Can Rodgers still win the Super Bowl?

I read a stat that Aaron Rodgers is 7 - 9 in his last 16 post-season games .

Most seasons we can simply say the defense is why the Packers lost, but my question is, can Rodgers ever be why they win it all again?

I think three of them losses should have been wins and that the Packers should have at least entered the Super Bowl those seasons.
2021 49ers 13 - You cannot lose at home when opponent only gets 13 points. Losing AJ Dillon really hurt.
2020 Buccaneers 31 - 3 INT's, scored just one time, two three an outs with total -5 yards. Packers get few first downs off them and another score, Packers win.
2019 49ers 37
2016 Falcons 44
2015 Cardinals 28
2014 Seahawks 28 - fluky
2013 49ers 23
2012 49ers 45
2011 Giants 37

I think he can. But if he comes back, that’s going to be some serious pressure on him. He’s taking a LOT of heat after this last loss, even though it’s not solely his fault for the loss. Can you imagine how it’ll go if he loses in the playoffs again?

I also think he can. But not on his own. They have to find a way to keep their best players, and add to the team to shore up the weak points.
That will be very hard to do considering the salary cap.

Of course he can. More likely now than in the past, because now he's got this defense backing him up.

His biggest obstacle is himself, though. Bringing back his long time sycophant Tom Clements, is unlikely to keep him running the actual offense.

The loss of AJ Dillon is something I believe really hurt the Packers. That being said, the NFL MVP should have been able to lead an offense to more than 13 points at home in the playoffs in the climate they so badly wanted.

Aaron Rodgers isn't why the Packers loss, but he could have been the reason they won and wasn't. That's what I'm talking about with this thread. He won't be why we lose, but it doesn't seem like he's going to be why win either.

No he can't. Not alone anyway. He needs roughly 32 other players contributing to the win as well.

There is a big difference being someone who can tilt the game in your favor and one who cannot. And Aaron Rodgers does not seem to have the ability to tilt playoff games in the Packers favor. He did in 2010 and got the Packers further in the playoffs than they should a few seasons after that. However, the last two playoff losses the Packers need their QB to WIN the game for them and he couldn't. This isn't even a knock on Aaron Rodgers. The guy is closing in 40 years old in a young mans game.

Was he off in the SF playoff game? Yes but that was not your question. Does he have to play like Russell Wilson did a few years ago when he nearly brought the Seahawks back against GB? No. He shouldn't have to. Then again, the younger man, Wilson, didn't win that game did he? Rodgers should be able to play an average game for an NFL playoff QB and the team still win. Not be the superman on the team and win the game despite other players on the team failing.

If they can get and stay healthy, yes, that's the enemy... injuries. If the OL, Tonyan, MVS and Dillon were healthy, we would of won the Super Bowl this year.

The question is will our team be healthy next year?

beast (4h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (4h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (4h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (5h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (6h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (6h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (6h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (6h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (6h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (6h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (6h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (6h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (7h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (7h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (7h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (7h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (7h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (7h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (7h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (7h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (7h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (7h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (7h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (7h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (7h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (7h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (7h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (8h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (8h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (8h) : ok scratch that

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it

TheKanataThrilla (8h) : KC jumped and they call it on Eagles. WTF refs

TheKanataThrilla (8h) : If he was offside why did you let him pop the QB?

TheKanataThrilla (8h) : I like that Eagles are controlling time of possession so far.

Mucky Tundra (8h) : If the Eagles are going to win, this is how they do it: jump all over the Chiefs and don't let it turn into a close one

TheKanataThrilla (8h) : Bad throw created that penalty.

TheKanataThrilla (8h) : Amazed Philly got that hit to the helmet call.
