“A gentleman is someone who can play the accordion, but doesn't." - Tom Waits
he needs to grow a pair and play. let the best team win
just jack in full of steroids to numb it and let him play... let Barr and the others break his entire leg off. But it was ridiculous how bad his OL was being allowed to bear hug the Bears. Yeah, I will give the guy credit for making some good throws off of one leg, but why was his entire team allowed to push off, hold, and cheat? Let him play. Make him play.
"Speaking with NBC after Sunday night's stunning comeback, however, Rodgers did allude to there being actual damage in his knee. The medical staff simply determined he could not make it worse."
Huh? So it was really fine after all? He couldn't take another hit to it to damage it further? So his favoring the left leg and hopping on the other was therapy? Sheesh...what a pant-load.
If there couldn't be further damage... I would guess a bruise of some kind... or maybe a problem with his MCL. I had a small tear in mine and they said it would hurt, but it wouldn't tear further. I could get surgery on it... or just rest it... and it would be fine. Of course, I'm no doctor... and I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn last night. And, also, my knee still hurts from time to time. So there is that...

So there is that...when I saw it i said MCL, I had a pretty good tear to mine as well as some other shit and I just let it scar up as my odds of going pro were pretty steep at 28, it still causes grief and I wish I would have had the surgery, but as far as being able to go on it I was able to once the swelling subsided, but there wasnt a lot of strength without significant pain there for a while.
Yeah whatever. He is playing. I hope they crush his whiny ass.
@"Vikergirl" said: Yeah whatever. He is playing. I hope they crush his whiny ass.Yup, no doubt he'll be playing. And we'll have our hands-full.
@"MaroonBells" said:All part of the story line/excuse factory. If they win, he is amazing. If they lose, he gave it his best. Egotistical whiny bitch. If it is stiff and he can't move as well, watch out. Zim is gonna bring the heat.Speaking Monday, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said the team was "still collecting all the information" on Aaron Rodgers' knee injury, and it was uncertain if he would start Week 2. "I know Aaron wants to play and is always driven to play but that's all I have right now," McCarthy said. Rodgers himself has insisted he will start against the Vikings. Speaking with NBC after Sunday night's stunning comeback, however, Rodgers did allude to there being actual damage in his knee. The medical staff simply determined he could not make it worse. Ultimately, it's difficult to envision Rodgers sitting after he came back and dismantled the Bears.
I'm sure it's all about the swelling in his knee matching the swelling in his head. Either way, I hope he plays. People forget that before he was hurt last year, he was largely ineffective on his two series.

And they needed some late game heroics to beat a crappy Dallas team and barely beat a shitty Bengals team in OT... that 4-1 record with Rodgers before he got hurt was a little different when put into context.
I hope he doesn't play, but I'm the stupid one I guess! lol.

There are reports that he sprained his MCL. I think the Packers would be stupid to put him out there if he can't protect himself. They would just be risking further injury to their star QB. I'm sure they'll drag this out until Sunday morning, but I would be surprised if he plays this weekend.
And to be honest, I hope Rodgers doesn't play. It would certainly improve the Vikings chances of winning an important division game on the road. I don't care about beating the best... just win, baby.
fine roll his arse out there on bum wheels---Zim's D can help him make that season ending decision

No excuses, screw that. I want him to play and I want them to beat him. Unleash the hounds.
no matter how this one turns out the Vikings wont win in the media, If we win, its because Rodgers was injured, if we lose its because Rodgers is so heroic and great....

Would be sorta a fitting drama if their new rich QB was on the shelf again.
@"Vikergirl" said: No excuses, screw that. I want him to play and I want them to beat him. Unleash the hounds.Agree. If Rodgers doesn't play, we'll kick their asses and all we'll hear about from the media is how good the Packers "would be" if Rodgers were healthy. Lather, stroke, repeat.
If he does play, it'll be a helluva game, and way more satisfying if we win.
