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?

there will be some total horseshit RTP penalties but i think we manhandle them for most of the game 

there might one bs call but its nothing compare to what it would be if this game was played in greenbay so I expect the refs to not really be a factor really.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.

    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
