That statement is so wrong on so many levels I can't take it seriously. If you are being sarcastic, then follow your own rule. If you are being a dick because you're mad about something I said recently, at least have the decency to admit to it.

Exactly! If Aaron hadn't had fallen into a great situation of those Brett-made receivers and able to sit and watch Brett, a future hall of famer, he would not have put up close to those numbers in '08. Brett on the Packers in '08 would have been 11 - 5 with three playoff wins.

Compare Favres '08 season with his 24 turnovers and 81 rating. Since he was hurt and refused to come out, he would not have improved the record of The Packers and more likely would have made it worse. Since the losses they did have were mostly due to the D and ST failures.

The best way to compare would be side by side. Playing on the same team and against the same opponent on the same day.

That did happen in '07 against Dallas. Favre started the game, threw 2 picks and was knocked out of the game after 20 minutes where he posted a rating under 10. Rodgers came in, threw 2 TDs and posted a rating over 100.

Rodgers did light it up in the '07 preseason and had a rating over 98.

Cowboys were prepared for a statue QB, not a mobile QB. That changes things whether you understand how Rodgers fell into a good situation against the Cowboys or not.

Quit trying to compare apples to oranges to bananas. It's not a good situation to fall into.

Not even considering that Favre didn't want to be here in Green Bay and wouldn't have played with any passion. It would have probably been worse than the '06 season.

The only comment Aaron Rodgers would have is he'd be surprised it took Brett Favre that many years to put together a 13+ win regular season record.

Like the conjecture that Favre would have had a better '08 season in Green Bay than Rodgers?

Zero2Cool (now) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (now) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (14m) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (16m) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (17m) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (18m) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (18m) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (22m) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (22m) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23m) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (23m) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (25m) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (27m) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (31m) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (33m) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (33m) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (42m) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (48m) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (51m) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (51m) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (53m) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (1h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (1h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (1h) : Packers will get in

beast (1h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (1h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (1h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (2h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (4h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (4h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (4h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (5h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (14h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (14h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (18h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.
