Lions had the Chiefs at 4th and 1 with less than 2 minutes in the half, instead they accepted a holding penalty. The Chiefs converted and scored a TD before the half.

Lions had the Chiefs at 4th and 1 with less than 2 minutes in the half, instead they accepted a holding penalty. The Chiefs converted and scored a TD before the half.

Loins tied it up on a pick six from what I think was a tipped ball, and now driving down to a first and 10 on KC’s 22.

[beveaux1]

Young receivers drop passes.

[Joemailman]

With Kelce out, Mahomes doesn't really have a receiver he can have a lot of confidence in.

[ThunderDan]

Young receivers drop passes.

If #19 of the Chiefs could catch, the outcome of the game would have been very different.

[MadScientist]

Didn't help that the Chiefs right tackle was tipping the plays.

[bobblehead]

With Kelce out, Mahomes doesn't really have a receiver he can have a lot of confidence in.

With our young crew and now the top 2 being questionable I am expecting an ugly low scoring game for us.

Maholmes was still brilliant. Detroit was scrappy and tough. KC dropped too many passes to win. Typical week one game though. Sloppy and error prone.

[smuggler]

Vikings getting beaten up by the Bucs defense. Two fumbles so far.

Unsure how likely that trend is to continue against other teams (and other defenses). Not promising for fans in the Purple Rainbow City.

[smuggler]

20 minutes into the game and the Steelers have -3 yards of offense against the 49ers defense.

I saw a graphic recently that showed the 49ers have the highest percentage of pass plays with at least one open receiver (offense) and the highest perceptage of plays with all receivers covered (defense). In a passing league, that's pretty good. Add into that they have a good pass rush and running game, they're sitting pretty if Purdy is halfway decent.

Edit: From PFF... https://media.pff.com/2023/09/PR-Week-1-4-768x548.png

[smuggler]

Vikes are going to have to go into Philly on a short week Thursday night to try to avoid 0-2...
...

[texaspackerbacker]

WTG Bucs and Mayfield - damn Vikings lose.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

WTG Bucs and Mayfield - damn Vikings lose.

Sunday Ticket on YouTube ain’t too bad. I might shell out the 499 for it next week. Free trial this week.

[texaspackerbacker]

It should be cheaper, I think. I'm splitting it with my grandson, $389 + tax = $422. Maybe less because we already have YouTube TV, though.

[smuggler]

Yeah, it’s a bit cheaper with YouTube TV, but I ain’t gonna pay, what, 80 bucks a month (plus Sunday Tix price) just use it on Sundays.

[Rastak]

The Vikings will be pushing the Cards for #1 overall in the draft.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

The Vikings will be pushing the Cards for #1 overall in the draft.

Tanking for Shedeur Sanders, eh?

[smuggler]

Vikings are not that bad. Bucs defense is just actually good.

[texaspackerbacker]

I don't know about that. Cousins impresses me as an accident waiting to happen - no discipline like Aaron Rodgers and now Justin Love. And they are worse without Dalvin Cook.

A lot of teams didn't look very good on offense today. It could be a lot of good defense, but it looked more like a lot of bad offense.

[King Friday]

Bad offense is usual week one. No one plays in preseason anymore. The Packers did play this year, and look how much that helped in week 1. Would be interesting to see the stats on teams that played starters more than a series here and there versus those who got some real work in and how they wound up performing week one.

[texaspackerbacker]

A LOT of stupid undisciplined QBs around the league throwing picks all over the place. The Cowboys are benefiting from the Giants stupidity that way tonight.

[Joemailman]

Giants looking good.

[MadScientist]

A LOT of stupid undisciplined QBs around the league throwing picks all over the place. The Cowboys are benefiting from the Giants stupidity that way tonight.

Midgets look terrible in all phases.

[Fritz]

If you’re a fan of an NFC North team NOT named Green Bay, are you wondering if the Packers have the most promising QB in the division?

[smuggler]

Cowboys are actually looking pretty damn good. The fact they can rack up points like that when the offense isn't even humming is a damn impressive feat.

[ThunderDan]

Is Dallas this good or are the Giants that bad?

[King Friday]

Nothing is impressive when the other team just continues to shit the bed over and over and over. The Giants belong in the Big Ten.

[King Friday]

If you’re a fan of an NFC North team NOT named Green Bay, are you wondering if the Packers have the most promising QB in the division?

That should be a given at this point. When was the last time any of the other teams had a truly effective QB that was poised and won big games?

[Joemailman]

Daniel Jones has a passer rating of 10.7. 9-21, 59 yards, 2 INT.

[texaspackerbacker]

If you’re a fan of an NFC North team NOT named Green Bay, are you wondering if the Packers have the most promising QB in the division?

Not wondering, being confident of it. Fields is probably second, and he sure got left in the dust.

[texaspackerbacker]

7 sacks for the Cowboys so far. Collinsworth just pointed out that the Cowboys play Aaron Rodgers next. I hope the 65% isn't in jeopardy hahahaha.

[MadScientist]

Midgets look in contention for the #1 pick. No way Rodgers gets sacked that much. If nothing else he'll throw it away.

[bobblehead]

If you’re a fan of an NFC North team NOT named Green Bay, are you wondering if the Packers have the most promising QB in the division?

After absolutely trashing Goff on the Rams I have a newfound respect for him. Fields just isn't a good enough passer, nor does he read a D. Cousins is okay with enough talent around him, but not a guy who I would pin my Owl hopes to.

If Love continues to play within himself and take what is there he will be the best in the division. He has the best system to work from, and a mountain of young weapons. We will need to revamp the RB room next year. I hope we can get one more nice year out of Jones next year while we replace Dillon.

[bobblehead]

7 sacks for the Cowboys so far. Collinsworth just pointed out that the Cowboys play Aaron Rodgers next. I hope the 65% isn't in jeopardy hahahaha.

I thought Rodgers makes bad OL play look good.......

[texaspackerbacker]

I thought Rodgers makes bad OL play look good.......

I guess you're paying attention, That's exactly what I said repeatedly, and it's exactly true.

[RashanGary]

Rodgers holding the ball again :lol: no wonder the OL looks bad tex

[RashanGary]

Holds the ball 3 straight plays and injures himself. I don’t miss him at all.

[King Friday]

Rodgers getting hurt merely to screw Gute.

[beveaux1]

How crazy is this.

[smuggler]

What the fuck...

[MadScientist]

Damnit! Karen only lasted 3 drop backs.

[King Friday]

Getting rid of Rodgers will be the best move Gute ever makes…a year late but at least he made the call.

[beveaux1]

Rodgers getting hurt merely to screw Gute.

40 and brittle. No offensive line.

[RashanGary]

Literally holds the ball three straight plays. I don’t think love did that 3 times in the whole game.

[run pMc]

Rodgers doesn't last 4 minutes behind the NYJ OL.

Reminder: GB OL is (and has been) pretty good.

Can't say I didn't see it as a possibility; the NYJ OL was pretty terrible last year and isn't much better this year.

[King Friday]

This is why the Jets never win. It isn’t just the QB. They like flashy positions and pay little attention to the trenches.

[Joemailman]

Rodgers getting hurt merely to screw Gute.

He always was vindictive.

[RashanGary]

Getting rid of Rodgers will be the best move Gute ever makes…a year late but at least he made the call.

Two seconds is pretty good. And I’m glad love got to be so damn prepared and had Rodgers to train up his two WRs and deal with the OL problems so the young guys could be ready for Love. I’m really happy how it unfolded.

[run pMc]

Literally holds the ball three straight plays. I don’t think love did that 3 times in the whole game.

maybe the ayahuasca messed with his internal clock? ;)
Seriously, holding the ball is either him being confused by the defense (unlikely), big-game hunting for an explosive play (risky), or nobody is open (possible, but you have OROY Wilson and Packer Legends Lazard and Cobb).

[bobblehead]

Simply. Wow.

[beveaux1]

Hope he doesn’t have a knee.

[Joemailman]

Literally holds the ball three straight plays. I don’t think love did that 3 times in the whole game.

How bad would the Jets offensive line look if Rodgers wasn't making them look better?

[RashanGary]

I truly can’t believe that at 40 years old he held the ball for three straight plays and injured himself. He’s such a pathetic loser.

[beveaux1]

Here comes the cart. Unbelievable.

[run pMc]

This is why the Jets never win. It isn’t just the QB. They like flashy positions and pay little attention to the trenches.

if yesterday's GB-CHI game proved anything, it's that the trenches matter. GB beat CHI badly at the LOS on both O & D.

[bobblehead]

I guess you're paying attention, That's exactly what I said repeatedly, and it's exactly true.

So now?

[MadScientist]

A cart? For that mild tackle? No extra first next year.

[run pMc]

Here comes the cart. Unbelievable.

It's all a planned setup for the Willis Reed re-entry, a la the "MaKnee" game against CHI a few years back. He's trying to burnish his legend with Gotham.

[Joemailman]

Hope he doesn’t have a knee.

He's had a calf this summer.

[pittstang5]

Watched the sack - said out loud, "Same Ole Rogers, holding on to the ball too long."

Saw him gimpy getting up, then he went down to the ground......almost seems scripted.

[beveaux1]

How unlucky are the Jets?

[smuggler]

Sure looks like he hurt his knee when he got twisted down. Shit luck, it was a wide open free rush by Leonard Floyd. Would be very ironic if Floyd ended Rodgers' season, as Rodgers has made quite a living by buttering Floyd's bread in the past.

[RashanGary]

How bad would the Jets offensive line look if Rodgers wasn't making them look better?

:lol: yeah, and it’s so weird that as soon as he’s gone the packers finally got a good OL. These are some all time coincidences. What are the odds?

[beveaux1]

For us, late first or early 2nd makes little difference.

[SkinBasket]

Not to be mean spirited but… Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

[smuggler]

He probably rolled his ankle going down. Glad it's not a knee. He can still get to 65%!

[Bretsky]

Down goes Shitbag

[beveaux1]

They said it was an ankle.

[beveaux1]

Lisfrank

[beveaux1]

Or Achilles tendon

[Fritz]

Here comes the cart. Unbelievable.

Really. You couldn't predict this shit. I say it's a master plan to hold Rodgers out so the Jest don't have to give up a first!

In a more serious vein, I have to agree that, watching Rodgers hold and hold the ball and get sacked or nearly sacked, I thought to myself, "I don't miss that shit."

I was also watching to see if Rodgers was suddenly going to start throwing into the middle, but no. He didn't have the time to get much off.

Woody Johnson's new nickname: "I don't have a" Woody Johnson. Not any more.

Get your ass back out there, Rodgers! Packer fans want you out there, dancing around, holding the ball, getting sacked, eye-rolling your receivers.

[Joemailman]

A little ayahuasca and he'll be fine.

[SkinBasket]

Or his spirit just died because he’s one of the most self centered humans on the face of the earth…

[King Friday]

Hope he can still walk to his seat for all the cool NY concerts and events.

[beveaux1]

Hope he can still walk to his seat for all the cool NY concerts and events.

Not with an Achilles

[King Friday]

Poor Wilson now has to work with Rodgers’ Old timer club. Lmao

[RashanGary]

You know what’s weird too. 2007 Favre at 38 years old took 15 sacks and threw 15 picks. In 2008 with the same OL Rodgers took 34 sacks and 13 picks.

It’s so weird how we can have good OLs for 15 years straight, then OLs instantly get horrible with Rodgers. 15 years straight of bad OLs. And then as soon as he leaves they’re good again. What are the chances of 15 straight years of bad OL play aligning with Rodgers playing QB happening like that?

[SkinBasket]

What pick do we get when the Jets get 3 wins this season?

[beveaux1]

What pick do we get when the Jets get 3 wins this season?

First pick of 2nd round.

[Bretsky]

What pick do we get when the Jets get 3 wins this season?

F'CKIN SKINBASKET !!!!!!!!!!!! How have you been ? Been to any boobybars lately ?

[SkinBasket]

First pick of 2nd round.

Awesome. Thanks, I don’t pay much attention to the details these days.

[MadScientist]

The look on the Jets fans said "I can't fucking believe I bought season tickets. I won't even be able too give them away."

[Fosco33]

That jets oline… smh

[RashanGary]

I can’t believe he lasted as long as he did holding the ball like that

[SkinBasket]

F'CKIN SKINBASKET !!!!!!!!!!!! How have you been ? Been to any boobybars lately ?

I’m doing. Haven’t been to the clubs lately because Nutz won’t come visit because all this being adults stuff. He might be mad at me because I broke his fishing pole last time he was here. Just sent out first born to the Air Force and teaching the little one to drive, so I’ll be a “free man” soon. By that I mean I’ll raise the cows my wife wants instead of the ones that make money. How are you, you classical OG motherfucker?

[Fritz]

The Jets are playing well on defense.

Rodgers, in his very brief stint, looked like the Rodgers of the last two years. Eyes going left, going right, pumping the ball, pumping the ball. Then either sack or throw away.

[Fosco33]

Or this throwback… maybe he comes in 2nd half and does a repeat of this interview.
https://youtu.be/-8opDMUtJ58?feature=shared

[pittstang5]

Ha, bet the Jets settle for a FG after that run.

[RashanGary]

The Jets are playing well on defense.

Rodgers, in his very brief stint, looked like the Rodgers of the last two years. Eyes going left, going right, pumping the ball, pumping the ball. Then either sack or throw away.

Yep.

[bobblehead]

Poor Wilson now has to work with Rodgers’ Old timer club. Lmao

Cue the scenw from Major League. "Who's this fucking guy"

[RashanGary]

Well probably get pick 40-50. The Jets D is good enough to win a few games and Wilson has to be better.

[RashanGary]

The Packers have a weird way of making moving on from HOF QBs look easy.

[RashanGary]

Rodgers playing 15 years with his style of play and having a relatively healthy career might be more impressive than Favre’s consecutive games streak.

[Fritz]

The Packers have a weird way of making moving on from HOF QBs look easy.

EASY? That was like pulling teeth, or getting a divorce.

Rodgers's x-rays negative, but declared out for the game. My fellow professional medical experts, what is it?

[Fosco33]

As soon as I saw the replay - I said left foot/toe. Could be anything and he’ll get an MRI. Lisfranc would be worst case, ankle sprain the best.

[RashanGary]

I do think it was worth it keeping him last year. The last two years we actually did have some OL problems. I mean, minor relative to some poverty franchises, but not ideal like we’re used to.

And Doubs and Watson were rookies.

I’m really glad Rodgers played with those issues so Love could step into this situation.

[King Friday]

I wonder how many stat overlays and video snippets had to be jettisoned after crusty musty got a boo boo?

[bobblehead]

At least now we can witness the true genius of Nathaniel Hacket

[beveaux1]

As soon as I saw the replay - I said left foot/toe. Could be anything and he’ll get an MRI. Lisfranc would be worst case, ankle sprain the best.

How long would he be out with a lisfranc?

[RashanGary]

Coach said it was an ankle

[Fritz]

Zach Wilson suckin' ass. And Rodgers out - for at least today, and who knows?

Lotsa pressure, Zacky - it's all on you, baby! ALL ON YOU. Feelin' any pressure, Buddy?

[MadScientist]

EASY? That was like pulling teeth, or getting a divorce.

Rodgers's x-rays negative, but declared out for the game. My fellow professional medical experts, what is it?

Sprain, no lisfranc. Possible avulsion fracture as those are hard to see on an X-Ray. Likely out next week, could be out a couple more beyond that.

[Fritz]

Guter lookin'n like a genius for one night. Bet he's gonna try to get something something from the wife tonight.

[MadtownPacker]

You know what’s weird too. 2007 Favre at 38 years old took 15 sacks and threw 15 picks. In 2008 with the same OL Rodgers took 34 sacks and 13 picks.

Shut yo azz up, if we go back to those years post you are blowing Rodgers like he gave you $20 at truck stop. I have been saying about his holding on shit for a decade plus.

[MadScientist]

How long would he be out with a lisfranc?

At his age, he probably wouldn't.

[MadtownPacker]

The comments are brutal

“If he never plays another snap for the Jets, they might still retire his number.”

[SkinBasket]

Shut yo azz up, if we go back to those years post you are blowing Rodgers like he gave you $20 at truck stop. I have been saying about his holding on shit for a decade plus.

Brown people getting no credit.

[run pMc]

Lisfranc would be season ending and possibly career ending at his age. Stokes had that plus a knee issue IIRC and he was in a wheelchair for like a month.
Reports are that Xrays are negative but as mad says it could be something hard to see. My uneducated guess is ankle sprain and he's out 2 weeks. Could certainly be longer. Tough for the Jets, but anyone who pays attention knew they had OL issues, and putting a 40 yo QB behind that line is asking for trouble if he holds the ball.

65% is ~11 games, I believe, so there's still a chance at that R1 pick. They are probably about the same as last year (a 6-7 win team) without Rodgers, so if the 65%/R1 threshold isn't hit GB should still get a top 50 pick. Not as nice as a R1 pick, but if Gute gets a foundational player it won't matter.

[MadtownPacker]

Brown people getting no credit.
Telling you…

But yeah after all my years of hating his ass it is nice to step back the past year and watch former worshippers of #12 to attack him. :lol:

[Joemailman]

Rodgers misses 6 games. Jets go 0-6. Rodgers comes back, plays 65% of snaps. Jets finish 6-11ish. Packets get top 10 pick.

[MadScientist]

At least now we can witness the true genius of Nathaniel Hacket

I thought we did that last year in Denver.

[smuggler]

The stillframes in this video make it seem like it might be an Achilles injury.

[SkinBasket]

Serous question… if you only kill Troy Aikman or Greg Olson, which one would you choose?

[texaspackerbacker]

Hell yeah, Joe, that would be the best case hahahahaha.

Rodgers was a damn traitor for wanting to go, and the God damned Jets enabled him. Fuck 'em all - karma.

[SkinBasket]

Hell yeah, Joe, that would be the best case hahahahaha.

Rodgers was a damn traitor for wanting to go, and the God damned Jets enabled him. Fuck 'em all - karma.

I don’t know who you are, but you should really wash your mouth out with soap.

[call_me_ishmael]

Some real sick puppies in this thread, looking at you Tex. Who would ever want to see someone get hurt, especially someone who gave you so many years of great memories. Twisted.

[MadScientist]

Wilson doesn't look like he learned how to be good by watching Rodgers.

[smuggler]

Serous question… if you only kill Troy Aikman or Greg Olson, which one would you choose?

Aikman without a second thought.

[SkinBasket]

On a related note, it appears Rodgers is using Grecian Man? How humiliating.

[SkinBasket]

I’m assuming that espn guy talking to Peyton has cancer? He looks like a KKK skeleton.

[Bretsky]

I’m doing. Haven’t been to the clubs lately because Nutz won’t come visit because all this being adults stuff. He might be mad at me because I broke his fishing pole last time he was here.

YO; doing OK

Two kids are UW Madison and one a HS hoops star.

Still working as a mortgage lender while my wife enjoys the world being a self employed sports photographer.

I wanna go back to the OVAL office soon....road trip ????

[MadtownPacker]

Serous question… if you only kill Troy Aikman or Greg Olson, which one would you choose?
I would make both give commentary on why he should live.

[bobblehead]

Some real sick puppies in this thread, looking at you Tex. Who would ever want to see someone get hurt, especially someone who gave you so many years of great memories. Twisted.

Yea, thats just fucked up. Him getting hurt will cost us the 1st!

[SkinBasket]

I wanna go back to the OVAL office soon....road trip ????

I got to bring the younger kid up there in Oct or Nov so he doesn’t complain about the noise from downstairs. maybe we should coordinate a nutz meeting if his wife will let him. Things get complicated (read: annoying) when you’re putting your kids first don’t they?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Serous question… if you only kill Troy Aikman or Greg Olson, which one would you choose?

I'd kill Aikman using the corpse of Greg Olsen

[SkinBasket]

This Zak Williams isn’t very good is he?

[SkinBasket]

I would make both give commentary on why he should live.

I’m picking up what you’re putting down, but you’re sabotaging the question.

[Fritz]

Serous question… if you only kill Troy Aikman or Greg Olson, which one would you choose?

Yes.

[Joemailman]

A lot of people, after looking at replay, are thinking it might be Achilles.

[texaspackerbacker]

Some real sick puppies in this thread, looking at you Tex. Who would ever want to see someone get hurt, especially someone who gave you so many years of great memories. Twisted.

hahahahahaha Call me evil - as many have, but I just can't help rooting for injuries on teams I hate or just don't care about. And as for the damn human side, those bastards make so damn much money, even the least of them, that it's a risk they take.

And as for Rodgers, when he goes into the HOF in a Packer uniform, I will cheer for him again. For now, though, he's a damn traitor (if you believe the damned media reports, he WANTED to leave the Packers), and other than the 65%, I don't give a shit and in fact am rooting for the worst for him.

And fuck the shithead who wants to wash my mouth with soap hahahahahaha.

[King Friday]

The grass is rarely, almost never, greener…even on a team that wears a lot of green.

Father Time is undefeated, but karma isn’t far behind.

[Fritz]

A lot of people, after looking at replay, are thinking it might be Achilles.

If it is, then the middle of next season would be a remarkable comeback for a 40+ QB. So say I, Mr. Expert Doctor Guy.

[SkinBasket]

And fuck the shithead who wants to wash my mouth with soap hahahahahaha.

I don’t want to do it. I think you should do it yourself to be a better man. Or a man period. Not trying to be mean, but you are rather crude in a very unsexy way. You’re like a silly retarded guy, without the charm. Improvement emoji here!

[Fritz]

Jets' D is tough. They tackle well.

[SkinBasket]

https://cdn3-whatculture-com.cdn.ampproject.org/ii/F6/s/cdn3.whatculture.com/images/2021/04/07fddf15ce442351-1200x675.jpg

Don’t you mean her? Even if I don’t approve of her short skirt.

[Fritz]

I wonder if Rodgers's ego will be hurt if Zach Wilson can do enough for the Jest to win.

[SkinBasket]

Do the Bills have a punter? Although this approach appeals to me, you should really try it on 4th down, not 3rd.

[texaspackerbacker]

As good as Josh Allen is, even he plays a stupid game as a QB - throwing into coverage. I may be hating on Rodgers right now for being a traitor, but he wouldn't have thrown that pass. Hopefully Jordan Love learns to play that way (the Rodgers way) too.

[SkinBasket]

Jets' D is tough. They tackle well.

Bills ain’t looking too too bad either.

[Joemailman]

If it is, then the middle of next season would be a remarkable comeback for a 40+ QB. So say I, Mr. Expert Doctor Guy.

If it's a ruptured Achilles, he's done for this year and maybe for a career. If it's a strain, he could be back this year.

[smuggler]

Could also be a partial tear of his calf, which would be very much on brand for Rodgers. It definitely looked like the kind that would require surgery, though. No way he plays this year in that case.

[Fritz]

Guter's IQ going up with every dark prediction on Rodgers's future.

[SkinBasket]

Goodness. Do the jets have a third active qb?

[Joemailman]

Goodness. Do the jets have a third active qb?

Namath is probably there.

[SkinBasket]

That was a terrible punt.

[Fritz]

Joe Cuck said the Jest elected not to put Tim's Boyle on the active roster tonight, so Randall Cobb would likely be your Jest QB.

[ThunderDan]

Wow, was at my kids game, listening to XM on the way home and hear that ARod only made it 3 plays.

[ThunderDan]

That catch was unbelievable.

[MadScientist]

Wilson is a pretty good receiver.

[ThunderDan]

I thought the Ravens TD catch was best ever. One day later, I think this catch might be better.

[RashanGary]

I was rooting for Rodgers. Told my gf before the game I thought he could have an amazing year. Said i can’t stand him and I like him at the same time and even though he’s a dick, I want him to tear it up and flex on people just because I get a kick out of that shit.

And now I’m so pissed at him for being a stubborn ass. Get rid of the damn ball. He deserves that shit. Everyone knows not to stand back there and hold the ball when those beasts are after you. Total freaking moron.

[RashanGary]

And the fucking dumb ass doesn’t even have a friend of more than two years. What the hell is he gonna do after football? He’s such a moron. 3 plays in a row clutching the ball like a dumb ass. How the fuck did he last this long?

I just feel sick for him. I’ve seen him overcome so much hate from the ridiculous Favre fans. And it was so fun to see him flex on doubters and the chips in his shoulder. It was even fun seeing him play an idiotic brand of football where he dodged rabid animals instead of doing what any other sane person would do and find the safest 50/50 toss.

This is such a sad way to end his career. I’m just sick. I don’t care one iota about the draft pick. I’m just sad to see such a stubborn, arrogant ass hole have the one thing he was good at taken from him.

[MadScientist]

Wow! That was a hell of a return for the Jets. Still hope it's their only win if Rodgers is done.

[Bretsky]

I got to bring the younger kid up there in Oct or Nov so he doesn’t complain about the noise from downstairs. maybe we should coordinate a nutz meeting if his wife will let him. Things get complicated (read: annoying) when you’re putting your kids first don’t they?

Yes, this kids first thing drains the wallet and your space....lol........I would be GAME !!

[Joemailman]

Robert Saleh says they fear it's a torn achilles. Whatever someone thinks of Rodgers, that's tough.

Damn, sorry Aaron.

[KYPack]

You heard it here first dept....

Next year we play the AFC East in Lambeau for our AFC games. 2 games that is

Chance it could be the Jets, Kids?

[texaspackerbacker]

And the fucking dumb ass doesn’t even have a friend of more than two years. What the hell is he gonna do after football? He’s such a moron. 3 plays in a row clutching the ball like a dumb ass. How the fuck did he last this long?

Careful. That fool is gonna want you to wash your mouth with soap too hahahaha.

Traitor to the Packers that he is, and I hate him for it, Rodgers is highly intelligent (I'm not being sarcastic) and an excellent speaker. He'd be a far better football commentator than pretty much anyboy out there now. And of course, he likely will have a wide range of options outside of the football world.

For it to be the Jets, Packers and Jets have to finish in the same place in their division. I think Jets will have a hard time staying out of the AFCE basement, even with their win tonight.

That's only for the two NFC divisions we don't do the full tour with. The 17-game schedule is:

6 division games
4 against one NFC division (2023 - NFC South)
4 against one AFC division (2023 - AFC West)
2 against similar-ranked NFC division opponents (2023 - Giants, Rams)
1 bonus AFC game for glory and broadcast revenue (2023 - Steelers)

Nice start job knocking the mailman off his delivery route. He’s been way too arrogant lately anyways. I didnt want to be the one to tell him he was wrong again. Pretty much a 50-50 chance iat home or in New York but I’m guessing the NFL would schedule it to be at Lambeau for the drama.

If yer into NFL conspiracies (like Inner Earth and Reptile People (https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/deshone-kizer-aaron-rodgers-asked-me-if-i-believe-in-9-11)), you'd have them schedule the game at Lambeau just late enough for 8 to have finished rehab and early enough not to quit or blow it out again.

[MadScientist]

Rodgers is done for the year and possibly forever.

Hope the Jets don't steal McGough, who is probably better than Wilson.

[smuggler]

I'm incredibly depressed about Rodgers getting hurt.

I tore my Achilles in '21 and I did the same move, where I wanted to take a step, realized I couldn't, then just sat my ass down.

[King Friday]

There is a reason the Green Bay Packers offensive line is so good. It was to protect Rodgers. But he got all worked up over the team picking Love…doing the prudent thing for the franchise long term just in case. His own hubris caused this, and I don’t feel sorry for him at all. Too much ego, not enough common sense.

You are wrong. They alternate home and away against the AFC division opponents. We played the East in 2022, last year. Won’t get the Jets until 2026 unless we get them in the 17th game calculation

[run pMc]

Yeah we just played AFCE last year, I think it's AFCN next year?

As for Rodgers, tough news. He had a calf injury during TC, wonder if that contributed to it. As others have said, an Achilles means he's done for the year and possibly for good. I don't wish injury or misfortune on him. If this is it - and I doubt it is - he had a hell of a career.
Personally I think he'll rehab like crazy and make that his weirdo thing. Not quite Russell Wilson rehab weird, but close. He's got that shoulder chip along with the diva mentality, seems like he'll give it a go...plus he can tell anyone who listens that it proved a multi year commitment to the NYJ.

I do think a serious injury like that is inevitable for any QB approaching 40. Very few last that long, and basically everyone who plays in the NFL gets a serious injury. Zach Wilson is not a great QB and GB should expect a top half R2 pick next year.

Also - is the Josh Allen is a great QB actually true or hype?

[Fritz]

I think Rodgers is going to rehab like a madman, and the NFL will use that 17th game scheduling option thing you mention as their way to schedule Packers-Jets during the middle or maybe the latter part of the season. If there’s money to be made, the NFL will figure out how to make it.

We had the Jets at Lambeau Field last year.

In 2026, we play in NJ.
In 2030, we play @ Lambeau

Only way to play in a different year is the 17th game match up.

[Joemailman]

I didn't read KyPack's post close enough. The Packers can play the Jets, and if they do it will be at Lambeau:

https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/news/when-could-packers-play-against-rodgers


When the NFL added a 17th game to the schedule, it created an additional AFC-NFC matchup. As part of the schedule rotation, the NFC North will host the AFC East in 2024, with the first-place team playing the first-place team, the second-place team facing the second-place team and so on.

So, if the Packers and Jets finish in the same spot in the standings in 2023, they’d meet in Green Bay in 2024. That’s not totally absurd.

[bobblehead]

My expert keyboard opinion is that Rodgers did NOT rupture his achilles. He got off the cart and limped in the tunnel. Guys with a ruptured achilles don't even limp in my experience. Of course I said guys whose heart stops after a blow to the chest don't stand up and take 2 steps before collapsing and Hoosier corrected me with a study saying Pigs can do it so I could be wrong.

[Fritz]

Joe posted a link to an instado with a podcast or site and he claims it could be achilles or it could be a lesser, but related, thing that is not so serious. Guess we'll know by Wednesday or so latest.

[SudsMcBucky]

Confirmed it is, indeed, torn. Out for the year, and possibly forever.

[texaspackerbacker]

There goes the 65%. I forgot the terms of the trade, is it only the second in '24 or is there another second in '25?

[RashanGary]

2023 2nd
2024 2nd

That’s what we got since he’s done.

[RashanGary]

I think it was worth it. Rasheed Walker looks like a legit above average LT. This is Bakhs last year. We have options at center if they give up on Meyers. And Meyers is probably average if you compare him to the rest of the league and not what we’re used to.


Rodgers dealt with the last couple years of average OL play. Love steps into an ideal situation the way things played out. I’ll take the lower picks for Love to get to learn in an ideal situation. And the receivers are ready now too. Love is in the perfect spot for a first year starting QB and that wouldn’t have been the case a year or two years ago. Rodgers dealt with the issues for him. Thanks 12.

[run pMc]

there was the R1 pick swap also, that doesn't sound like much but moving up in R1 usually costs you a Day 2 pick.

JSO cited some 2021 study by some Foot & Ankle Institute or whatever that stated 24% of players don't make it back. He's going to be 40 in December and has an injury history.

Feel bad for the guy. Feel bad for the fans too -- dude didn't even complete a pass for them.

The play where he got hurt he was holding the ball. Was a 3 step drop and Wilson was open but it looked like he double clutched it and tried to look elsewhere and by then it was too late. Both tackles were doing lunging/cut blocks, so either they are both complete trash or they weren't expecting him to hold the ball. Rodgers tried to do Rodgers stuff that hasn't worked much recently, and this time it got him seriously hurt. An Achilles injury is no joke.

[run pMc]

I think Rodgers overall had pretty good OL play in GB. Guys like Billy Turner, Rick Wagner, Jared Veldheer that they brought in played pretty well for them. Last year to start the season the OL was rough, mostly because they started Jake Hanson and Royce Newman -- basically everyone in this forum was screaming about what a bad idea that was AND THEY STILL DID IT. Both Bakhtiari and Elgton took until mid-season to round back into form from injuries, which isn't that surprising really. At that point the OL improved.

GB's OL has had some garbage games, but if you look at their performance over a season, or season by season, they rank pretty well. Maybe not top 5 but usually Top 10 which isn't nothing. As you watch other OLs around the league you'll likely agree.

[run pMc]

2024: Kirk Cousins is not brought back and the Jets trade Rodgers to Vikings. History repeats itself.

Kidding. It's unlikely they trade him given his cap hit and what they gave up for him.

[texaspackerbacker]

Does it occur to you that none of those guys with the possible exception of Turner ever did much anywhere else after they left the Packers? That reinforces the idea that Rodgers made the O Line look good. Were they really good then? Are they really good now? Did Love also have enough mobility and quick release to make them look good? Or was it just one game - against the sucking Bears - and things will be different going forward? I guess we'll see.

[ThunderDan]

I thought the Ravens TD catch was best ever. One day later, I think this catch might be better.

Not Ravens, Jaguars for the first TD catch.

He’s had Clifton, Tausch, Sitton, Lang, Wells, Lindsley, Tretter, Bulaga, Bakh, Jenkins, Runyan and several other solid players. There were some average years mixed in but never bad. And usually top 10 and several years top 5.

[run pMc]

Agree. They've also had pretty good OL coaching and/or scouting. The fact that they have been able to get Day 3/UDFA players to be more than competent tackles is more than the vast majority of teams can boast. Usually you're trotting out a R1 pick at OT or overpaying for one in FA. Being able to find and develop guys like Tauscher, Bakhtiari, Njiman, and now probably Rasheed Walker says something. Getting "good-enough" out of guys who were more or less washed up is noteworthy.

Yes, QB play certain helps, but you can't ignore the OL is still performing well with Rodgers gone.

[MadScientist]

It was more noticeable early in Rodgers career, and late in BF's career. Often (especially under Campen) the OLine looked dubious at the start of the season, with the QB helping things with quick throws, and some escaping. By the end of the season, the OLine was playing well and people were saying it was good, forgetting the start of the season. Lately the OLine has been more consistent from the start of the season, but Rodgers was holding the ball longer looking for the perfect play, so pressure would eventually get there. Behind a poor line, that tendency was an accident waiting to happen. Unfortunately, it happened almost immediately.

Agree with this take. Early on, I was not a fan of Coach Campen. He either needed a few years to figure out how to coach the players, or he needed better players but eventually he turned into a pretty good OL coach. Personally I think Stenovich is an even better OL coach, and probably a bit overmatched as an OC. Luke Butkus as OL coach is ok, I think he's figured it out after working under Stenovich.

If you have an iffy OL, quick throws and three step drops can frustrate a pass rush. Eventually the defense will figure it out and adjust, but that's the chess match. Rodgers was holding the ball on at least two of his dropbacks and the OL wasn't expecting it. Got himself hurt looking for that early killshot. I think that's been a flaw with Rodgers for years - he'll pass up the good play to wait for the perfect play...but that big play may never materialize and then you have to either YOLO or dump it.

I started saying it mid season last year. Josh Allen is way over rated. He is turning into post Holmgren Brent Favre.

Rodgers OL has been peppered with Pro Bowlers and alternates his entire career. The guys mentioned did things BEFORE they were with us. They were stop gaps to shore up a weak point for a year or 2. Or depth pieces. You are the only guy on the planet that thinks Rodgers had subpar OL play in front of him for the better part of his career. That should be a hint you are probably wrong.

Pretty much my point. He made a LOT of O Linemen past and present seem better than what they were. BTW, you may be correct about the prevailing opinion in here, but there are a lot of people outside of here who see Bakhtiari and some others about the same way I see him.

[bobblehead]

Since Bak is a perennial all pro i would say you are incorrect.

Plenty of folks are doctors without holding a medical degree. Just gotta be smart enough to get into a
Ph.D program and write a clever doctoral dissertation. Shit costs tons of frogskins, though, which handicaps tons of smart folks from ever being doctors.
