Aaron Rodgers appreciation

[Bossman641]

But the conversion doesn't hurt that eventuality. The Packers miss, lead is five. Steelers score and go for two, their lead is 3. Unless the difference in our potential FG is 4 seconds. As it was, that play almost won the game from a clock standpoint.

Conversion isn't timed. Also, the Steelers had over 2 minutes left. Again, I think it's more likely the Steelers would have scored a TD with enough time for us to get back into FG range than it was for them to miss an extra point. We miss the two point conversion and it's 34-30. A Steelers TD and extra point gives them a 3 point lead. It's only 2 if we kick the extra point.

How quickly were you expecting the Steelers to score? The kickoff occurred with like 2:06 left and they only had 1 TO. I think the 2 point attempt was the right call.

Fair point. My math was wrong. Miss the 2 pointer and its a four point lead. But I still think you are playing like the Steelers will have the last possession. They would need to hit it big to score against a D playing to milk the clock and not get beat deep.

You never know. With our special teams, the Steelers could have had a long kick return. Remember last year. The Panthers were down like 4 points to us and scored a TD in two plays. It's more likely that the Steelers would have scored in, say, a minute and a half than them missing an extra point IMHO. Jeff Reed has made 99% of his extra points in his career.

guy took some big shots early and hung in there

Including another helmet to helmet hit that went unflagged. I hope Rodgers mom is sending these tapes to the league if no one else is.

The two I saw were both on the opening drive. Were there any others I missed?

The Packers need to give one of those complaints back as Matthews did not get flagged on his helmet hit on Ben's facemask.

Is completion % overemphasized in QB ratings? Rodgers now has more TDs, the same amount of interceptions, and more yards/attempt than Bert. However, Bert's completion % is 3.4 higher than Rodgers. Bert has a 104.1 QB rating. Rodgers has a 102.8. Maybe not. I was just expecting Rodgers to be rated higher when I looked this morning--since he has Bert beat in 2 of 4 categories and he's tied in another. Technically, he's doing better in interception rate since those 7 interceptions have come in more attempts. Then again, perhaps Bert's TD rate is a smidge higher.

My view is that it always has been as well
Erin should have the better QB rating and is having a better year IMO

Wow, who would have thought that the Packers could have a replacement qb like that after Favre was gone ? The absolutely hardest position to fill in the NFL. A lot of Packer fans have no idea how fortunate this team is. Barring injury, the Pack is set for the next 10+ years at QB.

I wonder how many drops the Vikings receivers have compared to the Packers receivers ?

A few weeks ago, we led the NFL in drops. After yesterday, I'm assuming we still have the most drops.

guy took some big shots early and hung in there

plus, he had a big game, with a lot of drops

kid had a great game, all things considered

He took some DIRTY shots that should have received flags.

yup...how lucky can you get?!!

[Brandon494]

Best part about AR is he is only in his 2nd year starting, can you imagine in 4 years when he is 30 in his prime??? Or when he gets a better O-line to protect him??? Or when Finley becomes a top TE in the league with more experience???

Future is good in GB and the so called GB fans that still continue to root against ARod really need to get off Favre's dick.

I am very, very grateful for Aaron Rodgers.
