Aaron Rodgers is a nutjob

Green Bay isn't a bad place to live and raise a family if you're not constantly in some fishbowl of conflicting emotions or a negative spotlight. McCarthy is still well liked by many who credit him with winning a lot of football games just as Ditka is still popular in Chicago.  He'll survive it all.

Packer fans are prone to unrealistic expectations fanned by the flames of having 3 HOF QBs to extend their dominance of the NFL in the '60s and the NFCN since 1992 or so when most teams haven't even had one.  They went 16 years with Favre with only one losing season and only two in 11 years under Rodgers when he's played the entire season. 

So only three losing seasons in 27 years?  We should be so lucky.   Expectations are high and last year was the first time it had happened since his rookie season and it came following a year in they failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2008 and we kicked their butts in 2018 with a rookie HC and a very inexperienced 2nd year QB.  That's not acceptable in the Tundra because they're spoiled.

I'm surely not defending Rodgers.  He has more diva in him than he'll ever be willing to admit but the pressure to win up there is little different than it is in NE.  The big difference is they aren't as good at it and their lack of SB wins bothers them as it should.  I can't predict how it will go for them but it's possible they're headed down the same path as the Bears took in the 90s and a decade of losing.  This year may tell a lot.

I can definitely see this going down like the Bears in the 90s. The funny comparison here is the Bucks are killing it right now just like the Bulls did as the Bears faded. I would have no problem with Chicago flipping and dominating the 2020s.

We're certainly due for it and the Bucks and Brewers are both looking very strong while the Bulls and Hawks are down and even the Cubbies are struggling.

The players are in place, age is not a major factor across the board, and the defense has been rebuilt for a SB run.

All that needs to happen now is to avoid key injuries and for Mitch to continue ascending.  If he does we should be very competitive within the NFCN and the NFC in general.  This defense looks better to me than our 2006 SB team provided Pagano can extend what Fangio and Pace have built.

What happens in GB is of no concern to me.  All I care about is that we remain better than they are and take back some NFCN dominance.
