ARE WE GIVING AROD A FREE PASS ??????????????????

[Noodle]

No one said that. I'm noticing a ton of guys on this board that blindly apologize for the dude when he doesn't step up in clutch situations. I'll say it again, if he has an average game Sunday we are comfortably cruising to the super bowl. Truth hurts. If you didnt see An offense that couldn't get out of its own way Sunday, I don't know what to tell you.

There's something to this. For example, why do we assume the pick on the throw to Cobb was Cobb's fault; maybe it was A-Rod who misread the coverage or threw the wrong route.

A lot of us did this with Favre -- no pick was his fault, it was usually the receiver's fault for running the wrong route or not selling out to make the catch. Until he went to the Jets/Vikes.

Playing QB in that stadium must suck balls, but there's no way an objective fan (oxymoron, I know) can say that A-Rod had a good game Sunday.

Cobb admitted it was his fault and was summarily flogged

I thought I heard Cobb later admitted he ran the wrong route on that INT? The first pick was Aaron's fault because he threw it late. Unfortunately the zebras didn't notice Bennett was offsides on the play and why Rodgers threw it in the first place. Rodgers isn't infallible but I'm not going to throw him under the bus. I suspect had he been 100% our offense doesn't sputter.

I think that's right. But Rodgers also missed Cobb later, for what might have broken into a long gain or TD. Too bad. Rodgers did not have great game, and some of it was his fault. How much of that was due to injury is unknowable.
