Parse it for signs of good (or bad) decision making? Sure.

But that is not the point of the article, OP or the previous commentary. Rodgers not delivering a Super Bowl berth covers the entire game and parses each failure along the way. Not to mention that in hindsight the FG was not enough. But it certainly seemed like a good idea at the time. A turnover was death at that point.
A turnover then or anytime thereafter was pretty much it, as was a turnover during any of the three previous plays. You can't play the game expecting to turn it over if you play anyway but the most cautiously.
