Where do we go from here?

I wonder if the Packers are one of the two other teams besides the Vikings who are interested in Pat Shurmur (Fritz Shurmur's nephew).

I'm not sure I understand all the Pat Shurmur enthusiasm. He was not hugely successful as a coordinator. His best times were as TE and QB coach, having a hand in Donovan McNabb, Sam Bradford and Chad Lewis (Pro Bow TE).

You do get WCO with the Andy Reid connection, and nobody completes short passes for long drives (and then FGs) like Andy Reid's team.

On the other hand, the Packers clock management would get worse by osmosis.

Aaron Rodgers has pulled out of the Pro Bowl and gave injury as a reason. I figured he was just using it as an excuse because he didn't want to play in the Pro Bowl. But Jason Wilde said he has talked to someone inside 1265 who says Rodgers has a legitimate injury. That would raise some questions:

Was Rodgers' reduced accuracy this year due to an injury?

Do the injury reports mean anything? He was listed on the injury report in November, but I don't think he had been lately.

Can he stay healthy for a whole season? This would be the 3rd year in a row that his play in the 2nd half of the season was affected by an injury.

Nobody in the NFL really stays healthy for the whole season.

Pedigree. That, and familiarity. The same reasons other coaches keep getting hired over and over.

One of the things I have always disliked about Rodgers was his lack of durability. But he started every game this past season, you can't ask for much more than that. I'm sure he was a little banged up, every player is after a certain point in the season. I give him credit for toughing it out, even if it made him play worse.

It does for me.

Lol Nutz would much prefer more picks. Magical logic.

More picks from Rodgers? Absolutely!!!

Really How insanely irritated must you all be that Rodgers would rather skip a fourth down pass into Jones than putting some mustard on it and trying to get it by the defender? ITS FOURTH FUCKING DOWN!!!

a pick six ends the game, doesn't it?

Shh. Don't worry about those silly details. Focus on RISKS!!1

You're right, there is always worse

I agree with this. At that point in the game it sure seemed like an incompletion would have the same result as a INT.

But to show that we would both be wrong, after the incompletion the Packers were still able to tie the game and take it to OT no matter how unlikely.

ARod looks a tad weak sometimes.

His mind and arm don't connect.

He made some wanna be throws this season that looked as weak as an Elemetry School Girls first attempts to throw a football.

I mean ...........sick throws in the suuulllltchhh category. You know "did that really happen? Did I really see that muff?"

It looks to me seriously like NO SEX. He's a frustrated .................................................. ....person

Then give him something like 50-65 yards to hit with the BOMB and he's totally out of this planet strong.

Right ...On... THE ... MONEY.

It's confusing....??

Where does this team go from here?

They get healthy in the offseason. They draft about nine or ten guys. We all get excited around OTA's for that undrafted free agent who makes every play.

July comes around, and we go through another season. We hope the team stays healthier this time. We hope they catch a few breaks. We hope it's a tough team that plays through adversity.

Team goes to the playoffs. Then it's a crapshoot.
