You all realize we'll be playing Aaron Rodgers in a few weeks right?

People keep expecting the Packers to shut Rodgers down and I just don't see it unless they lose to the Browns in 2 weeks. They have 6 losses right now, a loss next week would give them 7. I can promise you they won't be eliminated mathematically by the time we play them. Rodgers is supposedly feeling pretty good already with an additional 3 weeks before our game. Everyone that's penciling in an automatic W for that game is crazy.

Who cares

We can still beat them with Rodgers

besides we play the saints this week guy 

The tone of this board's playoff prediction threads has everyone penciling in a W for that game, when it's probably going to be the hardest or second hardest game left on the schedule. He was in god mode earlier this season before the injury.

they looked pretty good without Rodgers last night.   I mean it ain't a gimmie no matter who plays QB.  Young kid getting better.    

I just think it comes down to how the race looks.  I think they need a decent shot for them to risk Rodgers.   A technically not eliminated scenario alone won't be worth it IMO. 

Plus, we went to NE and beat Brady this year.  We can beat Rodgers.  We can beat Brees this week too.

9 wins won't be enough for the NFC wildcard. I think they're shutting it down for the season.

I don't disagree that 9 won't be enough, but what incentive would McCarthy have by giving up when they're still in the hunt? That's just now what NFL coaches do. Look at all the crazy bullshit Ron Rivera has done in past seasons under the pretense of us still being mathematically alive.

If they are out of the playoff picture, then you really think they'd risk it?  Especially with a backup playing better and better?

 

I don't

If Rodgers is completely healthy like it sounds like he'll be, why in the world would they play Hundley? NFL teams play their starting quarterbacks whenever possible.

He's eligible to return against us but it's yet to be seen whether he'll actually be healthy enough to play then. Seems like he's progressing but no one really has any clue as to whether he'll be ready by our game. That, along with their record AND recent history with Romo against us makes me think they'll lean against playing Rodgers against us.

 

Either way, we'll handle them whether it's Rodgers, Hundley or Jesus Christ himself at QB. That team is horrible.

I am not overly afraid of Green Bay.  Their defense isn't top tier and ours is.   The question is does Green Bay want to put their franchise QB onto the field against one of the top defenses in the league.  It would suck if we slam him to the deck and reinjure that shoulder.

IF they lose this weekend Atlanta needs to win 3 of their next 5 and Carolina/ New Orleans only need 2 of their next 5 to shut out Green Bay

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
