Get the ball out, Aaron.
We're gonna need you to not fail. |
It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get back up again. |

If it weren't for Aaron this would've been a blow out. I'm pretty fucking sure he didn't want to "stat whore" his own stats, he wanted to win the game.

Needless knee-jerk reaction. Yeah, Nerd obviously fails to understand that without Rodgers buying time like he often does, the Packers score many fewer points throughout the season. It's not always possible to instantly unload the ball. For now, that is Aaron Rodgers game, and it's not going to change. Notice on several of the Vikings blitz calls, he instantly threw the ball to the open guy. It's just not always possible, especially when facing constant cover 2 style defenses. |

On the list of players to blame for this game, Rodgers comes in around 53rd. |

There continues to be guys wide open underneath, but Rodgers just won't get them the ball. |

Moved up in the pocket a number of times.. and threw two out of bounds. Look I get it... you expect perfection, but the guy played as good of a game as can be expected. My opinion. The couple he held it.. there were guys open over the top in man coverage.. sometimes the defense wins. |

This may happen at times, but it's going to happen to everyone. Underneath players are often the #3-4 or even 5th in a QBs progressions. As a result, Rodgers is not always going to be able to get there. In fact, due to Rodgers buying time, he's able to scan the field more than most other QBs. There is absolutely no question that without Rodgers buying time like he often does, this Packers team would not be as good as they are. Yes, that will result in some bad plays, but my prior sentence stands. |

So Mike McCarthy scripts plays to last 8 seconds? |

you can't blame Aaron Rodgers for wanting to take a shot down field when they were down and needed to score points. They vikings secondary was in a shambles so the opportunity was there. |
One does not simply walk into Mordor.  |
