Week 17: Packers @ Cardinals

[PkrsBcksGphsMqt]

When are we going to play next week? I need to know because i'm traveling.

The matchups are going to be:

Packers vs. Cardinals
Eagles vs. Cowboys
Bengals vs. Texans/Jets/Ravens
Patriots vs. Texans/Jets/Ravens

They always go NFC/AFC game each day. My guess is we're the early game on Saturday. Cowboys/Eagles will likely get the primetime Sunday slot.

I thought Fox had the noon Sunday game and CBS the late game? That's why we can't play Sunday, they can't have an early game in Arizona. My guess is we get the 7:00 Saturday night game.

Forgot about the WC time. Yeah, it will likely be Saturday night.

Very cool showing the Packers in the locker room.

Hope its the Saturday night game so I don't have to rush back from Milwaukee on Saturday.

Am I the only one that thinks they kept him in to beat Favre's single season victory?

No. I agree with you. They wanted to make sure he passed Brent.

And I think it ended perfectly. Just enough to knock out Favre yet still keep Dickey's great 1983 season intact as a tribute to that team.

I highly doubt that ever entered into anyone's mind.

It looked to me like the game plan was to give him 3 quarters.

I highly doubt that ever entered into anyone's mind.

Here's the quote from A-Rod:

On coming up short of the single-season yardage record: "I can't say I wasn't aware of that. I knew I was short by the time I came out. But, I will definitely take a repeat of this season and the way we played for the rest of my career. That would be great."

IMO he knew what he needed to surpass Brent. YMMV.
