I won't blame Mike McCarthy though because that's probably what I would do too if we jump out to a 14-3 lead in the 1st half.

For the love of God, WHY? As we have seen numerous times this season -- not just in our own games, but in games throughout the league -- 14-3 is NOT a commanding league. It's a two-possession deficit, from which it's not too terribly difficult to come back.

I can see sitting on your heels and running if you're up 28-0, maybe, but 14-3 while the game is still in doubt? Hardly.

Didn't we have a nice lead in the fourth quarter against the Lions who came back to take the lead?

That's my point. Hence my appending the "maybe" -- I'm not convinced it's logical to pare back the tempo of the game even if you're up by 4 scores. There's no such thing as a safe lead. The point of the game is to WIN. Say what you want about Belichick, but he gets that. Everyone bitched that he was "running up the score"; I say good for him. I'd rather have a coach who ensures the outcome isn't in doubt than a coach who gets tentative every time he has a lead and ends up letting his opponents back into the game.

But I'm an asshole. I like to see my enemies immolated.

I said no strictly based on weather reasons. Thowing over 200 yards in the last home game at Lambeau is never easy. Could be worse, could be in Buffalo

And as I just watched the Packer defense let the Lions march down the field after being up 14 - 0 in the 1st quarter - I say we need to score and score often!

At this rate Rodgers isn't even gonna get close.

I haven't seen his stats, but they said he is closing in on 4000 so hopefully he gets it and a win to boot.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Heh. Glad Mike McCarthy didn't listen to me. :)

What I wanted just as much as Aaron getting 4000+ yards is Driver to get his 1000+, and both got it. :thumbright:
