Follow up today on if the surgery was actually on his knee or his finger. LaFleur would not elaborate and said spilling the beans on the surgery was a mistake and would not discuss it further.

Florio seems to HATE Rodgers, and also the Packers. But this article brings up something interesting. It was the leagues media entity that reported he was not vaxxed, and also the league media entity that reported the leak about him seeking the alternative treatment. If the source of the leak came from the league, and was spread to the public by the league...

A) we may never see Rodgers again due to him giving them the finger and retiring
B) Wonder if Rodgers has any legal reprise there. Seems like a violation of workers rights if the source of the leak was the same league that also reported it.

Nah. No way. If the league leaks and league media arm were a conflict that mattered, we'd have had 8,000 stories like that by now.

Flori's a lawyer; he just takes a litigious view on everything.

Also, Rodgers being pissed that his status leaked is dumb. It was always going to be obvious once he tested positive. That they bumped it up a couple days is not in any way a tangible harm to anyone.

Not unfair, but we are in pretty new territory. Most other leaks from the NFLN would not have anything to do with someone private health status...when it is league policy not to reveal whether someone is vaxxed or not.

You are right that in just a couple days we would all know anyways, but everyone putting 2 and 2 together seems different than the league being responsible for the sharing of information that is in their policy not to share.

So I wonder if there is any recourse for the league breaking their own agreement with the union.

Wait, wait, wait. Remember when Cousins was sent home and it was leaked that he wasn't vaccinated? Football fans were all like, "What an a$$hole" "Not a team player." "Not how a leader would be.". No one here cared about his rights to privacy. My how things change when it's Rodgers.

If it makes you feel better, I also don't care about Rodgers' privacy rights.

I dont really follow the vikings closely but I thought he was asked just like Rodgers and he was just tremendously worse at Lying than Rodgers. I remember him squirming alot and not answering and talking about how it was a personal decision and everyone just assumed.

I actually don't think the support for Rodgers is that strong here. I mean once yoop learned the truth, he turned into a guy who would cover up murder for Rodgers into him even saying Rodgers is selfish.

My take is pretty much always been the same on Rodgers. He is exactly who we know he is. We have known this guy intimately for roughly 12 years. (not intimately before that). I just feel everything he has done this year is par for the course of who he is.

And my take? I respect him like crazy as a person. I cheer for him like crazy on Sundays. I love that he is a Packers quarterback. Just go win the game.

I will love to hear about his Packers stories after he leaves GB but probably won't care to hear about his other theories or takes on life outside of just what it takes to be a successful person.

Didn't we pretty much know that already, since the NFL makes them go 5 years per throwback set?

Fine by me though, those are my favorite throwbacks so far! :aok:

Should be in line for quite the home stretch here, 5 of the remaining 8 games are at home.


Yes, 6 of our first 9 games have been on the road.

Matty never lost twice in a row, excited to kick Seattle's ass in a week here, Love or Rodgers.


Seattle
@Minnesota
Rams
Bye
Bears
@Baltimore
Browns
Vikings

@Lions


Rams game possibly biggest game remaining on the schedule for possible tie breakers down the road, assuming we are talking about winning the division.


Baltimore could be a really tough game, but with how our D is playing, gunna be a ton more confident there.


Really thinking 13-4 is a fairly conservative estimate here. 14-3 wouldn't surprise me and be talking #1 seed.

Fun Fact I didn't know.

Erin Andrews said on her podcast she grew up a Packers fan. So that is her favorite team. Obviously now she has to be a professional.

Yeah conventional wisdom would say we will kind of know what we are entering December. If we pull off these next 3....2 or 3 losses and #1 seed is a very high likelihood.

The last time a #1 seed in the NFC had less than 3 losses was the 2015 Panthers at 15-1.

How many times does 4 losses get the #1 seed?

I bet that is quite rare as well.

Without looking into it, I bet the recipe for top seeds is 3 losses and controlling the tie breakers.

Right now, the Packers have the tie breaker over the NFC West (head to head with AZ), NFC South (conference record TB), and I don't know about Dallas. (I would imagine it comes down to Strength of Schedule)
