Wonder who Rodgers blames this week

the little diva has got no one to blame but himself. he threw 2 red zone picks that were pretty damn awful. that was one of his worst games ever.

Tom Brady hits the 100,000 passing yard mark for his career. Crazy. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say his passing stats plus his 7 Super Bowl victories and 5 Super Bowl MVPs will never be matched. Big limb. I know.

really sucks to hear, sounds like Rashan Gary may have torn his ACL vs the Lions yesterday. He's been budding into a defensive star for the Packers. 9.5 sacks last year in just 12 starts and he was off to a great start this season with 6 sacks.

Mahommie came alive just when he had to in crunch time last nite.He had some great runs or precise throws.Late in the 4th it was 3rd and 17 and he wandered around behind the line then packed it in and ran for 19yds and a 1st.Then he ran for a 15 yd TD and KC converted the 2pt to send the game to OT.And Kelce was clutch also when needed

Rodgers looks like he just does not care anymore lol.

Agree, Aaron doesn’t care anymore. He’s only bothered we can all tell he doesn’t care.

My theory is Aaron Rodgers mentally checked out of football back in 2018 during a season where the Packers went 6-9-1 that included a 3-7 finish and firing of Mike McCarthy. I think Rodgers was ready to be done with football four years ago and instead wanted to content himself with other interests such as health/wellness retreats, hippie girlfriends, and clowning with Pat McAfee.

However, because Aaron is rather intelligent, self-aware, and not wanting to throw his natural gifts aside, he calculated it was worth sticking it out another few years to cash in on a major payday. That same offseason Aaron signed an extension that was re-extended a few years later, topping $150M over a three year period. He’s currently in year 2 of 3 and is fully guaranteed $59.5M for the 2023 season.

I believe Aaron has knowingly been going through the motions since 2018 but we’re only noticing his decline this year because until now he’s been physically gifted enough to go through the motions and still win an MVP. Which his explains his regular season success before his last few years of hitting a wall in the more intense and physical playoffs. He calculated he could fool us all 3 years of his $150M payday. He only fooled us until year 2.

Tom freakin' Brady.  Not like I haven't seen him do that before, but it's no less impressive.

speaking to mdot....nothing would make me happier than for the comparison between Burrow and Brady turn out to be apt, but Brady is his own animal and I don't think we'll see anything like him anytime soon.  Burrow would be lucky to be half of what Brady has been.  Hell....he'll be lucky to survive the first 5 years in the league, given the abuse he takes.

yeah I'm not saying he will be Brady, no one ever will. having said that, I think he's the closest young QB to Brady, and he's one of the 3 best young QBs in the league and right up there with Mahomes and Allen.

Lamar Jackson is throwing dimes this drive. That TD pass on the run...WOW. 

Lamar is BY FAR the most exciting player to watch in the NFL and all of football really, and I don't think it's particularly close. He's basically a taller more accurate Mike Vick. I think he's actually faster too. The guy is a fkng cheat code at QB. He's got to be the fastest guy in the NFL or one of the 3 fastest- and he freaking plays QB.

Ravens have looked great this QTR. If David Ojabo- who was just activated to the active roster and who would've been a 1st rd pick if not for getting injured at his Pro Day- can start coming on towards the tail end of the season + the addition of Roquon Smith to that defense....Ravens could be a legit Super Bowl contender. AFC is freaking loaded man.

Apparently ABC and Amazon put all of their eggs in the Saints and Broncos basket.  I feel like they have a monopoly on all of the off Sunday games, and both teams suck

Saints actually have a pretty good roster and defense. What they don't have is a QB. My god does Andy Dalton suck. Problem is, so does Jameis Winston. They might have the worst QB room in the leauge. I feel like you drop an elite QB on that roster- they're a contender.

Broncos on the other hand are just ass. Russell Wilson looks cooked, washed up, shell of his former self. Pete Carroll looking really smart to get rid of him probably a year or two early. It's always best to get rid of a player early than late.

Lions F'd up by beating the Packers. They went from having the 1st pick in the 2023 Draft to the 5th pick if the season ended today. Right now if the season ended today, the Lions would have the 5th pick and the 12th pick (Rams) of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Will Anderson looks out of sight now. Texans and Panthers are #1 and #2, my guess is they both take QB's. Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, or Will Levis (LOL). Raiders pick 3rd and Steelers 4th- no way both pass up on Will Anderson.

Dream scenario for the Lions is they tank, wind up with a top 3 pick and the Rams continue to suck and they wind up with another top 10 pick. Take Will Anderson with the 3rd pick and Jalen Carter with the other top 10 pick. Move to the 3-4. IF they can score Jack Campbell from Iowa in the 2nd or 3rd rd, their entire defense changes over night in 2024 and you have the foundations of a NASTY front 7.
