Listening to the press conference with Joe Philbin and someone mentioned Aaron Rodgers needing knee surgery. Anyone else hear anything about this?

Figures!
Just figures!
Why did the Packers give him that contract when they didn't have to.
What a horrendous mistake.
That contract will be a millstone around the Packers neck for years.

If it was known he needed knee surgery after Week 1, then I'm going to have to change my tune and say they should have shut him down probably half way through the season ... around the time we lost to Seahawks and Vikings. That'd be the time to shut him down.

"Postgame scrum"? That's a weird term for a press conference I've never heard before.

- Thats cheating ZTC. We all have to make decisions with imperfect information.
- The knee thing is probably a clean out. You can't move like that (v Jets) with major damage.
- Regardless, WITH THE BENEFIT OF 20/20 HINDSIGHT, many of us were right when we said he should not have played v Jets (and Lions)

Lots of injuries are of the type where its more of a pain management thing than anything else and playing on it will not make it worse. If they knew he would need surgery but playing wouldn't make it worse I have no problem with the decision to play him.

If playing in those games made it worse and now he needs surgery then it was stupid to allow him to play.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : @AaronNagler · 2m Both Jordan Love and Malik Willis were Limited participants at Packers practice today.

Zero2Cool (16h) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (16h) : HUMP DAY

beast (16h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (16h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (16h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (16h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (16h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (16h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (16h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (16h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (18h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (18h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (18h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (18h) : 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

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

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.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol
