All Is Not Lost

[texaspackerbacker]

The season obviously is not down the drain. I could see where we could even end up with the NFC best record. Dallas plays in a meat grinder division, and could easily lose a few. The Packers, on the other hand, while it would be highly unlikely that we wouldn't slip up a time or two, played and lost tonight to the ONLY team on the schedule that we aren't IMO clearly better than.

Aaron Rodgers, who definitely is the biggest determining factor in how good this season is, did NOT screw up. He did just about everything you could ask of him with virtually no mistakes. Does anybody possibly NOT think that if Favre had been the QB it would have been hugely worse? I said all along the we have a better team with Rodgers, and even in defeat tonight, that seemed clear.

we still have the Bucs, Titans, Saints, Panthers, Jags, Colts, Vikings, and Bears twice... all that have looked tough this year already


if you think we got it easy, you're drinking too much of the koolaid

sooner or later ur QB has to go out and win a game... did u see that he could do that tonight? I sure as hell didnt...

I think it's impossible to say how Favre would have done. He quite possibly would have thrown 4 picks under that pressure. However, he also might have taken a few gamble that Rodgers didn't and won the game for you.

One thing is clear this year, Rodgers isn't going to turn the ball over much. If the rest of the team plays better around him, they'll win a lot of games. If Ryan Grant doesn't fumble early, if Jones doesn't drop a first down pass in the red zone, if the defense plays a little better against the run.

Nobody said it would be easy, and as I said, I'd be surprised if we didn't slip up and lose a time or two, but the Packers should be clear favorites in those games.

And I say again, it would NOT have been a pretty sight out there with Favre instead of Rodgers. He simply would not have been able to cope with the rush anywhere near the extent that Rodgers did.

Oh give it a rest. Rodgers didn't play a great game but he did make some plays that could have made a difference if the rest of the team had made some plays as well. The throw to Driver. The slant to Jones that he dropped for a first down in the red zone was a sweet throw right were it needed to be. Rodgers made some plays and didn't make any glaring mistakes. He got piss poor protection, a horrible effort against the run, and one or two key drops by the receivers. There is a big gap between these two teams but it isn't at the QB position, it's sitting right on the offensive and defensive lines.

Rodgers was just okay. He held the ball too much. There were a bunch of other bigger factors to us losing the game. He didn't go out and throw two picks in the first quarter to put us in a huge hole.

he probably woulda been reading the whole field, not half of it.. and the ball woulda came outta his hand ON TIME IN A WEST COAST SYSTEM THAT IS BASED ON TIMING...

What difference does it make if one throws 2 picks and gets you in a hole or one cannot punch in a touchdown to get you in a hole? To me, all that matters it the end result. Without a doubt we needed a playmaker at that position tonight. A-Rod showed that he isn't there yet.

Agreed. Arod looks to a QB that is gonna be real good but he's just not quite there yet and it'l take time for him to get there. We needed someone to step up and make a play tonight, Arod did not do that for us when we needed him to. But then again... who did?
