they were more like throw aways after all the receivers broke routes in which he had no idea what they were doing. would've been too risky to try to complete one at that point.

---

It looked to me as though Rodgers was trying to rein in the receivers -- return this offense to something resembling a West Coast Offense, while the receivers were intent on breaking it deep, which is what they've been accustomed to lately.

If the players keep screwing up a play the coach should stop calling it.

There are plenty of other plays in the playbook.

"We are gonna fix that." Coach McCarthy.

---

But he didn't get his ass kicked in all night waiting for slow developing plays. I would have like to run up the scoreboard too, but Aaron's been hit enough this year and we are not even half way home.

---

Excellent point, DakotaT. I'd rather he give up a few incompletions here and there than take body shots.

Interesting comments that I saw in an article, where Aaron mentioned this year they've gotten looks they are not accustomed to getting, but he quickly says that is to be expected since teams have 2 years of film on them.

Aaron commented that the Vikings were playing more man-to-man, which is a bit unusual given their traditional Cover-2 roots. Maybe that was throwing the WRs off, where Aaron thought the WRs might come back (to take advantage of opponents' backs to the ball) and they (like NSD said) went with a deeper route (what you'd normally expect them to do in a more traditional [zone] Cover-2 scheme)

I hope you are not somehow blaming this on McCarthy.

Clearly in football games, WRs are expected to adjust their routes depending on what coverage they are getting, what their QB is doing, etc.

For all we know, the WRs and Aaron never got on the same page as to how to deal with the different coverages.

I am sure the request was 24 hours. Not 12 hours. But you could not wait could you? You people fricken amaze me.

If some people did not have the opportunity to bitch and complain about something they would be lost. Misery loves company. If fact misery demands company.

Take a freaking look at the best of the best QB's and team expectations going into this season. Serious? List them. I know you all can do it.

Now compare them all to Aaron Rodgers, and add in the injuries he and this team has had to deal with.

I think the Cowboys fans would be thrilled to bitching about off back shoulder throws in one single game they played today.

It is almost not worth taking the time to log on here anymore, it is a room filled with too many spoiled brat's who just want to bitch about what ever they can.

---

You realize that you're actually bitching yourself right now, right?

---

My guess is he wasn't on the same page because he's been so used to throwing to Finley.
