What is lighting them up? Rodgers in the full 5 games he played threw for more yards and TDs than any of the previous three seasons.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Your list of (available at draft time) WR better than Davante Adams is ... putrid. I'm going to go back to doing work things. Nothing to see here.

Hitting Davante with some quick slants would do both him and Hundley a world of good.

I think it was early in the game Brett threw a nice deep ball that hit Adams in the hand. Why he didn't put two hands out is just stupid in my opinion. It was a very catch-able ball. At least it looked like it on the TV live version.

It was a one hand catchable ball for 17. A guy with better speed would've run under that one.

Not giving more effort on the deep pass was sad, he didn't go all out. If he would have stretched to get two hands and gone to the ground, even if he still missed at least he would have given full effort. I think it was Devante on another 3rd down, Hundley hit him in the hands, the defender was right on him maybe a smidge early, it was contested but still a ball a top WR should have made.

Not that I would suggest getting rid of him, but when contract talks come up we have to remember his is not what Jordy was and should never get paid like he is.

Actually, he should be giving the same effort with either...all out.

He's a good to very good WR. He's been amplified by the greatness of 12.

I would say that if he can perform and make catches instead of missing from a backup QB who isn't a future HOF, that he would do more to increase his value than simply putting up good numbers from Rodgers. Showing that it isn't just the QB throwing that makes him.

I think the guys know our season is over come week 17. So why go all out when it won't matter in the end? JMO
Anyway, I saw (I think it was TE Kendricks) open quickly, and Hundley could have hit him for a nice gain. He didn't throw to him.

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me
