All Takes
The Packers-Falcons NFC Championship game will be a 38-35 high-scoring affair
It's a historic over-under for any conference championship or a Super Bowl, and I still think it's too low. I tend to think this is going to be like 38-35 type game.
Aaron Rodgers will fake an injury if the Packers are losing big in the second half
Yeah, probably sometime around the third quarter, if they're losing by more than two touchdowns, there will be a sudden ailment to his elbow. He'll go in the tent... and Joe Buck will go on for like five minutes about the importance of stretching.
Aaron Rodgers is currently playing the worst football of his career
He's playing so poorly right now. Packer fans definitely don't want to hear it, but he is playing the worst ball he's played in his career, and it's pretty much everything that's failing him. Everything. His footwork, his mechanics, his ability to not look at the rush, pre-reads, post-reads, everything.
Aaron Rodgers has a case of 'the yips' and is turning down open looks for bigger plays
I think it's a case of the yips. And I think you look at things where he's turning down open looks trying to find a bigger play, and then things break down and he rushes outside the pocket, and he used to make big plays doing that, and those big plays have dried up.
Aaron Rodgers is a nerd
Well, we know he's a nerd. Princess Bride is his favorite movie. Name me a nerd that won the Super Bowl.
The shelf life for an NFL coach in one spot is about ten years
Mike McCarthy in general, hey, man, he's been here 10 years. And Bill Walsh always said, you know, you're in the same place for 10 years. That's kind of your shelf life as an NFL coach. So, I don't know. Maybe his message is getting stale.
The Packers will barely beat the Bears in an ugly, low-scoring game on Thursday Night Football
It's going to be ugly. It's going to be low scoring. I do think the Packers win, but just barely. A lot of punts. John Fox, I feel like he's going to do that thing where he just runs the ball a bunch and punts. It's going to be ugly.
