Kind of an interesting stat. Even Justin Fields has had a 300 yard game in his last 24 starts.Quote:

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.
