Yeah I've heard the same pros and cons, and to be honest, I look at other clubs and they've got far bigger form issues, injuries and gaping holes. I'm going on the very popular thought that at Lambeau, GB are a cut above anyone in the league. Pats were the best side in the comp, and I don't even know how they stayed in it as long as they did. The issue was, and is, that the only way GB miss home field advantage is if they drop a couple in these last few weeks. Pats and Lions are the only hope there, and one is done. After that Seattle is a game behind them, Philly will lose one or both of Seattle/Dallas, and Arizona's year was lost weeks ago when Palmer went out, they just don't know it yet. GB has the equal best record now, won't lose another game as far as I see it, and has all the important tie breakers even if it does. Going on that, I can't see any side knocking them off at home. There just isn't time left for massive changes in their side due to injury. Rodgers is that good.

Can't see anyone knocking off the Pack as of today. Some stuff has to change if anyone's gonna knock them off in their own dungheap.

Oh wooooooow.... Penalty against Bucks takes them out of field goal range.

I watched the Bears last two weeks, and they didn't even look like they wanted to win. There's something wrong in their locker room. I also reckon Dallas will be angry. And we all know what Dez is like when he's angry. I can't see Dallas losing. Doesn't mean I hope you're wrong though. lol Seahawks will tell everyone a whole lot about both teams. In a season, a teams stats can spike at times. Eagles for example have great defensive games, like against Cowboys and Giants. And the woeful defensive games like against GB. But there are stats that they just don't fail on. Run D is one. They've been more consistent there than in any other stat, pretty much. Now, what's it gonna be like against the best rushing team? Can they slow Lynch down like they did Murray? If they do, will Wilson expose them? If they CAN slow down one, or both, how will the corners do, given Wilson will start pushing how downfield throws? Fascinating. Thanksgiving was just an out and out smash them in the face game. Seahawks though is a playoff preview. Yeah 2 games clear, at this stage of the season, with the Division record basically already in Eagles' hands.... That would be it.

Here's how I see it unfolding, and perhaps how most Eagles people see it unfolding... They needed to beat Cowboys on their own dungheap because, let's say Eagles lose to Seattle and Cowboys on the rematch. And let's say Cowboys smash Bears, which they should, and beat Eagles as already mentioned. Then you'll find Eagles, a game behind but with better division record. Cowboys will have to beat both Indi and Washington. Eagles will likely beat both Giants and Washington... so it really puts them in box seat. Win against either Seattle or Cowboys and Eagles are pretty much in I reckon.

Defense held up well all game, really. Gave up one big play and TD at the start, then a FG after a turnover in second half... Other than that Romo just kept going backwards. Most unusual. No way it'll be that easy in two weeks.

NFL
Jeez 49ers what's going on?
-
NFL
Wowee.... What a game by the Eagles. Romo kept to -0.14... First game in 38 he didn't throw a TD. Eagles won in every phase, in every unit... especially both OL and DL vs their lines.... CBs did a good job. One on ones... Pretty much couldn't ask for more. 2 weeks ago they're in hell in Lambeau... Hellbeau... Now they've announced themselves as a serious team.

Eagles will take him. Even like this still better than Foles and Sanchez. lol In all seriousness, I think he'll stay.

NFL
In their defense.... 8 games in a year there? I'd take that... I remember randomly going to a Dolphins Browns game and seeing a bunch of yanks watching the game on their portable TV that was GIVEN to them as part of their membership. Wow. We get a plastic card and a lanyard.

Yeah can't go past those three. Cincy, Cards and Phins.

Yeah. I think the fact Rodgers hasn't thrown a pick at Lambeau since 2012 is a big factor. Eagles rely on their returned TDs and special teams. Also Luck killed us with his hard counts, so that's a big one too. But yes, basically it's gonna be an awesome game. Simple as that. Noone in their right mind would bet on it, you just can't with two quality sides.

NFL
It's awesome. And the best slew of games haven't even started yet. A couple of weeks ago Dallas vs Eagles was looking like the big time NFC East finisher. But if Eagles can somehow do the impossible and beat Rodgers at Lambeau, then that would be considered their best win of the regular season and would place them as basically a playoff team, looking at their schedule.

Ok. Gonna go early again this week. Broncos, Steelers and 49ers.

You never know though with Arizona... Going by my VERY scientific ladder predictor the wild card spots in the NFC will be the toughest, with Dallas, Seattle and Detroit fighting it out. Actually in the standings right now, to think that Seattle, Green Bay and Dallas are the big three possibilities.... they're actually the teams I'm more frightened of than ANY in the NFC. Weird eh. It's a high pressure environment. Unlike the AFC/VFL. The Browns making it. Would be fantastic. For the League. Never see the much hater, formerly unstoppable team climb the ladder in the AFL though do we? Foles' time? In my mind I think yes. And Sanchize might not be at Eagles either next year. The only thing left for Foles is to maybe play some time in playoffs. He really just isn't that good. Sooner or later he's gotta go. However my heart tells me they might have a terrible 2015/16 with him on the list. Some of Kelly's picks haven't worked out, and the list is getting super ancient. Most of the starting OL is 30+. Corners will be gone. Only got one Linebacker of note. When he does screw up, they'll get an early pick and parlay that into Kelly's 10 year QB. Be it a trade for Newton/Marriotta or whatever. Did they flex it to there? I was hoping for the 12:30 game like today. Was awesome. Watched the game at my mate's cafe on the big TV, he's a cowboys fan. Wearing my Vick jersey. Special day. Yeah it's freaking massive. Game of the week. Or would be if it wasn't for Brady v Luck. Actually all late games are enormous.

NFL
Yeah killed them. Pretty ugly game by Newton. RBs were bad, secondary gave up plays everywhere, couldn't get to Sanchez enough, OL was probably the worst single game I've seen this year with Philly's ok DL and ok LB corps getting 9 sacks. 5 turnovers. No take aways. You basically couldn't find anything to like besides Benjamin who is an absolutely monstrously proportioned bloke. If he was quicker people would be predicting him to be better than Megatron.
