Where are the A-Rod Haters

[texaspackerbacker]

One place the ARod haters certainly weren't was Lambeau. It seemed like the media assholes were disappointed about that.

Did anybody notice the blunders those clueless bastards made talking about Clowney? It seemed like the dumbasses didn't even know that he was with the Packers last preseason.

oops..

-He almost killed Jones on his TD pass...

Not an exceptional pass, but catchable.

horrible pass...

-He missed badly to Martin on a 3rd down that coulda kept the drive alive

I'd agree--although you have to keep from throwing it inside there.

Agree you keep that ball to the outside but its suppose to be outside and low, away from the defender.. not in in the 3rd row of bleachers

-He under threw Martin, but a great adjustment to the ball by him

That was a good ball. See Favre to Jennings against Seattle in the playoffs.

I think they are 2 different throws myself.. I know, throw in backside shoulder.. but it really looked like he just under threw him to me

-He didn't put enough air under the ball for Jones on a corner route for him to make an adjustment on a ball that needs to be completed... the guy was WIDE OPEN.. coulda been a huge play

Jones looked inept there. Stumbling, bumpling.

Man.. thats a tough one to put on Jones... he threw a liner that didn't allow him to run underneath it at an angle but instead cut short his route towards the sidelines.. not many make that catch I don't think... bad throw in my book

-He held the ball way too much

Agreed.

If this don't get fixed... he really may not be standing after week 5

-The pass to Francies was in a tight spot which was nice to see him have some guts to put a ball in there but the WR was hit basically at the same time as the guy tryin to catch it, those things happen

If that was Favre, people would be talking about what an awesome throw that was. The frigign' ball hit him between the "8" and "3". Any of our top 4 WRs catches that ball.

I said the same thing to my buddy after she bitched about the INT.. and I agree with you but this isn't about comparing him to Favre... he threw it in coverage and those things happen on those slant passes.. they happened with Favre and they'll happen with Rodgers[/quote]

[Pacopete4]

on a side note.. our running game stunk once again.. I sure hope it don't take us 8-10 games like last season because I'm not sure Rodgers will be good enough at the start to get us to 8-1, 9-1...

Uhm... our first two backs averaged 6 yrds a carry between them. That "stinks" to you?

thats against the #1 D from Cincy... Cincy's D is horrid and we had 2 carries for 38 yards and then 4 for 6....


consistency is the best thing about sports..

And that was with our starting running back, center, and left tackle sitting out. Our 2nd stringers started against that #1 D in the run game and did fine.

Also, mind editing out that double post you left above?

On the plus side, the Bengals offense (minus T.J. and Rudi, but with Carson and Chad) had 13 yards and 0 first down in three series in the first quarter. Very vanilla though.

The only true haters are those not able to cheer for the Packer QB regardless of who it is. I'm not sure there are many "haters" here.

I consistently had a bias toward bringing Favre back; I still would have and stand by that.

But he's gone so now I cheer for AROD. I only consider one to be a hater if he/she is anti Green Bay where they can't cheer for the team.

[HarveyWallbangers]

What did you think of ARod tonight?

When the starters were in we looked solid; a better pass rush would be nice though

[texaspackerbacker]

I don't believe you whiners. Rodgers was pretty close to perfect. The long pass to Martin appeared to be intentionally underthrown. The long one to Jones appeared catchable. He was 9 of 15 with at least 3 drops, one by Driver that he catches maybe 9 out of 10 times, and two by Francies who almost certainly won't make the team anyway.

Very solid; I'd take the play in the season in a second.

Solid play calling of high % passes at the start probably helped him get in a nice rhythm. But I thought he looked very good.

thats the shit I'm talking about... he was no where near perfect and even he'd have the brass to tell you that himself... he played well, there's not getting around that.. but close to perfect?.. give me a break...

[Pacopete4]

its pretty simple.. Rodgers went out and played a solid ball game and made a couple plays, goofed a couple, and overall moved the team down the field in a preseason game against a vanilla defense but also without his LT, C, RB, and #2 WR... so the guy is on track if he keeps gaining experience and fixes the little things because those are the things that add up to being a great QB

[boiga]

And that's why the night ends on a hopeful note.

Rodgers showed that he likely has what it takes to make it in this league. If we can stay healthy elsewhere, that bodes very well for our season.

I believe, with him staying healthy, it bodes well for seasons in the future more so than this season.. I really think there is going to be too many bumps this season with basically a rookie QB... just an opinion
