Well, that is at odds with Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson or Allen Lazard who have heaped some pretty lavish praise on a guy 15 years older than them. It's pretty clear watching Hard Knocks and Enigma that Rodgers is very well liked by his teammates. The same 2 names pop up every time this "Rodgers is a bad teammate" hot take reappears, Jennings and Finley. And we can throw in how gracious he was with Jordan Love in there as well. Maybe Mike Williams isn't a fan, I don't know, but the consensus seems to be that Rodgers has very high expectations and expects people to be film addicts and be where they're supposed to be. Not uncommon stuff. The guys that embraced him being kind of a jerk like that have been very handsomely rewarded and credit him for a lot of their success - David Bhaktiari, Jordy, Davante, and Marshawn Lynch in the new doc saying he "elevated him to a different level." Jordan Poyer credits Rodgers with helping him beat alcoholism. Rodgers being a "bad teammate" or disliked by his peers simply isn't supported by the facts or reality no matter how many different media personalities shout it from the rooftops. He is a person, so I'm sure some people dislike him as with any person, but I have seen far more evidence he is liked than that he is not. I can't remember where I read this, but even one of these reporters who thinks he is a bit of a weirdo said himself something like "But I have to admit, I've never met a teammate of his who didn't like him."

Rodgers is well-liked by the players, despite what blabbermouths on ESPN would have one believe. I think he's back in NY next year, 70% because of the sunken cost, and the reality that even if they cut ties, they'd still not be very good. It is probably worth running it back, especially if they continue playing well offensively like they have recently. Get the right coach in there, get that defense back where it should be, and just hope they are above average. If you're going to spend a bunch of money and not be very good either way, you might as well do it with a QB that has been adequate.

It's annoying that the game doesn't count. I get the reason for that, math, but give it something. Automatic tiebreaker over anyone you're tied with at end of year.

Probably get a call from the league office about not pouring champaign everywhere

I'm getting a T-shirt like the true sucker I am.

Catching up on the last couple pages: Rodgers play hasn't been bad this year. His demise is greatly exaggerated on a very bad team. He may not be the MVP QB he was, but IMO he is still in the top half of the league. As someone who unfortunately watched too many Jets games, he is still throwing dimes on a weekly basis. It's been a bad year. There have so many bizarre moments where he throws a great pass only to have it bounce in the air or something and get taken back for a TD. He has, at times, made worse throws than we are used to. That is always a byproduct of losing, frustration, and trying to make something happen. That said, he's 41. I don't know that there is a team out there that wants to deal with him at 41. I am not sure he will be able to find a home if he wants to continue playing, other than maybe the Jets running it back? This experiment would have worked if he were walking into the situation Brett Favre did in Minnesota, which was the expectation, but he wasn't. Favre put together his best statistical season there, but nobody thought that was the best version of Favre. He still had enough juice to excel in a watered down role, that's where Aaron is, IMO. He is not even the top 5 worst problems on that Jets team. I would bet on the Packers to beat the Lions if that matchup happens again. Just a gut feeling. I think the Packers are ascending and have not thrown their best punch at them yet, and I think Detroit is in a struggle health-wise. Philadelphia is a better defensive team. I think they are the favorites, and a visit to Philly in January would be more difficult for the Packers than a dome.

Cus it worked

I am feeling Super about this squad. They are looking good, heating up, finding a rush, they can run the ball...my NFC favorite is Philly but the Packers should be in the running and tough to beat. Let's go 💪

Incredible catch and a gutsy throw. I love Love. That is a throw that can go very wrong but he just believes in himself.

You'd probably net like 20 yards by punting there. Getting stopped doesn't really change anything.

Now here is one I would definitely go for.

Off the mark a lot... 18/23

NFL coaches seem to treat challenges like going for it on 4th down or something that isn't verified via video. The number of times you hear one day "we figured it was worth it," as if it isn't a binary thing. I guess it's not, but you know what I mean. That said the IGT is funny. Seattle has done absolutely nothing on offense. The Packers would have to genuinely try to lose this game. Not like we haven't seen that before in this building 😂

He's had 3 fumbles, 2 lost, including that one. That's probably above league average given the volume he takes.

In game threads are hilarious

That is his second fumble of the season

I would always make the decision that requires the other team to get the ball an extra time. Kick the FG. A touchdown isn't a kill shot. It's marginally better than a FG.

How does an NFL player backtrack to the 6 to do a fair catch? There are kids in 8th grade that know better.

Dreaming of a scenario in which the Lions drop to 5 and lose to Tampa again in the first round.

I am ok with it. High snap, QB decides if he waits another second the guy will be open...things happen. You gotta make sure you extend a possession lead going into half, especially kicking to start the 3rd. Love took way, way too long to snap the ball on the prior play.

Maybe. I'd feel a lot better with 5. The NFL clocks have a tendency to burn a second when they shouldn't.

Probably have enough time to run one QUICK play and still kick a FG though.

You gotta kick the FG. I hate it, but you have to. It's an extra possession.

Death, taxes and abhorrent clock management in an NFL game.

That sure looked like touchdown #3
