I disagree. The defense performed very well today, considering all the turnovers the offense committed, and held the Ravens to 13 points up until the very end of the match. With Rodgers, the Packers commit maybe one turnover, and definitely score at least a pair of touchdowns -- which changes the game entirely, changes the strategic approach of both the Packers offense and defense.

Going from the best quarterback in the game to one of the worst changes the game completely. That said, it's a moot point since Rodgers isn't coming back until at least the Panthers game, and probably won't come back this season at all.

I agree but what I meant was that Rodgers coming in tomorrow fully healthy may not be able to "run the table" again. And by the time he could, the Packers could be 5-7 or 5-8. I doubt that even at 9-7 the Packers could make the playoffs. I'd rather have Rodgers sit. Come back next year after we all spend seven months praying for a positive change in the coaching staff.

The Packers right now sorta strike me as being like the mid 2000s teams with Favre, albeit less embarrassing. Same principle though - they're an average at best team with an OK HC, a bad DC and all of the flaws are papered over by having a first ballot HoF QB on the roster.

----------------------

That was an ugly game from Buffalo.

The thing about Peterman is that while the Chargers' pass rush was loving him up early and often, most of the decisions he made were just poor ones. The only good throw he had on the game was the one to Kelvin Benjamin that ended with him getting his knee speared. It was bad poo poo all around. He's not an NFL QB and benching Taylor for him speaks for how poor of an idea it was just by watching the game.

Chargers matched up well against them to begin with but jesus christ Bills.

Chiefs have major injuries on defense and Alex Smith has come back down to earth after playing at an MVP level the first 5-6 weeks of the year. Their defense has completely fallen apart in pretty much any way you'd want to say.

Raiders are a much bigger mystery - I do think some of it is bringing on a new OC, but their WRs have severely underperformed for most of the year - Carr has some passes that were on point that they just whiffed on today, and that's been a microcosm of their season.

Broncos have no legitimate QB, their o-line is a wet paper bag and frankly their coaching blows. Knives are out for Mike McCoy now, even though Elway was the guy who whiffed on drafting QBs/o-line.

The Chargers are the Chargers.

There's a chance the Chargers can get into the playoffs now if the rest of the AFCW plummets the way everybody else did this week.

Or he should if the Chiefs blow anyone out by 40 but that also isn't happening.

actually that's not fair, there were downs where he wasn't offensively awful, like when he was handing the ball to James Connor.

He absolutely should. Accidentally galling into a 2 game lead in a traah division doesn't signify that the Chiefs are a contender.

They are 1-4 over the last 6 weeks and Alex is further regressing over each week. He and the Offense have been figured out.

There's no future with Alex and the 33 year old QB isn't going to grow. It's time to move forward.

It's more about Mahomes needing time to learn the game. He's got all the physical talent in the world but I'm more than comfortable saying he should sit out this year.

Aaron Rodgers would disagree.

Actually he probably wouldn't because he's a giant pile of seething anger over any perceived slight. But the experience of Aaron Rodgers sitting seems to be an obviously good thing.

There's a bunch of other QB's that played and learned from loving up. I'm not buying that he needs to sit an entire year.

There's no way you can convince me the best move is to start a QB that the Head Coach trusts so little, ge calls for Travis Kelce to throw deep.

Things are looking suspiciously good for the Vikings. How will their season end?

A. Keenum gets off to an awful start on Thanksgiving, Teddy comes into the game and gets injured, Keenum's confidence is destroyed and the team loses out.

B. Host Seattle in the wild-card, lose to a game-winning field goal by Blair Walsh.

C. Lose on Thanksgiving, win the rest of their games, lose in the divisional round to the Lions a la the 1999 Jaguars.

D. Lose in the NFC Championship at home to the Saints after every quarterback is injured, Saints win the Super Bowl in Minnesota two weeks later.

The Bills started a rookie QB who ended up throwing five picks against the Chargers D including a pick six. They had short fields to work with all day and it didn't help that the Bills' defense has utterly collapsed since they offloaded Dareus.

Obviously I'm hoping for D but it would involve the Saints organization putting a bounty on a Vikings QB and that honestly smacks of wasting good money

The Packers need to start planning for life without Rodgers. He's getting into the age when most QBs start to regress. He's on the back nine of his career.
