2011-12 NFL Season

Schaub's foot injury, plus AFC Playoff threats looking shaky recently, has me thinking it will be a huge surprise if the Steelers/Patriots don't win the Super Bowl.

Do you mean get to the Super Bowl? The Packers are clearly the best team in football RIGHT NOW.

Also IMO, the Ravens are still are a very dangerous threat in the AFC.

However, the one thing that this Schaub injury does IMO, is make the East winner and the North winner the prohibitive favorites to secure the two coveted first round byes.

You know what about the Lions? They have become quite the catty bunch as of late with there trash talking and penalties as of late.

My mistake- I meant the AFC.

How so ?

Every team has a down week from time to time.

Matthew Stafford played yesterday's game with a fractured finger on his throwing hand according to ESPN.

Thats why he wore the glove all day from what reports had said after the game.
Obviously FOX didn't know anything about the Fractured Finger as they never mentioned it.

However, if he had trouble they should have pulled him early when he wasn't sharp and put in Hill, they then coiuld have at least had a chance.

Intersesting, as expected, no one mentioned anything about the Angels that the Bears were ... NOT.

Now other teams are starting sh8t to get the Lions started .... it's backfiring on them currently as the officials are flagging the Lions regardless.

I agree.

Really Jimbo????

The Dirty Cats need no one to get them started, they do a good job themselves.....

I was hoping they at least made the flight.

Anyone think the Packers have a realistic shot at going undefeated this year?

They dont play the Broncos so yes. At least until post season.

So you didn't watch the game ?

 

[Mr Tony]

ESPN makes it sound like they will. DId you see the commercials for the last couple days?

"As the defending champs march on to perfection"...good lord their only 8-0. Its not like thy are 14-0 and have 2 cupcakes left

Yes, IF they get by the Lions Twice.

That doesn't happen often.

I haven't seen the commercial yet, but I agree, were only half way ....
I remember awhile back when it was common for a team to win thier first 7-8-9 games, then lose one, you can't always be at the top of your game over 16 weeks.

 

[mccoyrj]

I think they go down too. The hard part is guessing to who it will be?

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

They already played the Kyle Orton led Broncos & defeated them earlier in the season.

 

[Jimbo]

Thier remaining schedule has a few games that could be quite interesting for them.

11 Sun, Nov 20 vs Tampa Bay

12 Thu, Nov 24 @ Detroit

13 Sun, Dec 4 @ NY Giants

14 Sun, Dec 11 vs Oakland IF McFadden is back

15 Sun, Dec 18 @ KC

16 Sun, Dec 25 vs Chicago

17 Sun, Jan 1 vs Detroit

Potential losses in BOLD
No, I'm not saying they will lose 5 games, I'm saying they could lose at ANY of them.

 

[mccoyrj]

Think they could've given Rodgers a little more time on that last play?
