Khanben:
Now I know your type, no worry

Go and do your research. Gronk is arguably the greatest tight end ever. I am not the one that came to that conclusion so direct your disagreement to the appropriate channel.

But for injuries it wouldn't even be a credible discussion. Gronk was the single most unstoppable force at his position. Ever!! Whatttt

Khanben:
It's just baffling, people using team success to judge an individuals performance, the other day someone told me Gronk was better than Tony Gonzalez and his reasons boiled down to Gronk has rings.
Tony Parker has 4 rings, was he better than CP3

Lool only thing Gonzalez has on Gronk is longevity. Unlike Tony, Gronk could actually block

Khanben:
Brady's defense led him past the legion of boom. There is no highlight reel of SB's that does not contain that interception, most people can't even remember one play Brady made in that game

The same defense that let in 24? Is it the defense that came back from a 10 pts deficit? Didn't Brady leave the defense with an advantage? Didn't Brady score 4 Touchdowns on the legion of boom?

Of course the casual fan can't remember any play Brady made in the game but Brady went home with MVP honors. Completing 37 passes (a Superbowl record) with 4 touchdowns as well

Roland17:
Who on the Packers roster compares to Armstead, Cameron Jordan, Wil Lutz, Marshon Lattimore, Kiko Alonso, Jared Cook, Janoris Jenkins. I have not even mentioned Thomas and Kamara.

All these names you're listing are on defense not offense.

Jared Cook that you lot discarded na him you wan claim say na all-star? If so then that's credit to Drew Brees

Janoris Jenkins? Kiko Alonso? Lmaooo you're just name dropping now

Roland17:
Let me help you put this in perspective, the Saints have 7 Pro-Bowlers selected with 11 alternates (1st stand by group) on standby in case of injuries, guess how many the Packers have? 2, yes 2. Explain to me how a team with 7 Pro-Bowlers and 11 alternates compares in depth and quality to a team with 2 Pro-bowlers and 0 alternates. I am waiting!

Don't sell that package for me because I am no rookie when it comes to this.

Alaye ye ma perambulate. Is it by pro Bowl? Weren't you the one here complaining bitterly about how Aaron Jones should have made the list? Abeggi! You already know how I feel about these polling booth awards. Don't try to obfuscate the topic of discussion. Stay on the topic.

What does any of this have to do with Aaron Rodgers not leading Green Bay to a single score in the first half of a Championship game. A veteran QB not a rookie!!

Roland17:
Are we comparing the Saints roster to that of the Packers? Is that what you are doing?

What is the difference? How many offensive weapons do they have? There is a reason Michael Thomas has all their catches. You people always have excuses

Khanben:
Aaron is lucky that he already has one SB or his career would have ended like Marino. I remember Ray Lewis saying that the reason people say defense wins championships in football is because a great defense will always beat a great offense.
The 49ers were rushing just 4 in the first half and every play one of them was getting home. Rodgers had in most cases in that first half less than 3 seconds to throw with 7men covering, even Brady has shown that he cannot overcome that kind of pass rush

Story story. Brady led the Patriots past the legion of boom, beat the Steelers and Ravens defenses in different stages of the post season. Don't tell me who the 49ers were rushing. Brady has beaten better defenses

The average time to get the ball off your hands is roughly 2.5 seconds. So unless you can scramble you're definitely in a tight spot if you don't release the ball.

If you're not able to score at all on this defense then what is the point of your greatness?

Khanben:
Dude stop cherry picking when you don't like a player. Tom Brady had an elite defense when he won it with just 2 weapons on offense.
Show me playoff games where Tom Brady's defense gave up 37 points and he still won
As for him not scoring in the entire first half, did you per chance notice the 49ers pass rush or were you just watching to see Rodgers fail.
Tom Brady's scout report is that he has to be pressured, if not he will cut your defense up. Do you even remember the team that wrote that playbook it was the Giants pass rush in 2007 with Strachan and co. that was prime Brady with prime Moss, Weller and co and he still crumbled under that kind of pressure. Football is not basketball, a great all around defense on both the D-line and secondary will always beat a one receiver offense everyday.
PS: This 49ers team have not lost a game this season when all their players on defense are fit, go check it

Una no dey tire to give excuses? Shey agbari o ki'n ta yin ni??

I have told you that the performance of a defense and offense are sometimes Inter related. If your offense can't maintain possession it tells on your defense.

I have seen Rodgers lose every possible way even when he had a better squad! When his defense gives him leads. Enough with the excuses!!!

What are you even talking about Brady crumbled? In 2007 didn't Eli Manning have to come from behind to win?

I'm not here for your excuses. In 2014 the Packers picked Wilson 4 times in one half and yet Rodgers couldn't seal the deal.

Old man Drew Brees hung 46 on this defense. And might have won if Jared Cook didn't get hurt. Yet you're making excuses for Aaron Rodgers who did not score a single point in the first half. What does that have to do with Brady?

A40:
One last little factoid

Aaron Rodgers is 2-35 in 4th quarter comebacks against teams with winning records.

Make that 2-36

Roland17:
Bottled what exactly? Was he supposed to also play defense? We are talking about a defense that could not stop an opposing team’s running game. The 49ers freaking ran 285 yards, averaging 7 yards per carry and then it’s all on Rodgers? Come on man! I know you don’t like the man but be factual about some things!
It was not a fair competition, the 49ers are a better team than the Packers, hands down and it is not even close! Garrapolo did not even have to do much, he threw only 8 passes the entire night.

He was rubbish the entire first half. Which nobody had the honesty to point out. All I kept reading was about their inability to stop the run. But what did Aaron Rodgers do when he had the ball?

Is it the defense that didn't allow Rodgers to stay on the field? is it the defense that threw that interception? Is the defense the reason Rodgers put 0 points on the board in the first half.

Why do you people never lack excuses for Aaron Rodgers. Were you not a better team than the Seahawks you beat last week? So why all the noise about Rodgers when he is only capable of bare minimum and can't elevate his teams. Since 2011 same story we keep hearing

Khanben:
Mahomes is my guy, but I ask anybody to name any skill player on the packers aside of Jones, Adams and old man Graham.
Any QB whose defense gives up an average of 36 points in all his playoff losses when his own offensive weapons is not overwhelming is bound to lose way more than he wins

No no no we are not having this excuse. Having multiple elite skill players on your squad is a luxury not a necessity. If you call yourself an elite QB in GOAT conversation then it is optional you have multiple great skill players. The important thing is you have a decent O-LINE that gives you time to throw, which Rodgers has

1 great WR, A great RB and a decent TE is more than enough. Tom Brady won a Superbowl with James White, Chris Hogan and Julian Edelman. No excuses

Focusing on the points given away is a dubious way to analyze Rodgers playoff L's. The more objective analysis is to look at the circumstances surrounding each of the losses. Football is a symbiotic game and if the offense is not doing its job the defense will suffer.

Aaron Rodgers did not score a single point the entire first half. Let that sink in

Roland17:
WATCH YOUR MOUTH! I am not in any mood to condone any level of DISRESPECT towards the GOAT! WATCH YOUR MOUTH!!!!!

Alaye go siddown somewhere with your overrated Quarterback. He bottled it again just like we predicted

smokers:
A40 has been vindicated with his stance on Rodgers. I used to think it was hate before. But A40 is right.

Mahomes in Stephen A voice is a baaaad man

Hehehehe. I'm always right. It's not even hate. It's just so annoying because since I have been following Sports I have never seen one player that pundits and fans alike go out of their way to make excuses for quite like Aaron Rodgers.

I was watching First Take on Friday and Stephen A was making excuses for a potential loss already before the game was even played

Ok look at this thread for example. Notice nobody brought up the interception or the fact that Rodgers failed to get his team within field goal range the entire first half. Last week nobody was praising the receivers, the O-Line that gave Rodgers time to throw. The defense for holding the Seahawks to a laughable rushing total. It was all Rodgers.

Mahomes came back from 10pt deficits twice in one game but Rodgers stank up the joint till the lead ballooned out of control. Then started doing a Dak Prescott racking up yardage with the game lost and throwing in a couple of TD scores to pad numbers.

You can't bring up tackling or defense when Rodgers did not score a single point in an entire half. You are not converting first downs and keeping the 49ers offense off the field so how does the defense cope?

Roland17:
Too many missed tackles!

Khanben:
Arod is doing his bit, can the defense just show up

Lool he did his bit but they scored 0 points in the first half. Shey e no dey tire una ni? When does the time come when you stop making excuses for this man.

He threw a pick and refused to go down to try and recover that fumble in a game they were already down 3 scores and where he had already thrown a pick

Anyway the outcome was inevitable like I said last week when celebrations were happening prematurely

Khanben:
The packers defense has turned tackling into a combination of string theory, quantum mechanics and game theory.
This is disgusting, their GM needs to try for Amari Cooper and add size to both the O-line and D-line

They need to add Randy Moss. Jerry Rice and Tony Gonzalez. Since Aaron Rodgers needs all-pro receivers Everytime to get anything done

Müller and Perisic looked really good vs Hertha. Hoping we get some vintage Müller in this second half of the season. Germany's and Bayern's declined were more or less tied to his mysterious loss of form. He shouldn't be washed up at 30 FFS

zelgiusdigby:
Jorge giving Kamaru a taste of his own medicine there. "Who? Who?"

What are you a fvcking owl?

I hope they give Masvidal to Kamaru next. Sick of his fanboys all over the interweb fronting like Masvidal isn't 3-2 in his last 5 fights and is trending because he beat a few washed up names

benji93:
If you had been probing his game more deeply, especially prior to the injuries you would know that Green is not the man to carry a team. He thrived and flourished in that offence though, I will give him that.

There is difference between inability to carry a team and dropping G-LEAGUE level production. It's why it's always grated my ears whenever I heard people talk about how the Warriors had 4 all stars while KD was there. In the absence of Steph and Klay one cannot point to what he is doing well either offensively or defensively

Roland17:
You no kukuma get joy before!

Lool e dey talk am like say Harden ball pieces in all those series and na him teammates disappoint

Emaprince:
Manure is better.

Shows the work Klopp has done at Liverpool

alvincy:
Blaqbonez has been the closest to what we know as good rap in the industry since the likes of M.I, what olamide does its nothing compared to what blaq is doing, that nigga is bringing the rap game and o life again, the likes of olamide, phyno and the rest (indigenous rap or what you call em) is not rap, and cant stand international, if theres anybody close to blaq rught now i would say its dremo, but that nigga has gone cold, he does more commercial rap now, if you wanna say ycee, that one does not know what hes even doing sef. So for me blaq is doing great

If no be say Olamide don go full commercial. None of these guys you dey mention fit hold Olamide shoe. Plus Blaq, plus Dremo plus Ycee not one of them can stand Olamide even if we want to take it to the nitty gritty

And this idea that indigenous rap is not rap is erroneous. So long as when translated to English it's coordinated and connecting then that narrative needs to be killed. Nothing wrong with busting in your mother tongue

chic2pimp:
You keep disrespecting Harden. This Dude's Led teams have become the closest to dethroning the Jaggernaut that is the Curry+Durant Led Warriors. Me saying the Series ends in a hard fought 7 game series is me being generous. It most likely ends sooner sef. My Man was dropping 35+ on the Warriors for crying out Loud.

As I said, it's mostly mental. Once He figures it out, it's a wrap. Also there are rumours that He might get traded to the Warriors. Oh lawd with Steph and Klay Cooking and no Embiid clogging the paint, you all better watch out.

Of all people on this page you should know better than to come here and drop this kin Lamba for me.

Let's look at Harden's actual performance this year they came closest to dethroning the Warriors. If you scratch out Game 1. James Harden failed to shoot up to 50% from the field.

These are some of the stink bombs he dropped in that series where he oscillated from average to atrocious

Average
Game 3: 7/16
Game 6: 10/24
Game 4: 11/26

Atrocious
Game 2: 9-24 including 3-15 from 3
Game 5: 5-21 including 0-11 from 3 (Rockets won inspite of Harden's poverty shooting
Game 7: Fate of the universe on the line this man's shot 12-29 and 2-13 from 3

If you think this person will beat a Kawhi led team with these numbers you need to pass the Dutchie pon the left hand side

Lmaooooooo Embiid is a center. He's supposed to clog the paint!! Tell your man's to borrow a J. Imagine a "PG" that is dragging paint with the Center because he does not have any offensive move beyond 3 yards from the paint. Rumors ko 2Baba ni.

I mean what kind of PG can't be doubled and is a waste of time double teaming. And you wonder why he keeps dropping disaster classes in the playoffs where no awoof half court baskets

zelgiusdigby:
What??

I know the default reaction is Spider. I won't argue but his body count with Costa, Gastellum, Costa and Romero is a murderer's row of killers men. Especially when I look at Costa and Romero who in my eyes are more Light Heavyweights. Especially Romero who can't make weight quite often

Stylebender vs Romero is official. Question anything but don't question this man's balls. If he beats Yoel and Costa then for me he becomes the GOAT middleweight

Whittaker the pullout merchant strikessss. I was really looking forward to that Cannonier fight

Roland17:
At least baba improved last night, he dropped 6-8-8.

The nerve of that frontrunner talking nonsense and dropping 5-7-7 triple singles

chic2pimp:
They definitely beat the 18 Cavs. The Raps series would be a tough one. I reckon they take them in 7 games. If Ben could Shoot, the 76ers would have won that series in 6 games.

Nope. No way a James Harden led team beats Kawhi and the Raptors. As of how? Kawhi was hobbled and dropping 30 a night.

They would beat Houston in 6.

Lol bruhhh you need to let it rest with this if Ben could shoot. That's a mighty IF. Especially considering Kawhi scored 15more ppg than his closest teammate. Perhaps if they played better the Raptors win in 5
