I also wonder about Rodgers last night. He had at least three passes that wobbled much more than normal, one took a nosedive before it got to the receiver. I have rarely seen him throw wobblers without there being a tip, but that did not appear to be the case last night. The two I distinctly remember were in the first half. Not sure when third was.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Was one of them the one he underthrew to Nelson? Nelson made the catch but had to go down to do it. A good throw probably would've meant a TD.Originally Posted by pbmax
Even so, Rodgers is the difference between home field advantage and not even having a .500 record. He's that good. When I saw the on-screen comparison of the numbers between Favre and Rodgers in the first 100 games for each's career, Rodgers' TD-INT ratio was incredibly better. And I think he's even thrown for more TD's. He's a way, way better QB than Favre was, even in his prime, if you go by the numbers.

Yes, that was one. The other I remember (because replay on video board had a good angle) was a throw to the hash mark at about linebacker depth. It was either Adams or Cobb and it just dove into the turf behind the receiver. I think it was short of their feet.

Daniels was held out of practice last week due to a back problem. There was some uncertainty as to whether he would play.
I would like to blame his performance (more specifically the lack thereof) to his back and to missing practice this week; unfortunately. Mr. Talks Big has not been the most consistent player. While he has had some very good games, he has also been invisible in several earlier games this year, so who knows?
At this point, I don't think there is much question at all about this.
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
Well, there was one that he threw to Adams, but that one looked more like Adams ran a route different than the one Rodgers expected. I did, however, see Rodgers throw one uncharacteristically in a place where the DB could get his hands on it, instead of leading the receiver.
But Matt Stafford does that about ten times a game.
As for the Favre/Rodgers comparison, I meant it to underscore how very very very good Rodgers is. Favre was no slouch - considered by some (though not by me) to be the best QB ever to play in Green Bay before Roders arrived.

Not worried about the defense at all. First half was a great half and they coasted to victory. I am getting more worried about the redzone but hey can't really complain about the offense either...HOWEVER BLOCKED FREAKING EXTRA POINT!!!! WHAT THE F!!!
Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
The special teams AND the defense looked disorganized in the 2nd half. THREE timeouts on defense?? Nice Chinese fire drill organization guys!
The special teams FG/PAT blocks and punt blocks/tips are inexcusable. The only good special teams were from Crosby's 53 yarder and Crosby making a tackle on Hester.
Lack of execution on offense and defense not adjusting to Julio Jones allowed ATL to crawl back in this. I get the feeling this team is playing to the level of its competition in most games.

No "TROLLS" allowed!
Mason Crosby is clearly on my winners list.
3/3 on FGs of 38, 33 and 53 yards. The 53 yarder with 4:33 remaining for a 13 point lead was big, with the way Atlanta was scoring.
On nine kickoffs he kept Hester under control, with Atlanta's best starting position being their own 34.
He made one tackle himself.
All in all, a solid performance, even with the extra point block, which looked like it was the result of a collapse in the blocking..
Winner - Jordy Nelson busts through the SI cover curse with a vengeance.

Based on his play: Again Who?!
