Really sick of poor accuracy

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

Then what the hell was Carolina?

Blaming the defense exclusively is a cop out.

But I guess that for you exclusively blaming Rodgers isn't a cop out. Whatever.

I didn't. I blame the offense. As the quarterback, they get the blame as they are in the leadership role on the offense.

I made this thread before the end of the game. He threw a total of 9 truly awful passes that left plenty of yardage, particularly on third down, on the field.

What gives with that?

[th87]

Yeah, because letting a team pile up almost 600 yards of offense is totally acceptable.

My blame roughly goes like this:

Defense: 85%
That crappy holding, sack sequence in the 4th: 10%
Rodgers' inaccuracy: 5%

Despite the inaccuracy, he still put the team in a position to win until the ref decided to call a phantom holding, and Colledge decided to take the play off.

How can you blame a defense that gives up 21 points and forces four turnovers? How many more turnovers or fewer points should they have given up?

"In less subtle ways, the offense was almost as responsible for the defeat. Determined to stop the run and almost daring the Packers to pass, the Texans put their marginal set of defensive backs in so many man-to-man situations that Green Bay's net passing yardage of 279 actually was a disappointment.

But Aaron Rodgers threw enough off-target passes and the entire offense malfunctioned on third down enough times so the Texans' defense was able to maintain its equilibrium.

"I didn't get it done today," Rodgers said. "Too inconsistent."

Nevertheless, the Packers suddenly found themselves in position to win after the Texans blew a coverage and Donald Driver turned an intermediate crossing route into a 59-yard catch and run."

Re: Really sick of poor accuracy

This is a truly awful game from A-Rod. How many times are you going to throw the ball behind the damn receiver? I have counted 7 just god awful passes.

This is his worst game of the season.

If his accuracy does not improve tremendously in the off-season, he is not the answer at QB.

He was throwing a lot of high balls today. I think the cold weather was probably part of his problem.

Rodgers had some beautiful passes too.

For all you A-Rod homers... Teams don't respect him.

Even the Texans, with their AWFUL secondary of journeymen said they wanted to focus 100% on stopping the run and dare A-Rod to beat them.

Well, A-Rod went 1 for 10 on 3rd down and proved that he is not as capable as many here seem to think he is. Fuck.

Lots of great quotes in there. I absolutely loath the 3rd down sentiment in there. Sure, they're ok in 3rd and short because they have a dominating short passing game.

But, they're the worst team in the league statistically at 3rd and long. That is what separates good teams from bad teams.

[th87]

Well since the Giants put 8 in the box against Favre in the NFCCG, they don't respect him either.

If you had said Rodgers played an inconsistent game, I'd agree with you. But you're presenting it as though he's the reason for the loss, which is ridiculous. And given your history of ridiculous Rodgers-bashing, do forgive us if we don't take you seriously.

What? The post was about yards left on the field and how if he continues this, he isn't the answer. I have said the defense obviously blew it, but the offense blew their shot too, and only put up 21 points. The defense put them in the position to be successful and they did not get it done. Where is blaming strictly A-Rod?!?

My goodness.

That's not blaming him? The more accurate statement would be that the Packers went 1-10.

And if you're going to conclude that teams don't respect him, you need to remember that the Giants stacked 8 in the box for Favre.

And if he continues what? Growing? Figuring out the NFL? I guess we should've gotten rid of Favre in 1994 too then.

Simple. A defense that had the Texans backed up to their OWN 2 YARD LINE and let them go right down the field and kick the GW FG.

That's not answering the question.

How many times previously in the game did they stop them!?! Are you going to blame a loss on a defense if the Packers lose 3-0 and force 4 turnovers?

[SkinBasket]

Partial, sometimes you go all retarded stoopid.

I think you need to watch some of your game film on Favre's games in cold weather last season to remember how difficult throwing in those conditions is. Yeah, he missed some passes. The WRs ran some slow routes. Our OL is busted up and kind of shitty sometimes. The Texans played defense. Shit happens. Every game. For every team. If you're expecting a perfect game out of our QB in single digit temps I also suspect you're going to be waiting by the fireplace with your cookies and milk in hand Christmas Eve.

[sheepshead]

I counted 9 passes that could have easily been completions had they been slightly better passes. That's terrible.

Again, his stats don't tell the tale, because anyone can dump it off 20 times again. I'm talking down the field.

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

You know, the problem is a lot of guys have a Brett Favre highlight reel in their head. They insert that into any mediocre game Arod has and blame the QB. Favre had plenty of bad throws, bad games, bad months even. ARod is doing just fine.
