I don't think it's intentional brakes. I think Rodgers is back to freelancing and our offense looks broke as fuck when he refuses to run it as designed.

HE IGNORES THE OPEN RECEIVER - I'm sorry, can you please point out a few plays where someone was clearly open and he didn't get the ball out/forced the ball to someone completely blanketed?
HE DOESN'T RUN THE OFFENSE - This is what it comes down to. You have a feeling, reality must be warped to cover this feeling even if it means having to accept that you personally know more about how the offense is designed to be run, what plays are being called, what the scouting reports say, what interactions are happening between coaches and Rodgers than Rodgers.
The receivers were blanketed all day long. Rodgers was getting the ball out fast when receivers were being given 8+ yards of pad. We checked into run more often than we checked out of it. We didn't force the ball deep on bombs. Most of Rodgers' sacks involved an O Lineman pushed backwards directly into his face within two seconds. Rodgers didn't hold onto the ball for 8+ seconds dancing around trying to wait for someone to get open instead of throwing the ball away.
But nope Rodgers still is to blame and "Isn't running the offense".
