LOLGASOL@Aaron Rodgers.

[Primetime]

In Rodgers defense that is really not a fair evaluation. Multiple time last season Rodgers put the team in position to win late and the D gave up the game in a heartbeat afterward. Rodgers also pulled off a late win this year already against the Bears.

Its one thing to love Favre and appreciate all he did. He was a leader and elevated the play of others. Rodgers doesn't have that yet. But this twisting of facts against Rodgers is completely ridiculous.


EDIT: lol at the word heart automatically becoming a heart emoticon. So I guess we can't actually use the word heart here anymore. This post looks so gay now. How are people going to take me seriously with a bunch of hearts in my post.

Bottom line was Rodgers had a chance in many of those games. Countless times last year, Rodgers and the offense had the ball, down by a field goal with 2 minutes left and couldn't do anything with it but throw picks and hold onto the ball trying to make something happen that obviously wasn't going to. He did the exact same thing today. The defense was obviously the main problem last year, but leaders make up for that. I forgot about the Bears game this year, he hooked up with Jennings perfectly and needs to do this more often. Even in that game, Rodgers didn't have a drive going, it was just one big play that did it. In the end that's all fine and dandy though because 6 points is 6 points.

How long before TT and MM are run out of town?

Im not saying he cant improve on it. Im just saying its unfair to place that all on him last year when multiple times he did go down and score only for the defense to blow it.

Honestly the truth is somewhere in between. Its not nearly the problem that many people and Favre fans make it out to be and its true its not a strong point for him.

I'm not trying to blame all the problems last year on him. I already said defense was the main problem, but Rodgers really needs to work on pressure situations. He was Peyton Manning in the preseason with his ability to place throws and now he has plays that look like JaMarcus Russell suited up. His pass today to Jones was perfect though.

I don't see anyway that TT doesn't finish out the season. He may even get another season by firing MM to save his own ass.

Personally I would have no problem running MM out tomorrow. Knowing TT, who I am assuming will be the one to make the call, nothing will happen though. My disdain along with many of the fans has been building consistently through the season. He seems completely inept out there, even when they win. I really can't figure out his game plan most weeks.

I think two things may work against MM finishing out the season. 1) TT's need to save his own ass. 2) There are a plethora of highly desired experienced winning coaches available right now (one of whom is a big time Packers favorite). Making the move now may give the Packers a better chance to move on one of them.

Why don't you talk about a QB you have consistently bagged?

Palmer? Brees?
Is it because they have a combined record of 13-2?

LOLGASOL@Drew Brees having 1 playoff win in 8 seasons as starter.

Agreed, but TT needs to make some serious improvements to the team and if they don't win 10+ at least next season, there's no reason for him to not be fired. I'd rather see TT fired than MM though.

If he does buy himself another season it will be interesting to see how he handles himself. Will he finally open up the wallet in FA out of desperation?

I'll say this, if our first round pick is not a LT, I will lose all faith.

He's probably draft a CB of the future, I have no doubt. He's stupid enough to do it.

Well, regardless what happens tonight, hopefully we have a field day next week at Lambeau chasing this guy down.

Not I. What control does the GM have over what happens on Sunday? Getting the right players on the team...

Our team performing like shit is no fault of Thompson's hirings/firings on the roster. Ryan Grant hasn't gotten the ball consistently, the 3-4 switch has been decent but it seems like our pass rush is evaporated. Injury has hurt us in a few areas, losing Finley and Jordy hurts our passing game. McCarthy's playcalling has sucked since those two have been gone. A 5 wide set is something MM likes to use a lot. But running it without the personnel is stupid.

In the beginning of the game, we ran a few short plays and runs and we moved the ball nicely, and then we chuck it, and chuck it again, then Rodgers has one of those plays where he runs and looks for someone and gets sacked. Can you fault him? Sure, get rid of it , or get comfortable with running A LOT, Aaron. But I think its him trying to execute an offense that we cant run without some of the players we are without.

Running a simplified west coast offense is the best thing we can do right now. Run the ball. We have Grant, Green and Jackson. Get the ball to Driver and Jennings and let them make plays. But we've gotta stop living and dying by the big play.

10+ though? I'd settle for a playoff birth. However many wins that may take to get.

 

[Primetime]

With the talent on our team, 10 wins isn't too much to ask, especially with the amount of horrible teams out there, include the one we just lost to.

 

[MrBill]

Rodgers puts up some serious empty stats. He always manages to have big numbers in losses.

Rodger's big stats are about all the Ted Thompson nut huggers have to cling to when the subject of project Favre relocation comes up.

 

[Senser81]

I think he had like 6 chances last season and failed all of them and this is his 2nd this season, both of which he has failed.

Do you have any proof of this? I thought he pulled the Bears game out of his ass earlier this year, so you are obviously wrong on this season's comment.

 

[Nukleopatra]

Aaron Rodgers has started in 24 games, GB has beaten one good football team in that span so far (Indy.) Sorry, I do not consider a T-Jack lead Vikings team as ''good,'' especially when they lost weeks later to the exact same team, but with Gus Frerotte starting. Before I even consider putting this guy in my top 10, much less my top 5, which is laughable right now, he needs to beat some good football teams.

Aaron Rodgers will most certainly do that in the near future, but right now, he is clearly fucking overrated. And I have to say, whenever he does whatever the fuck it is he does in the pocket at certain moments, I laugh every single time.

After last night's game, I think we can consider the Cowboys a good team. They shut down one of the more explosive offenses in the league at home. Let's see if Rodgers can perform against them and lead his team to a victory.

Your offensive line makes me salivate.

 

[JMeist]

How can sacks be Rodgers fault when he has no pocket to even step into? I see other offensive lines make a damn wall against our pass rush. How did he pick up this terrible habit all of a sudden compared to last year? Between the fucking holding calls on every play and pathetic protection it's the offensive line in my opinion. Sure Rodgers takes some sacks..but blaming him completely is a joke. When half of the plays result in a holding call or sack.


I don't know where to find the statistics, but I would be willing to bet our offensive line is the most punished for holding in the NFL.
