I am just curious but to me it sure seemed like Rodgers really didn't care about the game. Remember when Favre would seem to just go thru the motions? Like people say he did against the Giants in the Championship game. I have noticed this in a few games with Rodgers including last night. His Int he threw he just walked off the field like oh well and that is not Rodgers, especially how he worries about his INTs. Well t was just something I noticed again.

He knew his head was not in right place for much of the last 2 years.
In the game last night, he made 2 of his most boneheaded plays sulking after adversity: The INT came after bogus OPI call on Bennett and false start on Cobb; his 96 yard sack in red zone came after OPI on Allison calling back Cobb's TD. Rodgers fumble for TD might have come from him sulking after Allison ran the wrong route. I cant believe he forgot the protection he called; it shows something interfered with his normal thinking process.
But, its baby steps, once you give your mind over to being an ass and it envelopes everything you do for over a year, it will take time to lose all traces of the assness.
