I thought that it wasn't a Panthers TD. Half of the receiver's body was out of the end zone! How come this challenge was successful??? And the disgraceful Panthers made a horrible targeting helmet-to-helmet, I wish the NFL had an ejection rule like college. I hate the Panthers. They are unfairly winning this game so far and Rodgers threw a second interception, the Panthers didn't get any points out of the first one, but did out of the second one.
Meanwhile at least the Jets are hanging on with the Saints, down by only 7, I'm hoping for a miracle there.

Oh, OK. Now they showed an image that actually did support the ref's decision. OK, the Panthers TD was legit after all. Rodgers is struggling, landed on his shoulder again. Rodgers intercepted again! Third time!
It was a bad idea, bringing him back for this game. At this point, I'd bench him and preserve him for next season.
The Packers won't make the playoffs and they are risking the health of their star QB.
They tried but this is not working. Bench Rodgers, for his safety, now!

Aaron Rodgers has looked awful today, 3 picks, he’s obviously not healthy, I agree, I wouldn’t even start him the last 2 games, don’t risk his health.
Jets are playing the Saints close, I would love to see the Jets pull the upset, Saints just fumbled in the red zone!
Vikings and Jaguars are winning in absolute blowouts both playing very impressive.
Eagles have taken the lead on the Giants 31-23, Foles has played well.

OMG...Teddy is in. I am scared to death. I'm rooting for him. Why's he in? Is the game out of hand and they want to give him some reps or did Keenum go down...... this is a disgrace - worst offense in the league is going up and down the field at will on the Birds....

OMG...Teddy is in. I am scared to death. And Teddy gets picked right off the bat. No idea why the fuck they brought him in, Keenum has played terrific. That being said, I would be very happy if I was a Vikings fan, their defense is arguably the best in the league and they have a ton of offensive weapons as well. They’ve absolutely decimated the Bengals today in one of the most dominating performances of the year and I think they are the NFC’s best team.

Case is fine. He was cheering for Teddy and the crowd was going nuts. I am sure the Vikings and Teddy himself wants to see what he can do.
...and he throws an INT on his first attempt.

Dolphins recover onside kick, need a quick score and 2-point conversion ... Jay Cutler throws an interception! Oh brother.

The Packers recover an onside kick with 2:40 remaining and down by 7. Come on Rodgers, work your magic.

You can never trust Jay Cutler, he will play solid one week and then play like total garbage like he did today. One of the most inconsistent QB’s in the NFL. If it wasn’t for Cutler the Dolphins would be a playoff team, they have a solid amount of talent, maybe next year the Fins will make it.
Eagles hang on and beat the Giants, nice comeback win, Foles was impressive.
Panthers beat the Packers, Packers played sloppy and Rodgers wasn’t healthy and probably shouldn’t have been playing IMO. Definitely he should be benched now.
Saints hang on and defeat the Jets.
Vikings destroy the Bengals and clinch the NFC North, very impressive performance.
Jaguars blow out the Texans and clinch a playoff slot.
Now time for the late games, only 3 of them but they are interesting.

Stunning drive by the Patriots leaves the Steelers reeling as Tom Brady draws first blood in the battle of the decorated QBs. Should be an exciting game.

The Panthers won the game. Gotta give it to then, they won two games in a row against very good opposition (I won't say very good teams because while the Vikings qualify, the Packers don't; but with Rodgers they did keep it close and their defense did make some plays, so I'd say that Rodgers was the opposition if we factor in some good plays by their defense - even though he was picked 3 times, his defense was able to neutralize two of those by producing fast 3-and-outs). Anyway, Carolina's offense played well, with Newton having a great game, and Olsen finally back and healthy also having a great game. Their defense did cause three picks, one forced-fumbled recovery (which sealed the game for them) and one turnover on downs. So with five turnovers and their offense scoring 31 points, it was sufficient for them to win.
I do feel that the media underestimated the Panthers. When it was announced that Rodgers would be back, all the articles were already assuming that the story of this game would be Rodgers making his magic. At one point the Carolina players said something to the effect that there are two teams in this game, and one of them is playing at home and might disagree with all the Rodgers Rodgers Rodgers talk.
Indeed, they picked Rodgers three times and won the game. Cam Newton clearly did better than Rodgers, with a QB rating of 128, 300 all purpose yards, 4 TDs, and no interceptions, while Rodgers had a QB rating of 71.5, 3 TDs, and 3 interceptions. Still, Rodgers got 33 more all-purpose yards than Newton, but that wasn't sufficient for him to win the game. Still, his 333 yards show that Green Bay did significantly improve with him back.
Now, if the Falcons win tomorrow thus eliminating the Packers, I think they should sit him for the last two games; there would be no sense in risking his health.
-----------
The Saints looked vulnerable... almost losing to the Jets, at home. So this bodes well for the possibility that the Falcons might beat them again in week 16. I do expect the Falcons to beat the Bucs tomorrow. The Panthers should also beat the Bucs at home easily in week 16.
So, if the Falcons beat the Saints, then the division actually would escape the Saints... because regardless of what the Saints do in week 17, and assuming that both the Falcons and the Panthers beat the Bucs as expected, if the Falcons beat the Panthers at home we win the division, and if God forbid the Panthers beat us, they win the division, at which point the Saints would have to fight for the wild card.
So everybody has been assuming that the Saints will win the NFC South... but they still need to play the Falcons. Sure, it's in New Orleans but we beat them already this season and we can do it again.
-----------
I'm happy for the long-suffering Jaguars fans. They clinched a playoff spot today, and their #1 defense will do some damage in the playoffs.
------------
The Rams so far are destroying the Seahawks which is good for the NFC South, so that our division sends three teams to the playoffs.
-------------
Exciting NE-Pitt game, 7-7 so far.
