(Recap of Packers vs. Panthers)

Topics:

• X’s & O’s

  • There seemed to be an air of confidence about the team to start the game, even though Rodgers couldn't get a first down.

  • Rodger’s arm looked pretty good to start the game - seemed to have some zip on it, but his timing was off just a bit as he threw behind both Jordy and Cobb on what would normally be easy throws for him

  • It was an absolute crime that Aaron Jones only carried the ball 3 times the entire game - McCarthy and Rodgers will never commit to run the ball even when it’s staring them both right in the face.

  • All 3 interceptions were poor throws from Rodgers - all 3 were underthrown (something he never does). The pick that was meant for Cobb should have been a TD if he threw it high enough over the LB.

  • Davante Adams suffered his 3rd concussion in 14 months on that bush league hit by Thomas Davis. 2 concussions on illegal hits for Adams sucks, but it might affect his contract as he is proving to be concussion prone(!)

  • This was the 1st 3 INT game in 8 years for Rodgers - that is an incredible stat and a testament to his greatness. In fairness the Panthers have a good defense - top 5 in the league I believe.

  • This might have been the poorest collective defensive effort of the year - a no name WR caught 2 TDs and old man Greg Olson caught a WIDE OPEN TD on a blown coverage by Josh Jones

  • Dom Capers is a dead man walking...he might get fired the day after the last regular season game.

  • This team also lacks talent everywhere - it’s pretty depressing actually and that’s on Ted.

• Outside of Football stuff:

  • The titletown district sledding hill opened!

  • More @JSComments!

    • “Our highest paid, best player on the team sits just because the team isn't doing well? Is this the new precedent?”

    • “Why is this superstar wasting his career in Green Bay ? Amazing ignorance on his part.”

    • “This idea of a ‘ community owned team’ isn’t such a good thing after all. Sell the Team. Buyer’s would be lining up”

• Business/League stuff:

  • Jerry Richardson is selling the Carolina Panthers due to his conduct revelations.

  • Vince McMahon is going to bring back the XFL!
