No comments on here about tonight's game? Aaron Rodgers is looking like Aaron Rodgers - predictably IMO.

Against New England, but he did look sharp.

[MadScientist]

I only watched a little. New England was getting pressure, but Rodgers was getting the ball out quickly and on target. Overall New England did not look particularly good on defense, and their offense could move the ball if they got some big penalties on the defense.

It's not a Jets forum.

[texaspackerbacker]

I don't give a damn about the Jets, but it was nice to see Rodgers play like the GOAT he is. I say again, I bet he plays at a high level to the same age or more than Brady did. Brady in his best years never played like Rodgers last night or for most of his career.

[Patler]

Brady in his best years never played like Rodgers last night or for most of his career.

Brady had six seasons with more yards passing than Rodgers single best year, and eight seasons with more than Rodgers second best year. He had more TDs in a season than Rodgers ever had. They have the same number of 40TD+ seasons, Brady had more 30+ seasons. Playoff success, well.....

I know you are a die-hard Packer fan, and I respect that, but there are lots of other players just as good (maybe even better) than many of your Packer favorites.

So you are saying Brady never had sub 300 yard, 2 TD toss, 118 rating games?

[texaspackerbacker]

So nice to see supposed Packer fans bragging up the other side ...... NOT. I guess Brady musta been a stat whore hahahaha.

[Patler]

Why do you write "supposed Packer fans?" Are you suggesting that "real" Packer fans shouldn't have recognition of and respect for performances of other players? I doubt many Packer coaches would agree with that.

Ole Tex is the biggest homer not seen since Hank Aaron (Bonds abused ‘roid, so his record outta be expunged) - although Tex hasn’t lived in cold, dark and dull Wisconsin since the Ice Bowl.

In Tex’s defense, Butte did play masterful against the Traitors of New England.

[George Cumby]

Thanks, Joe, for posting these.

[smuggler]

I mean, I agree with your point, but the way you're making it is silly. If you're only comparing passing statistics, Rodgers IS better than Brady. The thing that takes Brady's legacy to GOAT status (Rodgers is BOAT) is his greatness as a passer combined with his ability to call a defense and his ability to overcome bad games in the playoffs.

@NFL

Aaron Rodgers' TD pass to Garrett Wilson was the 480th of his career.

It was the first TD he's thrown to a WR drafted in the 1st round.

He has thrown a TD pass to a TE drafted in the 1st round. Big Dog.

[MadtownPacker]

Brady was a stat whore. He tried to accumulate Super Bowl victories. Rodgers favored highlight reel appearances. By my standards he isn’t even the Packers GOAT.

I never saw him play but I would have loved Starr and those teams just winning it all constantly. Then Favre got to two SB so really more a bronze medal type of thing with Rodgers. Which is no shame at all considering the company he is in.

[MadtownPacker]

[texaspackerbacker]

hahahaha This week I'm a Houston fan too since they're playing the team I absolutely HATE most of all which it would help the Packers obviously for them to take down. Come to think of it, I was a Houston fan last week too.

[run pMc]

Rodgers had a nice game. Best game in years. Good for him. It was a rebuilding Pats team, i.e., the equivalent of beating up on the Bears. All the same, he will make AFC games interesting.
I have serious doubts he will be able to play like that all year. Brady played to 45? I don't see Rodgers playing that long.

No, Rodgers is not the GOAT. He might not even be the GOAT Packer (he's up there).
For example, look up Don Hutson and consider what he was doing when teams could barely complete 50% of passes and ran the ball 60% of the time.

Whatever, everyone has an opinion.

[smuggler]

Rodgers wins the eye test, has the metrics too. Brady has the metrics and the championships. They're both all- time greats. You can't go wrong.

[CaptainKickass]

I saw a bit of the Jets/Pats game. Rogers patented eyeroll maneuver is in mid-season form.

[Sparkey]

Good and honest Packer fans could never also be
a Cowboys fan. You are only allowed to also like an AFC team and only the AFC team that could rename themselves Nomads. Silver and Black baby!:jig:

[smuggler]

Bears have three points against the Colts (defense provided that). The Bears are not able to establish the run against one of the most historically terrible run defenses (over the first two weeks) in NFL history.

some of the national talking heads i've heard this year already think caleb looks more like a dud then a stud

[red]

queens look scary good

i thought they were done for when they had to rely on darnold

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Ex Packer great Greg Joseph missed a kick that woulda iced the game for the Gee Men.

[red]

looks like the eagles just stopped the hottest looking team to start the season

[MadScientist]

I hope they are accurate, but it is ridiculous to make that comment 3 games into his career. Going to the Bears and starting right away was about the worst thing that could happen for his development.

[smuggler]

Josh Allen did, too. Peyton Manning did, too. We'll see.

[MadScientist]

Josh Allen did, too. Peyton Manning did, too. We'll see.

Neither of them were drafted by the Bears.

[smuggler]

Touche.

Team makes a lot of difference. Look at Sam Darnold after escaping the Jets and Panthers.

[MadtownPacker]

Bears lose. Life is good.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Bears lose. Life is good.

Meh, Bears losing is normal. Now if the Sheepfucks upset your hated 69ers, life would be tolerable. I win $225 with a Sheepfuck win. ($20 ML parlay, picking Gee Men and Sheepfucks).

[Sparkey]

Bears lose. Life is good.

Might have to tune in to 670 The Score. Bears fans preseason were winning the division. Lol.

No one with a brained believed this. Some said it, but did not believe.

[King Friday]

Perhaps the Bears are just atrocious at QB development. Fields looks surprisingly competent in Pittsburgh.

Then let the sheep get their fuck on my pale brother from the owner’s mother!!

[red]

bears fans think they are going to the super bowl every year until about the second preseason game, then they start to say they will never win again

bears fans are the worst fairweather fans ever

true tory, i was in the local mall last year and i was walking by a rent-all. in the window was a neon chicago bears sign. and i though, "what a perfect thing to rent out"

[Joemailman]

Bears threw the ball 52 times because they couldn't run against the Colts sieve run defense. How bad is that OL?

[King Friday]

Hopefully bad enough to make Nov 17 tickets very affordable.

[Fosco33]

So Williams threw it 50+ times - had 2 pics and a key late fumble that led to fast and crucial points for Indy.

[King Friday]

It is very hard to tell which teams are good or bad at this point. This is starting to look like a season where a lot of teams will be in the 8-10 win range. Playoff positioning is gonna be crazy the last 2-3 weeks.

[King Friday]

Ole Fat Mike will be garnering unemployment soon.

Some coaching hot seats starting to develop. Dallas, Chicago, NY GIants.

Yes suddenly the Packers season is looking back on track.

[Teamcheez1]

Send Brady home and bring Romo back.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Nice comeback by the Sheepfucks!

[MadtownPacker]

Nice comeback by the Sheepfucks!
I had them on my picks then punked out and switch the SF. Still glad rams won.

[smuggler]

Purdy almost had them on that crazy scrramble.

Zebras almost had them with the bogus late hit (replay assistant picked up the flag).

[Fosco33]

Darnold hurt his knee?

[Teamcheez1]

Don’t feel as bad about our run defense after seeing J Taylor ran for 110 yards on the Bears.

[Rastak]

queens look scary good

Me too.

[Teamcheez1]

Darnold hurt his knee?

He got hit low during the game. Will have an MRI tomorrow.

[MadtownPacker]

Me too.
Let’s give it a week of so.

[Sparkey]

Jayden Daniels looks unbelievably good. 21-23 for 254 with 2 min left in the 4th. Thru a perfect ball to McLaurin to give them a 12 pt lead.

Believe it or not, there were some who liked him better than Caleb Williams last year. It would be funny if he turns out to be Mahomes and Williams turns out to be Trubisky.

[Teamcheez1]

On PFT, they said the Commanders/Bengals game was the first game since 1940 without a punt or turnover.

[Fritz]

That would make me so happy.

Add Jax

[Fritz]

Loins fans are so weird. They won on the road in Arizona on Sunday, and on sports talk the fans are all calling in bitching about the fact that the Loins did not score in the second half.

That's like APB bitching that the way the Packers won without their starting QB was too boring for his taste.

[George Cumby]

Lions fans booing Stafford last year upon his return to Ford Field was all I really needed to know about them.
