Comments on: Aaron Rodgers says some Pro Bowlers embarrassed themselves

Rodgers loves football so much he missed all the action in the bars where a certain Pittsburgh Steeler was hitting on any potential “gurl” not the female kind; while his wife sat as a necessary but useless accessory at a table nearby- pretending she has no idea what he actually is.

I think he is referring to one Mr. Cameron Newton… Not only did his play on the field suck but him making a spectical of himself by coming out there with his jersey untucked, looking sloppy and CUTTING THE BILL OFF OF HIS PRO BOWL HAT was just unexcuseable.

Dont get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of Cam Newton! “Cam, you are a professional now. Good grief, tuck in your shirt son…

And just like that Aaron Rodgers goes from well liked guy to douche bag who calls other players out for not exerting themselves in a meaningless game that could get them hurt…

—————————————–

You are so right on this. Packer fans would have been all over Favre for calling out his teammates and throwing them under the bus had he said this instead of Rodgers.

@stairwayto7 obviously missed the 27-7 beatdown Mike Vick put on the 12-4 Packers after the 2002 season.

stairwayto7 you obviously didn’t watch Favre in the first ever home play-off loss or the first ever home Championship game loss in Packers history. Be curious to know who he was talking about.

January 4th, 2003. Favre throws two interceptions in a 7-27 loss to Atlanta at home.

January 9th, 2005. Favre throws four interceptions in a 17-31 loss to Minnesota at home.

I loved watching Brett Favre for 15 years, but he did lose in a couple of blowouts at home.

All of you Packer fans who are comparing previous playoff losses with Favre are missing one HUGE element that makes this years loss worse: the Packers were 15-1 this year!! One loss! Let me repeat that for you – ONE loss during the season and then blown out at home in your first playoff game. They were considered by almost everyone to be the best team in the NFL this year, while they were one of 3 teams in the NFC that were 12-4 in 2002.

You lost by 20 to an Atlanta team that had only two more losses than you that season. You lost by 17 this year to a Giants team that had 6 more losses than you on the season. And the score should have been far worse if it wasn’t for two gifts by the refs that lead to 14 of your 20 points. And for whoever said the Atlanta game was over by halftime; I have news for you, so was the game against the Giants.

The Championship loss at home to the Giants was only by three in OT. The loss to the 8-8 Vikings hurt, but the Pack was only 10-6 that year.

No other playoff loss compares to a 15-1 team losing to a 9-7 team, at home, in their first playoff game, by 17 points ! ( & should have been at least 37-6)

What about having the side that wins be the home team for the following Sunday’s Superbowl game. Isn’t that what they do for baseball?

I like Aaron Rodgers. I don’t give a crap what he thinks about the level of effort put forth during a game that is of such great importance that for years it was played after the Super Bowl in Hawaii. The NFL merely wants to puff up the Pro Bowl a bit because they see it as a chance to boost revenue. Rodgers should save his opinions for issues of greater weight.

Rodger’s team fumbling 3 times (should have been 4) and dropping 8 passes is him choking.

Conversely, Manning is credited for being elite, gritty, and clutch in a win versus SF. Eli’s second half was one where every drive quickly ended in a punt unless the 49ers turned the ball over in a place that made it easy for the Giants to score.

I don’t blame the fans for this, half the journalists/bloggers covering the NFL basically just do this:

1. Watch highlights
2. Look at the final score
3. Look at the box score for a given player
4. Write article

Favre never lost a home playoff game that bad!

Favre singlehandidly GAVE the 8-8 Vikings a playoff game there 31-17 if I recall, and Favre threw more picks in one game (your welcome Rams) than Rodgers did in a season.

And oh yea, Rodgers, the Packers play against the Giants was more embarassing than the Pro Bowl game. Just an FYI.

at least is wasn’t 40-0..now THAT was an embarassment..i don’t think since then or before then no one has been shut out in the playoffs like THAT.

most of the guys that played in this game make $250,000-$1,000,000 A GAME.

you think $50,000 or more is going to inspire them to risk injury? some guys make that much in less than a quarter of play.

The pro bowl is a waste of time

By: mackie66

mackie66 — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:51:34 +0000

The pro bowl is the closest thing to flag football. Why play the game? You cant blitz, or press coverage. Rules, rules, rules. Mr Goodell is killing the NFL and no one seems to care. PFT wants a kinder, gentler pro football game. With niceatys. Elect pro bowl players and let it go at that. Its very embarrassing to watch so I never do.

Why are so many people on here hating on Rodgers? If you take offense to what he SAYS then by all means comment, but if you take offense at who he IS as a football player and call him a CHOKER then the fault lies with you. Fan doesnt have to mean braindead. Step your game up kids. One bad game against a good Giants team and all of a sudden he sucks? Grow up.

As for the Pro Bowl. If you dont like the game dont watch it. Nobody is forcing your TV to tune it in. I generally flip the game on for a few minutes. Its supposed to be fun guys.

The NFL Probowl is a disgrace. No one plays, no one coaches, no one hits. They might as well be playing flag football out there. I think I would be more entertained with power puff football instead of the pro bowl. Just get rid of it and replace it with team skills competition. I completely understand that people don’t want to hit in the Pro Bowl..since there is a greater risk of Injury than baseball or hockey. As such just scrap the Pro Bowl all together and get a team skills competition where people run/throw/jump/run a marathon/kayak or whatever else you can come up with. I doubt you would lose anymore viewers.

Green bays defense must have thought that they were so good – that every game was the pro bowl, ever watch them tackle? Or Charles Woodson fall down every game I’m coverage? Or bj raji give up on plays?

By: 22much4ken

It’s funny that you would mention that players were playing like they didn’t care – go back and watch any packers game from this past season and watch the packers defense – every game was played like this years pro bowl . And the same coaching staff was representing the NFC – similarities – HMMM?

What does he expect? No one wants to get hurt out there. I think it’s more fun to watch anyways. No one should be expecting a serious football game, just a bunch of the best players (sans Newton) having some fun out there. I don’t need someone to get crushed for it to be a fun game.

How about taking MLB’s idea and the winner gets home field advantage in the following year’s Super Bowl. Two sites are selected each year for the game, one in an AFC city, the other in an NFC city…winner gets the Super Bowl?

4 seasons as a starter:
Super Bowl Champion
Super Bowl MVP
League MVP in 3 days
2nd longest winning streak in the HISTORY of NFL.
If that is a quarterback is a chocker than your qb my friend just had a full blown heart attack!!(unless he is named Brady or Brees)

To be honest I believe Rodgers was talking about how nobody on the NFC oline stepped up to protect Cam, AFC def said all rules went out the door with the fake punt, trick plays, onside kicks and going for it on 4 th down, all happening in the 1st half. so the AFC def decided to come out hard in the 2nd half. Cam came in thinking it was going to be like how Brees and Rodgers playing time was, no pass rush, pretty much a 7 on 7 drill, they got after Cam, while the O line, pretty much let them in on him every snap, So Cam had to scramble for his life, even Brees had a disgusted look on his face, def was doing stunts, twist, blitzing 5-6 guys, LB blitzing, WR running half ass routes minus Steve Smith, Tony G barely jumps to catch Cam’s ball as a def was in Cam’s face, I watched the pro bowl, from the 2nd qtr to the end, NFC OLINE and Def should be ashamed of themselves.
