The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

That would be an amazing story.

Woke up early to watch this before work then found out, for some reason, it hasn't taped.

Amazed to find out we won though. Cutler will be under pressure if he comes back and plays shite now. McCown has done a great job.

I'll watch the repeat when I get home.

Bears win was nailed on the second Rodgers went down. Can't believe I got even money in play.

McCown is a decent quarterback to have as backup, whereas Wallace is an embarrassment to his profession.

"Hello Brett............ Hi there, remember us ? Just wondering if you were doing anything for the next few weeks"

Watching Favre in the late nineties was the main reason I got into the NFL, and became a packers fan. I think they'll probably go back to Matt Flynn though.

I think Rodgers is the NFL's best player though, so he'll be impossible to adequately replace.

I've got the game on from last night. At least Rodgers' was watching from the sideline, appearing to be in relative comfort. No strapping, ice, not taken to a nearby hospital etc. Hopefully he won't be out for long and we can get by in the meantime. The NFC North is so tight at the moment, everyone's 5-3.

Yeah, that's the best case scenario. I can't see Wallace getting it done in the meantime. Teams will just put eight in the box to stifle Lacy and Starks.

Really need another option at QB

It's a broken collarbone, so he'll be out for a while.

We definitely need to bring in a replacement because Wallace isn't good enough.

Early reports are that it's a fracture and he'll miss 3 weeks.

It was a good game, as soon as Rodgers was injured, we were able to load up against the run because Wallace wasn't great. To be fair to him he will now be practicing the plays, which he wasn't before this week.

It makes the NFC North a lot more interesting, I think the Detroit Lions are now the favourites to take the Division. They play at Solider Field against Da Bears now, so that's a huge game.

Hoping that Briggs is back. Interesting to see whether Cutler is back and if he comes straight back in anyway. McCown did sensible throws and most importantly got rid of the ball quickly and that is better than Cutler hanging on to it for too long and forcing passes.

Think I'd actually prefer Tebow to Wallace

[ADVILLAFAN]

Think McCarthy has ruled out bringing Flynn back onto the Roster. He was only cut by the Bills this week and would probably know some of the Packers' plays. Also did well in his brief showings for the Packers before.

[taylorsworkrate]

Unreal. There's actually people trying to defend this despicable piece of shit.

Hardly surprising... didn't some teammates defend Mike Vick when he was caught murdering dogs? Something along the lines of "a man should be able to do what he wants in his own home"!!

No, that was a stupid mate of Vick's who said that.
