It sure looked that way to me. He fumbled the ball as he was trying to tuck it. Thoughts?

Dan Needles and Drew Olsen? I don't know their names, but they're talking about that on the radio. They said it should have been the tuck rule. Someone told Jason Wilde to ask Charles Woodson, haha.

Maybe if Rodgers had spray painted the green on his jersey blue and red. Or any other color. He's possibly the least protected star QB in the NFL.

I disagree.. it should not have been covered via the tuck rule, even though that rule is bullshit. lol.

Per the rule, it is only covered while the QB is tucking it back in from a passing motion.. once he has regained control normal rules apply.. if the ball comes out it is a fumble.

So it comes down to defining when the QB has re-established a normal carrying motion.. in this case Rodgers gets the ball in more of a carrying motion than trying to.

Another judgment call with too much gray in it.

I prefer it simpler.. if that arm is going forward in a passing motion, incomplete.. it it is not.. fumble.

Rodgers? He's played in two playoff games, lol. He missed Greg Jennings in over time. That was choking? Or was it choking that he failed to notice the man ready to blitz on the ride side that pressured him into fumbling?

I was thinking the same thing while watching the game, but from the replays I saw, it looked as if the ball was already tucked away when the defender got his hand in there to knock it out.

100%, no 110% agree. I hate all the judgment gray area shenanigans in the rules. IF passer is throwing the ball forward and its knocked out in that motion, incomplete. I'd think everything else is a fumble. Why not give RB's or WR's a tuck rule too?

I was wondering that also but when I saw the replay you see the ball come out when he starts to run. The tv didn't really show a great replay of it maybe someone can find it. But like I said at first I thought of the tuck rule but then it seems like he starts to run then loses it.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Zero2Cool (7h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (11h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (11h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (12h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (12h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (12h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (12h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (12h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (12h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (12h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (12h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (12h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (13h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (13h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (13h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (13h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (14h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (14h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (14h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
