I'm not sure how they count drops, but from a subjective point of view I wouldn't characterize the team as having a drop problem. They have had a few key/impactful/highly visible drops (Donte's 4th down short TD drop, MVS had a couple deep ones), but in all drops have been pretty rare. Even from the point that Rodgers had a 70+% completion rate would indicated you don't have much of an issue. I'd be surprised to find them to be one of the worst.

Nope. Cowboys at 31 then Steelers. Packers at 20 and AZ Cardinals with 9. So dead in the middle. Would be curious to change that to drops/attempt... I'm sure we would show up even better there. http://scores.nbcsports.com/fb/tmleaders.asp?range=NFL&type=Receiving&rank=232

Fixed. Not sorry.

FWIW, a friend of mine is a nurse who is about (today?) get her second shot. She posted on facebook asking her friends about reactions to the second shot. She had about 6 people mentioning bad bad headaches, stay in bed for a day, etc.. in response. None were sad that they took the second shot, but there were plenty of people experiencing the effects.

I'm glad there was at least a "positive" reason for doing this, but he needs to realize that he makes himself look like a tool for when he did it in the game.

You might want to check out free streaming services like Roku, Pluto, Tubi, Vudo (walmart), etc... The often have an assortment of older movies to watch (with some commercials). Hulu also has a lot of older TV series and movies. I get it free (with limited commercials) through my Sprint/T-Mobile cellphone service.

We just got Disney+ over Christmas and finished season 2 last night. I agree with the Season 1 vs 2 thoughts. During Season 1, I kept thinking "Baby Yoda is cute, but the rest of it was 'meh'". Season 2 was better - probably because they had better development of other characters; both friends and enemies. Though, I'm still disappointed that the took his helmet off. It kind of spoils the mystique of it. The real question is if they can survive season 3 without Baby Yoda (sorry, his real name is irrelevant). Personally, I don't compare the movies to the series -- they are different formats with different purposes. The movies had a shorter time to tell the story (compare Episodes 4-5-6 to just Season 1 of the Mandalorian). Mando is a bit slower paced and dives deeper into smaller details that you wouldn't bother with for a movie. The series is nice for backstories, but I doubt I'll ever rewatch the series. I do however occasionally rewatch the movies. I also see they are coming out with Bobba Fett's own story... Personally, I would've gone with a non-Mandalorian-like character next. It will be cool if they plan to do a few seasons of multiple perimeter Star Wars characters and keep changing characters. Bobba Fett could be interesting...or could be a let down from The Mandalorian. Picking one of the secondary Jedi from Episodes 1-3 and getting a backstory (maybe their view of the Clone Wars) could be interesting. Or the story of how Lando Calrissian got the cloud city (i.e. basically the history of the city before Lando). Things like that would probably keep the series fresh and interesting. Most of these series die after a few seasons as the plots get stale.

I'll take plain stubborn over "MN Nice" which is really passive-aggressiveness -> translation: Stubborn + Lie about it to make you feel good.

Are we sure he is going to ND for Football?

I think Rodger's "buy-in" last year is massively overblown - even to the point of pure media speculation and click-bait level reporting. Team building takes time to get everyone on the same page. Any big shake-up is going to go through a period of Forming-Storming-Norming-Performing (as a manager, I've been trained in this about a dozen times). Last year, we were obviously in the first two or three phases - polite getting to know each other (Forming) and less polite jockeying for your role on the team (Storming) - maybe everyone getting used to their roles (Norming). But there was a recent article where Rodgers shared how last summer, he, MLF, and Hackett got together and talked about what worked, what didn't, why they didn't, what they liked, etc... That is a very "storming" activity. Rodgers credited a better understanding of MLF's system and WHY things were being done a certain way as a major difference between this year and last. Personally, I'm also the type of person that doesn't do well unless I understand the big picture of what my team is doing and why. It isn't that you don't buy in, but the level of understanding enables that type of person to function much better. For example, I was working a college job installing computer and telephone cable. I worked for a team lead that gave basic instructions for me to go do. But I always had to go back to him for the next task when done. My boss said I was the lowest performing person he had among those doing the same type of work. One day, my team lead was out sick, and my boss just told me to finish off one particular room. That day, my team did twice as much work then we normally accomplished. My boss was stunned and asked me what the difference was...I simply said that I understood the bigger picture of what we were doing and I didn't need to come ask for my next task all the time. I was treated differently after that. Personally, I think Rodgers, MLF, and Hackett all got on the same page and learned how to work together this past summer and the team has obviously been in the "Performing" stage of team building.

Any word who the Nickelodeon broadcast crew will be? I'll guess Rex Ryan & Dan Schneider. I've got my money on Linda Ellerbee and Mike O'Malley. Ren and Stimpy with Dora the Explorer and Diego on the SAP channel. Personally, I just found it amusing (and appropriate) that the Bears can watch their team on Nickelodeon...

So given that the Bears are in the playoffs (AZ losing), we would end up playing them if they can beat NO. Not much chance of that, but...

There. is. your. DAGGER!

Is "Call me Kat" the only new show coming out on Fox this year? Good grief, I'm already tired of it from the commercials.

AMOS with the PICK. He seems to love playing the Bears.

If the WR position needed to be addressed, how come Rodgers leads the league in TD passes and even if you take away every one of Adams' TDs he would still be 10th in the league in TD passes? That doesn't sound like a need to me. I wouldn't go that far. I think we all know that it is a need.

JONES! Take that Hicks...

That should've been a flag on Hicks for pulling on Williams' helmet at the end of that run.

Lazard still doesn't look like he was before his surgery. Much like Tonyan last year and his core injury.

It's about time we see Adams again...

[sarcasm]Nah, it's all good. He catches 3 more long TDs ... just keep watching. [/sarcasm]

Snacks in there for that play, I wonder if that keys them to go to pass instead?

FINALLY a stopped 4th down.

Where is Snacks? I'm getting tired of Lancaster/Lowry out there being blown off the line by 2-3 yards on running plays.

I feel like every game we're predicting blowouts, they turn into nail biters. These are guys with professional football players. Nothing is guaranteed. So I agree. I don't take any NFL opponent for granted enough to anticipate a blowout. This isn't like college football where there might be an enormous disparity in talent between two teams. Plus, it is Packer/Bears - rivalry games are hard. You play a team often enough that you know their tendencies and it is much harder to surprise them.
