Kyyle23 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I would be very worried about Rodgers getting popped by the blitzberg labeaus if I were McCarthy. I would hold out Rodgers for the bears specifically and hope Flynn can pull it off once more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 09:39 PM) He's Aaron Rodgers. He'll dominate. Yeah I think this too. But Pitt passing O has been a lot better, and better running O. They could hang with em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clyons Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 03:22 PM) Jay Cutler looked pretty darn good after coming off an injury and weeks of inaction. But IIRC, Cutler had at least practiced (although he was limited) the week before, no? That said, we are talking about Aaron Rodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 01:38 PM) So because Jay looked good means EVERY QB will respond the same... He's a better QB than Cutler, they're fighting for their playoff lives, and Pittsburgh is not very good. Heck, Tomlin may give some of his bench guys more reps since their season is over, just to see what he has in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clyons Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 10:01 AM) True, but they were still reeling from losing Melton and Collins. Ratliff has really made his presence felt since he started playing. The Bears need Briggs back and another solid game from Ratliff to win at Philly. If that happens, we're going to knock off the Packers at home, but I'm not optimistic about this Sunday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyone Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I think Alshon is very shy, or quiet. They had one of the female reporters on CSN talk to him, and she mentioned that she was happy he opened up to her, because he is a quiet guy in the locker room, or something along those lines.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 08:49 AM) I think he has like 19 or 20 career 4th quarter comebacks. The problem is that the media treats the Cowboys like they are still some powerhouse franchise, when they are mediocre as they come. In the last 17 seasons, they are 135-135 in the regular season with one playoff win. I agree that the Cowboys get WAY too much attention and every preseason they are usually considered one of the best, but no matter what, the media and fans and most everyone who doesn't have access to a statistics database laughs at Romo no matter what. It's fair to say the Cowboys are overrated, because they usually are, but Romo gets more s*** shoveled on him than any athlete I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 10:09 AM) Lol, no. I love how Cowboy fans feel about Romo in relation to everyone else. You realize most Cowboys fans hate Romo right? Most want him released and believe in the idea that this team would be better off with ANYONE else. Those dumb fans listen to the dumb recycled narrative from the media that says "The Cowboys will never win with Romo!!!". No. The Cowboys will never win the defense they run out there pretty much ever year. The Cowboys would never have made the playoffs in the last decade without Romo.

Chisoxfn Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 17, 2013 -> 01:27 PM) Although if they care about the #3 or #4 seed, then it's not meaningless. Why does a Cowboys win make the game meaningless for the Eagles? Is it because the Eagles/Cowboys meet up in the last game so if the Cowboys win, either way it comes down to who wins next Sunday?
