Flynn has a lot to prove and if he leaves the pack he will get that shot. Starting 16 games in the NFL will be the only way to see if Flynn has what it takes.

I think it's funny that Rex Ryan says his team is going to win the Super Bowl, they don't, and everyone eagerly piles on and laughs in his face. Meanwhile, Hue Jackson calls trading two first-round picks for Carson Palmer the greatest trade in NFL history, Palmer proceeds to throw 16 interceptions in 9 1/2 games, they miss the playoffs, and no one says a thing.

Rex is an attention whore who has gone to the AFC title game the last 2 years, while Oakland/Hue Jackson is still irrelevant at this point in the AFC landscape.

Yeah, that's probably it. Still funny to me.

I ripped the Palmer trade earlier in this thread. Palmer is a mediocrity and i said it would wind up as a horrible trade. Jackson was an idiot then and is asserting himself in the Al Davis void, this won't end well either.

Time will tell, but I have and will step out on a limb here and say he has the tools to be successful.

Pack would have fared better with Flynn today, Rodgers sucked.

Default Palmer to Raiders

Pack would have fared better with some stickem on their hands; 8 drops and 3 fumbles. Guess Rodgers was putting KY jelly on the football.

Face it, the TEAM didn't show up.

Get back to us once you watch the game. While it wasn't his best game, he far from sucked. Defense was practically non-existent on big 3rd downs it seemed and dropped passes out of the wazoo on the offensive side.

Give me anything but a Harbaugh Bowl. That's all i ask.

How much time did the o-line give Rodgers? How many drop balls were there? Give credit to the D-line of the Giants, Flynn would have been destroyed back there. Rodgers had over 60 yards rushing. Your man crush for a back up QB is ridiculous. Rodgers missed a few throws, but his WR's and TE's didn't give him much help. Dont forget Rodgers wasn't the DB who let a hail mary pass and couldn't tackle. If you turn the ball over 4 times you are not going to win.

Giants offensive execution and game plan were just about perfect, not sure even if Rodgers had a typical (read awesome) game it still would not have been enough. Time off probably did not help against a hot team either.

No doubt a huge factor, but what they did with them is what counts. Raven had lots of turnovers too, all they did was squeak by.
