  2. This is probably better than having a hobbled Rodgers out there.

    Hope Mason has a great game

  14. I’d rather Rodgers get healthy for the stretch of games after the Bears. Mason and the run game should be able to handle the Bears with the amount of injuries they have on defense.

  16. There are 3 things that are certain in life…

    Death

    Taxes

    And Perk Rog cooking the Bears

    It’s a shame he won’t be out there.

  19. Not really that mad at Rudolph playing, just sad it had to be against the Bears. Dont get the Rodgers ownership hype.

  22. Not the decision we wanted, but probably the right one. Rather have Rodgers in tact next week when Buffalo comes to town and let Mason beat up on a wounded Chicago defense

  24. Aaron has not been playing as well the last four games. And we can get the run game going. I think we’re going to see some stuff over the middle and a couple accurate long ones from Mason as long as the o-line can keep the pocket clean most of the time.

  25. With the injury situation in Chicago, we need to put them in the grinder for about 250 yards rushing.

  27. I believe this was the case the whole time. Rodgers already playing to avoid taking hits would be playing with a bum wrist. That would make the offense play even more scared and vulnerable (Rodgers fumbling or issues taking snaps). Mason being capable of taking a hit, stand in the pocket, and push the ball downfield already makes the offense better.

    Let Rodgers heal up, this gives them a much better chance to win

  28. I swear every damn year around this time something happens that risks us having a collapse…
