Packers bye week Other games thread - week 9

Giants could be back in the hunt if Romo/Foles have to miss significant time.

Could have two 8-8ish division winners with the East and South.

Oh shit, you're right. Fuck the Giants.

Den-NE looking like its gonna be a classic.

Yes. Classic Patriots blowing out Manning.

Something had to give because the Broncos pre-Manning usually upset the Patriots.

Forget York or Baalke, the Rams are going to drive Harbaugh to Michigan.

[channtheman]

9er's just blew it at home against the Rams. Nearly 1 minute from the 2 or 3 yard line to score a TD and win the game and Kap fumbles with on a QB sneak attempt.

P-Mann's setting things up for an epic comeback.

I would be all for it.

That loss could be the dagger in the 49ers playoff hopes. They've got a rough schedule in their next 8 and need to win probably at least 6 of those games to make the playoffs.

Nonetheless, weird world we live in. The Rams did something the Pack haven't done in like 2 million years: Beat the 69ners and Gulls...with a 3rd string QB.

I think Aldon Smith comes back for the back half but I agree... that's going to be a tough sled there.

I always enjoy Manning getting destroyed at this point in his career. Reminds me of a certain other player I always rooted against as he tried to extend his career.

That Miami win in Miami looks better every week.

Come on PB, everyone here knows the Packers can't win games in hostile environments against physical defenses.

[denverYooper]

Patriots with huge bend but don't break today... gave up a lot of yards and first downs but only 21 points.

Broncos are like the Packers: live by the sword, die by the sword.

He does, but the struggles for the Seahawks and 49ers are on the offensive side of the ball right now.

Goes back to a conversation my dad and brother were having today. You need a great defense and good special teams even moreso than an elite QB. For as good as A-rod is (he's the difference between us being 6-10 and 10-6/11-5), we won't win another Super Bowl until our defensive and ST issues are fixed. Every time we've played the 49er's, Kaepernick looks unstoppable. Seattle did whatever they wanted to do to us this year.

That actually hurts to read.
