The team had 70 yards of offense in the first half...are YOU watching the same game I am? I commented on Aaron Rodgers in another thread, that Davante play you referenced and the end zone td...bad stuff, i agree. Before we get all gaga for how close we could have been, again, 70 damn yards in the 1st half. Aaron Rodgers not throwing that int so its 10-3 would have merely been lipstick on a pig. When in the game did the offense show it could protect or move the ball if not gifted garbage time leniency or a 15 yard field to operate with?
Abby's first target and Adams in the endzone yet again highlighted one of the bigger culprits. Even IF they get open, they can't catch. RRodg gets tackled by grass. What viable weapons does this offense have?

He's failing to execute well-rehearsed scripted plays! He cant react right to a blitz! He's not going thru his progressions. He's like a safety that cant tackle; a DLman that cant get push; an OLman that cant block.
Your logic is out of whack; you have to control for variables!!! You're like the DR that concludes hot dogs caused cancer because all 10 of his cancer patients admitted to eating them.
There probably have not been 6 halves of football in the last 10 years where the the other 10 guys on Offense played close to flawless. Marshall Newhouse was a LT for 1.5 seasons for god sake; we've consistently been in the top of the league in drops; Rodgers has had up to 6 dropped passes in a half; wrong routes are run all the time...But before this year how many of those times when the other 10 offensive guys were performing not so great did it cause us to have 70 yards in a half?????
If you control the variables, you will see NOTHING has changed this year EXCEPT RODGERS. He was a great/MVP player, he simply is not one anymore! Personally, I'm amused by how difficult this has been for so many Packer fans to understand this. It really underscores how the masses are easily led. America became convinced there were WOMD in Iraq as easily as being convinced it's not AR's fault, 'cause he be good. Starr was great, just not anymore!
Everyone's looking for excuses to protect Lord Rodgers that's why their heads are confused mess of cause and effect. If Rodgers was MVP this year: everyone would be talking about how great Davante has been, he'd have 70 catches for 1000 yards and 6-7 TDs; an what a 3rd round steal R.Rodgers was, etc.
It's not MM's fault either; MM hasn't lost this team in anyway; MM got 52 guys fired up to play great in AZ, especially amazing given the PED news that came out that morning. It was AR that didn't come to play! But, a team can be lost on one bad decision, like continuing to start a shitty QB.
