Green Bay Packers (2-3)
We tend to speak casually about a shoulder injury, even a separation, although I doubt that Aaron Rodgers really has one. A full separation is an awful, debilitating, highly painful injury, and frankly, I don't see how anyone could play with one, even loaded up wth pain killers.

I thought it was reported numerous times it was a strain or sprain, not a full separation?

It was. It was "officially" i guess a shoulder strain. Its true im sure, that someone could not play with a seperated shoulder. You couldnt throw! But the facts in this case are not right. His shoulder was never seperated. Not even in the game when he hurt it..

Ummm, why does it really matter??? He was in pain and he played well.

I really don't see why someone would even waste their time typing this . . although I'm not sure who actually said it . .

Dr. Z is a moron, and an arsehole on top of it.

There are different degrees of severity with shoulder separations, and they're categorized into 6 types. If no tearing occurred to the ligaments, it is a type I separation, or strain. It's still painful, and it's recommended that you rest it in a sling for a while, but not absolutely necessary. I had one from karate and my teacher misdiagnosed it for me, so I went 2 weeks throwing punches/doing pushups and dealing with the pain until I decided it wasn't getting better and had it diagnosed. It's *possible* to do things with it like throw a football, but it can't feel good - the pain is pretty significant. I feel bad for Rodgers. Keep in mind too though, he has some of the best rehab people helping him out.

And I want to slap Dr. Z upside his smug little empty head.

I guess maybe not a lack of respect for Rodgers playing through pain, but it just kind of bugs me that the kid gets this 'injury prone' label even though he's never missed a start due to injury... the kid fights through pain and this chump doesn't give him any credit for it.

I don't put much stock into the 'national' types, but ... just reading his comment I thought it was inaccurate and I believe he's one of the chumps calling Aaron injury prone.

Dr. Z's been trashing the Pack for a long time. Some of it maybe be deserved, but he seems to go out of his way to get in digs at the Pack whenever he can.

beast (21h) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (22h) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (22h) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (23h) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (23h) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (23h) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (23h) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (23h) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (23h) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (23h) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor

Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one
