They're trying to get more people to put money on the Vikings. They don't have to hunt so hard for Cowboy fans
Should be a good game tonight between Packers and Tits. GO PACKERS! 
Huge advantage to Cleveland
They just made it interesting though... having a receiver you can count on is huge for a QB
That's the Tannehill we know

My son and I were just talking about this game. He said “Vikings are gonna kill em!”
Me- “I don’t know boy, this is just the kind of game the Cowboys screw around and win!”

That was my point in saying having a receiver you can count on is huge. Last night when Rodgers made that nice TD toss to the corner, announcers mentioned that when they talked to him that he said that it was important the receiver be there when he threw. Saying that he was usually throwing to a spot. I think that happens quite a bit- looking like QB and WR are not on the same page

The wrs doesn't have a qb they can count on either.
why do you think QB's around the league have regressed this year?

Some because of age, injuries,and other factors also contribute. Just like we've seen older guys regress, we've also witnessed younger guys get better like Tua and Hurts. Mahomes and Allen are still playing well as well as Lamar and Herbert. Burrough is out his slump somewhat also and Kirk freaking Collins is having an MVP year.

Just realized he’s a rookie from UH.
Cougars have another dynamo entering the 2023 NFL Draft in WR, Nathaniel Dell. He’s already at 94 catches for 1,193 yards and 14 TD’s with 1 more game left against Tulsa. His size could make him an easy late round pick. His production last season, 90 catches for 1,329 yards and 12 TD’s.

Cowboys certainly taking advantage. Texans taking advantage of the Commandos having a big game let down? Ooh, yeah, not so much.

I was at the game last year when he took the one to the house as a final play after the other team had just did the same. I had him mocked to the Texans in the 4th rd.Just realized he’s a rookie from UH.
Did Rodgers all of the sudden just lose it, or did losing Adams have a lot to do with Rodgers struggles this season. That and the OL has been injured.

Rodgers has always been risk adverse and during his tenure, they've never had 2 wr's popping at the same time which is a bit strange. Normally, there was always someone ready to step in once the primary guy left. Think about it with Jennings then Nelson,then Adams, but none were going off together. GB has always been 1 player away ,especially on the veteran front. Add in the fact Rodgers is not a leader and you get the gumbo of failure.
I'm one who don't believe the narrative that losing a great WR1 and having the QB spread the ball around makes a better QB. Rodgers didn't just lose it. Similar to how Kubiak used Andre. Lafleur was using Adams to dictate coverage, move him around the formation and built the passing game around a dominant WR1. At least the Texans had Hopkins when Andre was released. Who does the Packers have to replace Adams? Cobb and Sammy Watkins who have both been injury prone?
The current Packers' WRs are fast, young, mistake prone and Rodgers can't trust them to always run the right route or even catch the ball. They are not on the same page. The timing of the passing game is off which makes Rodgers hold the ball longer and the injured OL to hold blocks longer.
Yes, Rodgers is a diva and could have spent more of the offseason working with these WRs. However, I blame Lafleur and Gutekunst for their mess. Once they traded Adams and didn't trade Rodgers, they should have done a better job upgrading their WR/TE groups. I guess that has been Rodgers' complaints for the last couple of years.
Did anyone catch comments from Charvarius Ward after he was matched up against DeAndre Hopkins? See below:
“D Hop, he thinks he’s a tough guy,” Ward said in an appearance on KNBR, via NBC Sports Bay Area. “He thinks he still one of the best receivers in the league and he’s really not. He was trying to talk noise and talk hard all game. We’re not scared of him. He thought we were scared of him. He tried to intimidate us, but forget him, we did our thing. We went out there and got a ‘dub’ and we did our job. He was just yip-yapping all game, but we don’t care about that. We just wanted to win.
“He was getting locked up. He was doing some dirty things. He tried to clip me, he grabbed me by the throat. He grabbed my facemask on one play, so I don’t respect his game. That’s steroid boy.”

At his age and his admitted use of Ayahuasca, you can never be sure. It's not like I watch every Packers game. So, I will give him the benefit of the doubt but reserve the right to change my mind.

D-Hop dropped 99 yards on them with the backup and third-string QBs...
Good point. Also, since returning from his suspension. In 5 games, Hopkins has 45 catches for 487 receiving yards and 2 TDs. They play again on the last day of the season.
And yet D-Hop would still be the best player on the Texans by a wide margin.
@thunderkyss, looks like Rodgers has been playing with a broken thumb.
Packers' Aaron Rodgers confirms right thumb is broken (espn.com)
Yep, people who dont like Rodgers are rooting for his demise. SMH.
I like Rodgers.
It's not an insult to say an aging man is getting to that age where his skills drastically diminish. We've seen it before. Tom Brady has proven to be the exception. We're learning where Rodgers is.
WE've learned what he looks like playing with a broken thumb after losing his best WR and 2 best OL.
Doesn't mean I'm hating on Rodgers if I didn't know (like nobody knew) he's been playing with a broken thumb.
