I'd play him over Mack..Dallas is stout up front and amazing LB's. Tough running, and Mack ain't very tough.

agree with Treff, and I prob like Mack more than him, but I'd still go McGuire

jets should lose and be throwing a ton, that'll keep him on the field most of the game, as long as he holds up

"Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white!"

Anyone remember back in like week two, a few of us thought Kelce owners might be in for a rough season?? Wow was that WAY off. Defenses adjusted to the outside, big plays, and Kelce has dominated

Fuck those refs on that Mahomes QB sneak. He got in. At least call it a TD and review it. That crew (not just that call) sucked major ass all game

I dont have a dog in the fight but I really thought Mike Williams should have been called for a OPI on the GW TD.

At least they were consistently bad. They screwed both teams, numerous times

I agree throughout the game they were atrocious. It just sucks to see if happen on the game tying TD

I'm sure the NFL loves the fact that both Troy Aikman and Mike Perreira were constantly saying how the calls were wrong in the booth all night.

It’d very clear the level of officiating has been terrible this year. The league needs to find a way to hold them accountable for their performance more than a missed false start. Even though they fired one guy over it several more went unpunished

Can't believe it took till week 15 to finally get it done. Chalk up yet another supreme waste of talent

I think getting them on as full time employees is a step in that direction. If they're more invested in the refs, the refs have more to lose (have taken away). Or, maybe I'm way off base and they got a sweetheart deal where they can't be touched.

Yea, a very tough job for sure as quickly as things happen on the field - and 5-6 guys trying to keep tabs on 22. The league has offered some assistance in the form of scoring replays and coach challenges - - but perhaps haven't gone far enough. .... yet if every play was camera reviewed, the games would be 8-hrs long so perhaps it's just not 100% fixable. Seems I remember someone says, years ago, that there was some form of penalty on 80% of the plays (holding being the main culprit).

 

[Trudem]

I don’t think challenges should be limited. If you have a TO you should be able to challenge a play.

Well, don't disagree - the Mahomes carry (non-call) cost me 6 pts ......

Amazingly, I was right on this one; even a blind squirrel and all that...

Aaron Rodgers suffered a groin injury Week 15 against the Bears.

He said the injury "bothered [him] a little bit" in the second half. There have been rumors the Packers will shut down Rodgers, who has also battled a knee injury all season, now that they are out of playoff contention, but interim coach Joe Philbin seemed to shoot down the idea. "In the general sense, my philosophy is football players are paid to play football games," Philbin said. "That's my general philosophy and overall philosophy whether it's Aaron Rodgers or anybody else." Rodgers has not played to his normal level this season, but the Packers turning to DeShone Kizer for the final two games would be a big downgrade for the entire offense.

Melvin Gordon (knee) said he is healthy enough to play this week against the Ravens.

"I feel good, not 100% obviously," Gordon said. "But we’re going to go out there and knock off some rust and get myself ready for the playoffs." All signs have pointed to Gordon returning this week, and these quotes all but confirm it. Even against the Ravens, Gordon is a locked-in RB1 for the fantasy finals

 

[molsaniceman]

Packers placed Aaron Jones (knee) on Injured Reserve.

Jones suffered a sprained MCL in Week 15, so it will be Jamaal Williams as the Packers' lead back against the Jets in Week 16 making Williams a volume-based RB2. For Jones, he will head into 2019 as the Packers' clear No. 1 running back after posting his second season with a 5.5 yards per carry average. Jones ran for 728 yards and eight touchdowns on 133 carries and caught 26-of-35 targets for 206 yards and one score in 2018.
