Everyone is right though Rodgers has 8 done games and the rest of the afc south games are usually in great weather. Colts are usually guaranteed 11 good weather games. I sm just not in the mood to give up more picks for a 38 year old QB who is ready to retire. Colts should only be giving up picks now for the long term solution. Evan getting Rodgers doesn’t fix that and doesn’t stop the QB hamster wheel.

Still a better option than Wentz who has proven he can’t win. You can always draft a development qb behind Rodgers

It does no good if it doesn’t stop the hamster wheel we have at QB. What has Rodgers won AI se his one SB win. He looked checked out tonight. I disagree Wentz has proven he can’t win. He won us plenty of games this season. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I bet Vakkard even looks at Rodgers and says at 38 years old I don’t think he can take us wheee we need to be.

So do you think that in the minds of the voters this changes some votes away from Rodgers for MVP? I would have to think so…

In that respect, I would think that Mike Vrabel has likely lost his chance to be named Coach of the Year.

He lost us 4 games this year

I kind of see it as the opposite… that the frustration over this WOULD make him leave. He already seemed like he was pretty annoyed with not making it all the way for so long to begin with. Last offseason he basically looked like he was in retirement mode. This game might make him say “Oh to flubbersticks with this!”

 

Who would want to go out like that? He's not the reason that Geeen Bay lost any more than Garoppolo being why the Niners won - in the end it all came down to special teams, but I still believe that Aaron really wants that 2nd ring to separate himself from Favre & many others and I don't think he walks away until he gets back to the big game, win or lose unless he gets injured or something like that.

I think Rodgers could end up in Pittsburgh

He looks like he is done playing and is ready to move on. Just listen to him. He said it last week about retiring too. Tonight he said if packers want II rebuild he doesn’t want yo be a part of that if he keeps playing. They have a lot of cap to cut. We will see if he wants yo keep playing bad enough to go somewhere else.  Both LA twams  have their QB.  SF has theirs. Those are probably the only 3 teams he would not retire for. I bet Ballard sees his Jody language and says no way.

All the guys that despise Rodgers for his vaxx stance are out of the woodwork.   

 

People disliked Rodgers well before that. Let's keep vaxx/pandemic/etc out of this.

That is a real possibility. They have no QB.  I wonder if they would trade for Jimmy.

[colt191812]

On the field, the parallels between Manning and Rogers seem to get stronger each year.

I think Pitt is hoping Haskins with time to mature will be the QB many thought he would be coming out of college. We shall see.

Everyone is deflated when their season ends, especially in such shocking fashion  - San Francisco never led for a second of that game, until the final one. I'm sure Rodgers thought he would win that game right up until that final series but after taking time to decompress and clear his head (he probably won't even watch next weekend's games) but I  expect that he'll want to continue his career, even if it's not in Green Bay.

 

He grew up cheering for the 49ers, and oddly enough he's  0-4 against them in the postseason but if they wanted him to replace Jimmy G, I'm sure he'd do it.

Other teams with QB doubt, could be

Arizona

Carolina

Houston

Miami

New Orleans

New York(jee men)

Philadelphia

Washington

and of course Chicaco will endure that doubt for next 340 undecillion years.

I ddn't forget Denver. but shouldn't Paton be scared of letting Lock go somewhere else, to become as good as Lock believes himself to be? (and he did play well in his last 2 games, lost, vs Chargers and Chiefs).

If I were Rodgers' age, I'd rather be in Arizona, Carolina, or New Orleans...or maybe Las Vegas.

 

 

 

[FortheWin]

What a choke job from Rodgers and the Pack. Sounds to me like he is going to retire.

Jimmy G didn’t do much at all to win it

Didn't do much at all to lose it, either.

[DEColtsLover36]

I see what you are saying @Lancer1 about not wanting to go out feeling defeated but… his language and actions have been saying different for a while now IMHO. But all we can do is speculate, only Aaron knows what the future holds for him. Will be interesting either way for sure.

So Brady gets home field throughout once again?  About time that guy catches a break.  Easily the most unlucky player in sports history. 

[chickenMan]

So cathartic to see the Bengals win. Years of misery finally wiped away! Who Dey!

[Gramz]

Do y'all remember me saying someone else would take a crap in the playoffs and take the focus off of us?

 

We had two of those someone's yesterday. 

 

. Well Done!

I know you are being facetious. Lol. 

 

I think the time when he was most lucky was in that Tuck Game. I had never heard of that and he would have lost the game to the Raiders had that call not been made. 

 

Note: I moved your post to this latest playoff thread.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This SF teen man seems ri be getting a lot of weird breaks going their way.

What about Atlanta going shotgun when they were at the 20 and only needed a FG to ice it?  Or Pete calling a pass and Wilson making that horrible throw when a run would've won the game?

My brother, who does not have a favorite team but enjoys football, asked me if Jimmy G will play for the 49ers next year. I told him that I thought the 49ers would start Trey Lance. I think if Lance is not ready, Jimmy would be the better mentor, as he seems to be a team player. Rodgers does not seem to even talk to Jordan Love, the backup and his possible eventual replacement.

Yep. He seems to get all the breaks.

Absolutely. 

The big guy just asked me who is this Jimmy G kid - I told him he is a kid that just wins  . 

[2006Coltsbestever]

So Jimmy G has a 32-14 record and now is playing in his 2nd NFC Championship Game + has been in a SB. This is why stats are meaningless at times, it's about wins and losses.

I'm rooting for the 49ers next week regardless of who wins today. 

 

It would be great to see Cincy come out of the AFC but I would not mind if the Bills or even the Chiefs make it. My brother is rooting for the Chiefs. He said the explosiveness of the Chiefs offense got him interested in football. I think he may be becoming a Chiefs fan. 

 

One of my sisters said she will root for "anyone but Brady". Lol. She is not a football fan. She just does not like Brady.

I hope we get a 49ers/Cincy SB, what a shocking loss to Aaron, he may retire??

I have been saying this forever. However, I don't attribute yesterday's win to him. There were many passes that could have been picked off. The 49ers defense was great and the 49ers overall played better at the end. The Packers ST coach will probably be fired. The STs for GB was a mess.

I would like that SB.

 

I don't think Rodgers will retire. He is too proud and is still one of the top (if not the top) QBs in the NFL.

 

He did look deflated at the end.

Jimmy G was good on that final drive though. He delivers when the game is on the line.

He, and many others were sure they'd be in SB this year.

 

Performance last night was pathetic.

I thought this was Aaron's year to get #2, unreal. Winning that 2nd SB is super difficult.

Same. His situation mirrors that of Brees. Surrounded with fantastic teams in the regular season, just unable to live up to the expectations in the playoffs.

I think at this point we all need to just assume that Brady will keep winning the SB until he retires.

That's why I bring up Peyton so much winning that 2nd SB, that was huge for his legacy. Last night on sports talk radio, they were talking about the greatest QB's ever and saying MVP's and Stats are critical but unless you win multiple SB's you can't be mentioned with the Elite of the Elite's. Peyton was brought up and the host said he got that 2nd one, which makes a huge difference to go along with his MVP's.

I remember feeling that way in 1999. I swore the Vikings were going to the Super Bowl. At that time no team had ever scored that many points in a season and our kicker had not missed any FG attempts during the regular season. When we lost that game to Atlanta, I felt numb. I could not believe we lost.
