I was thinking of you AZ watching the Cardinal last night. I think they're a serious outfit, I really do. Obviously Palmer's health is key but where would the Patriots chance be without Brady or the Packers chances without Rodgers? Palmer is not in their bracket but he is a bloody good QB. Chris Johnson looks to have a wee bit of juice left, one ankle breaker of a cut and the afterburners made Navorro Bowman look a bit silly. Then there's the great master himself - MacGearailt. Just WOW.

The Jays are off to the playoffs for the first time since they won the World Series in 1993  ;D

It was the longest playoff drought of any team in the big 4 leagues. That dubious honour now belongs to the Buffalo Bills.

Buffalo could well end that this season.

Was thinking the same thing, but that rookie QB might end up getting hurt, he's wide open when he runs.

He's throwing it lovely though I'd share your concern on his running. Very good defense though.

Think that was Wilhoite, no? Though Bowman was left trailing on the play.

Are the Bears and 49ers early favourites for the 1st draft pick? They meet in later in the season in Soldier Field and looking at the niners schedule i don't see too many wins before then.  :-\

Possibly. Carr is very, very good and consecutive 100 yards games for Cooper. Great to see Charles Woodson still going strong!

Aaron Rodgers - a very average QB  ;)

That's harsh Gab.


I've never seen better.

They had a segment on him the other day, scientifically his release takes 3/100's of a second, this is 20% faster than the next fastest QB, this equates to him giving his WR a 2.5 foot cushion over the next quickest release.

Brady is brilliant, absolutely brilliant and he has won four to Rodgers one, but if Rodgers get to three and Brady stays on four I would have him as the best of all time, the man has thrown 580 passes with an interception at Lambeau, that is off the charts.

Did they sell out?

The Pack are in London next year apparently, an away game for them, they have said they will never give up a home game to play out of the Country and they will be the biggest draw they have ever had.
