SaviorPeterman Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Too bad it wasn't Brady that got hurt then the bills would have a real chance at the playoffs. Sucks that Rogers had to go down though, still think he is the 2nd best behind Brady.
Saxum Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 ice bowl your team is doing right thing rather than trying off-the-shelf (expired shelf) QB who would not be able to run game plan. Hopefully this will give your backup some experience and front office confidence to put him in game to get Aaron a rest when game is in hand in future. I actually think the Packers are one of the most liked teams with all fans in the AFC I agree in many markets. If you honestly think that it was intentional thank god you didn't watch football pre 2000 where QB's got lit up routinely Completely disagree. It is hard enough to tackle a QB without a flag as is. At some point you and fans need to accept regardless of what we do to protect players bad hits happen and players will be in vulnerable positions. It's unavoidable. Frankly football fans today are lucky and spoiled with how QB's are not hit and how the stars are playing longer then ever thanks to rule changes so you can see their excellence. Just about every top QB pre-2000 minus maybe Elway got hit in ways that ended seasons frequently or at minimum would take them out for weeks at a time. The 1990 Bills division clinching game was led by Frank Reich against Dan Marino because Kelly got his knee drilled. I'm sure the networks and fans would've preferred Jim vs Dan but it was what it was. Montana was hit so bad in the 1990 NFC championship it messed him up for the following season and a half. Terry Bradshaw's injury in 1980 ended the Steelers dynasty more or less on spot because he was never the same. The last decade and a half has basically been a golden era of QB play and see stars out their without much injury at that position. That was not routine and people are too conditioned that it should be now. I honestly don't care to see football neutered in a way that a QB becomes untouchable which some are basically pushing for now. As is the rule changes in 04 and 07 on QB/WR's made it even harder to win without a top QB because if the limits on hitting players. The last thing I care to see is even more regulation in a game is impossible to fully regulate anyway. Don't forget Dan Marino's injury is what got him into endorsements and commercials. He made more that year in endorsements for he was always available than he made as a QB for which he got paid as well.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 I guess hes available for more commercials Sorry Clay.
Gordio Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 When a player like A Rodgers goes down everyone that enjoys the game of football suffers. Don't give up on the season my friend. You guys are pretty good manning the QB position. The Packers are done this season brother. Rodgers is the best QB in the league & it is not even close who is second. Packers aren't rebounding from this one. Unless Hundley is Tom Brady part 2 which he certainly didn't look like Sunday. I know most people outside of Packer fans didn't mind it. It improves their teams chances of going all the way. Plus everyone hates the Packers as much as the Patriots outside of Green Bay. That is not true at all, maybe in Chicago/MInn/Dallas, but I think the Pack are one of the more liked franchises in the league.
BigBuff423 Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 I know most people outside of Packer fans didn't mind it. It improves their teams chances of going all the way. Plus everyone hates the Packers as much as the Patriots outside of Green Bay. Honestly, I don't....I enjoy watching the Packers games. I think, not only because they've been fricken good for so long, but because it's a "small" city and have a great following of fans. It's the birthplace of the Super Bowl, football history is rich with the Packers (putting it lightly), and except for McCarthy's intermittent cantankerous approach to the media, they're a likable team overall (at least IMO). Every team has it's douche bags, but every time they're on national tv, I'm watching. And, when you experience 17 years of no freaking QB, you go beyond the point of petty jealousy and you extend empathy. So, I know it sucks, but Packers (as others have said) have a way of getting their QBs ready and you have a decent team. Best of luck and thank you for always keeping it classy when you come here, I've noticed that for quite a while now and just never thought to mention it.
WhoTom Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 this probably sounds horrible , but If it was Marcell body slamming Brady, i'm more in agreement with you. I'm feeling kinda dirty right now... If it was Marcell on Brady, there would have been a flag and a fine.
Webster Guy Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 thats what i'm thinking, Not that I enjoy using this as an example , but does BB and the Pats lose football games without Mrs Brady? ummmm no, not many well we beat them 16-0 last year in foxboro with a mediocre team. the GENIUS coach couldn't muster a single point.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 well we beat them 16-0 last year in foxboro with a mediocre team. the GENIUS coach couldn't muster a single point. the Pats were playing a 3rd string backup with a banged up thumb. Thats how little respect he had of Rex Lets not pretend it was Brady under center
buffaloboyinATL Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 First off hope you beat the Bucs next week. Second now I know how you guys have felt at times after yesterday, ouch. Hopefully you guys can go to the Superbowl now that were out of it.Does Favre have one last comeback in him? Maybe he have been on the Tom Brady, avacado ice cream diet.
Figster Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 the Pats were playing a 3rd string backup with a banged up thumb. Thats how little respect he had of Rex Lets not pretend it was Brady under center Or even their normal backup
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Or even their normal backup who played all of 2, 2.5 full real NFL games.
