Maybe I don’t understand “blog type”, but why were all of the award winners’ names bolded except Winfield’s?

“Rodgers being the first QB to do that is mostly because his coach continues to leave his QB in passing and taking sacks and running up the score regardless of the margin. Rodgers is good and all but he gets more opportunities to pad his stats than any QB I’ve seen.”

Apparently you haven’t even watched a single Packer game this year. If you did, you will know that in all those lopsided games McCarthy took Rodgers out and put Matt Flynn in. He did against Dallas and he did against New York. If the Packers did happen to score again when they were up by a large margin, it either came on a running play or a defensive play.

Next time, actually watch the games rather then assume what happened.

5 TDs on 26 attempts, the ball only hit the ground 5 times (21 completions) 237 yards..I think Josh Freeman was better this week.

Congrats Winfield!

9 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, and 1 touchdown, and 5 of those 14 total stats came on 1 play…

Rodgers is a Top 5 QB, Ryan is Top 15.

Him not being in the pro bowl is fair IMO. Who do you take out? You would have to say Matt Ryan but Ryan has simply been better overall than Rodgers. Rodgers has padded stats in a few lopsided victories but Ryan is better in big situations and once they are up they run the clock out and he doesn’t get those two extra TD passes late in the 4th quarter.

“No quarterback in NFL history has thrown for at least three scores with no picks more times within three seasons of his first start.”

Really?

No offense to Aaron Rogers, who is a GREAT quarterback, but these convoluted, so-called “firsts” the media comes up with sometimes defy belief.

Whats next? “Joe Blow becomes the first white quarterback to sit next to the gatorade cooler 3 rows down from the back of the bench while the opposing coach blows a snot rocket into the cheerleaders.”

Seriously?

How did the NFL miss giving NFC player of the week to Remi Ayodele for urinating on the Falcon’s logo after the game?

Antoine Winfield – who won the award is in regular type and the guy he “put a hurting on” is in bold. That’s lame.

As a Chiefs fan, I was upset about Cassel not getting in but I somewhat understood it (kinda). Rodgers not making it into the pro bowl is just absolutely ridiculous. This guy is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, hands down.
