And all Rodgers had been able to do was watch from the sideline, listen on the coaching headsets and, at one point, toss away his clipboard in disgust.

So, he was asked, would he be back for the team’s next game, Dec. 8 against Atlanta?

“Count on it,” came the reply in the little gray bubble.

Then, mere seconds later, more gray bubbles.

“Hold on,” he wrote. “Lemme think.”


Rodgers has said multiple times that the Packers’ record and playoff odds will not influence him coming back; he has vowed to play again this season regardless. He said so again Thursday, knowing he has four games – vs. Atlanta Dec. 8, at Dallas Dec. 15, vs. Pittsburgh Dec. 22 and at Chicago Dec. 29 – remaining.

“We’ve got 10 days until the Atlanta game,” he wrote. “That should be long enough.”

Well, OK. What do we believe? This or that lame article by some media loser saying shut him down?

I'll go with this.

Strange how more in here are soaking up the negativity of media shit heads and ignoring this - which would seem to be first hand info.

I had the same exact thought. Here we have a first hand encounter from the horses mouth and folks wanna ignore it and wallow in someone rumored report instead.

and I still don't care what anyone says! :-p

I will wait for the injury report to come out this week to see Rodgers as a full participant before I think or feel anything about this 🙂

If there is anything learned through these last 6 games, we 've come to know what a great impact Aaron Rodgers has on this Packers team, and all of the areas outside of QB that require attention.

Should Rodgers come back and the Packers miraculously win the division, GB will be a very hot team to contend with in the playoffs. That underscored by this staff addressing our problem areas.

We'll see.

If Rodgers' return can somehow make the defense perform at least as well as it did in the first half of the season I agree with you. Why the defense fell apart when he got injured is anybody's guess.

IMO we have no chance in hell of making the playoffs even if Rodgers does return if the defense doesn't improve as well. Rodgers can do a lot and with him our offense is certainly one of the best but our defense is playing like a bunch of amateurs right now. Can Aaron Rodgers lead this team to victory in a shootout? Yes he can. Can he lead them to victories in 4 shootouts? I don't know. That would be a tall order even for Superaaron.

He is on par with Adam Schefter reporting. I like them both.

Now, seeing Rodgers say what he is saying is promising but is this just HIM speaking? This is a three headed decision...Rodgers, medical staff and coaching staff from what I understand. So sure, Rodgers is saying he is going to play but I am not going to get my hopes up just because a media guy (who a lot of people had to look up) reported that Rodgers said he was going to play.

He hasn't been cleared yet. When that happens, we can [cheers]

wpr (11h) : 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.
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.
