I didn't see that. What I saw was aaron making his first read then having to move out of the pocket.

I have no idea if Rodgers might of got a concussion or not (and I'm doubting he did), but that would explain some of the results. ... and if I remember right, one time Rodgers got a concussion and he and the staff didn't notice.... and Driver noticed and said something about his eyes looking bigger and different.

What I saw Sunday night was a Broncos team that played lights out and I think it really got to Rodgers. I think he felt he had to do something big to break us out of whatever the hell it was we were in so he felt like he had to do it all himself. Sometimes that is a good thing sometimes not. I think Sunday night was one of those sometimes not games.

There's only one very limited way I agree with this "stat-whoring" crap: I think he kinda cherishes his extremely low interception percentage, and he goes to the extreme to avoid them. In general, that's not a bad thing, but there might be some very rare cases where it hurts. That play where Collingsworth said Cobb was open over the middle and Aaron missed him - what I saw was two LBs crossing, kinda marginally between Rodgers and Cobb. He might have been able to thread the needle, but I think I will go with our all world QB's judgment on the field rather than that of a talking head up in the booth.
