  1. they have the 2nd best point differential in all of football, despite a tough schedule (like the rest of the NFCN) Oh. Then the losses don't count. you're being purposefully dense. nowhere did i suggest that. why do we all freely accept pythagorean record for baseball as a much better indicator of the quality of a team's performance, but you're seemingly shrugging off point differential like it's [expletive]? 162 games vs 16 games.
  2. The Packers lost those 6 games by a combined 20 points. Has there been a team in history whose average margin of defeat was lower? Really? Is that a real question? I'll just give you some of the easy-math answers: 1984 49ers: 3 1998 Vikings: 3 1985 Bears: 14 2004 Steelers: 17 This year's Ravens lost 4 games by a combined 16 points, so they were right there with the Packers in margin of defeat.

  4. Gordon Wittenmyer needs to get an apology from all the other reporters in town that essentially said he was full of it.
  5. Trib says that Grace is pretty much a long shot with his current commitments.
  6. Haha...fantastic.
  7. I'm starting to feel like the Eagles might win this weekend. The Packers are getting way too much love. PK calls them one of the best 6 seeds in history, which is kind of silly, considering that they finished 10-6 (one game worse than the 6 seed last year, Philadelphia), lost 3 of their last 6, can't run the football, aren't all that great at stopping the run, and haven't played a down yet in the playoffs. The Packers are a good team, but the national media are really willing to overlook their faults.
  8. Nobody mentioned Lovie...with good reason. When was the last time the Bears tried a surprise onside kick, or faked a punt/FG for that matter?
  9. Sparano really has to feel wanted.
  10. Urlacher named NFC defensive player of the month. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/01/06/brian-urlacher-eric-weems-named-nfc-players-of-the-month/
  11. Well there's likely a lockout before the draft anyway, so even if came out, the rookie pay scale could still hurt him, right? The lockout would start immediately after the draft, so the players would be selected but contracts wouldn't be negotiated until after the lockout ended is my understanding. If I'm right, then the rookie contracts would be subject to the new CBA. The lockout date I've heard is March 1. The draft is mid/late April, and thus, would likely be delayed until post-lockout, I'm presuming.
  12. What's the point of a clock then? Why have it timed at all? You could say the same thing about the old playoff overtime. I think I have actually...though I'm not about to go look it up.
  13. I don't know about that. There were rumors he'd stay for a while - before Carolina locked up the #1 pick. He's a bright kid (and clearly he values education a bit if he's going to Stanford) a year away from graduation. Huh...you and raw both have me incorrectly as the author of that post...lol.
  14. Gotcha...that makes sense.
  15. I had a similar thought. But Carolina is just as likely to be holding the #1 pick next season too.
  16. Ah yeah...I think that thread was created before Tim made some changes in association with the 312sports thing. I'm off to a meeting, but I'll try to get those fixed in the next day or two.
  17. Well there's likely a lockout before the draft anyway, so even if came out, the rookie pay scale could still hurt him, right?
  18. lol @ all the mock drafts.
  19. What's the point of a clock then? Why have it timed at all?
  20. And Sparano is still technically HC, right?
  21. It's presumeably a backup plan if Harbaugh goes to Miami, but...
  22. The commish on reseeding the playoffs...
  23. I didn't realize that Bush was healthy honestly. Thought he was still out. Jones I just plain forgot about. In any case, losing those 2 is a big blow to their running game.
  24. Why? Because it's freaking annoying. What's the point of it? You mean what's point of it. I read that sentence 3 times before I got it.
  25. Pierre Thomas was just put on IR. As was Chris Ivory yesterday. The NO running backs are now DeShawn Wynn and Joique Bell. So if the Pack win, the Bears either get the Seahawks or a Saints team with no RB's.
