May not even have to face the Saints anyway. Especially if Atlanta somehow finds a way to win the division.

So I don't think it's as clear cut as you think.

Falcons put up 44 points last week and 31 the week before with Matt Ryan throwing the ball well. It's not like the falcons are offensively challenged themselves. I also would say that the Falcons, defensively, seem to give Brees all he can handle. Kind of like the Bears USUALLY do to Rodgers.

When comparing Rodgers' statistics to Brady's or Brees', people often seem to overlook the fact that Rodgers has already sat for at least three quarters this season. With that in mind, his statistics are nothing short of mind boggling.

1 Aaron Rodgers, QB GB ~ 45 TD's, 6 ints
2 Drew Brees, QB NO ~ 37 TD's, 11 ints
3 Tom Brady, QB NE ~ 36 TD's, 11 ints

With all of that said, ARod put the nail in the coffin last night. Even if all MVP voters were from Louisiana or West Lafayette, IN, ARod's end-of-season 140+ QBR/5 TD performance pretty much ended the debate, IMO.

Yeah, doing a little more research, you're right. Falcons do have the 10th O, so they're no slouches either. They could be a good match up.

Against us, if I wanted an easy win, I'd much rather face the Falcons.

Is the MVP announced before or after the playoffs are done?

If it's before, then maybe Brees should win. Rodgers will have an enormous chip on his shoulder which would just make "1 2 3 Dominate!" even more so. [grin1]

Of course if its after the playoffs, never mind. There's no contest. Rodgers all the way.

There's been a lot of chirping down in New Orleans but as it has beens so well stated in many of the earlier posts, if Mike had turned Aaron loose the whole season and let him finish games, his numbers would well exceed Breeses.

Player awards are great, but this team has stayed focused on their ultimate goal to repeat as SuperBowl Champs.

I fairness to New Orleans, they haven't exactly had many opportunities to play outdoors this year. If I am not mistaken, they play 12 games in domes this year.

Brees with a 4 touchdown game now has 41 TD's but threw 2 picks giving him 13 on the season. Now owns the passing yardage record.

Enjoy your meaningless record, I'll take 50 less yards a game if it means less picks and keeping my QB out of harms way when the game is sealed.

Wow, I watched the Saints game. If he plays us like that against us and we don't pick him 5-6 times, I would be shocked.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

    beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
    wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : 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.
