Cards holding their own against the Seahawks. 5 picks, but still down by just one point. ---

And now the Lions get a gift. Not enjoying this experience at all. ---

How much money is Flynn costing himself tonight? While I appreciate him trying to make that first down, you can’t fucking fumble. ---

Did Matt Flynn just fumble away Green Bay’s last hope? ---

Detroit loses, one down. Looks like I missed something in the Packer game watching Detroit fold up. ---

Flynn fumbled trying to get a first down. Then the Packers went offside on a fg attempt by Pittsburgh, who then scored a td. Now the Pack got a huge return. Flynn’s chance for redemption. ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > And there go the Packers. Can the Bears take care of business tonight? Guest I am an Eagles fan tonight, although I am not too enthused. Flynn missed an open Nelson there in the endzone. ---

Packers thoroughly earned that loss. Turnovers, penalties, poor execution. ---

> [@garygnu](#): > > The Cards need help with the Saint losing at home against the Bucs. That’s definitely possible. The Saints o-line is horrible right now, and if Vacarro can’t go, the defense is going to struggle. Dome sweet dome and all that, but this team just doesn’t have the killer instinct to put teams away the way they did in '09. ---

The refs consistently spot the ball generously for the Eagles’ opponents. It’s maddening. At least the second one was overturned. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-week-16/676960.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-week-16/676960.md?page=3)
