I just have a feeling that as bad as the Bears are dinged up, the Pack gets up and keeps their foot on the gas. O/U is 43 so Vegas sees more than a pedestrian amount of scoring. I'm rooting for you Bobby and hope you win. Good Luck.
In the last five games against the Bears, Rodgers has not gone over 300 yards. It's all a question of percentages. In one league, I have Rodgers, but my team is stacked at other positions. I'll go with Rodgers, because he is unlikely to have a clunker, throwing three int's or somesuch. In another league, I need a very biggame from my qb, because the rest of the team is not as good. In that league, I'm rolling the dice with Freeman.I just have a feeling that as bad as the Bears are dinged up, the Pack gets up and keeps their foot on the gas.

No chance.'Vicktimized said:
Just like there was no chance he would throw 6 TDs against the #1 pass defense at the time vs the Texans
The Texans quit in that game after the outcome was decided, just like they did against the Pats Monday night. I don't think the Bears would do the same - rivalry, home game, etc.
All I know is that I have had Aaron Rodgers as my QB for 3 years now. In that span, he has not had many bad stretches. I want to bench him so bad that I can't stand it, but at this point, I feel like he has got to be due for a trademark performance. I think I am only about 10% on that, but I guess with that chance, I must go with it.
Really? You want to play Romo over Rodgers? As a Cowboy fan and a Romo fan, that sounds like a terrible idea.
Yea, but how about Freeman over Rodgers?
Rodgers. Everyone looks to that prior Saints game with Freeman, but I think that's folly. The Bucs hadn't yet tethered their offense to Doug Martin yet; after that game, Martin went off, and Freeman hasn't thrown for over 300 yards since. I don't think today's game looks much like that W7 matchup.You can start Rodgers and there will be QBs every week who out score him. That doesn't mean you sit him. Unless you feel something has substantially changed, which you've argued somewhat convincingly (somewhat not), I think it's a bad practice in FF to be reactionary. Rodgers's bad weeks are not that bad, and you run the risk of missing out on the monsters he can produce.
I am just about there. Really the only thing that is keeping me on the side of Freeman is that I also will be starting Martin. I think both of those guys will put up some huge numbers this week. Starting them both on my FF team this week, could be a bonanza
2 td's first half for Rodgers. Thinking I might of been wrong on my prediction
You'd think, but we'll see the same thread again next year. Maybe next week.
Exactly. Every year folks come out of the woodwork, doing all sorts of mental gymnastics to justify benching great players for average players. Never understood how people can so easily be swayed by a few sub-par weeks to justify sitting their best players, during the playoffs no less.
IMO there is a good argument either way. It just usually comes down to your options and your risk tolerance. I don't think Freeman was a subpar option. If I was stuck with Palmer or Kaepernick it'd have been an easier decision.
Every week (especially in the playoffs) is worthy of complete examination. Next week the Pack has the division sewed up and an inferior opponent. I can see them running a lot. That said, I'd still start Rodgers.
Completely disagree. The debate between Palmer and Freeman is understandable on its face, and I would have picked wrong in Freeman today. But, replay this 10 times, the chances are good Freeman wins 6 of those matchups to Palmer's 4.By the same token, get your studs and don't be cute about it. Don't sit a healthy great player for an average healthy player ever. This is what will happen more often than not.
Your damned right you'll see it next week. I spent the whole week trying to convince myself to not play him. Couldn't!, and started him. WIN!!!!!

Well, you may take the credit if you like, however your comments were not the reason I played him. I do thank you for the wisdom though!

Why? What did he say that so unusual and different than what everyone was telling you before. It was just as stupid a consideration today as it was earlier this week when creating the thread. I don't see how Bloom would have distinguished himself from anyone else. You were the 1% of the crazy talkers.Well, you may take the credit if you like, however your comments were not the reason I played him. I do thank you for the wisdom though!

You were so adamant.
Yea, I know I was. I started out having a feeling that Freeman would have a great game. Then I listened to Bloom's "on the couch show" Sunday morning. He made a very convincing argument about how he felt the Saints defense was going to destroy Freeman, at home, and after the bounty situation being vacated. Sort of like a "give em the middle finger" to Goodell. I thought he had the most convincing argument that I heard from any fantasy pro. He also had a similar argument at the very end of the Audible show, where he was actually comparing Freeman and Rodgers. I thought he was right, and that was that. I set my lineup with Arod and then didn't look back. He ended being so right about all of it. He called everythingLike I said, you were very helpful also. I had already changed my lineup when I asked that question. You were making good arguments against others, so I asked about Freeman. You gave me great advice!'cobalt_27 said:You were so adamant.

Yeah, that didn't work out so good for me.Luckily I had Moreno and Spiller. Oh, wait - I benched them for Martin and Wilson.The good news is I have a lot of free time this week and next weekend to get unpacked (new home) and finish Christmas shopping.See ya next summer, fellas! Been fun.Thanks! Don't know if there is any need in that, but whatever. Read the post two above this one. What bloom had to say was different than what anyone else in Fantasy said. No matter what you think. You can come in here after the fact and call people stupid if you like. That's just being pretty childish. No matter what actually happened, the discussion was not stupid. The way Rodgers had been playing and the way they had been running the ball, made it necessary to discuss in Playoffs week. I said at least twice in this thread, that I would end playing Rodgers, but I also felt it necessary to consider my options. If you don't think Bloom had anything original to say, then go listen to the Podcasts. NO ONE else had anything like that to say.'cobalt_27 said:Why?

If ths is how it works can someone hurry up and start a new "I am benching A. Rodgers for ________" thread for this week.
See ya around Bobby'cobalt_27 said:
