I love this part ...
Mason Crosby's 38-yard attempt was blocked, leaving Rodgers 0-8 this season when trailing by less than eight points with less than 5 minutes to play.

Crosby misses the FG and it counts against Rodgers, lol. That tells ya a lot about this author.

GB Took over on Chicago's 35 with 3:03 left!
So in 3:00 A-Rod moved them what 16 yards?
Put the ball in the endzone and you don't have to worry about the field goal.
Good point! Let's evaluate this.
9-R.Gould kicks 52 yards from CHI 30 to GB 18. 27-
W.Blackmon pushed ob at 50 for 32 yards (29-A.Peterson).
1-10-CHI 35 (3:05) 12-A.Rodgers pass incomplete short left to 82-R.Martin.
2-10-CHI 35 (3:01) 12-A.Rodgers pass short left to 85-G.Jennings to CHI 33 for 2 yards (21-C.Graham).
3-8-CHI 33 (2:20) (Shotgun) 12-A.Rodgers pass short left to 89-J.Jones to CHI 24 for 9 yards (21-C.Graham).
When the ball was in Rodgers hands, incomplete, 2 yard completion, 9 yard completion for a first down. Looks like Rodgers is moving the chains.
We get a fresh set of downs at the two minute mark.
Two-Minute Warning
1-10-CHI 24 (2:00) 25-R.Grant right end to CHI 23 for 1 yard (96-A.Brown).

3-5-CHI 19 (1:11) 25-R.Grant left guard to CHI 20 for -1 yards (44-K.Payne, 93-A.Ogunleye).
Timeout #2 by GB at 00:25.
4-6-CHI 20 (:25) 2-M.Crosby 38 yard field goal is BLOCKED (96-A.Brown),
Center-61-B.Goode, Holder-10-M.Flynn, ball out of bounds at CHI 23.
What's this? Grant 1 yd, Grant 4 yds (thats better), Grant -1 yd (wtf), blocked FG which was a poor kick per Mike McCarthy.
So, Aaron got us a first down, then the coach took the ball out of his hands and ran the ball three straight times and then Crosby kicks it too low and this is all Rodgers fault?
btw, I am by NO means saying Rodgers is a good comeback QB or anything like that. I'm just trying to be fair here. And in THIS case, I don't see how anyone can legitmately blame Rodgers for the Bears game loss. I think more of it is on McCarthy and Crosby.
