The cheesehead saved his life! Never has a stupid piece of foam been so important.

Oh ouch Macca, just ouch! 

I was expecting a scene like out of 'Lost' the TV drama where said person is thrown out of a jumbo and lands head first (with cheesehead apparatus attached) into some sort of swampy lagoon. 

That's just a bit more interesting and colourful that the Cessna story

     I’d also be expecting GB to make the playoffs often with a QB like Rodgers.

    See the list of playoff appearances below  ... he missed in his first year and last year when he broke his collarbone.  8 years running - playoffs. 

    He has only ever been surrounded by a reasonable or above average team with reasonable and sometimes above average coaching.  That is why we have only made the 1 SB in Rodgers time at the Packers.

    I would have thought the above was clearly obvious to those who follow the sport closely. 

    I watch all our games very closely and I am brutally honest when it comes to sport ... I'm unbiased,  don't play favourites,  I'm hard but fair and never scapegoat.  And I detest excuses.  Never blame refs or umps either. 

    So you can rest assured that my appraisal of Aaron Rodgers is accurate. 

    I've got about 7-8 mates who follow the NFL closely and not one of them doesn't share my view about the Packers.  None of them rate McCarthy that highly nor do they believe that the Packers roster has ever been that particularly strong.

    Steelers can get [censored]. So can the referees - only look one way. Almost cheating.

    Pretty surprised to say the least. The Steelers were lucky to win with Ben throwing 3 picks. They couldn’t get any separation early on at all. He did make the key plays when they mattered though.

    NFC East just opened and the god awful thought of the Cowboys making a run is apparent. 

    Carolina cost a few of us big time in the tips, good job Rivera.

    The Chargers were the big surprise for me. Plenty of talent on this roster but unfortunately they threw it. Lindsay has been a surprise packet for the Broncos, seeing the no. 30 side step into the end zone was shades of T.D! 

    Tomorrow will be a belter.

    Well we have made the playoffs the large majority of the time with Rodgers at the helm but there's only so much the bloke can do on his own.

    So you can rest assured that my appraisal of Aaron Rodgers is accurate.  I've got about 7-8 mates who follow the NFL closely and not one of them doesn't share my view about the Packers.  And believe me,  we've had a few barneys arguing to and fro.  None of them rate McCarthy nor do they believe that the Packers roster has ever been that strong. 

    If Belichick had coached Rodgers for his career I reckon A-Rod would have featured in 3 or 4 SB's by now.  That's just my opinion but I reckon I wouldn't be far off the mark.  Maybe even 5 SB's. 

    And there lies the difference layz. 

    If I haven't convinced you after that spiel above then it's probably best that we agree to disagree.

    Here's Green Bay's record with Rodgers at the helm  ... last season he broke his collarbone again which put paid to any playoff hopes

    image.thumb.png.3aca1b0c4c9f2c1228f527f6caf39f29.png

    Well I don’t know what we’d be disagreeing on exactly, I’ve never said anything other than that I’m a Rodgers fan and that he is one of the best talents I’ve ever seen in the position. The only thing I ever said from the beginning is that it was interesting how he and Favre shared losing away records. No attacks on Rodgers, no thinly veiled suggestions that he’s a bad Quarterback, just an interesting observation. 

    He’s clearly been excellent, he’s clearly carried the team for a very long time, has got plenty of stats that very much support his excellence. I’m largely in agreeance with you on this. But I don’t think it’s a crime to question some things either and at the end of the day these small details are probably the difference between him and Brady.

    Never finished watching Lost. By the last season the plane had crashed 5 years before so it was time for them to get over it.

    And I'm on record here in saying that Brady is a better QB that Rodgers ... but mainly because he's played in 8 SB's.  Swap teams and the story is probably the exact opposite.

    But Brady is the outlier,  an aberration and not the benchmark.  Same as Bradman's average is not the benchmark.  But the dolts of this world see both Brady & Bradman as the benchmarks. 

    They don't get it and I'm not sure you do either ... you are not a big picture person but you are definitely a 'fan' acting like a fan. 

    I am entirely sick of talking to you to be honest and I see you as acting in a disingenuous manner on this matter ... in short,  I don't believe you.

    Ok well I’m pretty sick of talking to you about it too and don’t wish to take it any further. Done with it.

    So the 'troll' says that Rodgers road record is poor and he should have played in more SB's.  But the same troll is also saying that McCarthy is a poor coach and should have been sacked long ago.   2 posts earlier the same troll said that the coaching is fine. 

    So the QB should have a much better road record and featured in more SB's yet has a coach who is deemed as useless

    Makes no sense whatsoever.   But coming from someone who supports the Forty-Whiners,  I'm not surprised.  Chips on shoulders the size of boulders.

    The stupid finger pointing reminds me of the clowns who were blaming Nathan Jones in 2012/2013.

    We had all sorts of issues at board level,  Admin,  player personnel & definitely the coaching but a fair wad of so-called sipporters wanted to blame Jones (our only real shining light) Astomishing.

    These same idiots started on Goodwin earlier this year and previous to that Watts,  Oscar and others.

    Looks like the Rams will have Pharoh Cooper back. Massive boost for their kick return game.

    Man, down 4 players now. Cooks on offence, Westbrook, Hill and now Peters on D...

    Hopefully Peters can come back.

    Absolute bullshite call on hill for lowering his helmet personal foul, he turns side on and the KC player drops his head and runs into him.

    Gave them 1st and goal then they get a go ahead TD next play.

    They have been super flag happy in this game.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
