What is wrong with Aaron?

[PA Pack Fan]

Crosby hits a fieldgoal, and the refs dont call a phantom weird ass penalty, and we're 5 and 1 and this thread doesn't exist.

I didnt read this whole thread so sorry if im redundant, but I was at the game Sunday and you could see his timing seems off sometimes. Some plain ol' bad throws too. I do think the hits he's been taking have diminished some of the confidence we saw at times and hoped for. I think its tough for him to get on his line publicly or maybe at all. Its like pissing off your barber, could have the opposite effect. Bottom line, i think the hits are getting to him some. Not what we need to put out there either as bulletin board material.

MM takes the points instead of going for it in the 2nd quarter I put ahead of Crosbys miss.

He's lost his security blanket, doesn't seem to have confidence in the OL, isn't on the same page as M3 with the playcalling and clearly, he isn't having fun.

Maybe all the MVP talk and SB talk prior to the season has him under pressure and he is cracking as a result. But all that saw him last season know he's tough and is capable a far bigger things. Great thread, BTW.

There was a shot of him on the sideline yesterday and he put his head down and put a towel over his head. Definitely did not look like he was having any fun.

If I was getting slammed around and knocked in the head every week I wouldn't be having any fun either.

You guys expect way too much. The guy was #2 in passing yards out of the entire NFL this week!!! He can't be 100% every game, It just doesn't happen. All the greats have off days and he's allowed his too.

Look at how many stinkers Brent put up and when he did, boy were they foul!

[gbgary]

he's fine imo. his worst enemy is mm and his game plan. losing finley and no running game hasn't helped.

No running game.

Teams are not respecting our running game at all and they're focusing more on stoping the pass game. Simple as that.

True. The JSO said the Dolphins spent the game with two safeties deep and everyone underneath in man coverage. Waiting for receivers to break free, Rodgers would occasionally suffer from pressure or run into pressure.

Quite possibly, but would you really feel the team was a bunch of world beaters? Or are they the team that squeaks by the Lions?

This is how it has been going back to the Bear game. Until MM sticks with the run and forces teams to come out of their 2 deep coverage Rodgers will see the same thing everytime. And with no cover 2 buster in Finley it is that much more difficult to beat the coverage.

who says we can't run the ball? We are actully decent at it, we just don't do it. Just like I am very capable of having sex with hot chics....I just don't get my number called often enough.

Send some pictures! I heard it works wonders....

I'm thinking pictures would hinder my chances....unless I sent pictures of someone younger and better looking!

Or how about challenging the play where Jordy clearly puts the ball inside the pylon but is called out at the one. Then we don't fail miserably 4 times, but have 7 points instead.

But no, MM only challenges plays he is obviously going to lose.

Rodgers got slapped to the ground 50 times last season (and that is just the sacks, not counting QB pressures and hits)... he never, at any point during htat, appeared to have "lost his confidence".

In fact, while the OL play has been poor starting out here, it's actually been improved over how it started last year.

Rodger isn't a bad QB by any stretch of the imagination, but he may not be as good as he initially set the bar at. He still holds the ball too long, and no, it hasn't been corrected and it's been a consistent problem people have pointed out about him his entire career here. He isn't as decisive if his initial read isn't open - as in - he is slow in reading coverage, which leads to him holding the ball too long.

One thing I will say about Favre is outside of the fact Minnesota didn't throw the ball that much in their win, favre still completed a high percentage of balls while getting absolutely hammered, including some key 3rd down conversions, and he made one hell of a throw to moss in the endzone that should of been caught.

Not to bring up the age old comparison, but #4 is a prime example that lack of time in the pocket should not mean lack of ability to find an open reciever.

Rodgers isn't nearly under the gun as much as #4, and his numbers show that. However, he still seems to have a hard time getting the ball out of his hands quickly.

HE KNOWS his OL isn't going to give him more than 5 seconds max. He has 5 seconds to diagnose the defense and hit the open man. I just don't think he is reading the defense very well.

Whats wrong w/ AAron?


How bout no commitment to the run and spotty protection. No rushing = defense teeing off on the QB. It really puts the O-line on their heels to be pass protecting an entire game when the D knows you're not going to try and run the ball.

This makes everything less effective, most importantly the play action passing which is a huge part of this offense.

Commit to the damn run. at least it kills some clock and the defense isn't out there for so many minutes every damn game.

Total Plays 78 to 59

Guess which number we are? This is what happens when you can't run the ball. you wear the D down and then guys start getting hurt. More time = more risk.

Miami had the ball for almost 10 more minutes in a game that was decided by and OT FG.

Maybe it wold have been better to have a 12 play drive ending in a FG instead of a one play drive for a TD to Jennings. The number of plays doesn't matter much if you keep scoring.

The call was good. Jordy was OB, there is no question. At any rate, the video evidence wasn't sufficent to overturn the call on the field. It was a correct non-challenge.
