With nothing to play for it's weird, but GB won't play they're next game until 2 weeks later?
Thanks Cheddar
for some reason you look at just the QB's instead of the teams itself. If you want to talk about the Packers playoff shortcomings , it would be a more reasonable discussion..
Or maybe look at the reason the other team won..
for example ..
Tampa won the championship game last year mainly because of their defense....pass rush was great and the difference.. Same with SB....Mahomes didn't choke in that game either because he had a bad game.. Offensive line without their LT was ther main problem.. sometimes you have to look deeper than trying to find something to pin on the QB..
You've made your disdain for Rodgers pretty clear on this forum , even making a big deal out of Rodgers talking about his vax status on his weekly show... even starting a thread about it...
Again, not sure why you care so much about me criticizing Rodgers
Rodgers is 100% a part of the reason why the Packers have fallen short in the playoffs. It is a team game, of course, but Rodgers has played significantly worse in those NFC title games than he has in the rest of career. That is an indisputable fact.
Tampa's defense was huge, but the reason the Bucs even sniffed a Super Bowl last year was Tom Brady. He went to Tampa Bay and completely changed their culture. That had way more to do with them being in the mix at the end then their pass rush rising up at the right time. The Bucs are nowhere near that position if Winston was their QB.
I don't think they're in that position if Rodgers is their QB. Rodgers is nowhere near the leader and teammate that Brady is, despite the talent. That's why I don't think he is nearly as successful if he is in New England with Belichick. Don't think Rodgers buys in to the team concept as much as Brady does.
If you want to continue this, let's do it in another thread.
For the topic of the thread: I expect Rodgers to play a couple series to stay in rhythm.
Even now Rodgers is -400, that's being weighed down by this narrative. Journalists are more bark than bite, the last thing they wanna do is make Rodgers into some sympathetic figure which he would be if they tried to screw him out of a professional accomplishment because of a disagreement that has nothing to do with football.
I think it is over.

That’s the question. I’m not super high on the Rams either. The jury is still out a bit on Stafford. I feel like it won’t be a good postseason for him but he still is relatively inexperienced with having high expectations in a playoff setting.
I still think the Bucs can piece it together with Fournette returning, but they have been a little inconsistent and Godwin is probably Brady’s best weapon. Not sure how the AB absence will affect them overall. I picked Tampa to win it all, but definitely not feeling good about it now.
Dallas matches up well with Green Bay. I think they could go in and win a tight ball game there, as long as they’re committed to the running game and get Zeke/Pollard going early. I’d probably pick Dallas on the money line there
Hell, I think pretty much every team in the NFC playoff picture can beat them in Lambeau aside from Philly and New Orleans (if Saints get in. I think SF could give the Packers problems too if they play with Lance)
