Starting to get confident of the No1 seed this year, particularly given Arizona's recent woes. Matches at Buffalo and against Lions will be tricky though.And indeed
Hoooooooooo!

If that is to be the SB I'm pretty confident the Patriots will win. Considering that GB were at home and had the benefit of some appalling officiating (let's give GB a 1st down for Pats having 12 men on the field - Oh, nobody's walking off and BB is politely pointing out that we don't know what we're doing so we'd better reverse it) it was not a convincing win. The Pats tend to learn from days like that and almost never lose to the same team twice. I expected that we would lose, I thought the margin would be wider.

The NE rushing attack has three very good options so was pretty surprised it wasn't used. Almost seemed that they wanted to get into a passing duel with Rodgers.

One thing that always concerns me in games like that is using Eddie lacy too much, when he gets injured it's going to be a big one.
Have to say that I am disappointed with the strategy of the Texans.
With their win against the Titans last week and the Jaguars yesterday, they are still in with a mathematical chance of making the playoffs.
It appears to me that Coach O'Brien is so desperate to get there in his first season, he is not addressing the Quarterback issue.
Ryan Fitzpatrick is inconsistent. Tom Savage (draft pick) is untried.
The Texans will never ever make the Superbowl with Fitzpatrick so I think O'Brien should be playing Savage every game now to see if he's got what it takes.
If he does, great. If we lose every game in the rest of the season and Savage is terrible, then they know what they need to do off season.
Mallet should come back from injury ok next year but he is still relatively untried.
If we don't beat the Colts next week (and I don't think we will) then i hope they give the rookie a chance.

The defense is certainly back to its frightening best. Not sure if the offense is good enough to carry them through though.
Baldwin is really stepping up into his WR role and our throwing game has increased hugely recently, infact, our whole game has since Percy departed!I am very confident we will make it to the Superbowl. I also think we will get #1 seed and gain HFA.

I think you'll be there or thereabouts, and defense wins championships...so anything is possible.

While Houston still have a chance of making the playoffs they should stick with Fitzpatrick. Once the season is a bust they will experiment. Same with Cleveland.With their win against the Titans last week and the Jaguars yesterday, they are still in with a mathematical chance of making the playoffs.

Both ends of the spectrum for the Packers last night. Nice to see Quarless making himself useful, Rodgers playing another blinder and Clay Matthews making a nuisance of himself.
On the flip side that second half was pretty awful, and the defense went to crap for no real reason. Really do think Dom Capers needs replacing next season, and both Bulaga and AJ Hawk both need to improve massively or get the chop, far too many errors.
But, a win is a win and our offense looks mighty. Love seeing them crushing it even when Nelson and Cobb are basically shut down.

Yeah bit bummed that we might lose Lacy for a week, but I'd rather he recovered than played through. Davon House looks questionable too.
I'm not sweating it too much, not having Lacy might make us one-dimensional but the one downfall of the Bills' otherwise solid defence is they're not that good with really fast slants, which is what we do well. I'm guessing they'll drop Conb back a few yards and go for short quick runs.
intereted to see what they do with Matthews, id rather see him on the outside against the Bills and Hawk back in.

Jesus Christ that was awful. If the Bills had an offense to speak of it would have been a walloping.
