    Fins and Raiders don't have the fan base they used to back in the 1970s and 80s. No bandwagonning there in decades. Nobody cares except the die hards and they are less and less.

    I watched 5 minutes of NFL this weekend and both games were over in the 2nd Q.

    I do not expect the game between the packers and the steelers will stay at NBC.

    If Fox have not protected the game between the Saints and Rams,I think this game will be on the SNF

    They are still there..... they just don't care too much this year. The move to Vegas and the Kneeling seems to have robbed the whole team of focus. The real fans are disinterested because it. Count me as one of those.

    I suppose that happens with any team - my interest has dropped off when Steelers seasons fell apart early (e.g. - 2003 & 2013)

    I'd like to know how A.J. Green escaped getting suspended for that meltdown that he had. I mean seriously NFL? I don't give a shit if Ramsey was talking bad about his Mom the whole game. Going all WWE on him with two take downs, choke holds and multiple punches thrown merits a suspension of at least one game.

    Yeah, I wonder who he has pics of. I am truly surprised he didn't get suspended.

    I'm interested to see Hundley's progress with the ones. If Rodgers were playing, I'd be all over the Packers. But for tonight's game, I give Detroit a slight edge just because of Stafford.

    Detroit needs to win this game if they want any shot at the playoffs. Maybe Riddick gets a hundred yard game, it would be the first for Detroit in like 59 games or something like that.

    What's that, 100 yard rusher or a win at Lambeau?

    If both happen it would probably be investigated by the Catholic Church for validity that it indeed was a miracle.

    Winning at Lambeau is not a signature win when it's not a HOF QB who is the starter of the packers!

    Packers are a bad team without Rodgers. Lions up 14-0

    A team without a plan B!

    Their defense can not carry their teams.It's like the 2011 colts without Manning.

    That doesn't mean I want four of those games in a row. It's the team that wins the game, not the time of day or evening.

    Good point and I'm sure the game against the Packers is not going to be in primetime.

    Nobody will want to see the packers without Rodgers.
