Yeah, this is pretty much the thing that the Packers have trouble with. Pressure with only 4 down linemen which means they drop 7 all the time, good physical secondary play (when the officials will let them get away with it) keeps the receivers under wraps and a stubborn insistence on staying with a passing game that is clearly hosed all sounds very familiar. The Lions will do the exact same thing in week 17 so, you know. This one is OK to drop, definitely not the end of the world, but it makes me wonder if the Packers can hang with the Lions/Seahawks/Cards in the playoffs because they all have badass physical defenses.

I know. It's pretty awesome when the act of you being right pisses someone off so much they act like a big dumb baby because of football opinions or something.

I will wear it as a badge of honor. It's not my first and it sure as hell won't be my last.

it'll involve the Ravens defense look like poo poo but weirdly have good stats, and the Ravens' offense will be unstoppable , but only in the second half

They are especially cool in college because half the time the QB thinks he can throw the ball again.

Just got in from the strange shitshow/field-goal-fest that was the Panthers game.

a) I have seen Ron Rivera win a challenge, so now I've seen it all.

b) Derek Anderson doing Cam's first down celebration after his big run was the greatest.

c) That's all, really. We're still in this stupid thing, somehow.

I mean I don't know call me crazy but maybe a dumbass former Giants lineman isn't the best guy to call color in games. And it wasn't limited to the announcing team...replays were late or didn't happen at all, montages were re-used over and over again, the director was out of sync with the guys in the booth, they covered up Bill Leavy's explanation of the game ending play and had to have Mike Pereira parachute in and re-explain it . . . that was just really bush league broadcasting from the whole team.

My favorite was them lambasting Woods for not catching a ball that he had to leap 5 feet up to even tip.

I understand they need to have a bunch of broadcast teams and they're essentially "ranked" by the network, but with a game in which both teams are very much in the playoff hunt, why don't you send a better team to call the game? I'm not saying it had to be the National game and get the #1 team or anything, but my god. I've literally seen college games between two terrible teams nobody gives a poo poo about that had better announcers.

With respect to the situation, Derek Anderson looked pretty sharp against the Bucs today. The Panthers' offensive line has looked a lot less lovely over the last couple weeks.
