Anyone see Tom Brady on the sideline against Pittsburgh?

If Rodgers displays half of that kinda of leadership, the Packers are in good hands for along time. I am okay with him chewing out players or even a slight stare down.

If Donald Driver is consistently making mistakes out there, then Driver should be held accountable. Same goes for any player.

Although, I agree there are times it is called for and it's not. The Driver play didn't really catch me or I didn't think anything of it. Regardless, the players should know Rodgers' personality by now.

Exactly.

Tom Brady is the best QB of the 00s, easily. I'd much rather prefer a comparison between Aaron and Brady than Aaron and Mr. Regular Season. I don't see Aaron whining to refs when things don't go his way like Mr. Regular Season does. I've seen Brady chew out his players, and if the results make the Pats the best O in the NFL, then why are we worried? I'd always wanted an unstoppable O.

The Packer players seem to like Aaron a lot. I think this is much ado about nothing.

warhawk, how much do you want to bet that if Rodgers just smiled at all of the drops or wrong route running that those claiming he's a whiny baby would say he needs to be more of a leader and get the men in line?

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

Not trying to get off topic, but I think Brady is overrated. It's tough to make that case considering how good he has been this season, but what I'm trying to get at is he's had a lot of help in his Super Bowl runs. New England had a top-flight defense, an evil genius head coach, and for two Super Bowl wins he had the punishing Corey Dillon at HB. Great defense, great RB, solid receivers.

Mr. Regular season always had a surplus of talent on offense, but the Colts defense could never stop the run and that's the biggest different between those two teams.

Resume.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

In defense of Cutler, if I had a face like this, I'd feel pathetic and dejected too:

Oh ya one more thing, he really needs to stop with the belt thing, he hasn't won shit yet.

If Rodgers adopted the championship belt move AFTER winning a Superbowl, he would just seem like a dick. It's tongue-in-cheek and a nod to pro wrestling, which he has explained before.

Rodgers is one of the leaders of this team. It's important for him to push his teammates and set a standard for preparedness in the film room and on the field. I like that he got in their faces. He is in no way hypocritical about it either. He is probably harder on himself than on his teammates.

I am rolling in laughter because Aaron has become Brett of the 90's again.. better not note anything about him that isn't shaded in pure gold.

"pack93z" wrote:

Exactly. And it's equally being said whatever he does is not good enough, just as it was about Brett in the '90s. It's very comical. The guy can go play lights out and still have cynics with their bias nitpick things they have no real understanding about.

I was writing an article about this very topic. How I'm reading people defend Aaron like no other, while others nitpick and how drastic it's changed in just a couple years when people were saying "BRING BRETT BACK" before really giving Aaron a real chance.

Yup. And to even think of Peyton, that's right Peyton to Aaron regarding their on-field antics is completely absurd. Peyton whines on the field, looks like he's whining in the huddle and whines on the side line. Aaron's emotions resemble Tom Brady far more closely than Peyton Manning.

I never thought it was a sin to go and get in guys face or raise your tone if something wasn't connecting right. Would we prefer to have him sit there and do nothing?

Look at Carson Palmer in Cincy, he lets his wideouts do the yelling and sits there and takes it. He needs to grow some cohones and tell them to shut and run better routes.

Rodgers is doing everything right in my book, football is a man's game not one where you worry about hurting someones feelings by yelling! lol.

It's a coincidence, but did anyone see NFLN sound FX yesterday?

They had Matt Hassleback mic'd during a game.

He was yelling at players, positioning them, correcting them, etc.

He also told one of the linemen, "I got the skill guys, you get your guys..."

...As in, yelling, motivating, etc.

There is a lot more going on down there (verbally) by the ALL the QB's in this league than we ever get to hear.

Basically the exact same stuff that some are wringing their hands over regarding Rodgers.

This isn't an endorsement of Hassleback by any means, merely an excellent example that fans could hear of what is actually going on down there.

They all accepted his directions, criticisms, etc. (fellow players).

The QB runs the show. Ours is highly qualified to do so. He has earned this authority, (respect) and that much is pretty obvious to all, and I think I can include anyone on our team in that blanket statement.

It was a slow news day.

^ goes along with the mentioning that some complain about things they don't know the full story, but act as if they do. Which is part of our individual opinion and there's no issue with stating it either.

Zero2Cool (5h) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (5h) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (5h) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (5h) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (5h) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (6h) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

dfosterf (6h) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (6h) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (6h) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (6h) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (7h) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (7h) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (11h) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (16h) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (16h) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (23h) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (23h) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over
