Oh, and remember the play where some Broncos guy headbutts a Bills player after the party, while the Bills player had no helmet on? Goes uncalled, with the refs looking at it
Awful illegal contact call against Woods on a 3rd down stop (Denver gets a touchdown when it should of been a field goal.)
Legal hit by Gilmore on a 3rd down pass to Sanders...Broncos get a TD instead of an FG.
Holding called on Bills INT return down to the 20, bringing it back to their own 40
There are more bad calls, even the announcers had no clue why the refs called the 11 penalties. Basically, the refs gave the Broncos 8 points, it should of been 17-16 bills...
GB is an average team on the road, they lost to the Saints, Lions, and 1 other team on the road. They beat the Vikings and Dolphins by 3 points on the road...
My take is that it was definitely one of those games where you are like "holy crap we are getting screwed by calls". I think every fan knows these games. Each team typically has one every year. You just hope you can over come or that it comes at a time that isn't that costly, and not in the postseason (think Seahawks vs. Steelers super bowl. Ouch!)
With that said, I hate putting it on the refs so ultimately I got to put it on the offense. They could only muster 3 points. Even when the defense created two turnovers that could have sparked drives.
Packers always put out a dope sheet before games. Top part won't be of interest but if you page down all the notable connections are I think! I always find it interesting that some teams have many more connections than others. I didn't want to cut and paste that portion, not sure what the rules are here but I think links are o.k.!
Of the last 4 games, this one concerned me and after seeing the vanilla defense the 2nd half Monday, could be closer than fans expect. No excuses for their recent close road games, however, Rodgers played with a bad hammy in New Orleans. If you keep him pinned in the pocket, not what he likes. When you think about the Saints, Packers did lose to them. Any given Sunday as they say!

Pretty much every NFL team is average on the road, minus the Cowboys who somehow are 6-0 on the road.
Road records of some of the best
Broncos 3-3
Chargers 3-3
Patriots 4-3
Cardinals 3-3
Seahawks 4-3
Eagles 3-3
Packers preseason goal was to be undefeated at home & split the away games, which is what they're doing exactly. 7-0, 3-3. Packers could lose this week & win next week at Tampa & still split.
Week 15:
Bills over Green Bay - This is a game the Bills need, and if the Bills play like they play in Q4 against the Broncos (scored 2 TDs in Q4 against the Broncos) the whole game and the defense shines, the Bill could win.
Falcons over Steelers - The Steelers always play horrible to losing clubs, and lost 2 games so far to the NFC South. Also, they lost to the Jets.
Bengals over Browns - The Bengals need to run away with the AFC North.
Raiders over Kansas City - The Raiders won against KC once. But if KC does win, the Bills could still get in at 9-7.
Patriots over Dolphins - The Patriots need to run with the AFC East.
Jaguars over Ravens - Even if the Ravens win, the Bills get in at 9-7.
Chargers over Broncos - If the Broncos can lose, the Patriots will steal the 1st seed and sit their starters Week 17.
Colts over Texans - The Texans will finish 9-7 if all works out.
Jets over Titans - If the Jets win, the Bills strength of schedule increases significantly.
Bears over Saints - Same as above.
Week 16:
Vikings over Dolphins - The Vikings could pull away with a win, and known for playing tough.
Chargers over 49ers - If the Chargers win, the Bills strength of schedule increases.
Texans over Ravens - Anything is possible...
Bills over Raiders - Easy win for Buffalo.
Bengals over Broncos - Broncos get hit even more.
Packers over Buccaneers - Increases strength of schedule.
Steelers over Kansas City - Steelers play well against teams over .500.
Patriots over Jets - Patriots need to run away with Seed #1.
Week 17:
Browns over Ravens - Bills hold the tiebreaker over the Browns, and the Ravens will be knocked out.
Chargers over Chiefs - The Chiefs need to go bye-bye.
Bills/Patriots - Game isnt important. If the Patriots win in Weeks 15/16, the Pats will probably sit their starters if they clinch Seed #1. If they dont sit their starters, Pats win, no doubt. No matter what, Bills are in.
Jaguars over Texans - If the Texans win, Texans make #6 seed.
Come on Pizza. No way Bills get in at 9-7. They have a better chance of going on a six game winning streak (which would get them to the super bowl by the way) then making the playoffs at 9-7.

Sunday is a must win game against the Pack.
