NFL GDT: Week 1 - Part 2

[mouser]

That game was complete nuts.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Is this game really stunning? Man I don't think I've heard a bigger group of national TV homers for one player like I have tonight for Rodgers by NBC. My goodness calm down.

I never understood why he is such a media darling.

The guy is top 10 ever (at worse), but he is kind of a dick. Maybe because he gives them.good soundbites.

 

[robertmac43]

Poor Fuller has to live with dropping that ball...

 

[Captain Bowie]

Still so pissed off at Matthews

What a ****ing idiot

Yeah, that was potentially a Burfict or Pacman level of game costing stupidity.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

This is why you don't go into a shell at half time. After the game became tight, the Bears had no juice except for one drive in which Jordan Howard did everything.

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

That was frustrating, infuriating, annoying, dumb but also super fun.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

He did it on one leg. The Bears were in control.

And then the Bears choked. It was a great performance, I don't deny that, but this was almost a bit of romanticism by NBC.

Would you rather have fraud Russell Wilson doing his salesman shit?

He's a huge star. Deal with it.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Against the f***ing Bears... at home.

I mean, he played great in the 2nd half, but the hyperbole was over the top.

Hell, I wouldn't even have risked his long-term health down by 20. Kudos to them for trusting him though. Hopefully the injury is nothing severe.

He’s the best QB in the league? Why are guys like Brady, Brees and others loved by the media? Because they’re all really really good at their jobs.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Would you rather have fraud Russell Wilson doing his salesman ****?

And thanking God and shit? No

I mean, my criticism is more of the media, not Rodgers.

They do the same thing with Brady. Did the same with Manning. Same thing in other sport.

I'm guessing its a hyperextension of some sort. It'll be sore for a few days but a little RICE and he should be good.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Well, I think the best QB performance today was Ryan Fitzpatrick. Going into New Orleans expected to lose and then have a performance like that? But what do I know.

And I agree with @Scandale du Jour. I'm not denying Rodgers is a big star. He's an awesome QB. My issue is the Media's (arguably) "over the top" reaction to him compared to other players in the league.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Where do you rank Rodgers all time?

 

[Scandale du Jour]

He’s the best QB in the league? Why are guys like Brady, Brees and others loved by the media? Because they’re all really really good at their jobs.

Best is debatable and I have no desire to have that debate.

They may be over the.top like that with Brady, but never with Brees. If anything, Brees is very underrated.(respected, but not enough compared to Rodgers and Brady).

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

This is what Rodgers does

Favre did it before him

I suspect Kizer will turn out to be franchise QB in a few years when Rodgers retires

And then some other QB will do it as Packer after Kizer

25 years of watching Packer QB do this to Bears breaks your spirit

 

[CraigsList]

I just witnessed one of the greatest comebacks in Packers history. Amazing game to watch. Rodgers and Mack played stupendous football.

 

[Avs_19]

This one is really going to hurt for the Bears. They had so many chances to finish it. Fuller's dropped pick six will get talked about quite a bit but you can go back to that incomplete pass on 3rd and 1 in the red zone as well. Hindsight and all but Howard was running all over then so I don't know why you put the ball in Trubisky's hands when he was really fighting it in the second half.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

I'm guessing its a hyperextension of some sort. It'll be sore for a few days but a little RICE and he should be good.

I hope so. NFL football is much more enjoyable with a 100% healthy Rodgers.

 

[robertmac43]

Overall unreal day:

Skins win, Cowboys and Giants lose, and some of the neutral games were unreal! Love having the NFL back in full swing.

 

[Carlzner]

Well, I think the best QB performance today was Ryan Fitzpatrick. Going into New Orleans expected to lose and then have a performance like that? But what do I know.

Clearly the NBC announcers should have talked about Ryan Fitzpatrick for 75% of the game tonight

 

[robertmac43]

bit but you can go back to that incomplete pass on 3rd and 1 in the red zone as well

I don't get the play all there. Why not just pound it up the middle with a run.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

That playcall + the dropped INT would be my biggest.complaints.if I were a Bears fan.

Careful. Your guy hasn't shown enough yet for this kind of mud slinging, and Wilson dorky as he is, won us games single-handedly last year with half a defense and no run game.
