This season seems to be even more plagued with really bad injuries. Whenever I see that NFL commercial with everyone doing the Julio Jones dance, I cringe because he won't be doing that dance anytime soon.
Also two coaches also currently out due to illness. Yeesh.
I've wondered about that. It sure seems to me like the Pack has suffered a ton of injuries this year, but it seems like that every year. I'm sure some of it is just that I watch ever Packers game, and getting beat up is a fact of life in the NFL season. There have to be some metrics about number of weeks missed per team per year though, but I haven't seen any. Would be curious to know if this year really is abnormal or just I'm noticing more.
It'd be nice if the Dolphins didn't blow it. Came extremely close to beating a good team and taking sole possession of the last playoff spot. Instead, they created the 6-team 5-6 army, ensuring that some AFC team with a shitty record is bound to sneak into the playoffs this year. My bets are on the Steelers, cause holy shit that schedule is cake.
Finally Matt Flynn making all that money both Seattle & Green Bay have given him. I didn't watch the game, but I heard about it. I'm happy the Cowboys didn't win. There has been so much speculation of Rodgers getting back in time for the playoffs. That would be a fun situation.
Also happy that the Saints and Patriots lost today. Too bad the 49ers didn't. One more win and Seahawks will clinch home field advantage in the playoffs. It's will be so much fun to watch.
I feel bad for Arizona because I feel they should at least make the playoffs, but it seems highly unlikely. They have better record of 9-5 compared to other teams that are currently in the wildcard round and probably won't make it unless the 49ers lose against Atlanta at home and lose to the Cardinals in Arizona.
Overall the NFC West seems to be the most solid division this year. Also I Russell Wilson.
Nice comeback. Best of luck against the 49ers. I honestly hope the Packers beat the ever living snot out of them. Please sack Kaepernick 5+ times. Their defense will be tough.
Also: HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE WITH THE #1 SEED! GO HAWKS!
Imagine football as a CCG where each player is a card. Each card is unique and changes over time. The coach is the player. If you own a team and want to win, but currently suck, not much you can do but change the coach.
Someone should make a site which reads data from fantasy football and converts it into a high fantasy setting for the nerds who "hate" sports. It's the exact same system underneath but with different flavor text.
Definitely had that conversation from the other end, of dudes being like "this can't be nerdy, it's football!" and I'm like "bro you're playing a pretend game with numbers, you're practically an elf wizard."

Home field playoff advantage is looking better and better.
NEVER FORGET.
I'm ok with that loss because now the Seahawks have the best record and I am so pumped for Monday Night Football next week when we host the Saints.
Also Cowboys defense is so sad.
Return of the SeaHulk:
Ha! Playoff hopes still alive! The Romo show put on a epic performance today.

BREAKDANCE!
Also @Starfox , I think you'll enjoy this:
Also, I love our defense. I love watching them. Also our special teams. Lockette. DAMN, SON.
And now Schiano of the Buccaneers. That whole crap with Freeman earlier in the year was a bit messed up.
Wow.
Much sack.
A digital CCG where every single card is unique....
Hmmmmmm.......
