Rodgers deserves no blame. He made one mistake in which he forced a pass on 3rd and 20. At that point we NEEDED a first down and that's to the offensive line we were put in a hole. There are only so many plays he could do there. Either big play down field, INC pass or INT. Nothing you can do about that. Oh and I forgot he threw 3 TD;'s and over 300 yards. Any way you spin this you can't blame Rodgers. Unless you want him to throw 4-5 TD's in a game instead of 3...

Um, it was like almost 5 mins left in the game from what I remember. I don't think you "NEEDED a first down". That makes no sense. Sorry.

Your posts have 0 credability when you don't take into account TD's and Passing Rating.
Seriously the D allowed 174 yards of rushing
Get a clue man.

Um, I don't even know how to respond to this. I don't think you really understand what is going on. You didn't even address the point, you didn't need a first down. Unless you have a magic ball that tells what happens in the future, I don't get your point. There could have been a fumble, a botched snap, etc. By throwing an INT, the game is surely over. Whereas if you punt it, the game is not over and anything can happen. But if you throw a ball that probably has zero percent chance of being caught by your own team, the game is over. But of course that makes too much sense....
BUT Rodgers had 3 TD's and 300+ yards. He played well. But he made a critical error that had a huge huge huge impact on the game. Which I'm sure he would even tell you. At the end of the day regardless of what the Defence is playing like:
You had the ball down 20-17 with all the time in the world on the clock. The defence was on the bench at the time (I'm not sure about this though).
