I'm pretty sure the Ravens said what needed to be said about that one last year.

As my Dad would say, I'm a fan of the Packers and whoever's playing the Vikings, so I'm hoping the Packers make it (and yes, I'll say the Packers were beaten by San Fran last year, because someone else will if I don't). I'm not a huge Broncos or Colts fan, but I really don't want Peyton's swan song to be an interception in double-OT, either, so if they did something, that would be fine, too.

And while I'm not a fan of the Vikes, I'll be really curious to see what happens with them. The better half and I were talking about this last night, and I said that Peterson is probably one of the best players in the league at any position. I'll be curious to see what the rest of the team does around him.

I'm not going to give the Niners the gears too much; Kapernick is really good at what he does, and any team that gets to the Super Bowl sure isn't a bad team. I sure wouldn't rule them out of the hunt, that's for sure, and there are teams I'd much rather see lose.

In regard to a single different call changing the whole course of things, I can definitely feel that pain. As a Packers fan, the blown Hail Mary call against the Seahawks cost them a first round bye last year. Then again, I think Rodgers was sacked eight times in the first half, which didn't help the cause any...

Good luck to everyone this year. Anxious for it to get going.

Hey,

Normally I don't cheer for teams that employ felons who have committed unforgivable crimes, but I was glad to see the Eagles keep the Packers hopes alive. The Packers-Bears game next week is going to have my interest...

Luke

Hey,

I'm not going to say Romo is good or bad, but in regard to the loss to Green Bay, I'm going to paraphrase what my girlfriend said a couple of years back: you shouldn't have to score 36 points to win a football game.

Luke

I'm not a rocket surgeon, but wasn't last weekend a "mean something" game against Arizona?

In all truthfulness, I give the Hawks a hard time not because I have anything personal against them, but because the replacement officials hosed the Packers out of a first round bye last year and it happened to be against Seattle. Be interesting to see how they do on Sunday!

Betting against a team that won the Super Bowl in 2010 and the NFC North the following two years in a game to decide the NFC North? Interesting choice... :-/

Hey all,

I haven't looked at scores yet; I just got up from a nap. Only the I know is that someone went out for the Chiefs. My predictions:

Chiefs
Saints
I can't recall who's playing the Chargers, but the team the Chargers are playing
Packers

Luke

Well things just got interesting...

Luke

Well, I'll be the first to say I didn't see that happening...

I just saw this. If Toronto gets an NFL team, next thing you know, they're gonna want an NHL team, too...

Hey,

Anyone else going to the Patriots-Packers game this weekend?

Luke

Hey,

Well worth the two days of driving...

Hey,

My Dad is originally from a small town north of St. Croix Falls on the Wisconsin side. My Mom is from Bloomington. When it came to picking sides, I sort of gravitated toward the team with a quarterback...

Luke

I notice the people complaining about the call reversal today were oddly silent last week when a flag was picked up and it screwed the Lions...

Luke

Scores:

21-17 for Green Bay
27-20 for Indianapolis

Luke

You're right. 24-10 Green Bay.

Luke

Trash talking aside, I just want to see the team that plays the best game win. The Packers are my team, and I'm glad they won last weekend, but don't like that the Calvin Johnson rule is always going to hang over that game. I want football to decide this game and not controversy. So, with that, good luck to the Seahawks fans out there; should be a good game.

Luke

I resent that statement. I was obnoxious long before I started cheering for Green Bay.
