My big prediction is the Ravens over the 49ers/Seahawks in the big show, unless Green Bay gets lucky and shows up. The Ravens will still take it all (I'm a Packer fan btw, but also a realist :) )

Other than a deluxe certificate suitable for framing, the only thing shareholders get is the opportunity to vote at the annual shareholders meeting. The only thing of significance voted on are the members of the 45 person board of directors. Those 45 elect the 7 person executive committee who ultimately run the organization. There is no requirement that shareholders, board or executive committee members be residents of Green Bay and many are not. The city and county have in fact taxed the citizens to help fund the team. They have provided other incentives as well. These taxes and incentives are much smaller than in other markets. If the financial equation didn't work, the city and county would cease to provide and the road to selling or moving the team would begin. I'm not saying it's good, bad or any kind of conspiracy. It's just the reality of how the business of football is conducted in the league's smallest market. The NFL has rules in place to insure nothing like this ever happens again. People love to have the view that the Packers are something down home and folksey, but in reality, it runs just like every other team. With a few odd little twists. |

On the NFC side, things are way more unpredictable. Yeah, the 9rs had a great season, but the Seahawks are looking great, and you can never write off Rodgers in the post season, and there’s also the Saints. Quote:
That play developed like a slo-mo car accident. Easily one of the greatest football plays in history. |

Go Saints (and Seahawks and Tigers)! |
Hoping Seattle can be a factor, but so many key injuries.
Still, with Russell Wilson, you never know —— |
Aw darn. The Ravens game got flexed to 4:25. I'm going to miss the first half. I expect the Steelers to be out of it by the middle of the first quarter.
What time is the Texans/Titans game? |
NFL Week 17 ... and then off to the playoffs

Quoting you again because it seems like the Pats are going to lose to the ‘fins, in December At Foxborough with first week bye on the line. If this happens they deserve to lose the wildcard round. |
Wow, I was kind of embarrassed when the Eagles lost to Miami and that was on the road. Losing to Miami in Foxborough in late December? Not possible...
I'm glad to see it. If the Pats manage to get it done this year, they're really gonna have to work for it. Likely no more than one home game. And Brady is missing throws he didn't used to. Maybe father time is finally catching up with him. The AFC will not have to go through Foxborough this year... As a Pats disliker (I'm not a "hater"), I'm tired of them and ready for this bleeping dynasty to end. Now they're a long shot rather than strong favorite. I'll enjoy watching them go down and if they somehow pull another miracle out of their hat, it'll be richly deserved... |

Keep in mind that only one team in the history of the league has been to four straight Superbowls, and they never won one. For the Pats to make it to four in a row, this year, after winning multiple, and after a nearly two decade long run, would be one of the most insane things ever done in the history of all sports. And the Pats have NOT been the favorite to get to the Superbowl many, many times. The Pats have been in wildcard weekends too. In its entirety, I'm not really disappointed if they don't get to the Superbowl this year. I am a little disappointed that we didn't get any offensive weapons for Brady and kind of screwed him over a bit. You can't win it every year. |
OUCH!

The Patriots are done. Brady's hair is falling out. Moths are eating Belichick's hoodie.

:roll::lol::roll:
We can only hope. They’re certainly a team that has had great chemistry amongst players, coaching staff, etc. for many years. And, I agree that Belicheck is a great coach (although he possesses just a shade more personality than a corpse), and Brady is an elite QB for sure. But I’m with you. Enough already. While I wouldn’t consider myself a “hater”, I’ve never been a fan. It seems that the writing is on the wall for this dynasty. Maybe they’ll pull out another season, but another 2-3...no chance. |
