mm has said more than once he wishes the helmet to helmet calls were called more consistently.

Can we agree he's implying, he wishes we'd get them called in our favor more? I think so. I think it's also safe to say he would like to see his QB protected similarly how to we see other QB's protected against us. Consistently.

The helmet to helmet blow by Jamon, I do not think was as bad as it looked. The knee to Rodgers head I think was the most damning blow between the helmet to helmet, knee to head and head to ground. That's a lot of bouncing of the brain.


Did the referee even have a good view of the helmet to helmet? I don't think so, but I think it was a fairly blatant late hit. I could be wrong on that.



Matt Flynn said that Rodgers came off the field fine and everything seemed normal. They played cards on the airplane, etc ...

We have two QB's, Flynn and Rodgers. If Rodgers was in danger of missing a game, we'd elevate a QB to the roster or add one to it. If this is not done by the end of today, or early Wednesday. I think Rodgers plays.

I'm not a doctor, by any stretch, but if a player comes off the field says "im a little woozy", bam, diagnosis concussion! Why would we do that?

To get the play in the headlines of the media. It's everywhere. The helmet to helmet shot Rodgers took could force him out a game or two.

If there's no concussion, this isn't talked about at all and the play isn't reviewed by anyone. With a concussion, it's out there for everyone to see and read about and discuss.

When they first said concussion, I right away thought Matt was going to get his first start. I now think this is more tactical than anything else.

It puts the helmet to helmet no call in the media and forces the Dolphins to prepare for two different QB's.

I think Rodgers sits Wednesday, probably Thursday and practices Friday and plays against the Dolphins.

More than likely will ... what? Miss the game, or play in the game?

hope so zero...i didnt think in this way but it should work...mm never wanna comment officials' calls...but it is time to raise the voice...it looks like arod never is never protected as other QBs...

arod is playing poorly but he still can win this game for us...if we win this one we can be 5-3 or 4-4 at the bye. then all the injured can come back and we can be ready for a long run.

what i am concerned is that i think we have some problems in the locker and maybe some players dont trust Mike McCarthy or Ted Thompson anymore...hopefully this is not true because we have still a shot but we need miami game

They repositioned the crews to try and give more visibility to this issue.. but like most calls.. it is subjective between the crews. Much like holding.. some crews call it tighter than not.

I highly doubt there is some bias towards the Packers... but Mike McCarthy is using an effective tool.. PR to bring it to the attention of the ref crews. Much like teams are doing with Woodson.

Unrelated note.. it pisses me off every time I watch Moss subtly push off to gain that last second separation.. case in point is his TD last night.. only reason he gets that half yard of separation an Cromartie doesn't challenge the catch is that underarm push. All receivers do it to a point.. but Moss does it notably more.

IMO, I would rather have Aaron Rodgers rest this week and getting him back at 100% vs Vikings.

I really think we can manage to beat the Dolphins with Flynn, it'll be tough tho.

I just home CM will be back next week.

Watch all the trolls crawl out of the woodwork if Rodgers does miss time. "Not as durable as Favre . . . injury prone . . . blah, blah, blah . . ."

I agree with what Zero said here. It's a bit convenient that Rodgers had his concussion on "the last play." Not saying he didn't have a concussion but when you look at what's happened I think McCarthy is trying to get the refs to notice this.

Remember last year when Matthews barely grazed Stafford's face mask and they called it? Rodgers has taken many helmet to helmet hits and the only one that's been called was this year in the Bears game (and Rodgers kept trying to point out to the refs that he was getting hit high--only reason it was called).

Yeah, I guarantee if it was up to Rodger's he would be playing. Also, 10 years ago, he plays if he says he can. Rules are just getting more and more tight on these types of things so one really can't compare this situation to Favre's durability, IMO.

Why would he take a week off if he's already 100%? 🙂
