Rodgers played pretty bad all game. I don't know why we're getting on him for not winning the game when the Bengals Defense had momentum stopping him throughout the game. Idc what the stats say. Could any other qb win that game with the Bengals D covering every single receiver and knocking down passes left and right with no solid protection?

It's our fault we lost, we didn't get beat.

We got beat by the 49ers and now we got beat by the Bengals.

Rodgers did not play well but if there is a positive that can come from it I would venture to say he will not allow it to happen again. Just his personality. He will take this performance to heart.

Over the balance of 16 games I am not worried about Arod.

I am worried about how our defense has a tendency to coast when we get a lead. There is this thing called momentum and I don't think some of the younger guys get it.

The pass D lapsed for awhile against the Redskins and then again this week. Yeah, we were killing the Redskins but it still happened. Once the Bengals D saw the O starting to move they became even more motivated and they had already done a pretty damn good job given the field position they were often left with.

In '10 there were games when the offense struggled but the D was there to make sure we walked off with a W. THIS week should have been a W. If our D had played as hard for 60 minutes as the Bengals D it would have been one.

I will be glad to see Burnett and Hayward back. We need them.

He was up and down but so was the team. We have to deal with the fact that right now we are not the best team in our division. Swallowing pride time I guess. In any case, I will give the Bengals D credit again, but in that last drive, I assume it is easy when the other team doesn't have a running back available... at all. The worst thing to be is predictable. No running back? You won't beat a great team missing an integral part of an offense like that.

But the illegal hit on Finley's head went uncalled, and that cannot continue.

or threw it to the RB in the flat there and let let him fight for the first down.

I rather the Packers attack first downs than getting greedy so much. But then I'm also one of the people who says stay on the gas and put the game away.

If the RB wasn't there, I'd be okay with this being Jones fault. Since there's someone wide open and could most likely get the first down if the WR on the edge blocks... I think this is on Rodgers decision making.

I wouldn't expect that option to get a first down. Sure, the defender could miss, but Jones could have also had better position and caught the ball, but that didn't happen either. Overall, just a bad offensive play/good defensive play.

Even Pereira mentioned it. Defenseless player.

Three shots to the head in a row, uncalled. Lacy, Starks and Finley. Finally they did one against JJ iirc and it got called.

You mean other than it being against the rules? You can't hit a receiver who is catching a pass in the head. It's as simple as that. The defender didn't hit Finley anywhere BUT his head.
