Aaron Rodgers Flushed Any Chance of GOAT with 2015 Performance· Page 2

Does this kill his GOAT aspirations? I think so. His playoff record is already questionable as are his playoff performances. A season like the one past is hard to erase. Yes, I know all the reasons and excuses people have for why things went south. It's garbage. Carolina loses their top WR in Benjamin, and they have a brutal WR corps behind him and they almost post a perfect season and go to the SB. How is that possible? How could Cam Newton lead the Panthers to 15-1 and a SB appearance with his top WR out? Meanwhile, the league MVP loses his top guy and folds like a cheap lawn chair all the while his adoring fans making excuses ala the days of Brett. I'm as big of Aaron Rodgers fan as anyone on this board. I love the guy. However, he was pathetic on many levels last year beyond the patheticness of the excuses being floated for him now.

Either way, I still could care less about GOAT. I just want the PACKERS to win another Super Bowl. Not necessarily Aaron Rodgers, Clay Mathews, Ted Thompson, or anyone else. I wouldn't mind having the Greatest Team of All Time discussion based on Super Bowl wins and general dominance, although nothing can ever be proved one way or the other. I don't care about greatest player of all time debates.

I am pretty sure that if Rodgers wins another Super Bowl MVP in the near future that the greatest of all time conversations will start to pop up.

You know, I don't really think that Rodgers had an "awful" season last year.
Average? Yes. By NFL standards he was average.
We are used to such a high standard of play from him, that when he plays like an average QB, some think he sucks.

As long as he bounces back, and this wasn't the beginning of a trend, then no it doesn't.

We can talk about how terrible his season was and the fact that the voting for the Pro Bowl sucks but the fact is he was selected to the Pro Bowl even on a down year.

Like Doddpower said, I want the Packers to win the Lombardi Trophy, not The Aaron Rodgers GOAT trophy. He's not a god, he's a human, a human who is very good at what he does, but isn't perfect, no great QB was or is, they have all had down years. To win a Superbowl you need a Good QB, but that's also not the only ingredient you need, you need good players and solid leadership up and down the team to get the Lombardi. I don't think Rodgers gives a crap if he's GOAT or not, I bet alot of fans have the same thought process. He just wants his team to win it all with him.

I would much rather hear we were one of the greatest Teams of all time over they had the greatest Qb of all time. Individual records are nice but team records bring the Lombardi Trophy to Green Bay.

Who cares if he is or isn't the Greatest of All-Time? He's good. Enjoy it. He wasn't last year. Hopefully we can forget about it. Despite not being "good", his stats were still in the upper echelon of players at the position.

Favre will always be my GOAT. I'm just glad we have a QB who knows how to play.

Then take into consideration the guy with all the titles - Bart Starr. The fans of the Green Bay Packers have been very blessed at quarterback. Hell, even Lynn Dickey was a very good passer, just had dog shit defenses backing him up.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (1h) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (3h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (3h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (4h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (4h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (4h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (4h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (4h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (4h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (5h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (5h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (5h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (5h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (5h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (6h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (6h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (6h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (6h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (7h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (7h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (7h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (7h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (7h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (8h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (9h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (9h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (10h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (10h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (10h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (10h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (10h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (10h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (10h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (10h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (10h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (10h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (10h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (10h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (10h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (10h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (10h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (10h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (10h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (10h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (10h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (10h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (10h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (11h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us
