I seem to remember a quarterback playing with a broken thumb, when he could barely hold onto the ball, because (as he himself admitted), he wanted to keep his precious consecutive-games streak alive.

He played 9 regular season games that year with a broken thumb:

-He led the league in touchdown passes that year.
-Only had 5 fumbles. 2nd lowest total in his career.
-Completed 65.4 percent of his passes. 2nd best completion percentage in his career.

Kind of hard to do when you can "barely hold onto the ball."

Did you seriously just take a shot at Favre for leading us to the playoffs with a broken thumb?

If so then the wow this year has been a lot worse then I thought.

Anyways on to the topic, Rodgers needs to play and finish the last two games if we finish strong we've seen how much that helps going into the next season, we win out with a double division sweep and we will feed off that at the beginning of next season. Flynn and Brohm will get their time in the Preseason, especially now that Rodgers wont need as many reps as he got this time around.

Damn . . . I just got served by Ironman. I think I will go huddle in the corner for a while, pull the foot out of my mouth, and suck on my throbbing toe.

En route to a 10-6 record, Favre threw 32 TDs that year against -- well -- against 21 INTs. Only Marc Bulger threw more INTs that year.

The Packers scored 442 points that season and only gave up 307 -- an amazing +135 point differential. Imagine how huge the differential might have been had he not given the ball away 21 times!

I'll admit I goofed on this one. What I remembered from that season was the frustration of all those INTs; I'd forgotten about the TDs.

His 32 Tds were also League Leading too just for future reference 😉

I was hoping you'd dig in your heels and defend it anyway !

The sheer entertainment value in watching our token doggie fend off the Packershome.com equivalent of Mogadishu skinnies would have been awesome !

Never fear. I haven't conceded my consecutive-starts claim yet. I'm still digging for documentation.

Check 1999, and 2000. Brett really struggled these 2 years, and it was because of injuries (sprained thumb, sore elbow), and probably should have been benched in favor of Matt Hasselbeck.

No, I say give Rodgers anything and everything he can handle. He should be allowed to struggle when he does with the team and he should be able to rejoice and savour the moments when he wins. He's the leader right now and he needs the experience. There's no need to shy him away from a negative spotlight because this is probably not the only losing season Rodgers will go through. I think Rodgers can bounce back from this season mentally stronger for having been a part of it in its entirety.

why sit aaron. he has played better than the world expected in his 1ST year as a starting qb. the packers are 5-9 simply because they can't hold a 4th quarter lead.

Zero2Cool (22h) : HUMP DAY

beast (22h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (22h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (22h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (22h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (22h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (22h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (22h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (22h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (23h) : S Xavier McKinney named first-team All-Pro by NFLPA

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.
