From what I've read, teams do what the Packers did with Rogers all the time. Has any team ever been forced to release a player because he was incorrectly placed on IR? If they're going to start doing that, it seems more fair to deny approval than give approval and then force a team to release a player because they then rule he wasn't eligible.

Why wouldn't the team be responsible for knowing if he's eligible? Also, can you really not anticipate that this would become an issue when some team is inevitably forced to play a game at the end of a season with less than 53 players available on game day?

The team does think he's eligible and the NFL approved it. Why make the NFL approve it if that's gonna count for ****? But who cares? Obviously he's not getting waived, even though it would be the greatest justice served on Fat Mike for wasting Godgers and depriving us of seeing him play with a decent team. And sending him to the Browns would be unconscionable. Having to play for fat Mike is already more than anyone that good should have to bear.

You aren't actually this naive, so why are you trolling?

Why is it trolling for me to think the Packers believe they're justified in putting him on IR? From ProFootballTalk

Quote:

While the Packers didn’t specifically state that Rodgers has a new injury, the chances of the Packers being unable to make a plausible case that the pounding Rodgers took during last week’s game against the Panthers (12 total hits) left him sufficiently impaired to justify ending his season [are slim]. Besides, the Packers would hardly be the first, or last, team to shut down a guy late in the season even though he technically would be healthy within the minimum six-week window that supposedly applies to any player who is placed on injured reserve.

From WaPo

Quote:

every team that is out of playoff contention has an IR list of players who could play if a berth were on the line.

From Andrew Brandt

Quote:

Players with hangnails are put on IR this time of year

Are they all trolling?

Why is it trolling for me to think the league shouldn't rule him ineligible after they've approved it? According to Seifert

Quote:

it would be sketchy for the league at this point even to question the Packers' decision to place Rodgers on injured reserve. The NFL's management council must approve all transactions before they are finalized, so any issues with the process should have been brought up when the Packers submitted the move Tuesday.

Is he also trolling?

Sure, by the letter of the rule, the Packers should understand that Rodgers isn't eligible for IR. But by the way that rule is always enforced, they have every reason to believe they are justified in placing him on IR.

The league pretty much rubber stamps IR requests.

The Packers know for a fact that he isn't eligible, and that's why they have been unwilling to answer questions about it from reporters. They just know they will get away with it because everyone does.

If this is the way it's always done then whatever, I'm just saying it's stupid to have the rule at all then and it should be changed to reflect reality.

I don't believe teams put guys on IR they just took off IR without any new injury all the time. You're definitely not supposed to do that.

Merry Christmas to the advertisers. Going back to the first quarter means more long commercial breaks. Yay!

Why do so many tackles get away with the tenth of a second false start?? Like it seems like a league wide thing. You always catch them starting the chop step back a blink or two early and it goes uncalled.

One benefit of going for 4th and goal from the 0.5 is that if you don't get it, the opponent is pinned. Nice one Texans, way to throw that ball

Run it down inside the one and then let your garbage QB throw twice

When you're inside the 1, gotta put the ball in the hands of your worst player
