Nationally, the packers' loss is bigger. Locally, especially for texans fans, the colts beating the titans is better and hilarious.:grin: Discuss.
Probably hurts the Colts more, I could see them beating Jacksonville and tying MIN or STL for the worst record. Packers have a lot of banged up guys that could use some extra rest, and only need to take one of the next two for HFA throughout the playoffs (assuming one of NO/SF win out, if that doesn't happen they've already got it locked up).
Packers have had the easiest schedule in the league. I hope they get exposed in the playoffs against the Saints. Rodgers is a beast though.
Having barely held on to beat New Orleans at the beginning of the year is hardly relevant, as the Saints (Drew Brees in particular) are on a pretty serious tear right now. This is a different team than the one Green Bay faced back in September. I freely admit to being a Saints homer, but I don't see any other team in the NFC with a real shot to take the Packers down. More so now that they've been shown to be mortal.
Since week 4 the Saints have only played 2 teams with a winning record so yes they should be hot. I do agree that the Saints have the best shot in the NFC to beat the Packers. But if the Packers are going to be exposed because of their soft schedule then what exactly are the Saints because their schedule has been just as bad. Go Falcons next Monday though.
If we're counting teams that were winning at the time, it's 6. :grin: If not, you were correct about it being 2 (Detroit and Atlanta), as NYG and Tennessee are both .500 after this week. In any case, I wouldn't make the argument that New Orleans is a better team than Green Bay, but I don't think the gap is as wide as people think it is. Definitely looking forward to the Falcons response to the loss at home back in November. Should be a good game, but I can't see the Saints losing that one at home with a first round bye on the line.
As a Falcons fan I'm not confident about next week game. Falcons have only beat 1 team this year with a winning record and that was against Detroit.
