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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
