    I just think Harbaugh is becoming the 49er scape goat for this season, when I believe it was injuries, suspensions and Kaep's regression that killed you guys.

    Even if Harbaugh didn't have a big hand in defense, it still was his program, regardless. I think he deserved another 2-3 years. If he continued regressing, and losing ground to Arizona/Seattle, then I'd consider a coaching change.

    Not after one 8-8 season.

    I hope Rodgers is okay when they play against Dallas this weekend, he looked pretty banged up in the last several games. Although I would be fine with any team winning.

    Dallas has to play with a lead, or be within a score of Green Bay to have a shot.

    There's no way they'll stick to the run if they're down to Green Bay. And there's no way that they're going to slow down Rodgers.

    I know Dallas fans will point to the comeback against Detroit, but that will NOT happen against the Packers.

    Some of the play calling by Dallas was REALLY bad, almost as bad as Detroit's.

    And Green Bay, with a lead, will stay aggressive, unlike Detroit.

    Just pointing out that the NFL admitted to f---ing up those calls too and not just the two calls that went against the Lions that have been blown up in the media all week.

    Dallas could slow down Rodgers if he's not near 100%. I heard a report that they basically have no idea how he'll feel Sunday, they know he won't be 100% but they have no idea if he'll be 95% or 50%, so a lot is still up in the air as far as that game goes.

    Sounds obvious but Rodgers health is the key factor in that game to me. It also wouldn't surprise me if Dallas goes after him early and often, lays a few big hits on him and gets in his head a bit.

    Can we discuss the Seattle vs Carolina game though? lol

    Does anyone give the Panthers any shot, and if so, why?

    h--- nah, I'm surprised they made it this far. I was shocked that they beat Cardinals, still pretty pissed about that too.

    31-28 Ravens
    27-24 Cowboys
    34-21 Broncos

    I've accepted that Dallas won, and I'm OK with it, and don't blame the refs as much as I do the Lions...But, missed calls happen in literally every game. In the case of the Detroit/Dallas game a flag was thrown, announced, ball moved, and then the penalty was taken away. That is one thing I've never seen, and that is where the problem lies. Like I said before, all things considered, I don't think the flag ever should have been thrown. But it was, and it was enforced. If a flag is never thrown, it's just another missed opportunity, like the hold on Suh, the 7 calls they admit to missing against Detroit, and the countless other calls against both teams that were undoubtedly missed throughout the game...But they were missed calls, not calls that were made correctly, enforced, and then nullified.

    No pocket passing QB has gone "ham" on this Pats secondary.

    What are you basing this off of?

    - GB by 12 (28-31 pts for GB )

    - Seattle by 9 (No more than 21pts by Seattle)

    - NE by 9 (27-18 Final...Don't known how they get to that score, but these two are going to make for a f----- up, entertaining game)

    - Denver by 6 (Highest combined score of the weekend. Denver gets 35-38 pts)

    @Arch Dogg

    I need more of an explanation.

    How do you see Flacco going "ham" on the Pats? This makes no sense.

    The ONLY way I see this, is if Revis gets injured. Otherwise? LOL

    I can't see the Ravens beating the Pats by passing a ton, I think if they are gonna win it's gonna have to be a solid rushing game and forcing the Pats into a couple turnovers.

    The Ravens have the Pats number in the playoffs. I think they're 3-1 against them in the postseason in the Harbaugh era, and that one loss was the Lee Evans drop/Cundiff miss game. Plus Flacco just has a knack for getting it done in the postseason. I don't think he'll fill up the stat sheet but I think he'll be extremely efficient. I say over 250 yards, 2 TDs, 0 turnovers.
