If our WRs are so injured, why not have Abberdeeis and Janis out there? They can't be any worse then what we saw.

It would be a shame to lose the pot because you haven't played all your cards.

I worry a little about AR's lack of 'Brettness'. Sometimes you just need to throw it up and ask the receiver to make a play. Certainly you can take that too far. But whether it is reluctance to throw INT or just a lack of trust, Aaron Rodgers doesn't seem to rely on his receivers to make a play. At least this month. It's a long season.

I don't know if Rodgers can do what Andrew Luck did in the last game against Carolina. Down by 17 he just 'Bretted' every ball, either he tied the game or walked away with 6 Ints, he didn't care. Sometimes you need just that.
Of course when you are up or the game is very close doing that is very foolish and Luck will still do it.

We never tried to win the game at Denver and that's the biggest problem to me.

If you are losing, and game time is winding down, THROW THE DANG BALL! Take a chance! I mean, what you are doing isn't working anyway, right?
Yeah you might throw a pick, but taking that chance is better then sitting with your thumb up your butt, right?
One way at least you have a chance.

It's been a staple of his game thanks to his pinpoint accuracy. He's had a few bad games. It happens. Especially against great defenses and with putrid offensive line play and zero running game. But to act like Aaron Rodgers doesn't give his receivers a chance to make plays is just silly. A game or two doesn't define the norm for Rodgers. It is what it is: a few bad games.

Nobody is saying he is a crappy QB now and we should move on or anything like that. It doesn't hurt anyone to point out that he's been playing scared and pointing out reasons why we don't buy the "nobody was ever open" excuse, it's just the truth.

That is Rodgers and that is why they love him and at times why they get so mad at him.

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