Really sick of poor accuracy

[BobDobbs]

I totally agree with Partial that A rod had a tough game. His passes were floating high all day and he didn't have a lot pop on his throws. And he needs to see the whole field and make quicker descions. But, we didn't get a run going until late in the game. McCarthy didn't seem very dedicated to it. I was glad that they started throwing vertically today, but they went overboard. They never established any consistency on offense, definitely should have scored more points, but I think McCarthy holds more blame than Rodgers.

As far as the red zone drive. That is not Rodgers fault. Moll did snap the jersey, but that was a very tight call. We should have had the ball on the ten and been ready to score the winning points. That sack was exactly the kind of sack that the ball should not have been thrown away. That's a pick waiting to happen.

Today was on the D. No way around it, the couldn't get off the field unless it was by turnover. That first touchdown was keystone cops. Multiple big plays. No pressure at the end. Again. We're just not very good right now.

a-rod had some bad overthrows early, but i blame those on the wr's running in slow motion to start the game, probably because of the cold or longer cleats. on the first overthrow to jennings it looked like jennings was running full speed, but he was moving like he was jogging.

the long bomb to jennings in double coverage though was a thing of beauty. the pass was perfect

oh, and it was ass cold. hard to grip a ball and fire as hard as you can in those conditions

There was one to Jordy Nelson I think in the first half that was the same way, the pass looked perfect and it was we it had to be, he just didn't seem like he was running full speed, it may have been the his footing. I thought to myself damn we need a guy with gamebreaking speed on offense.

Didn't play defense? Was the ball not in his hands with 2 minutes left?!?!? He had every opportunity to win the game. They were in field goal range, and he blew it.

And he drove the team down and had them in scoring position. An absolutely terrible penalty call changed the scope of that drive. There is such an absolute blindness out there when it comes to what Rodger does. He had a bad game. Period. I agree with you. But his accuracy on the year has been fine. Rodgers is our QB for the future. Anybody who is comfortable with that is crazy. With a better defense and some better breaks this is a much better team - which consequently we got last year and were a much better team.

This whole crap about Rodgers not winning a game in the fourth is BS. He's done his job a number of times. Tennessee, he got the ball down the field and tied the game and the defense then crapped it away not once but twice - only being saved by a missed field goal. Minnesota he drove the ball down and got a field goal to put us up six. The defense crapped it away. Even despite that he drove the team down again and had them at the 40 and MM decided a 55 yard field goal was close enough. Carolina he drives down and gets the team to the one. MM takes the ball out of his hands and the settle for a field goal but it gets us the lead. Then special teams and defense crap another one away. And today he had us down there again only to have everything get pissed away by a bad penalty call.

Some touchdowns on those drives would have been nice but even without getting touchdowns he's driven us down and gotten points in a number of games that the defense has promptly made worthless.

OK OK, I guess its unreasonable to expect to score when you have the ball at the 25 yard line with 4 downs.

It is when you get a holding penalty and your line whiffs on a blitz. Once you actually start watching football, you'll get that.

If the point of the thread is about accuracy I still don't get it. He has been pretty accurate. Every QB's stats are inflated by short completions. It's not like he's the only QB out there making short throws. Favre dumped the ball off all day today. As some have pointed out, Rodgers is near the top ten in completion percentage. But even beyond that what I've seen with my own eyes shows that he's plenty accurate. Today was not good but through the whole season I have no complaints with Rodgers accuracy.

The holding call I agree on, no one is disputing that isn't his fault.. I don't even remember what the result of the holding play was? Did they even have a positive yardage play with the advantage?

The smart quarterback throws the ball away through the back of the end zone and lets his team kick for 3. What is so hard to comprehend? Furthermore, the point of this thread the poor accuracy.

A-Rod was consistently off today and throwing behind receivers. This left tons of YAC on the field, and many balls were dropped (some nearly intercepted) that should have been decent gains and would have moved the chains.

i'm not sure you put this whole thing on the defense either. they did have 4 turnovers. the only points the pack scored was off of turnovers. to me it was a full team loss.....helped along by some piss poor calls. just seemed like the game wasn't called evenly for both sides.

[bobblehead]

I was wondering how long it would take someone to say Rodgers can't lead the team to victory. What's he supposed to do?

switch to DE.

DING DING DING. I am truly surprised by most of the comments here. A-Rod left probably 5-6 first downs (let alone sequential first downs that would have followed had the drive been extended) on the field with bad passes today. The offense straight up did not produce.

While giving up a million yards, the defense held firm and gave up 21 points and put us in a chance to win with 2 minutes left and the ball in gimme field goal range for Crosby with 4 downs for the offense to make something happen. They did not.

Blaming the defense exclusively is a cop out.

Tie game, was the ball not at the 2 yard line? And nm the holding call that nullified first down on the prior series which stared the spiral (phantom or not). As I said, Rodgers did not have his A-game, but to blame the loss on him, come on.

Obviously the loss isn't on Rodgers, but for whatever reason he again came up short with the game on the line! The D gave up a bunch of yards, but also got a bunch of Turnovers....so is that a good or bad day. It should've been enough, if the O can do anything.

[LEWCWA]

The defense had their own blame, but had we converted on a field goal when in the red zone, it would have been a tie, or had we gotten a touchdown, it would have been a victory.

My fucking god. How can you put this all on the defense?!? After the offense cannot convert despite getting into the red zone, do you think they had any wind left in their sails?!?

Everyone and their mother knew if the Texans got the ball back they would win the game. The offense could not put the ball in the end zone, and the blame for that falls on the QB.

How can I put this all on the D? HOUSTON WAS BACKED UP TO ITS OWN 2 YARD LINE. They should be abel to make one simple stop. The ius no fucking excuse for allowing an almost 70 yard dirve with less than 2 minutes left. It was their fucking job to make a stop and get the ball back to ARod. THEY BLEW IT! IF you can't see that you are either blind or ignorant.

You are completly correct! But Arod had the Offense at the 10 and didn't score!!There is no fucking excuse for not scoring. THEY BLEW IT. If you can't see that you are......well just ignorant

If you are talking about the last drive, then no they didn't have it at the 10. They had an 11-yard run that would have given them a 1st and 10 at the 11, but it was called back by a bad holding call. Instead, it was 2nd and 17 at Houston's 32. Then, the poor blocking on a quick sack.

[imscott72]

And yet again, he shows that he is completely incapable of leading a team to victory.

Yeah he sucks. His completion % is better than both Manning boys. His QB rating for the season is better than Favre and Peyton. Cut him loose!

Exactly, but let the countdown begin to someone saying the holding call and the poor blocking was also Arod's fault..

You do know that he holds the ball too long, right?
