Remember the Atlanta game in 2014 amidst a perfect home record? They were owning Atlanta, much like they were owning Detroit by halftime yesterday. Then, they went into a shell in the second half and held on to win in both games, which takes me back to my points. It's a calculated way to win, but can give the fans discomfort at times. They were certainly short-handed, and probably wanted to make sure they didn't sustain any further injury. Is it the best approach? I don't know. They won.
You're probably right ....... and that's an OK thing right up until it isn't. Occasionally, something goes wrong with that "just getting by" approach, and you don't. In other words, rarely, Aaron Rodgers doesn't bail him out from his stupid tendency to be that way.
