Do we make it far this year?

Our chances certainly just improved.

 

2009 Packers game. Four lead changes in the last eight minutes. With 3 seconds left on the GB 19, Ben hits Wallace for the (replay challenged) winning score (after Reed's extra point).

Rodgers passes for 383 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs (101.3 QBR). Ben 503 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs (121.9 QBR).

 

I remember this game. I was home on Christmas leave. The entire bar was going crazy. Fun game for sure.

 

Nice one. But be honest at that point in time Rodgers was not the guy he was that ben faced in the SB.

 

I like the cut of your jib, son - just hope you didn't bet the mortgage on that outcome.

 

Didn't Ben have a perfect passer rating just 3 weeks ago? His 5th career game with a perfect rating?

 

That game was part of the 'Unleash Hell' campaign. Unfortunately, the Steelers had been eliminated from playoff contention the week before...by the Cleveland Browns.

 

In 2009 the wasnt getting referred to as the best talent to play the position and all those things. Rodgers after the sb and then the mvp year in 2011 then started showing he was all time great. I dont remember anyone calling him the best 1b in the nfl in 2009. That's the current standard he is held at.

 

In 2009 top 5 was manning, brady, brees, rivers, and farve. Rodgers was top ten but he was not considered elite until after that sb and the mvp year. And i never said anything bad about ben nor did I say he cant outgun elite QBs. I was just saying Rodgers was not the Rodgers we looked at now are you not understanding that you have hall of fame guys saying now he's the best they've ever seen. They were not saying that in 2009.

 

There's a very real possibility of us and NE playing on WC weekend. No way Texans lose two more games. Thus, a loss tomorrow to LA pretty much ensures us playing on WC weekend.

 

I'm not disputing what you're saying. It's not incomprehensible to think that you took from what he did in 2009 and had that assessment of him. I cant go with early in career as an excuse. Do you see the praise pat mahomes is getting as a first yr starter?

 

I did vote but with cautious optimism. Team has to take care of business. I truly thought this was the year where the dreaded "P.DT.C." (Play Down To Competition) narrative would be put to rest. Sadly.. that was not the case.



I will be intriguied to see how the defense bounces back. Keep in mind the defense has not generated too many turnovers in the past couple of games.

 

when u wre 9 yr old u don t remmmber this

 

So, you're just going to close your eyes and stick your fingers in your ears during his Hall of Fame induction ceremony?

 

So much hate vs Ben lol.


4-5 win team without him. Playoff contender with him. Need a defense to counter his clunkers though

 

Absolutely. Big ben is a 1st ballot hall of Famer in my book. But I do think he's a level below the Montana's, bradys, mannings, elways off the world.

 

or cheerleaders and we might start with your avatar being the head cheerleader

 

shut your fat mouth

 

Nothing like the days surrounding a playoff game. I’m tryna get as many as I can.
