Week 17 Thread

- With all the "RUDY" cheers, you might have thought you were at a Notre Dame game for a while. Rudy Ford might just have earned himself a nickle back gig simply because unlike every other Packer DB, he can actually catch the ball. Yeah, I'm looking at you, Stone Hands Amos and Greased Palms Savage.

Hands aside, Ford look like the quickest guy on the field a couple times, it was really impressive.

Pollard is clearly the better back, but Zeke is much better in pass pro. Still, some team will sign him as a two-down back and he could continue to improve at pass pro.

Packers also released Amari Rodgers (and Kylin Hill) today

He was great in pass coverage - agree on his pretty incredible range. There's improvements to be made in run D - he was well out of position on a few running plays, but that's something that can be fixed pretty easily. Given how poor our pass coverage has been at the safety position, this was really encouraging.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports all Bills players and coaches have arrived at the airport and are scheduled to take off for Detroit at 4pm EST.

The Bills' team jet is scheduled for liftoff within the hour after the Buffalo community came together to get the players and staff to the airport. Buffalo had their scheduled home game moved to Detroit in light of the record snowfall experienced in upper New York, but over 77 inches of snow made getting the team to the airport the next hurdle to overcome. Final updates will be provided once the team reaches Detroit.

The Bills will play the Browns in Detroit on Sunday, then the Lions on Thanksgiving.

Weird stat - the Vikings are 8-2 and basically have the NFC North locked up - but they are -2 in point differential on the year now.
