I was wondering if anyone else noticed after Rodgers threw the int that he seemed to hold the ball a little longer each time he went back. Yes the line was bad but there were a few times he could of just threw the ball away. I wanted him to shine last night and it seemed like he got the deer in headlights look as others brought up in chat. But then again this is only his 2nd year starting so maybe he will get more experience with this stuff.

You know what the problem is? Most of the time, he didn't even hold on that long. Our perception is just so skewed because of this O-line, that anything longer than a 3 step drop is holding on to the ball too long.
I think he'll keep doing this. It's one of those characteristics that every QB has. Just like Favre always trying to throw it into tight spots. That problem got much more severe when he didn't have an O-line either.
I truly believe that, if we get a good O-line (And Dom calls some blitzes) that we'll be a contender again.
I'd even go as far as saying that we should try to trade for a tackle at this point. I wouldn't have minded throwing a whole lot of picks at Peters, but that's in hindsight. You could always call around and see if, for instance, the Titans want to trade their RT. No ones going to give up a great LT without having a great reason to do so, but with the way that Titans defense is playing now, you ought to get them interested in trading away Stewart for, maybe, a great DE...
