    Yeah no joke. Lots of hard decisions around the NFL for players like Joe Flacco, Danny Amendola, Jake Long, Steven Jackson, Reggie Bush, Ryan Clady, Jarius Byrd, Dwayne Bowe and more.

    Steve12 The night is dark and full of terrors

    The packers are like the Colts during Manning's later years in Indy . It doesn't matter who they put out there, they look like pro bowlers. Austin Collie, Anthony Gonzolez, etc.
