Yes, what changed was they went from the unbiased replacement officials, back to the regular officials which tend to have a respect to the Packer tradition, and bias in favor of the Pack.

Maybe 2 refs on each of 3 or 4 officiating crews favor the Packers and Patriots.

They might cover it up by trying to make the number of penalties equal on both sides, but when it comes down to momentum changers, or crucial plays in the 4th quarter, they would have a tendency to almost always rule in favor of the Packers and Patriots in regards to calls and non calls.

IF the Vikes win a SB, I want them to do it not as media darlings, but a team that has to overcome the officials in their playoff run, and has anti-Viking commentators hating it all the way.

It will make it all the more enjoyable.

He's had a better line and better run game to take the pressure off of him thusfar.

Denver is dealing WR Emmanuel Sanders and a 2020 5th-round pick to San Francisco in exchange for 2020 3rd- and 4th-round picks, per league sources.

First Mohamed Sanu, now Sanders....

Werder is legit.

He's Dallas based, but hasn't been a beat writer for the Cowboys for 20 years. Pretty solid National media guy for the NFL.

Can't blame Williams for being angry. He could have died had he not seen a doctor on his own accord.

Geez. Didn't these guys learn anything about respect from their parents when they were children? If I even talked about raising my hand to my wife, my father and brothers would beat me to a pulp.

It's scary how good they are and the Rams have to be humiliated. I guess it's good for the Vikings. Their odds for making the playoffs just got better.

Indeed, the Rams look toast. They still have to play @SF and @Dal, hard to see them getting to 10 wins. The Panthers lost as well, the only team that can realistically catch us are the Bears at this point since we have the tiebreaker over both the Eagles and Cowboys.

As for the Ravens, it's great seeing Lamar succeed. I felt he could have been worth a flier in the late 1st, but we had just inked Kirk to a 3 year deal. I thought the Steelers should have taken him and it looks like they will be ruing that for many years. Felt he was so unique and a much better passer than he was given credit for, but I would have never thought he'd be this dominant.

But with all the running he does he will get hurt sooner or later. Probably get his knees targeted by a divisional foe cuz their going to get sick of chasing him around.

I thought they said it was the Colts. I'm watching NFL Redzone.

The 1-13 Bengals who could clinch the #1 pick in next years draft came from 23 points behind in the 4th quarter to send the game to OT on a final play of regulation TD pass and 2 pointer. However, the Dolphins are about to win this game with a FG. It's good. The comeback was in vain.

In the XFL, there will be no kicking extra points, instead they’ll follow the rules used in flag football where you can choose to go for 1, 2, or 3 points after with an offensive play from the 2, 5, or 10 yard line.

Very interesting. I would go for the three every time except for situationally like you're down one point and it's the last play of the game. Then I would go for 2.
