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... "

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
