All things considered, probably the most satisfying victory of his career" - Nantz. Wow.

Peyton saying the line blocked better and RB's ran harder when he was in there.

And saying Brock got some bad breaks. He mostly said the right things, unlike the commentators.

When was the last time the Pats were helped in the last week of the season? 2001 when the Raiders lost to get them the 2 seed? I know one of the two times they missed the playoffs in the Brady era they could have gotten in with help (the year he was injured), I think maybe the other one as well (year after the Rams Super Bowl)?

I have to give Manning a lot of credit. He came back from that injury very quickly. I mean, how does a guy come back from such a damaging injury so quickly?

Anyone see Hannibal? Where Verger buys old Lefter memorabilia? How much would Nantz pay for a used Manning syringe?

Yes. Win or tie by GB sends Seattle to DC. GB loses, they come to DC.

Actually, I think MIN wants a tie.

In that case, GB wins the North due to head-to-head and is the #3 seed at 10-5-1.

However, MIN is the #5 seed at 10-5-1, ahead of 10-6 SEA.

Therefore, the matchups would be:

#6 SEA (10-6) @ #3 GB (10-5-1)
#5 MIN (10-5-1) @ #4 WAS (9-7)

If I'm the Vikings, that beats both a trip to Lambeau and hosting Seattle.

Why does this team not throw it more often to Peterson? I realize McKinnon is the better receiver, but I'd think Adrian in space is a very effective tool.

Dungy - "Big Ben is the best QB in the AFC right now"

Too bad Dungy doesn't coach a team, that's great bulletin board material.

You guys who listen to Dungy & Costas shoe masochistic tendencies unless you are listening in order to inform us here.

We know Dungy is biased and a hypocrite but Costas makes my blood curdle even more. His arrogance and self-righteous pompous manner are beyond what I am capable or willing endure. " Glorious and Admirable" just like his comments about the St. Louis Cardinals. If they are the chosen ones, he sees no evil.

Is Aaron Rodgers an elite QB this season? How many QBs have played better than him this year? Off the top of my head I imagine Blake Bortles and Rodgers have similar counting stars.

And yes, GB could well lose a playoff game in Washington next week. They are not that good.
