Why does it sound like a Zulgad piece? Minnesota writers always have such a negative slant.
Clinging, far from secure
I actually read that as encouraging. The thing that stands out to me is that even if we lose one more, the only thing that needs to happen for us to still make the playoffs is the Rams need to also lose once ( @DAL, @SF, vs ARI). So the odds are definitely in our favor. For whatever that's worth.
Really love to see the Bears beat the Packers and the Vikings win in LA. That makes that Xmas Eve's Eve game against the yellow team a title game. Man, I'm nervous already.
With the way the Packers are playing right now... I wouldn't be surprised if the Bears can pull off an upset.
In the second half of the season, the Packers are 3-2 and two of those victories were one score games over the Panthers and Redskins in Lambeau. Their two losses were blowouts. The media keeps looking at that 10-3 record for Green Bay and thinks they are a potential Super Bowl contender, but if you've actually watched them play for the last month... their offense is really inconsistent and struggles to sustain drives and their defense has fallen back to earth after a hot start.
They could easily lost their next two games and then have to go on the road to play a Lions team that should have beat them earlier in the year. It's going to be an exciting next three weeks!
Couldn't agree more. I say it over and over again (with proper credit to the Trapper of course), it's not who you play but when you play them. Bears look scary again, as I thought they might late in the year, and the Packers look like a .500 team. Just saw a breakdown on Twitter of just how bad Rodgers has been.
Please share.

I think the backfield collapse was gonna get there before he probably would have got that throw out.

Typical Rodgers. Loves to improve and be the hero. Kills the offense.

The 2nd tweet was a snapshot of that same play when Rodgers was at the top of his drop. This is when he has to throw the ball.
Go back and look at that tweet 11 sec. in is the top of the drop in the first of the two pics. The safeties still haven't committed to any break so I don't think the throw is there yet. Look at te backside photo---you can see the safeties feet still set, you can't tell if he's leaning on theu nder route or backing out to cover the post.

Not that I really care much about this, but I disagree. If Rodgers steps up in the pocket and throws it's an easy completion to either Allison over the middle or a TD to Lazard on the post. The safety was frozen between so he couldn't have gotten to either ball in time. I agree with Fennell on this. Rodgers gave up on the pass too soon.

With his arm, yes either throw is there. But he held it because it is what he does.

You are blinded by your hatred of the Packers to give Rodgers his due. Its one of the things you and I don't agree about vehemently. Rodgers is elite. He elevates. And if you think he's not going to the Hall of Fame, you're crazy. The stats are there. He's won a Superbowl. He's been a MVP.
The Vikings nor any of their QBs have done shit. That's the bottom line.
