Man, it's about time. Love will only be the third Packers QB to start a playoff game since 1993. The Bears have had five in that time frame and the Vikings have had 12. It's about time the Packers landed another one! :bounce:

You can't just go to another team and have a better shot at the Super Bowl. I mean you can, but it's FAR from a guarantee. Most of the season I didn't think Brady could win it all in Tampa. But then I saw how much pressure the Tampa defense put on Rodgers in the championship game and I knew it...

"He's still gay", says every Patriots fan defending Brady being straight.

I'm sitting on some Tony Eason rookie cards. If they don't pan out, my retirement is screwed.

Laces out!!

How about a nice 8-10 minute scoring drive by the Rams here.

3-3. Next team that scores, wins. Anyone want to bet otherwise?

I still have the game on, but damn, I can't continue to give it the same attention I normally give a game. Just. Too. Boring.

I remember when former Packers TE Tom Crabtree was asked what his favorite SB halftime show was. He said it was the one for SB 45. When asked why, he said it's because he was in the locker room when it was happening.

So you can nail a receiver the same time the ball gets there to prevent the catch, but if the receiver actually does catch it you have to give him time to make a move? Doesn't make sense.

Fair enough. Remember the emphasis is on "prior to" a game. It extends well beyond this site but we'll have to see what the future holds.

I know there's no official record of it, but I think it's fairly obvious that Vikings fans lead the league in complaining about the refs prior to a game.

I don't like the idea that they fired him that night after the game. At least wait until the next day. But I have no problem with it mid-season like this. Not only does this allow the Packers to test out Philbin, but it also gave McCarthy freedom to start fielding phone calls and weighing...

Actually, according to Over The Cap website, The Packers can free up $3.6 million in cap space next year, and significantly more the following years, by cutting him. So, it really makes sense that he is done in GB.

I completely got this feeling myself. Oddly, though, that last scoring drive which consisted of short, high-percentage passes, was pretty effective and the team really looked like it was putting in the effort. The play-calling never had that kind of rhythm for the rest of the game. And the...

True enough. Never any guarantees. But those other guys had to get used to a new coach and new players. Rodgers will still have most of the guys he played with this year. The smart money is definitely on him remaining successful and productive.

I misread your first post. I read it as you were saying Rodgers was trying to get McCarthy fired. But yea, I see your point. I noticed last week that Rodgers got some flack for throwing the ball deep downfield on a 3rd and 7, and missing an open receiver, short, that could have picked up the...

Meh, Payton Manning did pretty well in Denver. Kurt Warner did pretty well in Arizona. Brett Favre did pretty well his first season in Minnesota. Joe Montana did pretty well in KC. Rich Gannon did pretty well in Oakland. I'm sure I could go on.

Practically the entire offense played uninspired at times. I think all targeted receivers other than Graham had a drop or two. The O-line had lapses as well. And yes, Rodgers seemed uninterested at times too. And McCarthy has been under-performing in his play-calling. At the same time...

Well, Rodgers is 100% correct about the pro bowl. Most players are there for the money and the vacation and don't give a crap about the game. So maybe he shouldn't voice what everyone already knows. Good point. Donald Driver commented that Rodgers doesn't cover for the receivers when they run...

"Don't go right"? Interesting term. He will limp for a couple steps every once in a while after taking a hit. And I may have seen him do it once or twice total in the last two games. And now he throws teammates under the bus? Weird how this gets brought up every once in a while, yet really...

True, but the knee still isn't 100% healed either. I know I've had knee injuries that never required a brace, but as it got better, I could move perfectly normal until it got bumped or I moved it wrong just a little bit. I guess my point is that if people want to think he's faking, go ahead...

Or here's a thought. The brace he was wearing was designed to prevent his knee from moving in certain directions. Ergo, it was made out of more than just velcro and neoprene. Very likely made out of some kind of metal alloy for the frame. When he gets tackled or hit, or moves awkwardly, I...
