The NFL is salivating at this possibility

With the Panthers squaring off against the Packers this weekend, it would be extremely beneficial for the NFL for the Packers to win. This would setup a line of premier matchups over the final weeks.

If the Packers beat the Panthers they face off against the Lions and Vikings in the following weeks. Which means Playoffs hypothetically start now. Which would only help drive viewership.

A Panthers loss would also make the @ATL Wk17 matchup  a savory sweet sensation of a game and would drive ratings.

My question: Can we expect a well ref'd game Sunday?

opinions?

yep the NFL's golden boy QB getting cleared to return from an injury juuuust in time to spur a cinderella run to the playoffs.  it's a pro wrestling style story line so i'm expecting pro wrestling style officiating.  the refs might even reflexively flag the pre-game handshake at midfield.

it's also a home game coming off something of an upset win and it's against an opponent with what should be a number of exploitable weaknesses on paper.  knowing ron's propensity to play down to his opponents that doesn't exactly fill me with confidence either.

Not as much as Joe Buck and Troy aikman will be salivating on Aaron Rodgers dong as soon as he completes one pass.  I'll be watching this game on mute.

"rodgers rolling out... still rolling, slips a tackle...  rodgers!  rodgers with an absolute laser!"

"yeah that's what you expect out of aaron rodgers- that's why he's one of the best in the game and frankly why so many people believe this packer team is in position to go on a run and make the playoffs.  carolina looks to be in trouble.  this isn't what you want to see if you're a panthers fan."

"packer fans appreciate it and are making noise here in charlotte.  2nd and 9 from the green bay 20, 14 minutes to go in the first... "

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      Daniel Jeremiah: Panthers prime trade candidate

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
