So let me get this straight: If we lose, the playcalling sucks, but if we win, the playcalling is genius? Other than those peculiar three-back sets and a few more called runs, there was no significant difference in the playcalling between this week and any other week. What did change was execution. Our receivers looked like they wanted to be on the field this week; they actually tried. They held onto the ball (with the exception of the Jones touchdown drop), they laid out for the more difficult catches, they completed plays. They showed some passion. Maybe getting Driver off the field was the best thing that could have happened to this team.
Someone said that Rodgers was setting his feet today. Totally false, and you completely missed the point of what the commentators were saying. Rodgers is still NOT setting his feet, yet he's gotten his accuracy back. That's what is so remarkable about his accomplishments last night. He almost never plants his feet before he throws; he sort of hops on his toes.
It was nice to see that Rodgers wasn't hobbling this week. I only noticed his limp on a couple of plays, mainly after the long runs. It seems like a lot of our players are getting healthier. The bye week is coming at a perfect time.
