Dude, you're just embarrasing yourself at this point, which is sad because you've shown glimpses of rational thought before.

A 52-yarder is make-able. In a dome. 52 yards against swirling winds when it's -2 out is a bad idea. That pass to Jones was man-like, and it certainly improved the chance to make that field goal. Of course, when the line lets the other team get 2-3 yards into our backfield and the kicker hits it flat, the whole argument doesn't matter.

He did what we needed him to do (and possibly all he was allowed to do, depending on McCarthy's play calls and what his ability to change them might have been), and that's what people here are saying. And you know this, no matter how much you like to see if you can piss people off, "lol".

52 yards with wind and negative degree weather is not field goal range. Especially when you try drawing your comparison to the 52 yards in the Metrodome...thats just silly.

Have you ever been to Soldier Field or downtown Chicago during a night like last night?

Want a fact? They were on the 33 with a 3rd and 8..thats a 50 yarder


Were you or were you not one one the people bitching that AR didnt get them closer then the 53 yarder vs the Viks? Lets remember that the att that night was INDOORS

Last night Rodgers gets them a completion for another 1st down, and 9 yards closer for a Fg attempt

Sorry but that my friend is driving them down, weather its 1 yard or 2, or 50..He got completions to keep drive alive, and further down the field...WHY is that so hard to understand?

You much rather have Mason attempt a 50 yarder in weather like it was? when in fact he had a hard time kicking a 53 yarder?

Neither of these two can come up with rational thoughts, ever.

May be they don't understand the Human element of trying to kick a 50 yarder in below zero and windy conditions and what kind of tricks it plays with your crazy mind...

kicking field goals scares me EVERY TIME

Maybe Mm is trying to avoid what happened in the NFCGG last year, you know..

OT

Brett throws an int

Maybe Mike is gun shy after that???

i'm a huge supporter of mccarthy/thompson, and i have been from the beginning. but, i will say this: being gun shy won't get you far in this league. NFL = No Fear League

Aaron Rodgers can't prove himself until McCarthy turns him loose and last night he took the ball out of his hands and told him I have more confidence in our anemic running game than I have in you.
The whole 2nd half McCarthy was playing "not to loose".

:icon_smile: Attention. All yo people who had Roddyboy on ignore, it appears you'll have to change that to Fred.
I don't see much need for getting to fired up. The way I see it is when the year started all I wanted to see from Aaron is that he's good enough that we have a future at QB. That's been more then proven to me so I got what I wanted out of this season. Sure playoffs would of been nice but it's his first year and he's shown we're set at the positon which is more then you can say about even the Bears or Vikings who are ahead of us. The deal about him not winning a close game is foolish. I see it a a string of bad breaks as it seems footballs full of. All of the sudden the same guy wins 5 last minute games next year and hardly changes anything so let's keep are head up and be proud Packer fans. :thumbright:
