Zona is the best team in the NFL right now.

Agreed, but don't dismiss the panthers. They will have a chip on their shoulders going forward.

The Vikings flat schooled the Giants last night.

C'mon Bengals! The time is now!

The Packers have another lackadaisical game, its so bad lifetime Packers fans are calling me during the game saying they are turning it off and they just wish this year would end. They're in the playoffs despite losing six of their last ten games and are fortunate to be playing the Redskins rather than the Seahawks, whom the Vikings get. Congrats to the Vikes for winning the North for the first time since '09. The Packers are in deep trouble.

Yep, even though the performance stats looked good on paper, better than the Viks anyway, they still came up short. They didn't look great, obviously, and may have a hard time with the Skins.

NE losing to Miami....wtf happened there ?

Broncos was a different team when Payton came in the game.

Yep wore my Dennys Green starter jacket and Viking Zubaz to work this morning just to silence the Packers Fans and all the trash talk I get from them, they are all pretty quite. I am glad we won the division, but the Seahawks look pretty good, we were predicted to maybe be a 8 win team but hey division champions yeah baby.

Better for the Vikings if they would have lost IMHO. Seattle has had their number for a long time and have always found a way to beat them wherever they play. Some kind of payback for giving them benchwarmer Bob back in the day when they came into the NFL.

The Packers beat themselves yesterday, and they have been doing that a lot lately. I think the 'skins take them down with ease.

and now we get to see if Peyton Manning has anything left in the tank.

Noosh: it's been painful for Packer fans to watch this crap. If the Skins take them down, there's gonna be calls for McCarthy and Ted Thompson's jobs. The lack of any depth on the offensive line (and defensive line) is glaring. The fact of the matter is the whole organization is strictly bottom line. Short term vision. They have a waiting list for season tickets longer than NWA's criminal rap sheet, so its may be back to the pre-Ron Wolf days pretty soon here unless they right the ship fast. After the melt-down at the end of the NFC championship game last year, a few got thrown under the bus. The Packers thought they would just walk into the Super Bowl this year. If Washington knocks them out in the first round, look out.

Mikey081057

Very few teams have depth.... It's the salary cap era.

NE has issues as well. Would not be surprised to see them booted.

dromunds

I hear you, but the Packers have significant room under the cap IIRC. I see there's an article on the internet today stating the Packers are the No. 1 disappointment in the NFL this year. Here you have arguably the best QB in the league, one of the best running backs, your coach wants to run the ball all the time, and you get cheap on the O-line. I compare our GM to Seattle's, who is active and proactive. Maybe the Packers' management and coaches are just so arrogant that nothing of real significance will change until they don't even make the playoffs.....

Pats walking on thin ice, not sure how far they'll go. Last quarter has been horrendous. Seattle looks HOT, might be able to run the table. Can't believe what they did to the Cards! Panthers while good, will be interesting to see against a team like the Seahawks if they remain hot!

Not many teams are peaking at this point. And that WILL be a factor in the playoffs. You can throw the records out the window. Whoever peaks will go to #50! And that could be Seattle and Pitt? Or K.C.? I honestly do not think that top two seeds: Denver or the Pats will be left standing in the last weeks! Panthers have the best shot of being there, Cards may fade. I think we're in for some surprises.

[Everything below this point is B.S. and need not be attended to...I like to ramble especially when I'm tired from classwork. My apologies or enjoy, either way!]

But, I could also be deluded (should that be in italics, quotes or boldface? Hmmmm...think I'll walk down the hall and check with Cedric in English, whose students come to me in tears (and I console them) because he bleeds all over their essays in red ink, even though Cedric has never written an interesting piece of fiction or poetry?) Alas the rules, even great writers have editors who clean up their English or suggest alternative phrasings-and most of them were English majors!

I had a professor in Graduate School (a very famous one, they tell me?). He was an African-American from Alabama who spoke with an Oxford English accent even though he grew up in the south and went to school in the U.S. Now, why do you think "he" carried himself in such a manner, so overly formal and British? The mystique of proper diction is a form of power and prestige, some are more concerned with their image than others, it seems!

I am happy to see Seattle going to Minnesota vs. Washington. Redskins vs Packers will be a fun game.

Come on John you don't actually think Zimmer would of even considered that do you? Winning against the Pack and winning the division was all that was on thier minds and the majority of the fans minds. We host a game at home against a very good and scary Seahawks team, I doubt the Vikings would want it any other way.

I gave the Packers fans at work a double shocker when I showed up in my very best Vikings attire, after listening to them yap all year, I actually believe most of them think that this year's NFC championship game will be a repeat of last year go Vikings.


I still wish the Packers luck against the Redskins!

Like most big games, it will come down to turnovers and clock control.

Polkie2009

Pulling for the Vikings over the seahawks, btw, nice coat there Steve! Our Texans have played better since having a horrible first half of the season. KC is on a roll , should be a heck of a game here next Sat. at NRG.

Mikey081057

I don't have a dog in the fight so may the best team win...Seattle looked really good yesterday

jeremymarcinko

Looks like Chiefs have their hands full.

Mikey081057

I don't get this defer the opening kickoff thing... why would you want to give anybody's offense potentially one more possession than you get? I know the stock answer is our defense is our best unit... but do you really need to tell your offense they suck?

Andy Reid has now coached in the NFC and the AFC... I think he does his best work in the KFC.

ken brydson

I sure don't care what he thinks, LOL...

jeremymarcinko

Good luck to the Cards!

WOW 7-6 at the half Zona.... whodathunkit?

cnh

Chiefs were not ready for Prime Time against a Pat team that is STILL not what it was and is not yet ready for the AFC championship game?

Someone has to tell Aaron Rodgers that there are a lot of experts out there who keep telling us that Arizona is the most balanced team in the NFC? lol Still early, but a weak game against Seattle and now a Packer team that is leading? Doesn't bode well for the Championship game next week should 'Zona eek this one out!

vmaxer

What a game...

gce

WOW!!!!

jeremymarcinko

Dang!
