Detroit Lions knock Pack out of playoffs; gratz Geno

[Saxum]

Sorry @Ice bowl 67

I was rooting for Packers.

 

Geno Smith is now a starting QB in playoffs. 

I would never have guessed this would happen except by injury.

Geno had an amazing year. I guess it should be a lesson in perseverance for all of us. Congrats to him!

Fixed it. Funny search went right to his page.

Detroit from 1-6 to a winning season. Jets and Dolphins should take some notes. Packers were able to get some things going but overall a bad year given their high expectations as they once again gave Rodgers no help. He has WR's that resemble the 2018 Bills. I don't see how it gets any better for them next year either

Was hoping to see Lions as our counterpart in the SB

Like the Geno Smith season.

There was a stretch of a month and a half or so, during the second half of the season, where Detroit was nearly undefeated, losing only to the Bills, and that was a tough game for the Bills.  I was really impressed by how well they played together.  Their roster still has holes, but almost every roster does.  Goff (and Mac Jones too, I have to say) looked like a very good professional QB.  

 

I was rooting for Detroit, partly because Aaron Rodgers has turned into such a jerk, and partly because the Green Bay organization failed to put a team around him, who despite being a jerk is still a good QB.  An organization that makes so many mistakes doesn't deserve to win.  And partly because I really appreciate the effort that Detroit put in, to turn into an above-.500 team in one year.

Lions could’ve been interesting in the playoffs and the Seahawks had to spoil it

I really hope we look to sign Jamaal Williams this offseason.  That dude is fantastic AND fun.

Good for Geno. Hell congrats to Pete Carroll and the squad because they’re looking pretty darn smart from the Wilson deal.

Rodgers just isn't as good as he used to be. That's part of the problem. We've been saying for YEARS now that they give him no help, but elite QB's elevate the team around them and make do with sub-par weapons. They have to, given their exorbitant contracts.

 

Not saying Rodgers isn't elite, but at what point do people start giving him some of the blame?

He's still very good. You have to watch the games to see that the receivers are absolute garbage. He almost put them in the playoffs when they had no business being there. Take him away from that team and they are the Texans

I blame him for demanding such an exorbitant contract that they couldn't put any talent around him. I agree with you that he's not as good as he used to be, but if they had Davante Adams in the lineup, they wouldn't be cleaning out their lockers today.

Agreed, but let's think about the implications of that.

 

Packers: no playoffs, no cap space, mid-round drafting next year, ten draft picks total

Texans: no playoffs, lots of cap space, two first-round picks (including #2 overall), twelve draft picks total

 

Situationally, at least, the Texans are better off.

Back to back MVP wants to get paid the most salary in the NFL?  He seems to have a leg to stand on regarding negotiations.  

 

They signed watkins, stood pat with Cobb, and played rookies.  Watkins and Cobb both missed time - and are both sort of washed at this point of their career.  WR free agent market is a mine field of bad deals - but the players they probably should have targeted would be JuJu, Crowder, Beasley, or Landry.
