Is anyone else sick of seeing the Patriots in the superbowl?

Think about that 98 year old in Boston who had no team until the late 50/early 60's then got a team, maybe he's sick of us winning 13 NFL Championships? As to the OP I hate it being one team from a whole conference yes, but seriously, to be the man you gotta beat the man, and until someone can consistently do it they're the man.

Rodgers was part of it ... and not the sole reason imo ... just as Rodgers was partly to blame for the slow start aswell ...

- and this is from a Packer fan since 1995 ...

Rookie.

One QB played most of his career before the 2004 rule change when defending the pass ... the other has never played against defenders who were allowed to Seriously bump receivers ...

That wasn't difficult ... all though I understand younger posters not knowing how that rule enforcement Seriously altered the passing game ... not to mention the "Brady-rule" from 2006 ...



But that is a discussion for another thread and time as I believe we've hi-jacked the thread LOL

Your argument is weak.

Since 2005, his season totals in interceptions in order: 29, 18, 15, 22, 7, 19. One great season in '09. The most Rodgers has thrown in a season is 13, second most is 11, and other than that, single digits.

There is absolutely zero correlation in Favre's interception numbers being effected by rule changes.

That doesn't mean I can't be sick of them...

We all know how highly you regard Rodgers ... in your opinion its never Rodgers fault ...

You forgot to include the Packers team stats - the seasons with 29 and 22 ints were also incidently the season the Pack went 4-12 ... and 9-7 ... - Favre wasn't afraid to go all in in Trying to win, he'd rather throw it than take the sack ... some times too much, whereas Rodgers prefers to take the sack rather than chance it too often ...

Again, I'm not saying Rodgers isn't a good QB ... he is AMONG the Best Yes, but he is NOT the Best as many of you claim ... . I highly doubt (as seen often when the Pack is getting Way behind) Rodgers would have been able to lead his team back from the Abyss as We Saw Brady do in The super Bowl (Yes Brady didn't do it alone, but he was a Leader) ...

Honestly, I'm not convinced of that argument at all. Unless it is 3rd down, you can always recover from a sack...so why risk an INT? You'll never win if you keep risking INTs. And Rodgers doesn't always play safe. He walks the edge and makes accurate throws against overlapping coverage.

Don't want to make this into a Favre vs Rodgers borefest, but imo they are simply 2 different ways of playing the game and both players have proved it's equally successful.

OK
Enough Favre v Rodgers debate. We still have an entire Favre subsection. Continue it there.

Once again, after watching the 2016 season it´s ludicrous to suggest Rodgers is to blame for the Packers not winning the Super Bowl. Unfortunately that is true for most of the past six seasons.

You can pretty much lay the blame of this team only making the SB once during the AR era at the feet of the defense...

Pretty much true, but the only two games they lost in the 2011 season, that incredible scoring offense came up with 14 and 20 points, knowing what kind of D they were protecting.

While that's true it's further prove that the defense hasn't been able to pick up the slack in a lot of games once the offense struggled since 2010.
