They wear them at least once a year. Similar to the Steelers bumblebee jerseys.

Mind you if teams are regularly putting up 50+ points in these fugly jerseys....I'd start wearing them every week.

I actually think the Packers throwbacks are sick. The Steelers ones gives me an aneurysm.

nm, double post...Jamal Charles rules.

It is crazy to think that Arizona has a 3 game lead with 6 games left to play in the NFC West. Every week they find ways to make plays and win the game, it's pretty remarkable. They still have a reasonably tough schedule to go with 3 road games against Division teams and hosting the Chiefs at home. Still if they can go 3-3 they'll win that Division. I still have a tough time convincing myself that they'll end up in the Superbowl, but right now, I think Green Bay is the only team they'd have a tough time slowing down.

In the AFC I think it's pretty clear that New England has become unstoppable there. Now that they have their offensive line figured out, they're pretty much rolling everyone they face. Will be fun to watch them go against Green Bay. Denver shocked me by losing yesterday. I think they'll still claim the two seed, but who knows if they have to go into KC without Sanders, J.Thomas, and thin at RB that would make that a closer game.

Lots of teams still in the playoff races who play each other, so should be a good final 6 weeks.

Yeah nothing that happened yesterday changed my opinion that GB is the class of the NFC. They're playing like they're using cheat codes right now.

If Green Bay D can hold up, they are unstoppable. Aaron Rodgers is the best QB in the game, and with time in the pocket he is going to pick teams apart, his accuracy is off the charts.

[ForeverFlameFan]

I am definitely a homer for the Cardinals, but the Packers are something else. If Rodgers stays healthy, they'll go far. The Cards have everything but an elite QB.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Could be an interesting to see if we see any jockeying between the Lions and Packers to try and intentionally lose the division and get the 7-9 or 6-10 NFC South Champ in the first round. You figure the loser of that race will get the 5 seed, which matches up with whatever loser team comes out of the South.

[MacDaddy77]

I seriously doubt theyll try and lose a home playoff game. I'd say Green Bay has their sights firmy set on at least #2 seed and a bye for the first week and host the divisional game.

AZ is by no means a lock just yet for #1 seed either, they have a tough stretch coming up and while they should win the division no problem they could realistically lose out on the first round bye

[Sylvanfan]

Yeah, the issue there is that the #2 seed is still very much up for grabs. So your option is finish 5th, and have to play on the road in week one in a place like New Orleans or Atlanta where those teams have performed well at home, and likely have to win two more road games. Or claim the #2 seed get a bye, and either host the winner of the NFC East, or possibly that other team from your Division in your house after they played on the road the previous week.

You could make the same argument that Dallas and Detroit might do the same thing as they have the same records as Dallas and Green Bay.

I suppose if it comes down to week 17 and some of these fates are decided, perhaps it could factor in. But I still think teams would rather get a home game. It has happened before where a team with the #3 or 4 seed ends up hosting the championship game.

[devo22]

Mettenbergers very first pass of the game is a pick six. Not bad.

[transplant99]

The 49ers are imploding.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks, who did not seem to take a liking to the reduction in his playing time caused by Aldon Smith's return to the lineup, illustrated his displeasure by taking himself out of Sunday's 16-10 win over the New York Giants, according to multiple media reports.

Brooks did not play in the second half and played only the first two-plus series. He confirmed after the game that he is healthy.

"We're working through something," Niners coach Jim Harbaugh said.

At his locker after the game, Brooks declined to comment on his situation.
"I'm not taking questions today," he said. "Maybe later in the week. ... Yeah, we're working through something."

[Senator Clay Davis]

Steelers are not very good. Ben had two amazing weeks and otherwise they look like 8-8, again.

[KelVarnsen]

This is going to end well.

In the words of one Terrell Owens, get your popcorn ready.
