And boy are they having a field day online with our whiny, anti-vax QB. And rightfully so.No one on that staff who has special teams in their title should be employed above a junior high coaching level ever again.

"I'm being silenced," says QB Aaron Rodgers in a 28 minute phone call to ESPN.

Aaron Rodgers thought he was going to the Super Bowl but it was just a false positive. pic.twitter.com/DYQMbnmP74

Some thoughts from a great Wisconsinite who wrote "When Pride Still Mattered" about Vince Lombardi and the others who turned Green Bay into Titletown.Aaron Rodgers managed to get an entire country to root against a team whose business model and ownership is the most progressive in the NFL and root FOR the team that fired Colin Kaepernick. Good job Aaron. #ByeAaron

Naturally, there are paralells to other Wisconsin idiocy these days.Conflicted thoughts of lifelong Packers fan. Deserved to lose. Special teams embarrassing. Defense excellent. Offense lame. Rodgers had dazed look not seen since last playoffs. It's tiresome rooting for team whose talented qb is a monomaniacal dangerous know-it-all fool. Enuf.

Wait, the Wisconsin GOP? Maybe there's a different reason the Pack seem cursed in the postseason and can't win the big one.The Wisconsin GOP is demanding an audit of the Packers loss last night and they are considering passing a new law that gives the Packers a 10 point lead at the start of all home games. #ByeAaron

Walker: Yeah, well thanks. This is an exciting time. This is, I told my cabinet, I had a dinner the Sunday uh, excuse me, Monday right after [February] the sixth. Came home from the Super Bowl where the Packers won, that Monday night I had all my cabinet over to the residence for dinner, talked about what we were going to do, how we were going to do it, we'd already kind of built plans up but it was kind of the last hurrah before we dropped the bomb.It always goes back to that a-hole, doesn't it? The Pack haven't gotten back to the Big One since "the bomb" was dropped. Just saying. Between Walker and Rodgers, they sure have done a lot to take out the pride of being a Wisconsinite, and instead made us have to explain to others "we're not all morons. Really!". And both Fitzwalkerstan and Rodgers have run their course in this state. It's gotta be over.
So many reasons for the loss but this is the first time in my life that I ever thought Aaron Rodgers let us down; it was that 3 and out series at the end. I am not a Rodgers hater but I guess-sadly- it might be time to move on, especially after watching all four QBs shine yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI'd argue Rodgers had chances to tie/get ahead of Tampa last year and didn't come through, but I agree that this was his worst effort in a playoff game. You should never lose a game when your defense gives up 6 points.
DeleteWorth noting, a lot of the great young QBs are in the AFC, which is something both Rodgers and the Pack should keep in mind when figuring out a destination for 12. The other 3 NFC North teams are either awful and/or will be dealing with a new coach (or both), so the Pack can stay afloat and contend if they do this right, even without Rodgers.
I know Rodgers is still the team's best chance for a Super Bowl in 2023, but it's run its course. I'm done with the sideshow, and if you can't get a ring (or even to the Big Game) while acting like this, get draft picks and a decent QB for him (unless you're convinced Love is the guy. Which I'm not).
