2021-2022 NFL Season

[Jockey]

So the NFL isn't requiring proof of vaccinations for players?  They're just taking them at their word, evidently until they test positive?

If true, that would seem to mean that their Covid protocols were not protocols at all.

Just the NFL’s PR machine running a ‘cover your a$$’ operation.

[DegenerateDish]

If I were a Packers fan, I'd be pretty pissed. If he was vaxxed and this was a breakthrough case, it happens. But now he might miss two games, protocol says he can't do anything until Saturday November 13th. Packers are very lucky that this weekend's game is against an AFC team, and the Nov 14th game is at home and a late afternoon start.

If in the next 48 hours the entire Packers QB room is out for Sunday, would they just forfeit Sunday's game? Probably not, the league only has three late afternoon games, and obviously has been heavily marketing Rodgers/Mahomes. What will probably happen is another farce of a game like last year when Denver started Kendall Hinton off the street.

Randall Cobb emergency QB is my guess.

The QB will be whoever Rodgers wants to be QB

My understanding is that Aaron Rodgers has been following protocols for unvaccinated players while inside the building.

Can't imagine they're pleased.

[PointWarrior]

I would provide this as evidence point #12 Rodgers is NOT “all in for the Packers” this year.   Selfish…

[wadesworld]

Like I said all offseason, should've given the guy what he wanted.  Didn't want to be here?  Fair enough.  You have the best WR in football, one of the best RB groups in football, one of the best offensive lines in football, and you've spent draft and money capitol on your defense for the last number of years now, and you'd get a king's ransom for Rodgers.  If the guy you traded up in the first round to take is not good enough to at the very least manage the game enough to win in the NFC North, then that's on you for your lack of ability to identify talent.

Instead we're going to get a guy who wouldn't vaccinate himself causing the Packers to lose their chance at a 1 seed, probably lose a road NFC Title game, and then see the QB and the WR walk for nothing.

Excellent.

[Hards Alumni]

And you thought people didn't like Rodgers before?

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo daddy.

I'm surprised his crystals didn't keep Covid at bay!

I honestly don’t think the Packers could have done anything to motivate Rodgers to get vaccinated. Listening to some of his McAfee stuff, he seems to be diving into some conspiracy theories to come off as an intellectual. I also believe his fiancé is very much into natural medicine.

I don’t take Rodgers not being vaccinated as some indictment against Packers management.

Lazar's people handled AR's documentation paperwork.

Nah.  Not getting vaccinated will make him MORE popular in the 920.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

I am absolutely speechless about this idiot. 

[Pakuni]

I totally get the unhappiness with Rodgers right now, but anyone who thinks this team is above .500 right now without him is out of their minds.
You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and then you have a legit Super Bowl contender.

Unless you trade him and get 2-3 starting caliber players and you get 2 first round draft choices.  Then you're set up for another decade of dominating the NFC North.  It doesn't take a ton to win games in the North.

Now, lose Davante and Rodgers and get nothing in return?  Then yes, you're probably .500 at best.

Eh, just as many in the 414 and 715.

You're usually smart.

The OL is top notch, the RBs are top notch, the best WR in the NFL plays for the Packers.  Defense is currently top 10 ranked.

.500 is a streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch.

But was anyone really going to give them that? This is all pretty speculative.

Dude wins football games. Dude is a lunatic. Like someone said before, you take the good with the bad.

[Spotcheck Billy]

ESPN reporting Rodgers had some alternate treatment he requested they accept as a vaccine but he was refused and practiced unvaxxed protocols (other than press conferences).

You don't beat Arizona, San Francisco or Cincy with Jordan Love or Jimmy Garoppolo at QB.

The Rams gave up their starting quarterback, 2 first round picks, and a second round pick for Matthew Stafford.

[DegenerateDish]

Ruggs was going 156 (!!!!) MPH two seconds before the crash, made impact at 127 MPH. BAC was more than 2x legal limit, and loaded gun in his car.

He should get the max penalty of 20 years.

Hahahahaha <gasp> hahahahaha

Bet it was this fraudster: https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/napa-woman-arrested-fake-covid-19-immunization-and-vaccine-card-scheme

"According to court documents, Mazi offered homeoprophylaxis immunizations for childhood illnesses that she falsely claimed would satisfy the immunization requirements for California schools, and falsified immunization cards that were submitted by parents to California schools. Homeoprophylaxis involves the exposure of an individual to dilute amounts of a disease, purportedly to stimulate the immune system and confer immunity. Mazi is alleged to have falsely claimed that orally ingesting pellets with small amounts of COVID-19 would result in full lifelong immunity from COVID-19."

I'm a Packers fan, but wow it's amazing when someone validates your incredibly low opinion of them in real time. Well done 12, well done.
