This looks like a really large sport given the loss to the Vikings and at a really unlucky time with all of the accidents and the bye week subsequent week. How arduous do you suppose it’s for a crew to deal with simply this sport at this second?
It isn’t arduous. It is what they do.
Thanks for all the time offering us with factual info reasonably than slimy disinformation.
I do not wish to do any mudslinging. I grew up in newspapers and pull for them every single day. However that Wall Avenue Journal story left lots to be desired. Unique reporting is one factor. However aggregating what Rodgers mentioned on “The Pat McAfee Present” and presenting it the way in which WSJ did is regrettable. That is not the business I used to be introduced up in.

Simply as I am recovering from his fiancée’s description of AR12’s “ft, ahem,” we’re all handled to a photograph of his ACTUAL naked foot amid much more COVID drama. Are you able to consider one other crew with extra leisure worth this 12 months? ANY 12 months?
Leisure is one method to put it. Pay attention, I went almost 10 years on the Packers with out seeing Aaron Rodgers’ ft. I sit up for constructing a brand new streak.
How do our DBs enhance at monitoring footballs? There are nonetheless gaps, however general, our protection and tackling are improved. Nonetheless, we stay poor with the soccer within the air. Kevin King and Darnell Savage each struggled with this in massive moments final 12 months, and Eric Stokes appears to be following their lead. Go protection is hard however c’mon, 50:50 and even 70:30 balls cannot be full each time. QBs throw semi-prayers towards us on third down and it really works, it is like a bail out for his or her offense!
They’re monitoring the ball high quality. The Packers have 42 passes defensed and rank eighth within the NFL with 11 interceptions. However there’s nonetheless extra on the market for them. You’ll be able to emphasize and follow taking the ball away all you need however finally the participant should execute in that split-second. The Packers had just a few balls bounce their method late this season. On Sunday, it did not. On to the subsequent one.
Are NFL groups allowed to advocate or marketing campaign for previous gamers’ HOF worthiness? It appears there are a number of Packers which were seemed over and will use some assist going ahead, possibly most notably LeRoy Butler.
Mike from Franksville, WI
Time for us to proceed banging the drum for LeRoy Butler’s induction into the Hall of Fame! Of the first-year nominees, I actually solely see DeMarcus Ware getting on this 12 months. With a hypothetically open discipline, do you suppose this would be the 12 months the place we see the decision for lots of men who’ve waited, like Butler, Tony Boselli, Darren Woodson, and others?
I positive hope that is the 12 months. Sufficient with the video games. The man deserves to be within the Corridor of Fame. He belongs in Canton and this can be a green-and-golden alternative to proper that mistaken. I agree together with your evaluation of the first-year guys and even then, I do not suppose I might categorize Ware as a first-ballot HOFer. I have a look at Butler, Zach Thomas and Boselli (beneath the Terrell Davis rule) as three who ought to positively get in. I might additionally put in one of many defensive linemen amongst Jared Allen, Richard Seymour or Ware.
Final season the offense appeared a lot crisper and rather more attacking than this season. How do the stats evaluate, and why does it really feel completely different this 12 months? Is it so simple as accidents? Is Bak that a lot of a difference-maker that’s begins there?
The offense simply hasn’t been in a position to get into the identical sort of groove this 12 months. The Packers are saying all the proper issues because it pertains to the roster however they’ve performed all season with out their franchise left deal with. David Bakhtiari is one of the best within the enterprise in move safety however he does not get almost sufficient credit score for what he provides within the run sport. I feel there is a trickle-down impact there. What’s extra, Davante Adams, Aaron Jones, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard and Rodgers have all missed time and handled accidents.
Is Aaron Jones’ relationship with AJ Dillon as strong because it was with Jamaal Williams? I simply miss watching them collectively.
Jones has an ideal relationship with Dillon however theirs is extra like massive brother/little brother. Jones and Williams had been like twins. That they had completely different personalities however each are actually selfless folks, which made the association work. However Dillon match proper in with that room final 12 months.
