In the podcast edition of this episode, I went over the moments and reflected on what was a terrific time in Green Bay Packers history. I really wish AR12 the best moving forward and I can’t wait to see him return to Lambeau Field when he retires.
Here are some of my favorite moments/memories/thoughts (I know I missed some) with Rodgers as the QB of the Packers:
November 29th, 2007 - Rodgers shows flashes in relief of Favre against the Cowboys (18/26, 1 TD, 0 INT, 104.8 RTG, 37-27 loss)
September 8th, 2008 - Rodgers’ first start (home against the Vikings)
24-19 win / 18/22, 1 TD, 0 INT, 1 rushing TD, 115.5 RTG
RIDICULOUS throw -

The Entire 2010 Playoff Run
From Weeks 9 through 17 of the 2010 Season, he threw for 1,911 yards, 16 TD, 2 INT, 122.0 RTG, and the Packers went 5-2
The brilliance in Atlanta in the Divisional Round - one of the great playoff performances by a QB ever
Hard not to mention the BJ Raji pick-six in the NFC Championship Game in Chicago - one of my favorite moments ever
He was elite in SB XLV against the Steelers - 24/39, 304 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT, 111.5 RTG
The 2011 Season Was Pure Dominance
First MVP
45 TD, 6 INT, 122.5 RTG
5 TDs against the Bears on Christmas
The 2012 Season Might Have Been Underrated
39 TD, 8 INT, 108 RTG, Packers went 11-5
The offense scored 25+ points in 9 games and 20+ points in 14 of 16 games
How can one forget the legendary SNF performance in Houston against the Texans?
24/37, 338 yards, 6 TD, 0 INT, 133.8 RTG
The 2013 Season Was Filled With Moments
Hit their groove after a 1-2 start before Rodgers broke his collarbone on MNF against the Bears on November 4th in Week 9
He returned in Week 17
Bears vs. Packers in Chicago for the NFC North title
The Randall Cobb touchdown seals the deal…one of my favorite moments
However, it ended with another playoff loss to the 49ers
The 2014 Season Was Elite Until It Wasn’t
2nd MVP captured (R-E-L-A-X after a 1-2 start)
Dominance in Week 10 against the Bears on SNF 55-14 (Rodgers 6 TD in 1st half) - followed it up with a 53-20 win over the Eagles in Week 11
4381 yds, 38 TD, 5 INT, 112.2 RTG
The worst loss of my life was the NFCCG against the Seahawks... I really don’t even want to talk about it
The 2015 Season Was Rodgers Putting the Team on His Back
Finished 10-6 after a 7-0 start - a lot of injuries
HAIL MARY #1 in Week 13
Limped into the playoffs
Lost to the Arizona Cardinals in the Divisional Round
Rodgers Hail Mary #2
The best WR was Jeff Janis in that game due to injuries
Rodgers threw passes to Janis, Jared Abbrederis, Richard Rodgers, John Kuhn, Eddie Lacy, and James Starks in that game (lol)
Took GB to overtime against a formidable ARI team
The 2016 Season Was The “Run The Table” Season
Started 4-6 and had a brutal SNF loss in DC
Rodgers said “I think we can run the table”
And they did so
In the final six weeks of the season…
Packers went 6-0 and won the division in Week 17 at Detroit
1667 yards, 15 TD, 0 INT, 121 RTG … I forgot how brilliant he was in that run
Despite ZERO defense, he carried them to the NFCCG in Atlanta, where they got obliterated
Hail Mary #3 in the Wild Card Round against the NY Giants
The Divisional Round game at Dallas was incredible…the Jared Cook catch
The 2017 Season Was Injury Plagued
Started 4-1, but Rodgers broke his collarbone in Week 6 due to that loser Anthony Barr
Tried to come back but struggled against the Panthers in Week 15
The 2018 Season Was The End of the McCarthy Era
It was the weirdest 25-touchdown to 2-interception season ever..Rodgers and GB's offense lacked a lot
A horrific Week 13 loss to ARI got McCarthy fired
6-9-1 record and playoffs missed
The 2019 Season Was the Beginning of the LaFleur Era
Went 13-3 after the offense lacked sharpness
They won a lot of close games and weren’t a very good team
Rodgers had two “down seasons” in 2018 and 2019, but had 51 TD and 6 INT … which is insane
Another NFCCG Loss to the 49ers
The 2020 Season May Have Been Rodgers’ Best
The Aaron Rodgers —> Davante Adams connection was ABSOLUTELY ELITE in 2020
Rodgers had one bad game in 2020 - Week 6 in Tampa
Overall, he had 51 TD (3 rushing), 5 INT, and a 121.5 RTG and his 3rd MVP
The dominance against the NFC North and SNF snow game against Tennessee was very memorable
In another heartbreaking loss, the Packers went down to the Buccaneers at Lambeau in the NFCCG
They absolutely should’ve won this game
The 2021 Offseason Was a Disaster
Rodgers asked for a trade
It was a whole big thing
The 2021 Season Equaled Back-to-Back MVPs
The whole COVID thing happened
He threw 20 TD and 1 INT after the COVID thing
37 TD, 4 INT, 111.9 RTG overall, and his 4th MVP
A stunning loss in the Divisional Round to the 49ers… seemed like the end of the Rodgers Era, but it wasn’t
Packers traded Davante Adams to the Raiders after extending Rodgers
The 2022 Season Was Not Good
The season went downhill after the loss in London to the NY Giants
Rodgers broke his thumb and played through it after that game
They went 8-9 and had a real chance to make the playoffs in Week 18, but lost to the Lions
The last Rodgers game at Lambeau was one to forget - 17/27, 205 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 83.1 RTG
The Trade to the Jets
Overall Reflection and Thoughts on the Rodgers Era
Thanks for tuning in! Packers/NFL Season Predictions Coming Soon.
