Green Bay is back after that bye and a couple changes on defense has them looking very different. I would easily put them in consideration as front runners in the NFC and considering the rest of their schedule, I can see them finishing with a 12-4 record.

He hasn't been good, but he also looks really banged up.

Hard to look good when you have no protection, an average running game, and few weapons on offense.

IMO he is playing hurt as well.

The garbage supporting cast he has doesn't help either.

I think it comes down to teams that will make average quarterbacks look bad with poor offensive personal, and coaching.

See Mark Sanchez with the Jets.

There seems to be a lot of really bad football teams this year...or a lot of very bad performances at the very least. This game is on par with last nights game and many others over the last month.

Not a very good product right now.

There have been quite a few games that looked like decent match ups where one team played terribly too. Indy at Denver to start the year, the Colts blew that first half. New England shat the bed in KC on Monday night. Denver bombed in Foxboro. The Packers had awful games in Seattle and New Orleans. The saints no showed in Dallas. Baltimore forgot how to play pass defence. So a lot of these ended up being duds.

Even with Thursday night featuring all Division games this year, it seems to have made games that may have been competitive into total duds.

This coming week looks to have some intriguing games, will the Bills and Dolphins both have tough defences. The Patriots and Colts in Indy off bye weeks seems like a promising match up. Pittsburgh at Tennessee....the NFL might want a mulligan there in favor of the Lions and Cardinals.

The Broncos must really be worried about the Oline if they're working out Incogneto. The PR hit could be worth it.

The 49ers placed Patrick Willis on season ending IR.

That sprained toe must be pretty bad.

Yeah I guess he needs surgery to fix it or it could become a permanent problem. Tough loss for the Niners.

NaVorro Bowman also still feeling pain in his knee I guess so he is headed for another MRI, could also be shut down for the season.

49ers without arguably the 3 top Linebackers in the game (Patrick Willis, NaVorro Bowman and Aldon Smith) for most of the season. Also lost starting NT Ian Williams for atleast 6 weeks with a broken bone in his leg. Hopefully Glenn Dorsey is back soon to help out the D-line.

Thank God Aldon Smith is back now, he will help the pass rush immensely.

Rough year for injuries everywhere.

Seahawks NT Brandon Mebane out for the year with a torn Hamstring. Big loss.

I am not sure indoors/outdoors matters as much to this Lions team as they seem to rely on the defense more than their passing offense.

I do think the Packers are the most dangerous team in the NFC and can beat anyone if they play their best. With that defense though they also look like they can lose to anyone on any day as well.

I don't think that defense will hold up to win 2-3 games in the play-offs and that GB has a couple of impressive wins and then losese before the SB.

This is a huge game for both of these teams tonight. Lose and you are pretty much out of the playoffs.

Lamar Miller breaks Leodis Mckelvin's ankle after this.
