Conner got hurt on the 2nd to last play, got himself back to the LOS for the snap, and Arizona doesn't fucking spike it?

The great mighty loaded NFC doesn't really seem that much better than the pathetic weak AFC to me.

Some really poor situational play. Arizona also was really poor in the end of the game against the Packers a few weeks ago too.

If things ended right now, Brady would be going into Lambeau to beat Rodgers in the NFCCG again.

I'd truly enjoy that.

Really? I think AZ/GB/TB/Rams are better than anyone in the AFC.
Why? They have all beat up on weak competition just like everyone else. I think everyone secretly sucks. As a NEP or KC or BUF fan, are you going to bed tonight terrified of either one of these two teams? Concerned, sure. But everyone is beatable this year.

The Rams got spanked at home a few weeks back by the Derrick Henryless Titans. Then they go into Arizona and beat up the Cardinals, who spanked the Titans in their opener. The Bucs lost back to back games to the Saints and WFT. The Packers recently lost to the Chiefs and the Vikings, which were really their only let downs since week 1 when the Saints crushed them.

It's the NFL, it's any given Sunday. One week, a team looks great, and the next week, they look like shit, but there is only one team in the NFL with 7 consecutive wins (by an average of over 20 points) and none of them are in the NFC. I'm not saying the Pats (or the Chiefs) are better than those four teams, but I wouldn't bet my house on BB losing to a team coached by Kingsbury or McVay or Arians for that matter. Lafleur is doing pretty well this year, IMO.

I think the question in the NFC is who has a chance to get rolling on defense. Tampa improved consistently on defense and was peaking on defense in January. If one of the good NFC teams can find that same kind of groove I think they are all really good offensively and will be a favorite. Of all of them I like Green Bay’s chances best. They seem the closest to most complete to me.

Tampa has New Orleans, Carolina x2, and the Jets coming up. TB12 has a good chance at that bye. GB goes to Baltimore this weekend but Lamar looks gimpy.

I think it’s weird. Not just the Gronk scam but USAA advertising in general. It’s only open to military members and family… yet if you’re in the military you already are well aware of their services. So who exactly are they advertising to? Not me. Not 95 percent of the people watching the game. I don’t get it.
I recently asked my dad about it, mostly due to the ubiquity of the ads, so I guess that’s one potential lead. It’s kind of a weird question. Why do Coke and McDonald’s advertise?

Wow, the Bucs have an easy road to hoe. The Packers have the tiebreak and will be favored in their remaining four games, but imo it’s more likely than not that they’ll lose to one of Baltimore, Cleveland, or Minnesota.

Yup, lots of pressure on Rodgers now to run the table. The NFC does not want to let Brady get home field. Would be interesting if Dallas got to go back to Tampa for a rematch though.

And lots of people that qualify have other options like through their jobs, their spouses jobs etc. And many of thee people aren't choosing USAA

Can't you get USAA if your grandparents served? That is a huge chunk of millions and millions of Americans, many of whom may be unaware they are eligible.

Yes you can. I have USAA as a kid of a servicemember, and my kids have USAA as well, as grandkids of a servicemember.

The ads - at least the ones I've seen - don't really make that point about who can join USAA though. Seems to be all about USAA customer service and the general awesomeness of being with USAA

I'm sure that the paragraph of 2-point type that's on the screen for 1/80th of a second explains it all.

Our experience

The qualifying service member or veteran connects with USAA and provides them with a list of eligible family members. The family members then join using the membership information of the qualifying member.

My father-in-law joined, provided all his children's names, and we were able to join.
