Actually, the lead changed three times in the last 14 minutes; it only changed twice in the last 10 minutes. However, those numbers are deceiving, because in fact those two lead changes occurred within 27 seconds (1:57 and 1:30) of each other, after Rodgers had lead the team on a 10-minute drive. Anyone trying to pin this defeat on Rodgers is seriously grasping at straws.
Once again ignoring the problem Aaron Rodgers has leading the team to a comeback would be a HUGE mistake.

As I have said elsewhere, we wouldn't even be having this conversation had Favre not happened to come from behind and win his first game back in 1992. Other quarterbacks aren't held to this standard you are mentioning.
To answer your question,
dhazer, I have posted this stat several times on these boards:
In the last 8:00 of games, Favre himself only lead the team to come-from-behind-or-tie drives 22 times out of 90+ attempts in his 16 years in Green Bay -- a little more than once per year. Packers fans are the only group of fans making an issue out of this with their first-year starter.
A few months ago, someone posted a link to an audio clip of a radio show that gave the exact numbers, but I'm not finding it at the moment. Can the person who posted that link please resurrect it for us?
