What Rodgers has and hasn't done in the 4th quarter

Re: What Rodgers has and hasn't done in the 4th quarter

A lot has been focused on the fact that Rodger has not engineered a two-minute win, and it is true, he hasn't. But what is overlooked is that he has moved the offense late in the game to go ahead and tying scores.

Rodgers has moved the offense to scores that tied the game or took a lead at:

5:40 of the 4th
3:08 of the 4th
2:00 of the 4th
5:35 of the 4th.
He also moved the team to a go ahead FG attempt at the 0:31 mark against MN, after having gotten a FG at the 6:00 mark to increase the lead to 6 points.

The Packers have managed to lose all of those games.

So, while he has failed in his last ditch efforts to get yet another score, he has not been totally ineffective in coming from behind in the 4th quarter to tie the game or get a lead. He has done it in 5 games, and has done it more than once in a couple.

If the defense had held, Rodgers could easily have a few 4th quarter comeback wins to his credit.

When I look at the games you have listed above, I can't say that I'm impressed at all. An offense that can't score any points in the last 10 minutes of the game isn't exactly what I'd consider stellar. And yet all people seem to do is gripe about the defense. There certainly is enough blame to go around on both sides of the ball.

Patler just listed 5 games where the offense scored tying or winning points in the last 10 minutes of the game only to have the defense give it right back...
