Clay Matthews and Eddie Lacy both left the Packers game (along with lesser known, Mike Neal). Two huge playmakers, and they both looked like they could have possibly reaggravated previous injury (Clay: thumb, Eddie: ankle).

Another bit of news - Rex Ryan told the team that "word on the street is" he is getting fired. He's never been head coach material, in my opinion.

You were probably hoping they would keep him around a few more seasons.

You have more class than me. I love seeing rivals fail.

But wouldn't you rather watch a nail-biter game than a blowout? Most of the Pats game this year have been close, and that makes it fun to watch. Today's game against the Ravens was just a comedy. I appreciate the win, but it wasn't good football.

Eagles are off to a good start.

As long as the Packers win, yes. However, at the point the Packers are at right now, I'd be more than happy with a blowout. Close games are much more memorable, though. I can't remember that many games from 2011 when the Packers were blowing everyone out. This season will remain in my mind for a long time, though.

I understand that - I guess it helps that my Patriots are 11-4.

Let's face it - we've both been spoiled beyond belief over the past decade or so.

Since 1996, the Packers and Patriots have 5 Super Bowl titles, and 9 Super Bowl appearances. Patriots have 3 SB wins, and 3 losses. Packers have 2 Super Bowl wins and 1 loss.

Question: do the pick'ems continue into the playoffs?

Here is a breakdown of the flexed games for next week. Philly and Dallas will be in primetime (Dallas' third straight season with a do-or-die, primetime game in Week 17), and there are a few other games flexed to the afternoon.

The Bears just were going for a fake onside kick, and right before Gould went to kick it, the ball fell off the tee.

Nope, regular season only
But there is a playoff version of the game I believe, just a whole seperate group would have to be made and we'd all have to rejoin.
