My Vols only had to beat Vandy on the road in the final game to make the playoffs, and we started by letting Vandy return the opening kickoff for a touchdown. Two plays later, we fumbled and Vandy recovered. Went down 14 - 0.

After that everything settled down and we ended up winning 36 -24 after allowing a late touchdown.

So my boys are in and hopefully hosting a first round game.

What's funny is, even being a Packers fan, it was so bad that I caught myself yelling at the TV wondering what the hell they were doing, when I should have been jumping for joy lol.
I'm a Packers fan too, but dude, it was a divisional game so you cheer against the better team. I was up in arms over them blowing it because I wanted Detroit to lose. I don't think I ever cheered harder for the Bears EVER (except when them winning was needed for Green Bay to get a playoff berth). My ex-wife, a born and bread Bears fan, would either be proud of me or wonder what was wrong with me.

Sweet! 👊

Normally I would agree with that, but I'm making an exception being that I would rather see Detroit on top over the stinking Vikings, who of course are right there behind them. With only five games left I doubt we could catch Detroit with the way they've been playing, so I'd rather they remain on top. I also really like Dan Campbell. The guy just has such a big heart. I also had/have a lot of respect for Stafford when he was there. The dude legit scared me every time we played them back in the early to mid 2010s.

And I can say "we" because I own a share. :p

Damn, that must have been crazy having a spouse that's a Bears fan. I can't even imagine!

Well, with only 5 games left it probably won't make a difference, but I think the Packers might be better off if the Lions don't get the #1 seed. Of course that may not matter either. I'd just prefer the Lions have a little bit tougher opponent to start the playoffs rather than get a first round bye.

Yeah chances are if the standings don't change in the North and they get passed the wild card, they'll face the Lions in the divisional. But I'm more hopeful they can take the 2nd spot before the post season.

Or maybe we'll get a Run The Table v2.0 and the Lions, Vikings, and Eagles end up losing enough games to put the Pack in first with a bye. :D

Well, now maybe, but 10+ years ago - the Raiders MUST lose. Didn't matter if it means your team doesn't make the playoffs, the Evil Ones MUST LOSE!

These days, well, the Raiders are just another team. A team that has a new city with a new stadium where the Chiefs have won more games than the Raiders have. The ancient(ish) evil has been vanquished. The NFL now knows only goodness and light!

Exactly how I feel about the Vikings. And it's because of the fan-base. Seems like they'd rather have their team lose than see the Packers win. And I swear Vikings fans pay more attention to the Packers than Packers fans pay attention to the Packers.
 
Well I skipped on the Packers @ Lions last night. There was a local market place event last night that my wife and I always go to this time of year, so we made a date out of it. But I kept tabs on the game and was happy at least to see the Packers keep it close. I figured it would come down to whichever team had the ball last, and when I checked the score when there was less than 2 min left in regulation and it was tied at 31 - and the Lions had the ball - the outcome was predictable.

I've still yet to watch the game, but I'm glad I missed what likely would have been a heartache had I sat through it live, being a divisional game. But hats off to the Lions and Dan Campbell. It doesn't hurt as much to lose to a team who's coach has such an clear passion and big heart for the game and his players.

Nope. Lets trademark it so other people can't do it

the troll in this is amazing... That's an Olympic level dance. How would I be able to do that without any formal training

I feel, as an Australian, I should be able to let you all laugh along side us.

Raygun wants to suck every last penny out of this. She should get about $5.

This comedian is funny as hell, though. Said she wasn't doing the dance because it was an Olympic level dance, and how could she possibly do that without any formal training :ROFLMAO:

That was absolutely brilliant! I also loved this bit, "and they're also worried that I was damaging her brand, which I would never do. She doesn't need me to do that." :ROFLMAO:

First I've heard of Broadbridge (although she looks familiar). Now I want to see more of her stuff. On my way to YouTube...

Good game last night between the Rams and Niners. Well, at least I thought so being that I like low-scoring defensive stand-offs.

And gee, what a surprise Campbell quit on the Niners and went to the locker room during Q3 after Shanahan tried to put him in the game. He pulled similar things in Green Bay and Atlanta. Glad he isn't the Packers' problem anymore.
