In Brett Favre's final six passes as a Packer:
He went 2-6 for 12 yards, concluding in a game-sealing, season-ending INT at Lambeau Field.
In Aaron Rodgers' final six passes this year:
He went 2-6 for 12 yards, concluding in a game-sealing, season-ending INT at Lambeau Field.
According to Molly Crosby (Mason’s wife), Mason Crosby’s time with the Green Bay Packers has come to an end.
Not official yet, but she made it known.
16 years in Green Bay:
• Packers all-time leading scorer
• Super Bowl Champion
• Plethora of game-winning kicks
Legend.
I will literally never get over the fact that at one point in time the Chicago Bears had 81 wins in the all-time series while the Green Bay Packers had only 57 wins
...and the Packers STILL got to 100 wins first.
It really is the greatest comeback in sports history.
Donald Driver, the Green Bay Packers’ all-time leading receiver, all-time fan favorite and only player to catch at least 20 TDs from both Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers is being inducted into the Black College Football Hall of Fame.
Congrats to Donald, a true Packers legend.
Jordan Love, you now carry the burden of being compared to 30 consecutive years of astounding Hall of Fame QB play in Green Bay.
All eyes will be on you.
But remember, you’re here for a reason.
Just go play ball.
You don’t have to be Favre or Rodgers.
Just be you.
Aaron Rodgers was a much better mentor and friend to Jordan Love than Brett Favre was to Aaron Rodgers.
To me, that’s a large part of Rodgers’ lasting legacy in Green Bay.
Donald Driver is now the only Green Bay Packer to play 200+ games with the team and never play elsewhere.
The others to hit this plateau with the Packers all suited up for another team.
Brett Favre: Jets, Vikings
Aaron Rodgers: Jets
Mason Crosby: Giants
Driver’s legend grows.
Charles Woodson: “I absolutely loved playing with Aaron Rodgers. Nothing but respect. Legend!”
Aaron Rodgers: “Davante Adams is the best player I’ve ever played with”
Charles Woodson: …
Charles Woodson: “Ya know what? The Packers should probably trade Rodgers, honestly”
We love Aaron Rodgers.
We loved the Aaron Rodgers Era in Green Bay. Every second of it — even the painful ones.
It was one of the most successful and exciting periods in team history.
And he was the main reason.
But time forever marches on and things change.
And that’s okay.
QB of the Green Bay Packers — perhaps the most iconic position in professional sports.
And after just one game at Lambeau Field, he’s fully embodied the role.
Truly awesome.
Every single time Aaron Rodgers has thrown two interceptions in the team’s season opener the Green Bay Packers have gone on to win the Super Bowl.
Hope remains.
The Green Bay Packers have won more World Championships than any other NFL franchise.
The Green Bay Packers have won more NFL MVP Awards than any other NFL franchise.
And now, the Green Bay Packers have won more games than any other NFL franchise, too.
Greatest franchise ever.
Mason Crosby, at age 38, goes 4/4 in field goals and scores 14 points in a six point victory that keeps the Packers’ season alive on the day he passes Brett Favre for most consecutive games played in Packers history.
Legendary.
So thankful for 16 years with No. 2.
Aaron Rodgers’ worst complete season as a starting quarterback in the NFL (whichever season you’d deem that to be) would be the greatest quarterback season, statistically speaking, in Chicago Bears history.
I don’t have anything else to add to this, but boy do I find it funny.
The longest tenured Green Bay Packer in the 103 year history of the franchise has said goodbye to the franchise.
What a moment.
All we can say is thank you for everything, Aaron.
You gave all of us so, so much.
The Most 40+ Total TD Seasons in NFL History:
Aaron Rodgers: 5
Drew Brees: 3
Tom Brady: 2
Brett Favre: 2
Peyton Manning: 2
Dan Marino: 2
Steve Young: 2
Brett Favre first posted 8+ Total TDs in the first 3 games of a season in his 5th season as a starter (1996, won MVP)
Aaron Rodgers first posted 8+ Total TDs in the first 3 games of a season in his 4th season as a starter (2011, won MVP)
Jordan Love just did it in year one.
The differences between Bart Starr, Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers can best be explained like this:
I’d want to get coffee with Bart.
I’d want to grab a beer with Brett.
I’d want to eat an edible with Aaron.
No option is necessarily better than the others, but each are unique.
Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning and Dan Marino—three of the greatest throwers of the football ever—have combined to win three Super Bowls.
That’s less than Terry Bradshaw (4).
The NFL is clearly the ultimate team game and that’s why it’s, by far, the most popular American sport.
Davante Adams and Aaron Jones have both scored 20+ TDs in their last 20 games played.
This is the first time in Packers history a set of teammates have congruently scored 20+ TDs in their last 20 games played.
They’re, arguably, the most dynamic WR-RB duo in franchise history.
This historically young Packers team faced three must-win games to close out the season — with the playoffs on the line.
Aaron Jones did this when it mattered most:
135 Total Yards vs CAR
130 Total Yards vs MIN
141 Total Yards vs CHI
One of the greatest leaders in team history
This Sunday Night Football game against the Detroit Lions could be the last time time these two guys—the two longest tenured players in team history—suit up at Lambeau Field.
It might not be, but it could be.
Savor every damn second.
Rasul Douglas had a legendary eight-game stretch for the Packers this year.
Douglas from Week 8 through Week 16:
5 INTs, 2 TDs, 11 Passes Defended, 40 Tackles
Charles Woodson's best eight-game stretch from his DPOY 2009 season:
5 INTs, 2 TDs, 13 Passes Defended, 39 Tackles
Recent Packers WR's fumbles after 42 career games:
Marquez Valdes-Scantling: 1
Antonio Freeman: 11
Randall Cobb: 7
Jordy Nelson: 5
Robert Brooks: 4
Greg Jennings: 3
James Jones: 3
Davante Adams: 2
Donald Driver: 1
MVS has a similar number of touches to some of these guys, too.
This September, Aaron Rodgers will become the first player to ever suit up for the Green Bay Packers for a 17th season in the 101 year history of the franchise.
Of all the Packers legends that came before him, the reigning league MVP is in a class of his own.
Icon.
Jordan Love was poised and confident at the podium and then Aaron Jones got on the mic and spent minutes gassing up his QB.
Jones is such an important leader for the Green Bay Packers.
Love having Jones in the backfield with him to start his career will be incredibly valuable.
Aaron Rodgers has thrown more touchdown passes in his last 72 games (dating back to Oct. 30, 2016) than any Bears quarterback has thrown in their entire career in Chicago.
The Bears are a 101 year old franchise.
Aaron Rodgers just became the first player in the history of the Green Bay Packers to account for 500 Total Touchdowns.
Total Touchdowns include passing and rushing scores in the regular season and postseason.
Congrats, Aaron.
Never know when it’s going to be a player’s last game at Lambeau Field.
Who knows what the injury is or what the future holds, but if that was his last play in Green Bay, we salute him.
Aaron Jones is an all-time great Packer and person.
Hopefully it’s not as bad as it looks.
Aaron Jones scored his 63rd career touchdown today…
In just 91 career games.
In doing so he surpassed Paul Hornung (Hall of Fame) and Donald Driver on the Packers’ all-time TD list.
Hornung scored 62 TDs in 104 games, Driver scored 62 in 205.
Jones is an all-time great.
10 MVP Awards in one legendary picture.
Seven AP MVP Awards; three Super Bowl MVP Awards.
Four Super Bowl wins; seven World Championships.
1170 Total TDs put up between them, including the postseason.
There is no position in sports like quarterback of the Green Bay Packers.
Green Bay Packers all-time receiving touchdown leaders:
No. 1: Don Hutson (99 TDs)
No. 2: Davante Adams (73 TDs)
Both played exactly 116 games for the Packers.
One is in his prime today, one retired in 1945.
Don Hutson is the most underrated player in NFL history, by a mile.
Rashan Gary and Jordan Love are the cornerstones of the next exciting era of Packers football.
And right now we’re watching the genesis of that era in earnest.
Just beautiful.
Za'Darius Smith joins Reggie White and Clay Matthews in putting up at least three sacks in his first three postseason games with the Green Bay Packers.
The legacy lives on through Za'Darius.
Reggie and Clay both helped lead the Packers to a Super Bowl victory. You're next, Z.
Brian Gutekunst moved on from all-time fan-favorite RT Bryan Bulaga following the 2019 season.
Since then, Bulaga has played just five complete games for the Chargers.
All while Billy Turner, RT, has played 26 consecutive complete games for the Packers.
Credit to Gute & Billy.
Just imagining some poor Bears fan father tucking his kid in every night for two years saying, “Don’t worry, Aaron Rodgers and Randall Cobb can’t hurt you anymore” and then waking up to the news today
@NHWharfRat
@farmereva_
And a lack of stress.
They have stress for sure, but not the mortgage is late, can’t pay for anything, the kid is sick, have to work a second job stress.
It seems if the Packers didn’t franchise tag Davante Adams he was gone for nothing.
By franchise tagging him they got a first and second round pick.
Big moment in the Brian Gutekunst Era. He didn’t blink. Tough day, but a big win for the franchise and the fans.
Ahem…
The Packers don’t luck into franchise QBs.
They invest heavily in the position — before they’re in a position of need.
They don’t rush along development. They learn & build confidence while watching an established QB play. Then they hand over the keys.
It’s a formula.
Randall Cobb has scored more fourth quarter TDs against the Chicago Bears than any current Bear has scored total TDs against the Green Bay Packers.
The onslaught continues Sunday.
This should have been game.
The defense did their part, yet again, in the most crucial moment.
Give me an upcoming era of Packers football led by an aggressive defense like this that fears absolutely no one.
Keep investing in the defense, Gutekunst. Defense wins championships.
The last time Brett Favre threw double-digit interceptions in a single-season:
2010
The last time Aaron Rodgers threw double-digit interceptions in a single-season:
2010
A reminder:
No RB has more career rush yards than Ron Dayne & no RB has more career TDs than Montee Ball & no RB has a higher career yards/rush than Melvin Gordon & no RB has more career 200 yard rush games than Jonathan Taylor. All Badgers.
Wisconsin is “Running Back U” dammit
NFL franchises with the most decades with 7+ winning seasons:
Green Bay Packers: 7
Chicago Bears: 4
Pittsburgh Steelers: 4
Kansas City Chiefs: 3
Washington: 3
There is nothing ordinary about the Packers’ sustained success over the last 100 years.
The only ball carriers in NFL history to record 40+ Rushing TDs while maintaining a 5.0+ Yards Per Carry average through their first six NFL seasons:
Jim Brown (1957-1962)
Aaron Jones (2017-2022)
Aaron Rodgers won an MVP before Davante Adams was a Packer.
Rodgers won an MVP with a rookie Adams (38 receptions).
Rodgers won two MVPs with prime Adams.
For his next trick, Rodgers will win a final MVP once again without Adams, tying Peyton Manning for most in NFL history.
Charles Woodson had more INTs in his first four years with the Green Bay Packers (28) than he had in all 11 of his years with the Oakland Raiders (27).
...and then he had 10 more INTs in his next three years with the Packers.
He made the Hall of Fame because of his time in GB.
Jordan Love just threw his 30th TD pass of the season in his first year as a starter.
…which is more TDs than any QB in the history of the Chicago Bears has ever thrown in a single-season.
Rashan Gary is going to be a Defensive Player of the Year candidate in the near future, perhaps this fall.
The man works too hard, cares too much, and has too much skill to be contained. He’s growing as a leader for the Packers and his time is quickly approaching.
That is all.
In the last five years:
The Green Bay Packers, despite two serious Aaron Rodgers injuries, constant “under-achieving,” missing the playoffs twice and changing head coaches, still have as many postseason wins as the Vikings, Bears and Lions in the last TEN years.
Combined.
Davante Adams and Donald Driver are currently tied with 62 Total TDs scored for the Green Bay Packers.
Driver, the Packers' all-time receiving leader and eternal fan-favorite, played 205 games for the Packers.
Incredibly, Adams has played just 100 games -- he is that dominant.
Aaron Rodgers’ Green Bay Packers are 40-14 in the month of December.
His Packers have won 74% of their games in the most important month of the regular season.
12 always gives you a chance.
When it’s all said and done, his December dominance will be a large part of his legacy.
No, it doesn’t really mean much, but it’s worth noting that Jordan Love’s 37 yard run today was longer than any run Aaron Rodgers recorded for the Packers over his 18 year career in Green Bay.
Love certainly has a basket of tools to work with, huh?
Most TD passes by Green Bay Packers QBs against the Chicago Bears all-time:
1- Brett Favre: 53 TDs
2- Aaron Rodgers: 51 TDs
Most TD passes by Chicago Bears QBs against the Green Bay Packers all-time:
1- Sid Luckman: 17 TDs
2- Jay Cutler: 15 TDs
11 touches for Aaron Jones today.
At a certain point he’s either ready to play football or not.
If he isn’t ready, shut him down until he is.
If he is ready, shame on you for not getting him 20 touches.
It’s so confusing. Best player on the team and he’s an afterthought.
Every NFL Running Back that put up 3,000+ Total Yards and 30+ Total TDs over the last two seasons:
Aaron Jones
Dalvin Cook
Derrick Henry
Now look at how many total touches each of these elite RBs had in 2019-20:
Jones: 533 touches
Cook: 659 touches
Henry: 718 touches
One of the most wholesome friendships in the history of the Green Bay Packers.
12 and 18 are an important reminder to hug your friends as often as possible and never be afraid to cry with them.
No toxic masculinity here, just pure love.
Aaron Jones gives a shit.
Aaron Jones fights on every snap.
Aaron Jones is one hell of a leader.
Even if this game gets uglier, he’s still such a joy to watch.
Aaron Rodgers needs five TD passes in his two games against the Chicago Bears in 2021 to tie Brett Favre for most TD passes against the Bears in NFL history.
...and if he throws 32 INTs in those two games he’ll also tie Favre for most INTs against the Bears.
Staggering.
Let me start out by saying that Julio Jones is a transcendent football player.
Julio Jones career starts: 134
Davante Adams career starts: 93
Julio Jones career TDs: 60
Davante Adams career TDs: 62
The career we are witnessing in Green Bay right now is absolutely insane.
Who is the best edge rusher in the NFC North?
Chicago's Khalil Mack since 2018:
27.5 sacks, 41 QB hits, 26 tackles for loss in 42 games
Green Bay's Za'Darius Smith since 2019:
24 sacks, 58 QB hits, 28 tackles for loss in 28 games
These three are really going to come up together, huh?
No veteran pass catchers kept around, as of yet. No veteran pass catchers brought in, as of yet.
Just the three of them learning and growing together. It won’t be perfect, but it sure as hell will be fun.
Can’t wait.
Justin Jefferson was so defeated by Jaire Alexander that by the time Robert Tonyan scored the Packers’ offense felt the need to hide his mock-griddy from Jefferson as to not further embarrass him.
Now that’s class.
Aaron Rodgers’ final game as a Green Bay Packer against the Chicago Bears was a memorable one.
Green Bay trailed 19-10 in the fourth quarter, but won the game 28-19.
In the win, the Packers snatched the title as the NFL’s winningest franchise from the Bears — at Soldier Field.
Aaron Jones has surpassed John Brockington (1971-77) for third place on the Green Bay Packers’ all-time rushing list.
Jones surpassed him with over 300 fewer carries.
Brockington was one of the toughest runners in Packers history. Jones is one of the most dynamic.
Congrats 33!
