Rodgers did everything he could to win this game, unless he wants to suit up on coverage teams and effectively break up a lane.

Throwing exclusively late in the game yesterday bit us with leaving too much time on the clock.. but that isn't of Aaron's doing.

That final Packer drive was big time from Rodgers.. absolutely big time.

Why? Because those actually worked?

The drives where we went 70/30 pass/run were the ones we actually got somewhere with. The drives where we tried to establish a running game, we went for a yard, lost another two and got into 3rd and long situations.

When we "gave up" on the run, the running game started opening up. We're not a team that pounds the ball when Grant is out. With B-Jax, we should run it Patriots style. As soon as we started passing and calling some draws to slow down the pass rush, we started getting some yardage on the ground.

And I know that the whole "teeing off on the QB" aspect will come back, but how much did that really bother us this game? On those 5 receiver sets, every single time they brought an extra blitzer, we picked up about 5 yards, getting it to the hot receiver.

Can't blame the defense, either. Check Matt Ryan's statline. Check Turner's stats. Check the safety play. We were playing bend but don't break to the extreme all day long.

And we did a damn good job.

Take out our mishaps on STs and we give up 17 points to one of the most potent offensen in the NFL. That's nothing to be ashamed off.

Well said, Rock. I know it was mentioned a lot but in the 60s, everyone knew we'd run the Packer sweep and nobody could stop us.

Well, let's look at our roster. Do have a Forrest Gregg? No. A Fuzzy Thurston? No. A Jim Taylor? No. A Paul Horning? No.

What do we have then? A Greg Jennings? Check. A James Jones? Check. An Aaron Rodgers? Check. A Chad Clifton (who is a solid pass blocker)? Check.

Well, maybe it's because we were designed to be a passing team.

Just maybe. What do I know? I'm just a fan. But if you can read MM's mind, he tells the media balance when he knows he built this team as a passing team. Is it any coincidence that we have so many good receivers (both WRs and TEs) but only one good RB?

Looking forward to the day when everyone knows we're going to pass the ball but nobody can stop us. That's what 2010 was supposed to be. That's what Mike McCarthy wants. Balance is just something you tell the media people because they're morons anyways and they're made to be lied to.

Pack - I'm just talking about what Mike McCarthy says to the media. Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson are notorious for saying a bunch of words with absolutely no meaning.

LOL.. it wasn't meant as anything other than I disagree that you have to maintain a level of balance to become a consistent football team. Nothing more..

But Rodgers played a damn near perfect game.. we tapped him out for everything we could.

But good solid football teams that don't make a ton of mistakes, like the Falcons, we need to take full advantage of situations.. and when we can't run the ball.. it limits our abilities.

Such as running the ball here and there late, milking more time off the clock in the end and not giving them time to work with. Throwing the ball and having incompletes here and there stop the clock.. clock they utilized to beat us. That and special teams.

Rodgers took what was in front of him and maximized it.. what a great QB does.. sometimes the other teams make enough plays to beat you as a team. That was yesterday.. Aaron deserves little blame in this game.

We're not beating anyone in the playoffs with our running game. Kinda hard to throw when opposing defenses are dropping 7 or 8 into coverage on every down because they know we can't run.

I wanted to scream every time I saw that goddamn 5-WR set on 3rd (or 4th) and 1.

I've got no problem passing to set up the run. No problem at all.

But that's not what we're doing - we're passing because we can't run. And everyone knows it. And from here on out, everyone's going to exploit it.

If Rodgers was any less talented than he is, we'd be 4-7 or worse now...

Zero2Cool (7h) : I guess 3 games. Whatever

Zero2Cool (7h) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (10h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (11h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (11h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (11h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (11h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (12h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (12h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (13h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (15h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (22h) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (23h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
