I don't understand the "again" part. The Packers have done very well in the red zone this season. Even in this game, the fumble was the only problem. In their other three red zone appearances, they got two TDs and a field goal.

Let's not turn a failure on one drive into a chronic shortcoming.

I wouldn't consider a FG a successful outcome when the team makes it down to the red zone, though. It is just the same as punting, the field position is the only difference. Obviously a FG is better than punting, but I still say that a FG is not exactly a success.

My thoughts...if Brickhands Johnson catches that one pass on the goal line, Rodgers never gets the chance to fumble, which turns into an eventual Falcon TD. 7 point swing right there, game!

Shoulda, woulda coulda though...oh well.

So two TDs and a field goal is not good enough. Apparently they must score a TD every single time they are in the red zone. High standards.

Worst part.. the pass wasn't intended for him.

Which is why it was nearly impossible to catch. Brick hands, my ass. If he's guilty of anything, he may have run the wrong route. Or maybe the other guy did. Or maybe Rodgers underthrew it.

Not at all. I'm just saying that coming out with a FG is good, but obviously we would much rather have a touchdown. If we force a turnover in the opposing team's 1-35 yard line, putting us in FG range immediately, we could do nothing and kick a FG on 4th and 10. Do you consider that series a success? Kind of, but in a tongue in cheek sort of way. Does Aaron Rodgers and his supporting 10 consider a FG a success, or are they upset that they didn't come away with 6? The field position is the only thing that changes how you feel about it, which in this case had nothing to do with the offense. I just don't like going to 4th down. Ever.

A field goal at the end of a long drive is a success in a tongue-in-cheek way? Can you explain what you mean by this? I'm confused how considering a field goal to be a success is a humorous assessment.

Considering we lost all four freaking games by a FG and would have won the Redskins game with one at the end I'll take whatever points we can put up.

IMO I think it is wise to take the points whenever your on the road playing a good team. Especially in games where it's pretty obvious neither team is going to go up and down the field scoring a ton of points.

Now in certain games like possibly NE coming up when the scoreboard is more than likely going to get lit up and the team your playing isn't that stout on defense I say you go for it there.

On the other hand when we play teams like NY or the Bears I say put the 3 points on the board every time.
