From CBS Sports: Rodgers has completed 23 of his 38 attempts against the blitz (60.5%, 20th in NFL) for 207 yards and two touchdowns for a 92.8 passer rating (17th in the NFL) this season. Rodgers has averaged 5.4 yards per pass attempt when blitzed, the eight-fewest in the NFL.

He's gotten older and the defenses have stayed the same age. That's s quasi-reference to Wooderson from Dazed and Confused. You all probably knew that.

That's what I love about these NFL defenses, man....

I updated the streaming links in the game day forum, download the browser I recommend and watch any game/redzone you want.

if i'm kwesi, i'm quietly extending some of our depth players currently on 1-year deals....

IDK who you have in mind, but starters on one-year deals include:

- Gilmore
- Griffin
- Aaron Jones
- Darnold (has been and will be discussed separately)

So the first three are the decent/good/aged/overachieving/fountain of youth types who may be willing to take another spin around the block, i.e. they are less likely to get relatively fat, multi-year deals. But there are still a lot of games left, and because of their age they are somewhat more suspect to tapering off.

Moreover, players on one-year deals are basically just part of the overall list of 2025 FAs. The regime is probably analyzing all of them to death while also keeping an eye out for potential FAs all over the league.

So perhaps it's best to wait?

I was thinking more along the lines of non-starters… those older starters, I’d wait to see how they hold up at the end of the season….

Whoops, yes you did say depth. One year depth players... I don't know who fits that mold.

I paid and wasn’t getting games so I cancelled. I’m still getting charged so I feel I’m getting scammed. That or I just got one last charge that fell within the billing date. I have a screenshot of the cancellation if I keep getting charged.

if you're in Canada that could be the problem...did you try using a VPN account for your connection?...i use dazn, because they took over the GamePass...of course, I connect from Europe, so it's not an issue - but sometimes I have to go VPN from the states to do banking etc, and if I try to connect to dazn while i'm on VPN-USA I get kicked off of dazn and cannot reconnect for 24 hours....

IDK man.

In previous years I paid the monthly amount until I was done with the football season.

I just and looked at my account and it shows cancelled but that I could still enjoy the site until aug 2025. Which makes me feel like I signed on for monthly payments for a year to not get any games.

I’m pretty pissed.

Never tried a VPN

You can’t call these ****ing guys and their chat help is a joke.

FAs 'signed to start' (ie starter size money, even one year deals)

2022
LB Hicks
DT Phillips
OLB Z Smith
CB Peterson

2023
TE Oliver
OLB Davenport
CB Murphy
G Risner

2024
QB Darnold
RB Jones
ILB Cashman
OLB Greenard
OLB Ginkel
CB Griffin
CB Gilmore

We signed and released a bazillion people ... I probably missed or added some ...

But the increase in cap space this year brought exponentially better value than the actual increase in cap space dollars should have.

Almost ridiculous value. So far.

If KAM stayed put and drafted Hamilton I think we'd be talking about championship level leadership collectively. Ack that it was a huge disaster but we also have to ack that the front office has had some HR's too since then. This FA class has been nothing but amazing.

Feels like we’re getting there.

KOM has been putting pennies in the tray.

Blame it on a scout that swore the drop from Hamilton wasn’t so great that he should nix the trade.

Mostly Bob’s fault.

They really lucked out with Harry defying age, Bynum and Metullus where there is a minor drop or difference....The Booth and Cine picks uugh.

DT Davis, CB McDuffie, and a couple OG or Linderbaum....

Erin picked three times! Woohoo!

Darnold looked like Kevin Arnold after the big hit. Maybe they didn't shoot him up with enough Toradol. We need the bye with Aaron Jones hurt as well.

Need another running back. Chandler is as consistent as Breese Hall. Gaskin has Matt Asshatiata-level talent.

Agree. IMO we are still rebuilding. Round out a few starters and the backups (to include backup QB) next year, although there has to be a better RB out there.

100%

Percentage of Vikings that shouted ‘Oh crap’ before that cute hook kicked in and Riechard made that FG.
