More like a solid kick in the Nuts...

Barr's hit on Rodgers was not cheap or dirty. Was a clean, hard hit. It completely fucks our season, but I can't get on that dirty play bandwagon.
Injury to HOF AR; This is why you need a defense. Goodnight and please bring some new blood to GBs GM and HC + minions of coaches after this season.
This day and NFL and......what anyone might deem as 'reality' is clearly to use the best term:
Fucked !
I'm now weighing in on the early results and the late Sunday afternoon games and Week 6.
It seems like if your favoured to win the game today....your going to more likely lose !
Today and LIFE and the best predictor is simply think ..... backwards...think negative...think poorly...think stupid...think wrong.
We live in an upside down world.
Logic makes 'NO SENSE'. Evil Rules. Stupidity Rules.
All of that has been clearly predicted as will be the case and that is right now.
The Packers and NFL and Football hardly really matters.
So simply eat your Upside Down cake and smile and bear it if your right in your HEART and SOUL
Don't get FUCKED !
Agree that Clay would've taken the shot too. Still doesn't make it 'right'.
And I've been saying I'd be fine repurposing clays salary for a few years now. He seems to miss half the games and just isn't worth it.
Absolutely ! :glug:
The hope and this Season and we had some is done !
This season now falls all on TT and MM and the Position Coaches and the rest of the Staff.
We need competent 'Critical Analysis' as Packer fans. We need forward thinking (if the Packers look really bad) as this Season plays out.
I really feel looking at TT that he looks absolutely worn out. He and MM exist as a two and that Two will as I clearly see it; look bad after Aaron Rodgers.
It was an easy call for me. I have seen numerous broken collar bones in hockey, including to one of my sons, caused the same way. As explained by an ortho to me, with an extended arm jammed the way it was, the force is transmitted to the collar bone, which can break quite easily.
Need new Game Day Thread starter next week.
I agree.
When you know you only have about a 20% chance of winning with Rodgers in there your best chance is to knock him out of the game. Even if Barr had gone too far it's worth it. It might mean the Division and the playoffs.
The Saints made damn sure to maul the QB in 2009. The alternative is no Super Bowl. What's that worth? Barr got the best of both, he took Rodgers out and stayed 'within the rules'. Very smart. I hope the Packers return the favor next time they play.
Shitty assed example. Favre was hit in the pocket after the play and I mean WAY the fuck after the play. Barr hit your man on a routine play, no flag. When he hit him and I bet the majority of people were not "oh, what a late hit"...it looked routine as hell to me...
Either way, they worked. If you can do it legally, all the better. Still, in the NFCC, the refs weren't calling (any?) late hits, so they (mostly) must have been legal. It was a smart play to drive Rodgers into the ground. May have won them the Division. I just hope the Packers take out a couple guys next time they play. Legally.
The tackle on Aaron Rodgers was clean clean ..it was clearly clean.
There was no leading with the helmet and any or severe helmet contact either. Aaron Rodgers was plainly and simply tackled and wasn't driven to the ground.
How anyone could look at the replay of the tackle that ended Aaron Rodgers Season and maybe even threatening to his career success; isn't looking at it with an open mind.
Aaron was vulnerable (out of the QB's Pocket) and the worst case scenario resulted.
I saw the replay again after my post and I see exactly what your saying and the transmission of force from the hand >>> up the arm to >>> the shoulder and collarbone.
I even saw a flashback (in my memory) and the first time this happened to Aaron Rodgers.
Same side of the field and about the same distance out of the pocket and maybe at a greater angle to the LOS.
Lightning striking twice. Really bad news for The Green Bay Packers and Packer Nation. This one sucks so bad as Aaron's time is closing to it's end after this specific re-occurrence. This one really has to be hurting so many and REALLY PACKERS.
If he was trying to drive him into the ground, it would have been a lot more violent than it was. Of course he was attempting to follow through on the tackle, that's what defenders do, given the opportunity. As I wrote before, I was surprised there was no flag, but I'm not offended that there wasn't.
A few years ago the consideration used to be that after the QB threw if a defender could hold up or lessen the blow, he had to. That became difficult to determine when QBs were on the run and a defender was running at full speed to get there. In response the league limited the protections after a QB leaves the pocket. I think that is where this play ended up. In the pocket, it would have been a penalty. With Rodgers on the run, not so clear.
He gave him a solid hit and landed on him with force. I think that's uncontroversial.
I think he knew the ball had been released, could have let up, but didn't. He got in a good hard legal hit and KOed Rodgers. Sucks to be us.
