Tony Romo's syndrome doesn't scare me all that much anymore. He was way off his game last year, especially in the accuracy department. I had wondered if the broken collarbone on his throwing shoulder would affect his passing ability and I think it has. He's a pretty fragile guy now, almost went down with a knee injury last year, so he might never last an entire season again. Another broken collarbone could end his career.

And look how bad the Packers were last year despite all the improvements. I believe they don't have the cap space to make too many improvements this year, so why should we think they'll be a contender this year? Young unproven rookie head coach now too, so there might be some growing pains. Might not be good for the Packers given Rodgers attitude problems.

Now that I've said all that, I expect them to go 13-3, cuz that sounds about right xD.

Aaron Rodgers is definitely not what he once was. And he seems to be a bit of a whiner now in games. Then he shows frustration with his own players yelling at them. I'd love to see one of his teammates punch his whiny face on one of these occasions when he's yelling at them.

To imply Rodgers isnt what he once was due to one year is a bit ridiculous. Its not like last year was his worst year statistically, his team was trash in close games.

Rodgers had a pretty trash year by his own standard but i wouldnt say he was inaccurate. At all.

Since 2008 Rodgers has missed as many starts to injury as Tom Brady. Is he fragile too?

2008 was the season that Brady got hurt in the 1st game, so 15 of his missed games are in one season, the other 4 are in another season. He is the epitome of NOT injury prone. Rogers was getting hurt when he was replacing the iron hillbilly, and has missed at least 1 game in 4 seasons since 2010, 50% of the seasons. Brady has missed games in 1 since 2010, and only 3 seasons where he missed at least 1 game since 2001

I'm just going by what I see. Do you think he looks anything close to what he once was? If you do, then that's fine. But I see a decline physically and decision-making in games. But I am not going by stats, but just the eye-test, FWIW. I could be dead wrong, I'll admit.

Something in Rodgers throwing seems to be off ever since he walked into a Barr. I think that broken collarbone did more to his throwing motion than what is being disclosed. His accuracy seems to be off. Not by much, but just enough to make a difference.

You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you are not capable of great violence, you are not peaceful, you are harmless.

People act like Aaron Rodgers can beat Father-time. But even the great ones eventually see their game decline. This happens in all sports. Yes, Tom Brady is still winning, but he has Belichick, who is arguably the greatest GM/HC of all-time and a rock solid team around him. Even so, Brady has declined too. Fact is, both Brady and Rodgers had about the same QB rating as Mitch Trubisky this past year... all of them were 95-97 passer rating (LINK). I get it, that these were both very great and talented QBs for many years. Both are still pretty decent QBs. But Aaron Rodgers in 2019 isn't the same guy who won a Super Bowl back in the 2010 season.

The Vikings and the Bears are young teams on the way up, IMHO. The Packers still have talent, but I just don't see them being the dominant team of past years.

Not sure why Chicago is completely ignored here.

Going in, everyone always assumes that the Packers are the team to beat. They've proven lately that that's not the case. There's no reason to believe Chicago isn't the team to beat.

Or do you think the loss of Fangio matters that much?

If by lately, you mean this past season, you are correct. However, GB was en route to another division title in 2017 before Rodgers was hurt, and as long as they have him they will be the favriote by default.

Keep in mind who the consistant NFCN team is and who typically emerges from thejr hole before getting scared at the sight of its own shadow and retreating.

The injury happened in Week 6. No one knows anything in Week 6.

It was just announced today that the Packers open up against the Bears on Thursday Night Football, September 5th. LOL, I'm sure Khalil Mack and the boys are shaking in their boots at the thought of facing the unbeatable "The Great One" Aaron Rodgers :-)

Let's see if the Packers can do any of this "blowing out" that Packerfan is talking about.

Time to school Packcycle on reality again. Rodgers completed just 62.31% of his passes last year, which ranked 26th in the league, and just ahead of Case Keenum who was at 62.29%. Not sure what "at all" means in your world, but when someone ranks at the bottom of the league in a particular category, it usually means he wasn't very good at whatever it is you're talking about.

Tom Brady missed 15 starts in 2008 because of a freak knee injury that only happened once. He missed 4 starts in 2016 because of a suspension. That's 19 starts. Otherwise he hasn't missed a start due to injury.

Rodgers missed a start in 2010 because of a concussion, a start in 2011 because they had home field wrapped up, 7 starts in 2013 because of a broken collarbone, 7 more starts in 2017 because of another broken collarbone, and 2 starts because of a coaches precaution. And we can't overlook the knee injury he played through last year. His injuries have been spread out, and he's had one more recently than Brady, so yes it's safe to say he's fragile while Brady is not. Your move Packy.

The Packers were en route to another division title in 2017 with their 4-1 record and 1 game lead over the Vikings in week 6, the same way they were en route to a division title in 2015 when they started 6-0, had a 2½ game lead over the Vikings, before losing 6 of their last 10, including a week 17 game in Lameblow to Teddy Bridgewater and his 99 yards passing, with the division on the line. (roflmao)

Er, so? The same amount of games dude, who cares how they were distributed lol. You could just as easily chide Brady for having missed a whole season whereas Rodgers always returns in season.
