Nah. They just got beat. But Gronk being suspended hurt them big time. When I heard the suspension announced last week I knew we'd have a chance.

I honestly dont think it would've gone 10 yards even if we had just let it roll.

@Robbie Hart I told you Miami was gonna get in that ass
There's a very slim chance they can still get a Wild Card. I'm assuming that's what is driving this decision.
I'm sure Jordy Nelson is happy. He's been pretty much ignored since Rodgers went down.
You are a Redskins fan.
Some great games this week.

Rams can basically shut the door on Pete Carroll and the cheap-shotting Seahawks with a victory tomorrow. A win would give the Rams a 2 game lead with only 2 games left, all but guaranteeing Seattle's only chance at the post-season would be via the Wild Card - If they even get that. Seattle still has to play @DAL - aka "The Return of Zeke".
NE @ PIT
The best two teams in the AFC battling for home field advantage in the playoffs. The Patriots have completely owned the Steelers in recent history and I'm thinking that continues. Gronk is back. And Belichick still owns Tomlin.
Other notables...
Aaron Rodgers returns in an attempt to run the table and take Green Bay from 7-6 to 10-6 (last 3 games @CAR, MIN, @DET), which still wouldn't guarantee a playoff spot. They'd need to jump 2 of the 3 teams already ahead of them in the Wild Card standings - Carolina (9-4), Atlanta (8-5) and Seattle (8-5). And they'd have to hope that no other 7-6 team in the NFC runs the table (DAL, DET).
Carson Wentz is out for the season, so Nick Foles takes over the rest of the way. Philly has been the best team in the NFL posting a record of 11-2. They have a game @NYG tomorrow, then a prime time matchup against Oakland and they finish it out with DAL at home. Foles has proven to be a very capable backup, but Wentz was playing at an MVP level all season. Him going down was a tough break.
SD @ KC
The winner takes control of 1st place in the AFC West.

So the NFL and the networks should probably work on things if they want ratings to go back up.
My 2 choices right now are between Cards/Redskins (useless game that's at least somewhat geographically meaningful based on my location) or Jets/Saints (a shit game that's mostly meaningless and not geographically relevant)...
The Dolphins/Bills game is more meaningful than the Jets/Saints game.
And Packers/Panthers is a damned playoff game and geographically meaningful.
But no... Just keep feeding bullshit and expect people to watch it.
So now I'll be streaming football for the rest of the year even if something is on that I want to see. Fuck your advertising dollars.

Come on Rodgers!
God damnit....
Yah baby!
The dolphins suck!
Professional sports is about the only organization I can think of that chooses to limit its exposure to its fanbase.
You'd think they'd want every game on TV in every market to maximize viewership.
What’s the story on that?
