Or the players need to execute better. First INT was all Rodgers - look at the replay or watch the A22 when it comes out. He snaps, stares down Davante ALL the way on a blitz and the CB read it precisely because Aaron Rodgers makes it obvious he will throw to Davante once Davante makes his cut. So CB jumps the route when ball is released, and easy pick-6. It was atrociously poor fundamentals from Rodgers, not a design flaw.
Second INT was simply a missed catch that Davante should have had. Maybe you can argue it's a but of a fluke with a defender right there to catch the tipped ball, but Davante has to make that though catch (and usually does 95% of the time). The ball was literally in the hands of Davante - he just needs to secure it; or, if he doesn't, more likely than not there is no other defender nearby to grab that deflection. Bad execution with a little bad luck thrown in.
The only thing I will question on the play-calling is early emphasis on Aaron Jones boundary run calls. For those to work, in addition to WRs blocking, the O-line has to get to the second level to block LBs. It was clear pretty early on that our O-line was not going doing well blocking the LBs on the second level.
Not going to lie: I was jarred by Aaron throwing 2 INTs - so I can understand the team totally being deflated when that happened. But the execution by players needs to improve more than anything; it wasn't a scheme flaw or anything that needs self-scouting.
