nivek87 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 honestly, i really was not happy that they were stuck with starting Geno from day 1. I love that kid, but he needs a year or two under his belt learning the speed of the NFL before he'll be effective. I think he has potential, but man, talk about being thrown to the wolves in his rookie season while i said earlier, i'm happy ryan kept his job because he definitely has the love of the locker room. lets also not forget the reason geno started day 1. that was possibly the stupidest thing you could do with your starting qb during a preseason game.

jlobban Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 from a gay rights and equality view, i think many players, fans, family, and friends would care. a number of gay players were supposed to come out together this past summer, but it failed due to fear of being ostracized. a huge name such as rodgers coming out (if he is in fact gay) would be a very welcoming way for others to feel comfortable to come out beside instead of living their lives in secrecy and some in fear. so i would say its worth caring about. ok when you put it like that, i totally agree. i guess i meant that it shouldn't matter. not that it doesn't matter. i just think it's insane that in 2013/almost14 that it's still a big deal for someone to be gay. i get that it's the biggest sport in America, but really?

Fox has so much NFL coverage, and well, Fox News is Fox News... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradedOnACurve Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 What's funny about coming out as a celebrity is that if someone comes out (like Robin Roberts) a lot of people online (not here really) posts comments like "Why do I care" and "who cares?" and "why is this news?" Then people (potentially an athlete like Aaron Rodgers) never publicly has said anything about his sexuality (because it should be a non-issue) and then they might get outed and people are shocked, some are outraged (sadly) and then people ask "why did they hide this?" Aren't there people who never publicly come out and get all types of pressure and stupid questions. That why I really don't understand when people keep insisting who cares...

nivek87 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 jim caldwell would be the best candidate for the lions job. they want a winner, they want someone who has an experience with qbs, and they want someone a locker room can respect.

crime Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 they even lost to my road woe ravens for crying out loud. only road win all season. They had the NFC North handed to them. All they needed to do was beat Tampa, the Steelers and the Ravens and they couldn't do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3arl Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 They'll keep it. Not like it really matters though. Peyton won't lose any sleep either way. It's a record that will probably be broken in a year or two anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivek87 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 i think they will have to take it back. if he didn't break it, he didn't break it. also, looks like the browns might get their guy. mcdaniels is interviewing this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWindBlower Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 All of my Lions fan buddies are thrilled that Schwartz is gone, but a few wanted to see the GM get the boot too. I'm still riding high on that nail biter of a game between Green Bay and Chicago. What a fantastic game and outcome. I'm too excited to see the Packers ride out adversity and make the playoffs.

paintedinexile Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Seriously considering driving to Green Bay to see the game this weekend. Tickets for lower level are only $130. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalinacaper Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 That's because they can't sell them. Game might get blacked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDaniels would be a idiot to take that job. He basically has 1 more shot to be a NFL head coach. Why blow it on a less than ideal situation?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 How can they not sell playoff tix? Please don't tell me the weather... It's because when notice went out to pay for postseason tickets the Packers were on the outside looking in and many season ticket holders didn't send the deposits in. The game will still sell out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivek87 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Apparently there is still 1,000s of tickets available for the colts game as well as the bengals game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlobban Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 the Hawks game sold out before some people even got through the server on the ticket site... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
