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

      I mean, I think you're being a little hyperbolic with the last statement, but point taken.

      Pass rush was the biggest issue in tonight’s game, and we were tied for 28th in sacks this season. That is a major area of need that has to get addressed this offseason. I just don’t see a path where there’s a game changing QB you can bring in with where we are drafting and quality of veterans that will be available. We certainly can do better than Dalton as a backup, and should ideally have a developmental guy  (perhaps a day 3 pick this year). We have bryce for one more year on a reasonable contract and then I think 2027 is the year that you reset that position (unless he massively improves).

      Agreed, honestly basically bringing this group back as a healthy unit would be alright.  Brady Christensen should be resigned to a very reasonable deal with him recovering from the Achilles.  Atleast we're alright at 4 of our 5 spots with Lewis, Mays, Hunt, and Moton, Nijman was decent.  While if we can snag a deal on someone, take a stab, however our resources need to go to Linebacker, Pass Rush and a real option outside Tmac (coker is amazing, but if we can get someone who isnt braindead opposite Tmac, we can fully unleash Coker AND Tmacs full potential, cant move him into the slot if racoon boy is out there licking doorknobs).
