Theoretically we beat the Browns next week and then Rodgers can come back while we’re still in the hunt. The defense has improved and with Rodgers will have more time to rest during the games. Gonna be exciting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
IF we lose to the Browns we'd be best to let Hundley finish year out IMO. BUT if we win, and AR can run table....10-6 and we are in. I'll take a gamble with AR just IN the playoffs any year.
Pretty intriguing pricing on tickets at Cleveland next Sunday I have plenty of miles I asked my son if he wanted to go to Cleveland to watch the game. Granted it was Sunday evening I may have had a little Packer spirit, but my son talked me down said he is not going to travel to watch the Packers with Brett as the starting QB. He made a very valid point.
Brett Bumbly has shot himself in the foot ! I hope he received his college degree ! He will need it soon !
Please elaborate how you believe the odds of you winning the lottery is the same as Green Bay beating Cleveland....love to hear the reasoning behind that. Or Was it the "I'll take a gamble with AR just IN the playoffs any year" that got ya hot and bothered? Because if so you gotta be crazy to not think anything can happen with AR in playoffs...I would never bet against him nor Brady either in the playoffs.
He truly hasn't seemed to allow someone to gain a handle on what he is. One week he makes a few throws that are pro-level...then he seemingly is as bad as Jamarcus Russel was....then Steeler week he looks very pro-capable...then yesterday he showed only his legs have value. I won't say he is doomed but I also would have to be incredibly drunk to say he has a future outside of back up....not sure anyone can say for sure at the moment. Green Bay may have just enough promise in him (his feet help) to have a very serviceable back up for years to come, because I just don't see anyone out there really throwing starter or even "maybe" starter money at him.....so Brett's loss could end up being GB's win in some fashion. Was really hoping he would excel...but he hasn't.
Nothing said about odds.-just that it COULD happen-making the playoffs. Just like Minnesota COULD be the first home team to host a Super Bowl. Are either of these scenarios LIKELY? No. As for Rogers and Brady in the play offs and betting against them...normally I wouldn't if either were 100%
Yep at 10 though there is a victory against the vikings and thus possibly costing home field to the vikings.
Even with Rodgers the odds GB wins that game is not very good. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Statistics mean nothing to the man who drowns in a river with an average depth of 1.5' So there is a chance.
the Pack in with a 10-6 record? If not, I think it is almost as likely the Pack may not play Rodgers. You don't put your franchise player on the field at less than 100% with nothing written in stone. Yeah, he's throwing the ball 50 yards. Doesn't mean that the bone is 100% healed. That plate is there due to the severity of the injury. I think everyone would agree that Rodgers wants to get back on the field. Inner drive-It's what makes the great ones great. There are times teams have to protect their players from themselves and their fans. Well played Sota, well played. LOL
I agree and am of the mindset, the second we are eliminated from playoff contention you have to set him, whether that is the last week, after next week...zero sense playing him for nothing.
"Aaron Rodgers could return in Week 15. Will the 6-6 Packers sneak into an NFC wild-card spot? Graziano: I don't think so. As great a story as that would be -- the Packers and Rodgers continuing their streak of reaching the playoffs every year since 2009 -- it doesn't seem likely in this year's NFC. If the Packers were 6-6 in the AFC, that might be a different story. But jumping over the Panthers, Lions and Falcons seems like too tall a task even for Rodgers. Running the table would get Green Bay to 10-6, but the Packers still have tough road games in Carolina and Detroit, plus a home game against the Vikings. So a 4-0 finish is no sure thing. And even if they did it, 10-6 might not be good enough in this year's NFC. Kimes: Probably not. While Green Bay's early head-to-head victories over Seattle and Dallas could boost its chances, the Packers would still need to run the table -- which would be no easy feat, given that they have to play a more balanced Vikings team that will probably still be fighting for the top seed. A Rodgers comeback would be magical, but I'm not sure this defense has what it takes to run the table again. Schatz: It's still really unlikely, no matter how well Rodgers plays. The Packers probably need to go 10-6 to get a playoff spot. At 9-7, they would probably run into a problem because of a head-to-head loss with Atlanta. Rodgers playing well isn't enough; the Packers also need teams such as Atlanta and Seattle to finish poorly. Sando: Nope. Green Bay will probably finish 8-8 with victories against the Browns and Lions offset by losses to the Panthers and Vikings. I fear the chances of Rodgers getting reinjured against Carolina or Minnesota are higher than the chances of the Packers reaching the postseason in a stacked NFC. Yates: No, but it's a fascinating wrinkle all the same. The league is better when Rodgers -- arguably the best player on the planet -- is on the field, but the Packers are going to need at least two out of three teams not currently in first place in their division (Atlanta, Carolina and Seattle) to flop down the stretch. While 10 wins is in play, a playoff spot feels far-fetched."
Yup. Is it possible they run the table if AR returns, without a doubt. EVEN IF that tall task is completed....they would still need some help to even get in. Long shot of long shots AR and the Pack have faced in recent years.
