You don't think the Chiefs will get him that record if he's close? [Reply]

He just doesn't have the resumé.
That 2010 Super Bowl team was the last time Rodgers played with a defense that ranked in the top 10 in either points or yards. They were 2nd in points and 5th in yards.
That 2011 year they went 15-1 but they had the a defense that ranked 19th in points and 32nd in yards and they lost their first playoff game. [Reply]

You sure about that? I think the Chiefs might need to run the table if they want home field advantage on the Patriots. Guess we will see how many losses both teams have by Week 17. [Reply]
It really depends on what the Patriots do. Since they have the tiebreaker on us we have to stay ahead of them in the standings. Given how much better the defense has looked at home I'm sure they'll do whatever it takes to try and get homefield. [Reply]

Pats have a much tougher road to go but yea thats possible. I was thinking division race. Damn I need to remember the stakes here. :-) [Reply]

Patriots schedule looks pretty soft to me. Seems like most of their tough opponents are/were home games. Only tough game remaining is on the road for the Steelers. [Reply]

Not only are we liable to be playing for HFA week 17, but I don't know if I like the idea of my starters going 3 full weeks without live game reps. If you think you will have a bye, at least play them a little bit to keep some rhythm. [Reply]
