For one thing, I like it when the Lions are abysmal. It's normal and it's funny. For another, it bugs me that the Chiefs handed them this win by their own incompetence. I'm not saying the Lions didn't play well, but if the Chiefs hadn't given up all those yards and a defensive TD simply by being una...

Huh https://twitter.com/dpshow/status/1686441491852382208?s=46&t=RVScvSC5MI3-MVuRYaF98A I really wanted him that offseason. I was advocating releasing Zadarius for him. Was mad at Z that offseason and he already had the back issues. Pretty sure both would have been injured either way, lol. Nice...

using that draft capitol when we did on Love was wrong, using that draft capitol on a replacement QB is never wrong, the timing was poor Rodgers still had about 5 to 6 years of HOF play in him, the decline YOU saw in 017 and 18 was scheme in decline and lack of receivers needed for those schemes, a...

Gute has taken the position that I'am the boss, and the players have no business questioning what I do, and that was apparent when he hired Lafleur never even consulting Rodgers, and it's been a lack of respect between both ever since. and Rodgers isn't the only player Gute has snubbed, I doubt any...

Agree with this... Will ya’ll still feel like the delayed pick is discounted next year when the Packers have a second round 1 pick in what many already perceive to be a significantly stronger draft class? As my business 101 professor used to say. A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow....

HERE is another perspective! :-) A next year pick is usually considered a round lower than if had been this year. So nowhere close to #3 compensation. Possibly in the lower rounds, but surely not in round 1? Given the choice of pick 32 this year or pick 1 next year, I doubt many GMs would go for th...

I hope he passes his medical!

https://twitter.com/wendellfp/status/1646236480753287172?s=46&t=RVScvSC5MI3-MVuRYaF98A Yeah, f them, I just hold. We look stupid, but our brass all in it together and their future tied to Love, not this trade. After three 13 win seasons, they are safe for a bit and it’s all about if Love is goo...

Okay so the Packers pay but sit aaron rodgers - pay you but stay home. I don't think you all realise the effect of this. It will be every single press conference for years will be remembered by what they did to hof aaron rodgers. This isn't a video game. The most valuable thing is to just get a nic...

the packers should take on whatever can they handle of the option bonus. Gute gave the silly contract, the silly contract is tanking trade value, Gute should pony up the cash in order to get the most compensation as possible. I would much rather eat up the cap and get pick 13 than have cap space to...

The margin between success and failure in the NFL is very narrow. That is why you might call it failure and I might say that it’s actually better than we think. 2023 will tell. To me, injuries took an immense toll. And rookie receivers needed time to mature enough. Even so, we were one game away fr...

And by the same source, that's how much technical space they have--so they can make a deal--but not how much functional space they have in terms of signing players because of the rookie contracts that will take effect and the amount of space you need to go into a season. If Rodgers is traded as it ...

Unfortunately he will take his lumps, all QB's do in their first season as a starter. Rodgers took his lumps as a first year starter too and the Packers had a 6-10 season and missed the playoffs, with a team that went 13-3 under Brett the year before. Though to be fair, in most of those losses Rodg...

No different than 2017-2019 to me. All the fans talking about how Rodgers was done instead of looking at the absolutely talentless roster around him. I said the entire time the offensive scheme was shot and the supporting cast was mostly &%$@. We fixed that and Rodgers looked like a God again. ...

Ouch. Just saw Aaron has only two playoff wins since 2017. A sentence that’ll make you crinkle your nose. True, right? And yet, we wonder how much of those losses was on Aaron’s shoulders. I think the most common sense approach is that he generally played well enough and that the bigger problems we...

David Bakhtiari has said the exact same thing. Players want to be paid what they are worth. The contract means something to their peers.

It means something, but not a lot. I have never heard of any of Tom Brady's teammates dissing him for not squeezing every possible penny out of his contracts.

What is the point of the last two pages of posts? Is any word of it relevant to the game?

https://www.spotrac.com/research/nfl/the-financial-futures-of-rodgers-love-1684/?ct=t(EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_1_3_2022_16_10_COPY_02) I would comment that although Rodgers doesn't have a no-trade clause, it's pretty much given that if Rodgers tells the prospective trading partner that he doesn't want to go ...

Lets not act like Love is the second coming just yet. He has three really good throws: the one to Watson, the out route to Lazard, and the back shoulder to Jones that he didn't catch. His other throws were all relatively inaccurate, which has been his #1 problem since college. Accuracy can improve,...

I think you need that give of grass. Of course grass is more susceptible to being slippery when wet. Also what happens when it's froze solid? Maybe the artificial has an advantage then? Not sure. I would let the players vote. Undersoil heating stops the grass from freezing solid. It's far more effi...
