Comments:

  • Wow, that was a pretty ugly game by the Packers tonight. They haven't given up 37 points and won since 2011 (which does not bring up happy memories for Packer fans).

    That was the most passing yards the Packers' defense has given up all season, and the only game they've given up 4 touchdown passes. Maybe it was a fluke game, but it feels to me like the Packers' chances to get to the Super Bowl this year just took a major blow.

  • The Cardinals get a crucial home win, and with the 49ers playing the way they have, another win week 17 seems like a real possibility.

  • The Seahawks get a crucial win of their own, which means the Seahawks @ Cardinals game week 16 will probably decide the NFC West. And with head-to-head tiebreakers over the Packers and now the Eagles, the Seahawks have a real shot at the top seed too.

  • The Patriots are down to three division games, with week 16 at the Jets the only one on the road. Barring a major face plant, the Pats should be able to win out with relative ease, which will get them the #1 seed in the AFC.

  • Looking at APR's top 10 teams, the Chiefs and Dolphins are the only ones that seem out of place.

  • And #16 may kinda low for the 9-win Cowboys, but looking at their record, that week 6 win over the Seahawks is maybe the only win over a quality team they have this season. They lost to the 49ers, Cardinals, and Eagles, so I'm not sure how much wins over the likes of the Giants, Jaguars and Titans should really matter.

  • As an update on the monitor situation, the old one seems to be hanging in there, and the new one is scheduled to arrive Wednesday, so it looks like FSPI will go on as scheduled this week.
