Mice And Men

[sharpe1027]

Rodgers did play like a rookie. His awareness was so bad, he made Weeden look like Tom Brady. I mean, just fucking slide and force the 49ers to use their last timeout! (Harbaugh probably would've let the clock run down, given his ultra conservative nature with Alex Smith.) The pick was inexcusable. Rodgers had the best passer rating against the blitz last season; Sunday, he had that deer in the headlights look - just like a rookie.

I guess you could say he played like a rookie, if you are comparing him to RGIII this year or Cam Newton last year. IMO, you are overstating how "bad" his play was by a wide margin, but hey, you're getting a good reaction from people if that was your expectation/goal.

Don't feed the trolls! LOL.

Way to double down on stupid. Look at Weeden's stats above.

Is Paco back?

It's figure of speech.

For the reigning NFL MVP, Rodgers sure look like a rookie. He didn't do much all day. His stats were inflated by the 49ers playing prevent defense in the 4th qtr. He made a boneheaded decision before halftime. He made a boneheaded decision in the 4th quarter. He sure as fuck didn't play like the MVP of yesteryear.

Btw, who the fuck is Paco?

A poster from years prior that was banned that your post resembles very closely!

[Freak Out]

No...Paco was a troll extreme...and if I remember correctly a Favre pot stirrer extraordinaire. The Niner Defense played a pretty dominating game yesterday, the DBs were all over the receivers and Rodgers wasn't perfect by any stretch. He cannot carry this team EVERY GAME and the D has to step up on occasion....it's doubtful this defense ever will.

I stopped reading after this. You're just being inane. Watch some tape:

Vick and Weeden played like rookies.

Your analysis is totally off. Alex Smith is only a part of his offense. How many rushing yards did SF have versus GB. The entire offense runs through Rodgers. And you realize SF has a better defense than GB, right? That's all my time you get.

I guess its only fair that since Favre could do no wrong, Rodgers, too, can do no wrong.

Rodgers as a dud? I'd put the WR's as duds before I would put Rodgers as a dud. It was startling how, with the exception of Jones' long catch and run, the WR were able to get almost nothing after the catch.

And Jordy was open on the 3rd and 1? Ha, he was double covered. I'd give Rodgers a negative on that play for the decision, not the throw.

[LEWCWA]

It was fair by his standards. Do you think he 'played like a rookie?'

no not like a rookie, but not good.....and not good means just that. He wasn't good yesterday. Not by his standerds? Not by any standards in my book.......They want to run Romo outta Dallas for games like that.....

yeah he was open, just because 2 guys were trailing him doesn't mean shit. He had both guys beat.

[Brandon494]

And there goes your credibility - right out the window

LMAO I stop reading after that as well

Just had to step in here about the 3rd and 1 play in the first series of the 3rd quarter.

Jordy Nelson was open - the CB and Safety were trailing behind. He had a step on both of them. However, given the circumstances of the game, IMO, you don't throw that ball on 3rd and 1. The Packers offense had done nothing since the TD drive...Nothing. The Packer Defense was regressing back to their old self after the first defensive series. Too many things were going wrong. At that point in time, the PAckers needed to sustain a drive and keep the 49ers Offense off the field. If they could have walked away with some points - great, but at least get it past their own 40 just so the 49ers don't have good field position.

I get why Rogers threw it - he wanted to make a play and get this game closer. But you have to realize that in situations like the one they were in yesterday, the odds are not in your favor. Tuck the ball and get the 1st down or hit Kuhn for a small gain. Move the chains.

to me cobb and mathews are the only two that really looked like they showed up to play yesterday

[Pugger]

I understand everyone's angst about that long throw to Jordy on 3rd and short. However, if it is successful everyone is thrilled. We are looking at it with 20/20 hindsight.

[Freak Out]

Yep....they've done it before. That is what this Packer team is....throw it long on 3rd and short.

What I don't get are the 1st down runs to Benson.

[SavedByGrace]

Ok, I have to wonder...why in the heck did we draft Nick Perry? Is Dom trying to turn him into a CB because Perry spent a TON of time in coverage. Alex flippin' Smith had time to sit there and pick us apart. We had no pressure on the guy...except when Clay managed to bust through.
