Aaron Rogers and those Green Bay Packers are on fire.
They continue to dazzle their fans and out flank their opponents week after week.
I wasn’t sure how the Packers were going to be effected this season with the abrupt firing of Mike McCarthy last year but based on how incredibly well they are playing and how fierce and consistent Aaron Rogers continues to person, they truly are playing BETTER and more brilliantly WITHOUT McCarthy.
And here I feared this Packer season was going to be a bust, but to my surprise, delight and enjoyment, the entire team and season continues to be a blast.
Go Packers!!!

It was a good weekend for Jameis who didn’t throw any interceptions, a streak I expect to last for another six days.

The New England games look so perfect that it is depressing to think that the Pats will win two super-bowls in a row. My only wish is that someone stop Tom Brady and the Pats, please!

I saw more smiles on the sidelines between Matt LaFluer and Aaron Rogers yesterday than I ever did in ALL of the seasons Mike McCarthy coached the Packers combined.
For an older player, Rogers continues to get better and improve like a fine wine.
The Pack is finally back!!!

Go Lions? Ford needs to sell that team, but that’s old news.

I'm astonished that Billy Kilmer is mentioned in the same breath as Jackson, Wilson, and Michael Vick.
Ah NY, it's up to the Jets to salvage your weekend...
Jacoby Brissett, your table is ready.
You know something is happening, but you don’t know what it is, do you, mister jones?
Bring back eli

Aaron Rodgers carried the Pack on his back throughout the waning days of Mike McCarthy’s run as coach (and those days waned far longer than any fan could understand).
While the first few weeks of LaFleur football were not exactly what the doctor ordered—Rodgers looked emasculated at moments, as La Fleur answered opponent’s gunslinging with another four yards and a cloud of dust—it’s all making sense now. Rodgers is slinging it, Jones and Williams are tearing up the turf and the receivers? What a next-man-up lineup!
And who EVER thought we’d be chortling about the D??? Smith Brothers, bring it on!!
It’s a great time for cheeseheads, ainna?

And two cast-off New England quarterbacks are strong starters elsewhere.

Billy Kilmer shares a rushing record with Michael Vick, Russell Wilson and Lamar Jackson, surely one for the ages.
"Jaguars 27, Bengals 17 Coach Zac Taylor doesn’t have to worry about the possibility of making history just yet, thanks to Hue Jackson, as Taylor’s 0-7 start to his career as an N.F.L. head coach is only halfway to Jackson’s 0-14 start in Cleveland back in 2016."
What? What about my Tampa Bay Bucs going 0-26 in '76-'77? I remember the t-shirts "Dump McKay in the bay".
The Vikings are quietly making a case that they are contenders.
As usual, Russell Wilson made the Seahawks game all about himself. He's getting sacked much less than in years past but, it seems he's now passively complaining against the new rookie receivers on the team, when the only throws that connect are to Tyler Lockett, the stalwart. He'd better continue with any mental health counselling he's in.

Yeah no. Seahawks fan here. It's like you know nothing about the team.
Without him they'd be nowhere this year. He's saved the coachign staff and their poor play calling and decision making on a few occasions. They're lucky to be 5-2 (having beaten only bad teams so far).
He's the leader. Sometimes a leader asks for more. Heaven knows no one else in that locker room -- including the coaching staff -- have done so.
All you Russ haters seem to forget the decades of misery we had before the mid-2000s. Be grateful we have him. He's one of the best QBs in the league and his stats will likely put him in the hall of fame. Odds dictate you likely won't see another QB of this talent on this team again in your lifetime (not everyone can be as lucky as the Farve/Rodgers Packers).

I keep hearing that teams will "figure out" Lamar Jackson. But the evidence suggests the opposite, he is figuring out the teams. No wonder the Ravens cast off Joe Flacco. Now Denver needs to see the future and cast him off, too.

@Tortuga I'm sure BB will have him figured out by the start of November.
Not only did Aaron Rodgers and the Packers demolish the Raiders but they did it with three of their starters on the sidelines because of injuries. Brilliant game by the Packers. Go Pack!!!
