Am i really reading this? Scott Tolzien can run this offense better then Rodgers? LOL. First off this offense is stalled because the WR's cant get separation when defenses play man coverage. Thats a fact, not an opinion. Many opposing teams and coaches have publicly stated that the Packer WR's are not very good at all and they can get away with playing man coverage all day long. There's a reason why our offense had some success today because the Cowboys went full retard in the first half and decided to play zone defense. The 2nd half they smarten up and play man coverage but our run game was on point so we were able to run on them but we couldnt throw on them.
Scott Tolzien is not good nor is he on Rodgers level. Some of you need a time off from talking about football and recollect your thoughts again if you think other wise especially if u think he can run this offense better

honest response would have addressed the issue: Tolzien could run the O better than Aaron Rodgers has been doing it over games 7-12 [A 76 PR; and 45-50 PR when D was not in prevent]! That temporarily benching AR, was cause Lord Rodgers' head to emerge from his sphincter as Tolzien played within the O and showed better results. Ya know, like with Lacy, which some have opined is different, which I don't get; but motivational temporary benchings happen all the time and often work, ya know, like with Lacy. Then we get our MVP QB back.
In the last 7 games there have been no more than 5 plays in any game where all GB the receiver were covered.
FIVE. Please WATCH THE GAME, dont listen to those idiot announcers. Oh and BTW, that is probably around the league average/game, it happens rarely, but it does happen.
Nothing changed v. Dallas except Mike McCarthy introduced several unscounted looks and Lord Rodgers decided to play within the confines of the offense. MIRACULOUSLY our receivers are not dropping the ball; of course when the ball is delivered when and where it's expected there will be less drops.
And Hallelujah, it's a Christmas miracle, suddenly our WRs know how to get separation.
FYI, Dallas played more zone in second half and by my count played zone less than 25% of the snaps in first half and most of them ended up being running plays. oh and they jumped the slant route to right WR about 4 times; but guess what , Aaron Rodgers didn't throw there once, didn't seem to even look there. Oh the beauty of the unscouted look.
Nerd's has clearly convinced Mike McCarthy to do more of the screen game and they were just superb. Some, like at PFF, think a screen is an easy throw and downgrade QB performance; but a good screen is 80% the QB [20% the OL] patiently selling the LBs and DL a pile of hooey and so few can do it consistently; Aaron Rodgers was brilliant!
Note: those screen passes v. zone go about 4 yards if executed correctly.
I theorized Aaron Rodgers was pi$$ed by Mike McCarthy not opening up playbook in Denver. But maybe it was AR's frustration listening to Mike McCarthy and TC chatter on the headsets discussing the calls and delivering them late and when that did not change in Denver he went to full sulking debutante mode. Now with Mike McCarthy back on play-calling it seemed Aaron Rodgers had more time at the LOS, surely the DOGs and wasted TOs were down.
Whatever it was, Aaron Rodgers is now back and mentally invested. We may never know what the bug was up his A$$ was. This wasn't his best day, Aaron Rodgers played mentally very well and physically good, but below MVP Aaron Rodgers standards. He still missed a few throws, which could be due to the wet ball and footing issues on a bit of a sloppy track. He took too many sacks, but he always does this and sometimes he gets away for a big play. But the important thing is: Aaron Rodgers is BACK!
