Rodgers was trippin' outer space stuff, seeing God, surfing the galaxy, but all Fields could do is conjure up a field of summer daisies haunted by The Thin Man.
No me gusta Rodgers but like I expected he still has something in the tank. Probably be his last season so we should root for him to win the vikings, cardinals, seahawks and rams games the jets have coming up. All potential playoff teams that Santo Eron could provide help on. So get your ayahuasca ready when you come out of the darkness.
That was his best game in years. He's got some good skill players around him, they could make some hay. Beating the Pats isn't a monumental accomplishment - they are in serious rebuild mode. I suspect Buffalo or Miami will pose a bigger challenge, and the NFCW games aren't gimmes.
Either way, good for him for having a good game. It makes the AFCE interesting, but as a GB fan I'm glad to be rid of Rodgers-drama.
Maybe I'm being a curmudgeon, but I also have serious doubts about his ability to play well and stay healthy once the weather turns cold (at his age).
Ian Rapaport reporting that Davante Adams to the Jets is finally happening. Raiders will get a conditional 3rd round pick that could become a 2nd.

This is a desperation move at this point, but one that's understandable. When the Jest traded for Rodgers and signed Cobb and Lazard, they were putting all their money on the table for the chance to make a run, starting last year and probably through this year and next. The owner, Woody Johnson, is 77 years old and probably doesn't want to wait for a rebuild.
To me, it's a losing formula, but for the owner, it's a shot at what he wants, so he's rolling those dice. I'm not sure the Jets' problems can be encapsulated by "If only Aaron had his favorite reciever with him in New York!" Having watched the last year or two in GB with Rodgers, this is just more of the same, except Rodgers is two years older now.
Jester’s #2 rock catcher is Alan Fucking Lazard, a glorified TE. Adams will help their offense immensely.Quote:

Just...wow. Reports are it's a 3rd, that could become a 2nd. Given it's likely this is a rental for the rest of the season that seems pretty high. Adams cap number jumps to 35M next season, I can't see the Jets wanting to/being able to carry that number and would be surprised if Adams gave up money to stick around.
This would seem to indicate that they restructured Adams' contract to lower the cap hit for the Jets the next couple of years.Quote:

This makes a lot of sense (Adams wanted a trade, LV needed to get something for him), but it also makes no sense and perfectly explains why teams like NYJ and LV are usually bad.
Next year they'll have Rodgers, Garrett Wilson, Adams, Lazard, Hall, etc. there and hire some hotshot like Ben Johnson... and then ignore the OL again, get Rodgers killed and still stink because they have to play a backup QB like Brett Rypien for half the season.
Also - Rodgers came very close to breaking 300 yards! That Hail Mary sure helped his numbers.
Ben Johnson's probably going to be a hot commodity, and it's hard to imagine anyone in his position would want that mess. You're stuck with an aging Rodgers who wants to run the offense HE wants to run, weird-fitting pieces, and a now unpredictable, impatient owner.
That was a remarkable game. I counted the Jets losing it five separate times, yet remaining in there. Two very fine throws and very fine catches by Jets receivers, one for an apparent TD, another down the middle of the field late, were taken away with very hard hits from defenders. Good throws, good catches, better defense. Two very makable FGs off uprights by the strong-legged but streaky Z-Uihlein (he delivers fast and hard, but late). Countless errors on defense, including not respecting the possibility of a QB keeper on a critical third and short. I mean, it's not a Troy Aikman statue back there.
That Jets team is good enough in talent to make the playoffs, maybe even win that division as it looks today. But you can't lose Division games at home like that.
As a fan, I'd be happy if they weren't my team. Too frustrating to watch.
Meanwhile, the Bills have regressed to the mean a bit. The talent looks weaker over there.
I think losing Diggs and Gabe Davis hurt them a bit, and they have lost some other players and gotten older. They are still a good team and should be expected to win the AFCE with Miami being as they are.
The Jets are a maddening team, agree they have lots of talent and beat themselves. I don't think Saleh was a bad coach, I suspect he had a lot of cultural stuff to fight as well. I'm not sure Rodgers and Hackett are going to help that a lot. They have playmakers on O and a good defense, but they need to figure out their OL and the coaching there. I suspect there is quite a bit of ownership meddling... I am very grateful the Packers don't have that.
As not an AFC East fan, this looks like the owner or GM playing Madden and wanting to make moves because they look cool.Quote:

I don't know what kind of shape Aaron and Davante will be next year, but it won't be as good as their best Packer seasons.
Is this a tweet from Randall Cobb?Quote:

I can't imagine him playing with GB's receivers last year LMAO.
The Jets are a collection of good players who don't play good together as a team.
My god. How shocking.Quote:

i just saw the video of him throwing williams under the bus
just wow
said he was going to throw to lazard, but he was triple covered. so in his awesomness, he decided to throw a no look 40 yard pass to williams. but jesus saw out of the corner of his eye that williams wasn't running the right route. so jesus had to adjust at the last second (causing the ball that was thrown into double coverage to come up way short, making williams slip trying to get back to it)
if williams hadn't slipped he wouldn't have even gotten a hand on the ball since it was such a shitty throw
and now williams is being traded
sounds like jets fans are starting to catch on to his bullshit though
so glad he's not our mess anymore
the video is on this page

I think the throw was good. Williams got lost.
Sounds like I’m gonna have to catch some jets games now. This all is too much fun to miss.
Who triple covers Lazard?:doh:Quote:

I wish some of these older QB's would follow his lead. For every Tom Brady, there are a bunch of Rodgerses and Rothlisbergers hanging around, showing flashes of brilliance but mostly showing that time catches up to even the greatest.
How many tens of millions $ does it take to outweigh the prospect of some vague distant future potential problem? I empathize a helluva lot more with the risk takers.
Rodgers career earnngs are well north of $300M, approaching $400M. He's a shell of the QB he was 10 years ago, but that's not exactly a shocker. It's hard to hang up the cleats, I think it may take a bad injury or ugly half season to do it. It's not far off. Hes taken some vicious hits (by today's standards) behind that OL. Meanwhile, GB's OL has given up 8 sacks in 6 games.
Yeah, the press conference after was surprising, I guess I'd gotten used to QBs taking responsibility for picks or bad plays, not blaming your teammates. Do not miss that circus. The NY media much eat that up.
Here you go Guiness. AARon central.
Touché. I should have looked beyond the first page of threadsQuote:

I can't watch the Jets. I'm not the guy who slows down to see the wreck on the side of the road since I was 17. Driving down 29 I slowed like every rubber necking idiot to see the commotion. A guy (assuming it was a guy) on a motorcycle had taken an atrocious spill. He was a busted up bloody mess. Its been a lot of years, but that image is still stained into my brain. Now I keep my eyes forward and drive on by without being curious. I won't be catching many Jets games this year.
Posting here because I'm not industrious enough to start a Week 14 thread:
I've always wanted to say that I believe Pick-6s are less about a quarterback's quality of play and more dependent on personnel and playcall. The only thing I think is more on the QB's shoulders is to realize in that formation, there's no "cover 2" help from running back or flankers if he tries to force a throw -- so don't try to force a dang throw in a non-critical drive.
Rodgers had an empty backfield and 3 or 4 spread-out receivers. Even nimrods like me know that's going to be a short throw that's begging to be jumped. There was only one offensive player who had a chance of tackling the DB before he zoomed past the offensive line. But because 10 guys were nowhere near the dude with a head start in the other direction, Aaron Rodgers is an even worse quarterback than if someone tackled the DB.
