What is your favorite Rodgers story from his days with us? It’ll be good to see our old man again!
Oh man, there are so many – both on the field and off. On the personal side, I’ll never forget ranting to him about the “Game of Thrones” finale in 2019. I read all five books in the “A Song of Ice and Fire” series and was so disappointed how the TV show ended. Rodgers was one of the few who devoutly watched it like I did. Professionally, it’s his Hail Mary in Detroit. I’ve written this before, but not only the madness of the play but also the vibe in the locker room afterward. Evan Siegle captured an incredible photo of him in the visiting locker room, but it was the smirk and look of total disbelief on Scott Tolzien’s face that’s forever engrained in my mind. It screamed “How in the hell did you do that?” and summed up Rodgers’ greatness completely.
OK guys, we all know stats are for losers, except for a team’s W-L record. As of the end of Week 7 there are only 12 of 32 teams with a losing record. Eight of them are in the AFC and only four are in the NFC. It seems the road to the playoffs will be tougher in the NFC. Is parity out the door this season with good teams beating up on bad ones, or do you feel the league will reset to a more level field by the end of the season?
More the latter because there are only so many Ws available to the 16 NFC teams. That said, the Packers need to collect as many as they can in their pursuit of their first NFC North title in four years and everything that could come with that.

With Sterling Sharpe, LeRoy Butler and Bobby Dillon now all in the HOF, who are the most deserving senior Packers players and do any have a shot? My picks would be Verne Lewellen, Cecil Isbell and Gale Gillingham, although Isbell might be a stretch because of his short career. Gillingham gets lumped in with Gregg, Ringo and Kramer and the “three OL is enough” argument. Lewellen should be a no-brainer, but he played in the ’20s and early ’30s and there are no voters left who saw him play.
I’m a big fan of Isbell as most of you know and I think a compelling argument can be made for his inclusion in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but Lewellen should be the next Packers player to go in. If the Centennial Slate of 2020 was utilized appropriately, Lewellen would already be in with Bobby Dillon.
I saw Ty’Ron Hopper‘s TFL and feel like he has a lot of potential to make a significant impact. Do you think he will ever see regular snaps this season?
The Packers are loaded at linebacker, but Hopper can play.

So, the cut-down HOF list doesn’t include Clay Matthews. Scanning the list, there doesn’t appear to be an ex-Packer amongst them, am I right?
From what I could tell, Jahri Evans (2017) was the only player with Packers ties among the 52 who advanced.
Good morning, II, not a question but an observation. Kyle from St. Charles described myself and my five brothers to a tee during a Packers game. While we always try to stay positive and hopeful, it seems this year that negativity is creeping more and more into our text exchanges and at game’s end, I find I’m exhausted! From this point forward, I vow to watch the games with more positivity and enjoy the moment and the ride, who knows where it may lead. Serenity now! Serenity now! Serenity now!
If you ride an emotional rollercoaster for six months, you’re fixin’ to wind up with an uneasy stomach.
Wes, I believe I have the solution to stop the Packers’ penalties. The coach fines them their lunch. Problem solved. Welcome everybody! Go Pack Go 🙂
Bold, but it straightened me out pretty quick.
If the new kicking football is now considered an asteroid, the only way to go from here is laser goalposts! How else do you tract a kick as high as the roof?
See, we were ahead of the curve all along.

Per the Dope Sheet, “Including Super Bowl XLV, Green Bay has scored 27-plus points in five of the last six matchups against Pittsburgh.” Sounds like we’re right on track to keep the 27-point win streak alive!
If the Packers score 27 points while ending a 55-year winless streak in Pittsburgh on the same evening…
