Everyone acts like the Pats losing to them was OMG SO RANDOM LOL but they only beat the Giants by 3 in the regular season finale, a game where the Pats wanted to run up the score to chase various records.

I'm still mad about that Ravens game from that year with Kyle Boller starting. that should have been the one to break the regular season. I mean freaking Kyle Boller and the 4-8 Ravens almost beat one of the best teams in history.

Suggs or Bart Scott or someone almost had a sack that would have killed the Pats game winning drive or something?

I mean I'm thankful for the Giants of course, but that would have been a hell of a loss.

They stood up Brady on a sneak on 4th down they had to have, but it turns out Rex Ryan called a timeout right before the snap lol.

The 2007 Patriots will never, ever stop being funny. It's got to be a top 5 biggest pratfall in the history of professional sports. That was a team at the height of a type of dominance not seen since the 1960s butchering everything in its path, on the verge of setting a new standard of perfection, and then they run into the Bugs Bunny incarnate of teams and get flung off a cliff while holding a cartoon bomb. They went undefeated up to the Super Bowl in 2007 and then the next year they don't even make the playoffs, thanks to losing at home to the New York Football Jets.

It's so good. It's the kind of thing you could never get away with writing in fiction, only reality is outlandish enough for it to happen.

One of the funnier things about the 07 Pats is the playoff game against the Jags. Del Rio made a big deal about how they were going to bottle up the Pats high scoring offense and weren't going to be beat by Moss. And hey they held Moss to 1 Reception for 14 yards. They did that by completely ignoring the short passing game and Tom just constantly got 5 yard passes off all day going 26 of 28 and Welker had 9 receptions on 10 targets for 54 yards. It might have been one of the dumbest games I have ever watched.

Tom Brady completed 92.9 percent of his passes (26 completions in 28 attempts) setting an all-time NFL record for the highest completion percentage in a game, including regular-season and playoff games (minimum 20 attempts). Tom Brady completed his first 16 passes of the game. His first incompletion was on a pass intended for Benjamin Watson with 10:25 remaining in the third quarter.

The Packers paid are paying Aaron Rodgers $42m to play football in 2022. Only $9.36M of that money is counting on this year's cap - the other money MUST hit future caps.

For instance the other $19.17M of his 2022 cap charge is from his 2018, 2019, and 2021 contract backloading

Green Bay having bad QB play is a dream come true

Green Bay having bad QB play thats also punishing their cap? Phenomenal

Can they even give Jordan love a big contract after his rookie one expires? Doesn't this giant Rodgers contract go too far out for that? And did no one notice? Lol

Edit loves 5th year option is in 2024. 2025 he's ufa unless given new deal

2x edit
2025 version: Cap hit starts at $59.3M

$15.6M available via full void restructures
If he is traded his dead cap jumps to $76.8M
If he retires his dead cap jumps to $76.8M
If he is cut his dead cap jumps to $76.8M

Oh, for sure there would still be dead cap hits. I thought I saw something about about some of his future guarantees would have less of a hit if he decides to retire before the end of the contract. I might be mis-remembering.

A few years ago NHL teams would give out ridiculously long contracts to older players with the salary being almost the league minimum in the years you expected the player to be retired as a way to spread out the average cap hit.

The NHL countered this by making it so if a player signs when he's 35 or older, you were stuck with the cap hit if he retired. NHL teams still got around this by stashing players on IR because anyone that has played hockey that long has some nagging injuries.

So can the Packers just put Rodgers on IR as long as Rodgers agrees?

It's funny how willing the Packers were to move on from Favre and goto Rodgers, which ended up being the correct decision and how they completely hosed that up this time

He'll just retire and make them eat a 75m cap hit rather than chill out on IR like Marian hossa, because Rodgers hates the franchise instead of being glad he won a title there

If I'm reading it right - and I might not be - the gist is that the earlier he retires, the smaller the dead cap hit is. The problem for the Packers is that even the smaller cap hit is still huge.
