Every time he is about to get sacked he spikes it into the ground or near the back of the lineman, KA would not get away with this not to mention you cant touch the guy. I know this is a well known fact but im venting because id love to nock that s*** eating grin after every call he gets off his face.

We literally lost yesterday because the refs would rather call a phantom bullsh*t roughing the passer call, instead of an OBVIOUS intentional grounding in the endzone (that would have been a safety), which would have been 2 points AND the ball before the half. Lions got hosed in Lambeau, and we just got hosed in Lambeau. It's almost as worse as the superdome.

His night have been borderline, rodgers was blatant

I agree with the borderline on KA's potential grounding.  Most angles of KA's were pretty bad, but there was an angle from behind the QB where the referee was standing that showed the ball on a line in the direction of Jarius Wright.  It didn't get anywhere near him, but you could make a case that if the arm wasn't hit, it might have been intended for him.

Exactly, he tried to get it there, thats the whole point of non intentional grounding.

He threw two that should have been safetys both with a defender in his face.

That all true but the refs had nothing to do with our D-line handing out rushing yards like Halloween candy and giving the the QB time to look through his treat bag. 

Yes both lines werent good honestly but kyle did good considering...the d on the other hand against the run was abysmal. However the secondary even with all the groin injuries stood stout besides 17 pulling in that amazing catch. The D did enough exspecially when we stopped them in their own endzone... The penalty was deflating but the score still was close regardless, if not for the refs wr probably win. Also the D came up big on that 4th down holding them to no pts, gotta give a little credit at least a D+.

It honestly just makes you not want to watch the game anymore. It's just a shitty NFL product and the league doesn't care about making the game truly fair. Neither do the officials. You put in a new review rule and they just ignore it because they are indignant and petty.

IMO spiking the ball to stop the clock should be an intentional grounding call.

Nah.  The reason grounding exists is to prevent QB's avoiding a sack that way.  With spiking the ball, the QB isn't trying to avoid a sack, he's just stopping the clock.  The loss of down is plenty of penalty for that.

Then run a route, and throw it over their head.  Just not a fan of the spiking rule.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
