Aaron Rodgers has been placed on injured reserve by the Green Bay Packers and will not play Saturday against the Vikings

Well here's hoping Huntley can pull out some sort of miracle against a team with a winning record. In reality, I think our chances are very, very low now.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers is done for the season.

The Green Bay Packers put their star quarterback on injured reserve Tuesday, a day after they were eliminated from playoff contention.

Rodgers missed seven games after breaking his right collarbone Oct. 15 against Minnesota. He returned on Sunday, but the Packers lost 31-24 at Carolina. Atlanta's win against Tampa Bay on Monday night ended Green Bay's eight-year run of consecutive postseason berths.

Brett Hundley will get the start for Green Bay in Saturday's home game against the Vikings. Joe Callahan was signed as his backup.

The Packers also released fullback Joe Kerridge from the active roster and quarterback Jerod Evans from the practice squad.

Goooooooooooooo fuck yourself.

Aaron Rodgers screws us again.

After last night is anyone surprised?

No. Right decision for them.

First game back from injury, Panthers put Romo back on IR.

Indirectly, Panthers did that again to Rodgers.

So it was fine until they were eliminated? Had they won and were still alive in playoff contention, his ass would be playing.

Yep, but benching Eli is offensive for the Giants to do. What shit.

Eli isn't playing with a recently broken collar bone. If I was a Packer fan, I'd want Rodgers shelved once the playoffs weren't possible. No point in risking further injury. I could understand coming back to play a little early since they were still alive, but now that they're eliminated, there is no reason to.

As expected.

At this point I'd put money on the Lions to get in, which is a shame because they're probably the worst team out of us/Atlanta/Seattle.

Hundley did very nearly win at Pittsburgh on the road though and has clearly improved so you never know. Maybe the Bengals can put together an inspired performance as Lewis is on his way out.

I haven’t been paying attention.

Why/how does this affect the cowboys?

Detroit needs to lose. They play Cincy this week and Green Bay next week. If Detroit wins out, we can't make the playoffs.

No doubt. Since they're out of the mix now, there's no point in throwing him out there and risking further injury.

Why is That? If we win out and they win out we would get 2 more NFC wins while they would only get one. I guess they have two more than us right now in the NFC since that's the tie breaker? I haven't really looked.

I think it's record against common opponents.

Looked it up if we win out and Detroit wins out we would be tied for NFC record. Anyone want to look up common games? Have to have at least 4 for it to count.

That also gets sort of crazy in cases of a 3 way tie. I assume everyone has to have the common opponent.

First is NFC record. But if we both win out we'd have the same. So next up is common opponent. After that it's margin of victory or some shit.

I get it as a pure business decision.

But its kind of a pussy move. They are saying he's healthy enough to play, but won't.

In a league (and on a team) where guys play hurt regardless of whether they are in playoff contention, it will be interesting to see how that is received.

I imagine the hot takes from commentators not currently under investigation for unwanted dick picks will be quite spicy.

Okay I knew about that part. I thought the outrage was because we needed minny to lose.

If I understood correctly, we need Detroit to lose as well as one of the NFC South teams losing their last 2 games right?
