I really miss Aaron Rodgers.

I believe the gameplan is critical to win against the Vikes.
Against the Giants Mike McCarthy started with a "run run pass" approach designed to shout that he didn't trust his QB.
When needed he changed to a more agressive approach but then it was too late and the critical turnovers happened.

What Tolzien will be asked to do will be more important than his actual performance. It will mold the whole game.

It's critical to take Peterson out of the game, so I expect Mike McCarthy to NOT defer if he wins the toss and start very aggresive
trying to get ahead early in the game.

It will be a chess game and I'm happy to be playing against Frazier.

I do not believe we need Aaron to beat the Queens.

You're going to win anyway, I mean come on, Ponder is starting. You've seen him play before right? So it's a good game to give Rodgers additional rest. Besides I'm really really tired of watching him carve up our cover 0 defense and going 28/30 for 350 and 4 TD's. My nerves can't take it anymore xD. I'd rather lose to a rookie than see Rodgers with his "oh that's right, I'm playing the Vikings defense" smirk on his face again lol.

True, if Mike keeps calling plays like he did last week. Do you think he's going to keep doing that?

You don't keeping running against that. And you don't keep throwing 1 yard passes against that. Or JPP takes one to the house.

Mike set Scott up to fail, plain and simple.

I saw players setting themselves up to fail. There is a play Mike from Packers.com points out where two players block the same guy. That is a mistake in player execution and you can be damn sure they didn't draw it up that way. I don't always make passes for coaches, but I have an expectation that in-season we believe they are putting our players in the best position to make a play. It is up to them to make it.

Stay with what GOT you to that point, and ONLY give up on it when it stops working.
WHY is it so hard for the coaches to SEE that???
