This guy is the best 12-year-old I've ever seen pitch in the majors, holy cow. -
I always thought Burnett sucked or was at best mediocre. He was one those bizarre guys that just got to hang around seemingly forever just being meh, while sections of the fan base clamored about how he was some unheralded gem of the defense. He was AJ Hawk in the secondary. I can't think of a single significant play he ever made.
-
Peyton Manning played in 4 Super Bowls. We should probably point out that Eli defeated the Packers as an underdog both times he won it. Nobody thinks Joe Flacco and Rodgers are equals because they both have one Super Bowl. There's nuance to it, but there is no way that anybody is going to convince me that one Super Bowl appearance is an acceptable outcome for how dominant Aaron Rodgers was and how many golden opportunities the Packers had AFTER they actually won it.
-
I'm not sure. I think it's Jaire and Bhak not playing despite not playing in the last 3 months or entire season, respectively, or the 200-yard game Tonyan was totally going to have... Nick Collins, unfortunate injury, sure. But has nothing to do with one of the best offenses of all time having like 10 points at the end of the 3rd quarter (Giants divisional). They did nothing that day. Tampa sucked, but they were at least as good or better than the Packers. That's probably the most easily excusable loss.
-
Of course they do, but the Packers had established themselves as the favorite to win the Super Bowl in spite of most of those injuries. Bhaktiari shouldn't even be mentioned, he hadn't played the whole season. In most seasons, the knock on the Packers was that they didn't show up against the elite. Not the case that year, they beat both Super Bowl teams already - they more or less beat the brakes off LA. So we are really trying to pass off Robert Tonyan and MVS as legitimate reasons the Packers, with the MVP QB, couldn't get past a 10-7 #6 seed, at Lambeau Field, against an opponent led by Jimmy Garopolo, an offense that never got into the end zone. It doesn't even pass a laugh test. That game was probably the second biggest GB choke job of the last 30 years behind the Seattle debacle. That game is one of the reasons the Packers could go 17-0 and play the 8-9 Saints in the Divisional and I would still not believe any of the hype until after it's all said and done. I have just about no faith in the Packers to execute when it counts. I don't know how anyone my age does.

Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Jones and Davante Adams need to score 14 points in a home playoff game. If GB Preble kids are on the OL, they need to figure it out. There are banged up teams literally every year. Somebody is missing all the time. Who was hurt when we kicked a FG down by 8 at home in January to Tampa and then couldn't get our defense off the field? What about the year before when we got stomped in Santa Clara? The defense we ran out against Atlanta? Letting Kaep run for 500 yards? Going 15-1 and losing to the Giants, again at home in the snow? Must have been guys hurt all those years too, lol.
-
Score 2 touchdowns with the MVP of the league or max protect a punt, and it doesn't. Losing that game on your home field in the snow against a team from California was pathetic, but I am sure they appreciate your excuse making.
-
I'm on my phone and I don't care about looking back 7 years to research lame injury excuses that every team endures every year. MVS. Seriously MVS. Lmao.
-
Reaching the bottom of the Mariana Trench with our excuses at this point. Every team gets hurt. It's an excuse once. 15 years doesn't work. You're the one who said they lost to the 49ers in 2021 because they were too hurt right? Please. It's just insanity. If ANY other team in the NFL had a 4x MVP during which they never made a Super Bowl, that team would be criticized and rightfully so. I truly don't understand why that's so difficult to do. It doesn't make you less of a fan. No, it doesn't make you "negative." It makes you honest and realistic. The Packers underachieved in the playoffs consistently. It should be very easy for anyone to admit that.
-
That is actually pretty damn interesting. He has the speed and is the prototypical size.
-
Oh so now it's because Rodgers wasn't actually that good? LOL. My god, the delusion of this fanbase to explain away it's failures. It is truly a mental disease. We get to take stats away from certain opponents I guess. By the way, Rodgers never did that a single time, throw 15 TDs against DET/CHI. Detroit was a playoff team a couple of times he won MVP too. Again: Two things can be true at once. The Packers can be better than the Browns, Jets and Raiders of the league, and also guilty of doing less with more. This spoiled fan thing is such an old tripe. Who is spoiled? They've won a lot of games. They've also choked a ton and consistently had bad defenses. They've underachieved.
-
Three of four guys you mention are all under 30 years old. And together, have played in one more Super Bowl than the Packers have in 15 years. Much more importantly, none are in the zip code of Aaron Rodgers. We can play this game all day. Four seasons of literal MVP QB play and not a single SB appearance to show for it, is bad. Two things can be true at the same time. The Packers can be an overall well-managed franchise with a history of winning regular season games, and they can also be one that has underachieved. You should be asking what teams did with Peyton Manning, Tom Brady or Pat Mahomes and wondering why the Packers couldn't do that. Not comparing them to Dak Prescott.
-
It isn't success when your QB wins MVP 4 times and in that span you don't appear in a single Super Bowl. That's bad. It isn't success when your defense fails to rank in the top 10 in that timeframe. That's bad. The Packers had an other-worldly, all-time great playing QB at an insane level as late as the guy was like 38 or something. It's not like they had someone who was "good." They had one of the top 5 to ever do it. Those days are long gone and not worth fretting over at this point. The current team is in a healthy state, but I roll my eyes at the Packers being some crazy successful team lately. If you have a QB like that you have to try to win fewer than 10 games. They underachieved tremendously.

You should probably just quit the site if you can't be positive! They were seriously so, so close to beating Philadelphia! /s
-
It's the Packers. They won't sign a known name floating around in July. The fill-in will be a UDFA from Western Applegate Tech,
-
I think the Vikings are going to finish last. I think the Lions are the paper favorite, but it just gets difficult to sustain that level of dominance over a long enough time and a drop-off wouldn't shock me. I think the Packers and the Bears are closer than people want to think.
-
I don't think it's a blunder. Obviously the league knew this was happening. No incentive to trade for him when he will be released and even if traded, would be seeking a contract anyway. Josh Sutton 2.0, just younger. I'd rather they cut ties then bring an unreliable malcontent back to camp. Not much of a loss when he barely plays anyway. I think this is minimally impactful on 2025. Doesn't change my outlook at all; 3rd place feels about as likely as 1st. Development, the rookie class, and Love's play will determine that. I'm just meh on Jaire.
-
Brewers starting to look a bit more like the team I thought they were before the season. Wasn't planning on World Series tickets or anything but I still thought this was a backend playoff team. They will probably have to claw to get there, but I just didn't want to believe they were as bad as they had been looking. They can't keep this pace obviously but if they can stay out of these 6 and 7 game skis the other way, I think they are definitely capable of 88-92 wins.
-
Peralta is good. I like him. But until he can get through 5 innings without 110 pitches consistently, he's not an ace.
-
Truth is that mediocre teams have won WS titles. Almost always, they can pitch. I don't see it happening, but it does, so I am always very hesitant to just punt a season away, even if you are mediocre, if you are technically a few games out of a playoff spot. To me, you always go for that spot if it's reasonable.
-
I do hope Jaire decides to be a trooper and plays. I would just caution anyone celebrating that to remember that he has barely played the last 3 years. His health is a longer shot than him deciding to play.
-
You make the decision at the ASB. I am not sure what we have to sell though to be honest. Hoskins I guess.
-
I can't believe there's a soul suggesting the Bucks could have won the East this year or anyone still clammering about Middleton "if he was healthy." About the same as wishing they had Kareem "if he was 25." They lost to Indiana 4-1. Why are pockets of the fan base under the impression the series went 7 or something? The Bucks are washed. Their ceiling is the 2nd round of the playoffs if they get a lucky matchup. Their only path out of this is a slam dunk fluke with this year's 2nd round pick.
-
Uribe needed to close the game out. That trumps anything Murphy did. Same thing happened 2 days ago.
