1- Why doesn't Aaron Rodgers ever get a chance to end games like this, it usually always the opposing team that ends up scoring with leaving twenty seconds left.
2- Why can't we ever upset teams like these? We always end up losing to an upset team once in a while, but it never happens for us to win an upset game.
3- Would the Packers have played as good if Aaron Rodgers was in?
4- Why did Mike McCarthy go 3 and out with 3 passes right after Patriots scored and we still had the lead?
*** 5 *** - Why in the hell is all our team injured??? Specially all the key players !!!
Grant - Finley - Burnett - Barnett - Poppinga - Jenkins - Chillar etc...
6- Can we use our 1st pick this year to draft a special teams KR / PR please for the love of god?
7- Am I the only one that wonders about these questions?

1. Combination of things if you ask me. First of all, with Rodgers at the helm, we always score too fast, it seems. I like what we did now, going with the 4 minute drill. With Rodgers, we're bound to throw a deep ball some time with as much as 3 minutes on the clock.
The Panthers game in 2008 is the most obvious of these instances.
Another thing is that we're always content with throwing the ball ove the middle. It happend this time, as well. When the defense guards the sidelines, we just throw the slant over the middle to Driver.
And then, which is somewhat tied to that, we never actually seem to be organized on those 2 minute drills to win the game. Whether the guys don't get to the line, there's no play call in, the receivers aren't lined up right etc.
2. Yeah, it sure seems like that. I think it has a lot to do with the homerism around here. Or around any fanbase, really. Remember those games against the Cowboys and the Ravens? I think those were upset games, looking at how those two teams were playing at that point.
3. As good? That's quite likely. That Patriots defense is very overrated. It's the offense you have to be scared about. I think that we would've played differently, but just as good.
4. We didn't pass a lot on 1st down. Trying it once to catch them off guard sounds like a good idea. That puts us in 2nd and 10. When you have to go 10 yards on 2nd down, a pass is justifiable easily. Then we end up on 3rd and 10, which is an obvious passing situation.
I also liked the vote of confidence in Flynn there.
5. I don't know, but I do know that that is TT's fault somehow.
6. Yes. That sounds like a great idea. Maybe we can draft a longsnapper in the 2nd and a gunner in the 3rd.
