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... "

    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings. 
    • Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
