Undefeated

[Blakbird24]

What I can't believe is that despite the times we live in, and how human nature should be blatantly obvious by now (that is, if you are over the age of 20, at least), I still see people virtually crying "HERECY!!" when someone mentions the possibility that an NFL game's outcome may have not been totally left to chance.

In other words, if you really think that the NFL is clean, and game outcomes are not at least somewhat influenced in some less-than-legit ways, then you really need to venture out from under your rock and take a stroll in what we call REALITY. There is far too much money to be made in the NFL for that avenue to remain untapped for so long. I promise you it happens. I certainly won't venture to say that game outcomes are flat-out predetermined...that would be too risky. But there are many other ways to get it done, and as I alluded to before, with that amount of money at stake, alot of creativity tends to materialize.

Despite the blatant obviousness of my claims, I will inevitably trigger some "DON'T TALK SO CRAZY!!" type responses...I always do.

don't talk so crazy.......

No, the Saints just lost because they're horribly inconsistent. And I'm having a hard time thinking you could get most of the key players on the Packers on board to throw a game.

Ya don't need em all.
Just a few plays here and there.

Why would you need any players to know anything? That would be too risky...an OC or DC would be all that's needed.

Yes that could do it also.
My point is that it would be super foolish to believe this doesn't go on.
Specially in perceived one sided games.

Eitherway the Packers played like they normally do except for the the passing. Aaron wasn't throwing well at the beginning which happens every couple of games, then after that the receivers weren't catching well and there route timing was being thrown off. The Packers Defense and special teams played like they normally do except we did not get any turnovers. They allowed well over 300 yards like they normally do but make stops in the red zone like they normally do. The only thing the Packers did differently this game was the passing game just wasn't there.

Some of the Refs calls were a little strange. Those two offensive pass intereference calls on Nelson when he barley touched the other guys finger tips. The fumble that KC had at the one that should have been a touchback but they said the payer was out of bounce. And the onside kick the Packers did that clearly went 10 yards but the refs called illegal touching because the ball did not go 10 yards. Doesn't matter now, the game is done time to move on and hopefully win atleast 1 more game this regular season.

I wouldn't say that I feel like the Packers game was questionable...this is exactly what generally happens this late in an undefeated season. There is a reason why only one team in the history of football has ever managed an undefeated season...it's damn hard...and it doesn't get any easier as the years go by and the game continues to elevate. Whenever this happens, it's always a huge underdog too...which to me is a clear result of the favorite having too much confidence.

Packers fans should be thankful for this...this game may be the push that gets Green Bay in the super bowl again. Before this I had my money solidly against them making it. Now i'm not as confident. I'll have to see how they approach the next few games before I make a call again. I'm still thinking the 49er's can take them in the Conference round.

The niners and the pack will be a shootout game for sure. I think that has been in the back of everybody's mind for a while now. It has in mine at least. Packers are gonna have home field advantage. I have been getting a lot of crap lately form various people about the Pack. You are sore, you are frustrated, blah, blah. My response? Oh, I am soo dissapointed in a 13-1 record. Really? This is payback for being loyal during all the Favre years.

the 9ers will get their ass' handed to them.....no way they can score enough points on the packers. Their D is a run stopping machine....unfortunately the Packers throw the ball....a lot. If that game happens, and it won't, my prediction is Pack 38 niners 20

Ha...i'm still thinking the Packers won't even be there. If they are, I bet on San Fran giving them one hell of a scare, if not pulling it out by a field goal. GB has been in some very close games vs. some very not great teams. Can't do that in the playoffs. I'm thinking GB is in for one huge upset in the divisional round. Though this loss, and the fact that they should re-think their end-of-season strategy as a result, may save them from that fate.
