Yeah I hate that crap. NFL has the dumbest talking heads. So much pointless noise.

Brady's football IQ is so much higher than Rodgers it's not even funny. Rodgers is great but he's athleticism and accuracy and that accuracy carries him on man coverages. If he could read a defense like Brady he'd be unstoppable.

No kidding. Rodgers took over a 13-3 team and has been surrounded by talent with elite receivers his whole career.
His career record: 72-33; playoff record: 6-5; 1 Superbowl win and 1 Super Bowl appearance
Brady's career record: 163-47; playoff record: 21-8; 4 Super Bowl win and 6 appearances

Rodgers is outstanding, but it's not even close. To match Brady, he would have to go 91-14 in the regular season and 15-3 in the playoffs with 5 Super Bowl appearances and 3 wins.

GB has a short passing game but damn their YAC has to be near the top of the league.

Gruden's wrong. It isn't that Branch is physically overmatched. He just took an awful angle because he's not good in man coverage.

Packers OL seems to be allowed to get away with an awful amount of holding.

I do think that undersells Rodgers a bit. The way I see it, if you're just looking at the stats the biggest area where Brady's always stood head and shoulders above Manning is that he takes care of the ball. Brady doesn't throw picks.

Well, Rodgers avoids picks even better than Brady does. He has a career TD/INT ratio of better than 4-to-1. He's an all-time great and I don't think it diminishes anything Brady's done to acknowledge that. We'll be telling our grandkids about both of them.

Naturally, as soon as I make this point he fumbles the ball... and gets bailed out by a ridiculous call.

Hahahahah good. KC deserves to be embarrassed tonight.

wow!!!

C'mon man. Polian really hurt the game with this illegal contact bs.

These refs are really trying to make sure GB wins this as if they needed any help.

Agreed. NFL lost alot that grit. It's arena ball now.

Ok flag...he never panics? he turned white when he saw Houston out of corner of eye slip, and dumb play where he fumbled, had to kn ow there were 2-3 guys after you

@RapSheet: I'm having a hard time imagining someone stopping the #Packers offense. I know it happens. But I simply can't picture it.

Their offense isn't in the Pats' league.

Man, that stop was huge for the Chiefs. If they give up a TD here it's game over.

There you go, BLITZ BLITZ BLITZ.

There's no Jordy Nelson to bail him out.

I'm seeing some horrible tackling and angles being taken by KC.

How do you quantify football IQ? How can you tell if one player can read a defense better when their statistics are so even? Even by the eye test, you can't say one's football IQ is so much higher.

I've never understood the point of observations like that, because we see this every year. There's always at least 2-3 offenses that look unstoppable for the first month of the season, sometimes more than that. But then you give it 2 months, watch the weather change and the injuries pile up, and by December even the most unstoppable September offense turns out to be stoppable.

So when people make observations like the one Rap just made, I have to figure they either a) don't watch football, or b) have the memory of a goldfish. The '05 Colts, '07 Pats, '11 Pats, and '14 Packers offenses turned out to be stoppable. Not easy to stop, but possible to stop. Makes no sense that someone who actually watches the football can't imagine that this offense will eventually be stopped as well.

Can you imagine if the Pats fans owned a piece of the Patriots like the GB fans do? This forum would be even crazier.

Come on Kraft, give us a piece of the action.
