cowboys did their job tonight. Now we become Saints fans this Sunday. There is a reasonable chance we could be even with Minnesota, and one back of Detroit after this weekend. That's a manageable position, especially with games against both teams remaining. Obviously nothing matters if we don't keep winning. But it will sure be some exciting and agonizing football down the stretch.

They had one week of film on the new offense and held them to 17 points.

The offense should have done better but it had yet to pull its collective head our of its collected backside.

Loss on the road to a good team playing well is no shame. They have since been beat up.

EDIT: allow me to pull my own head out of my own backside and say I only knew the Boys had won. Did not know it was that low scoring and close.

[Pugger]

I'm no fan of MN but they got screwed during that 2 point conversion. Dallas showed they can be beat on by a decent defense.

[Radagast]

While pleased that the Vikings lost to Dallas, I'd be more pleased to see a GB Defense feared by the leagues other teams. Injuries of course need to be taken into the account of the 2016 Packers, yet can it be said that a healthy 2016 Packers Defense was an improvement on the 2015 version ?

My point is not a popular one. Change the authority that chooses the players. Change the GM before the Packers really do fall below the 8-8 level. Change the GM while Aaron Rodgers is still in his prime.

thought dallas was going to blow it.

How bad has Kaepernick become? He gets benched for Blaine Gabbert - against the Bears.

Good. Now if that anti american thug POS could get mugged and stabbed in the guts and die a slow painful death, all would be good.

How bad has Kaepernick become? He gets benched for Blaine Gabbert - against the Bears.

Just last week Kap threw for 296 yards and 3 TDs, plus he rushed for 113 yards. Great numbers, in real life and in fantasy football. Got "benched" on a cold, snowy day, and suddenly he's Brooks Bollinger-awful?

If anything, the Bears game is proof that you can get out of the ghetto and also take the ghetto out of you as well. Kap was born in Milwaukee, a city of cold, dull and dark Wisconsin. If the ghetto was still in him, Kap woulda brushed aside the snow and wrecked da Bears.

Keep fighting the good fight, Kap!

Seems like everybody thinks the Packers only chance at the playoffs is to win the division. Yet if Washington loses today at Arizona, and Tampa Bay loses at San Diego, Packers are half a game out of a wild card spot.

He actually had started to play well. People were writing he has to come back to San Fran.

Big step back this week.

Earl Thomas broken leg.

[pbmax]

Wow.

[Joemailman]

If Dallas wasn't the clear-cut favorite in the NFC before, they are now. Huge loss for Seattle.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Don't have to worry about Carolina, that's for sure.

[Fritz]

I don't see how the Packers are going to be able to contain Russell Wilson. I see him rushing for 140 yards or something.
