The season is not over by any stretch of the imagination. But I believe it is time for a sense of urgency. We have played one good game IMO all season (against the 1-3 Vikings). There are so many reasons for this record, TT, MM, o-line, RB (though Grant did awesome today IMO), d-line, etc. But can people please stop saying "we suck, but Rodgers had 3 TD's and 300 yards".
Aaron Rodgers has played well. He's nothing great, nothing terrible. I'm sick of hearing about his QB rating and his TD numbers, etc. WHO CARES. We're 2-3. We lost 3 games all regular season last year. Statistics are so useless, what matters is wins and losses and thats it.
Statistics are affected by so many factors. For example if the other team is playing prevent defence and then you go score (i.e. gaining 100+ yards against Dallas when the other team has left the stadium). Or based on missed tackles or running instead of passing on the 3 yard line, etc. Who cares is all I'm saying.
At the end of the day this is what I care about:
Down 23-21 against the Bucs in the 4th quarter, 2+ mins left and picked off.
Down 20-17 against the Falcons in the 4th quarter, picked off.He's played well. But he has made his share of mistakes and this 2-3 record has just as much to do with him as the rest of the team. A great QB gets you down the field in at least one of the games and wins you the game. He hasn't been great, he hasn't been bad. Those are two winnable games. Who cares about statistics is all I'm saying.
Give his due, he's played great at times and especially considering the amount of pressure he was in before this season. But please give him the share of the blame too.
I just think it is stunning that people are blaming the O-line or the Defence, etc for this loss but not mentioning Rodgers.
This makes NO sense. 20-17 IN THE FOURTH AND YOU THROW A BRUTAL INT IN YOUR OWN END THAT LEADS TO 27-17, you are a BIG part of the blame. You had the game in your hands and you failed. The O-line was FINE on that play, he had all day, it wasn't their fault. If he wnet down and won, he would have got all the praise, so give him some of the blame. Be objective.
