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

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
