Obviously, yes.

As the 2016 football season approaches, the results of last season linger. In Green Bay, where a Super Bowl win six years ago has been followed by five straight disappointments, the effort to apportion blame for the outcome to the 2015 season continues.

Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, in a position-by-position preview of the team for the upcoming season, puts plenty of it on quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The headline declares that Rodgers “needs to rebound from mediocre season,” and the first paragraph proclaims that Rodgers is “coming off his worst year at the helm of the Green Bay Packers.”

The numbers suggest that, indeed, every other year since he became the starter in 2008 was better. But 2015 hardly was a disaster for Rodgers, who completed 60.7 percent of his passes for 3,821 yards, threw 31 touchdown passes against eight interceptions, and generated a passer rating of 92.7. Plenty of lesser quarterbacks would have loved those numbers, and Rodgers surely would have loved the support around him that plenty of lesser quarterbacks enjoy.

It is entirely stupid to blame one person or one thing for a teams problems. Rodgers certainly holds some of the blame for last year but there are at least a dozen other factors that contributed to the miserable shit-show that was the offense last season.

Losing montgomery's explosiveness limited this team. Already without Jordy or Jmike, there just wasn't enough.

Aaron still disappointed me though.

He has to prove he's not declining.

Don't like to blame injuries because all teams get them, but it's pretty tough to have an elite offense when all the starters on the Oline missed games and played injured all year, lost the number one receiver and nobody stepped up their game. Cobb and Adams were both injured more severely than let on. And then to top it off, Lacy was a fat fuck all year, and forgot he was a professional athlete.

Also, how many top draft picks does that defense have? Can Dom ever get them to play at a high level?

Aaron Rodgers is the least of our problems.

No matter how good your QB is, he can't do it alone. The WRs were sub par (injuries) Lacy was out of shape, and the O-line had too many injuries.
Even with that, Rodgers had 31 TD passes, 3 more then he had the year they won the SB.
So he deserves SOME of the blame, but not an over large amount.
Hopefully this season things will come together.

As far as I'm considered, the offense as a whole deserves blame. There are few that maybe should not be blamed, Richard Rodgers, James Jones, etc... as they got the most out of their (limited) talents. But the none of the other pieces looked normal last year.

Aaron Rodgers looked above average (which is very VERRRRY bad for Aaron's normal standards). And people have blamed the OL and the WRs (who do deserve blame) but the times when the OL and WR would do well in a game... Aaron could not make the most of it, and struggled throwing some passes (especially a couple of deep balls to Jones) on target. I still think Aaron was mentally or physically injured last year during the Broncos game.

    Mucky Tundra (12h) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
    buckeyepackfan (12h) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
    buckeyepackfan (12h) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
    Mucky Tundra (12h) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
    Zero2Cool (12h) : Watson gonna be OK???
    packerfanoutwest (15h) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
    packerfanoutwest (15h) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
    packerfanoutwest (16h) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
    Zero2Cool (18h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
    Zero2Cool (18h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
    bboystyle (18h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
    Zero2Cool (18h) : Ahh, ok.
    bboystyle (18h) : yes due to tie breaker
    Zero2Cool (18h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
    Zero2Cool (18h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
    bboystyle (18h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
    Mucky Tundra (19h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
    beast (20h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
    beast (20h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
    Zero2Cool (20h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
    bboystyle (20h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
    Mucky Tundra (20h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
    Zero2Cool (20h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
    beast (21h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
    packerfanoutwest (21h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
    Zero2Cool (22h) : I see what you did there Mucky
    Zero2Cool (22h) : dammit. 3:25pm
    Zero2Cool (22h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
    Mucky Tundra (22h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
    Mucky Tundra (22h) : Yeah baby!
    Zero2Cool (22h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
    Zero2Cool (23h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
    beast (23h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
    packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
    beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
    beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
    beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
    beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
    beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I literally just said it.
    packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
