Anyone actually.... watching the AFC game? I'm struggling to care.
I am, live in Rochester and am a Buffalo Sabres fan, family are Bills fans. This is the best team they've had since 1993 and can definitely see them winning it all. City will be lit on fire if they win. Definitely rooting for them here.
I've always said to myself if wasn't a packers fan I'd be a Buffalo fan, because they're been trash so long.

standing back from being a Packer fan for a second and knowing the likely-hood of things happening... Can you imagine an offseason with Deshaun Watson, Matthew Stafford, and Aaron Rodgers all wanting out of their respective cities and forcing teams' hands? IF Rodgers gets added to this mix, things are going to get crazy fast. Plus add in guys like Trubisky, Garroppollo, and Dak? Cap is a mess for tons of teams. Going to make for an interesting offseason.

NFL rumors: Lions have taken Matthew Stafford trade calls from this many teams originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

Matthew Stafford is ready to part ways with the Detroit Lions this offseason, and interest in the veteran quarterback appears to be quite high.

How many teams have shown some level of interest in trading for Stafford? NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported an update on the talks during an NFL Network appearance Wednesday morning.

“The Lions immediately began fielding calls from teams interested,” Rapoport said. “From what I understand, almost a third of the league has called the Lions -- significant interest in Matthew Stafford. (Detroit) should be able to get at least a first-rounder there from wherever he goes.”

I read somewhere yesterday that his trade value as it relates to draft value is 1400, obviously some of you know where that value slots up, to me it seems like more then just a 1st round pick, the problems with Stafford and Detroit had more to do with Detroit then Stafford, the article had comments from Barry Sanders, who decided to just retire rather then push for a trade, his issue is the same as Staffords, the team simply will not spend to fill out the roster, or when it does the GM misses on his picks or FA players.

not the same though, at least Buffalo has been to the dance, 4 times in fact, Buffalo = the Vikings, Detroit is much worse, they havn't been to a dance since you where born :rotf:

Never really made this connection, but I think now that it has been made for me, the likelihood of the cap staying flat just moved up considerably in my book.

Man, is everyone’s strategy right now we underachieved last year so we should ditch our veteran QB.

Maybe it's "we've had the best QB and underachieved year after year, so maybe it's time to stop doing the same thing and expecting different results"? I don't think the general consensus is 'drop AR because they flamed out this year'.

BF is talking other teams in general, not the Packers.
