Rodgers was responding candidly to a question made by a reporter. I doubt it was meant to say Barnett or Finley weren’t part of the team. It seems that he meant the picture should include those members who have been in the locker room in this playoff run and who will be in the locker room at the Super Bowl. Commenting on the situation was probably a bad idea, but if anyone has a right to speak on the issue it’s the team’s leader.

Either way, as I’ve stated before, this is more of an issue on internet message boards. Rodgers’ comments were made in a routine interview and this “story” really hasn’t materialized in the locker room. The only people it is affecting, negatively, are Barnett and Finley.

“Not I, said the little red LB…not I, said the little red TE.”

“Hey, who wants to show up for SuperBowl credits?”

“I do, said the little red LB….I do said the little red TE.”

Does Rodgers really think there isn’t a difference between a QB rehabbing on IR and a LB or TE? When you have that many guys rehabbing, on top of keeping the active roster healthy enough to keep playing on a week in, week out basis, it’s easy to understand that the higher quality players are going to invest in higher quality treatment (individual treatment) to ensure that their careers can continue at the highest possible level. Once you’re on IR, you’re toast in terms of the team, unless you play QB (the only meaningful contributor to the weekly game plan). So Aaron, instead of alienating some of your more important teammates to tote the company line, keep your nose in your playbook and your mouth closed.

In the end, the QB answered a dumb question and two IR players, who by the way will have nothing to do with the final outcome of the game next Sunday, responded via Twitter, the single dumbest invention in the world.

One of those players (Barnett) just signed his train ticket out of town and the other mistakenly thought he was just defending himself. Both should just shut down their Twitter accounts and behave like adults.

It was a mistake to exclude guys from a potential SB team photo. Guys that have made very real contributions to this team to get them to this point. And this is all the fallout from a dumb mistake by McCarthy.

it’s devisive, disrespectful, and sends a message that the Packers only care about who’s on the field at that given moment. That’s fine for a team like the Raiders or somebody, but the Packers used to be a class organization. Not anymore.

I know I am impressed. I mean the guy has been working hard, 5 hrs a day!
Hey man, the rest of us work our asses off for 8 -12 hrs a day and make a heck of a lot less than you. STFU d-bag.

Players that are activated for the game need to concentrate on getting the job done and deal with these uninvolved inexperienced attention-hound “twits” next season.

The Pittsburgh players are laughing their asses off at the inexperience the Packers are demonstrating. Eliminate distractions! Thanks teammates. It’s “little” things like this that get your ass kicked.

And one last nod to Aaron. He’s right and he’s in charge.

GO PACK.

When there are two really good teams playing (and they are both really good teams) and one has a roster filled with Super Bowl experience, and that team is an underdog, I would say it is is pretty far away to say that is the “worst bet you can make!” I think even the biggest cheese heads will admit that they are 100% certain their team will win. The Jets beat the Pats, and the Colts, and the Seahawks beat the Saints. I don’t think any bet you make in the playoffs is a horrible one, because upsets happen all the time. I think this game has a good chance of being extremely close (which of course means it will be a blowout) so making bold predictions just makes you look bias and stupid.

Collect your money and SHUT UP! There are people who are going to play a game in a few days that need to prep for it and play to their potential with out you distractions. SHUT UP!
