    I don't, anymore than you know he did. BUT, on first down, with a few yards ahead of him even at a slow trot, he elected to throw a pass into Lacy's back. That was very atypical Rodgers. On second down, according to some (haven't checked myself) he had another large running lane, but threw to a covered rookie instead. Again, atypical for Rodgers. So, I chose to surmise based on appearance, for the purpose of discussion on a fan site.

    If you limit us to what we know for sure, none of us, including you, will have much to write on here.

There is no longer reason to be "smart" with it, as MM and his players are prone to say.
      If throwing caution to the wind drops you to the ground (see Lions game), it has gained you nothing.
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        Here we go again. Thanks for the lecture, Dad, I didn't know that.

        Both those moves are completely consistent with Rodgers being unable to run. On the game tying drive it was clear to me that he was laboring mightily to run. Both the toss to Lacy (not to his back) and to Rodgers (not on the same page, don't know who missed the check) made sense
        to me. Either way, he wasn't playing for the FG, that much I feel certain about, and I think he was trying to make the best plays he could, knowing his running was extremely limited. The Lacy toss was unfortunate, because I think Lacy was turning and blocking expecting Rodgers to run, which happened enough before the injury that Lacy was probably reacting naturally.

        Rodgers delivered just fine, especially based on the effect of the injury on formations, throwing, and running. Had he been totally healthy and played like he did, I would have been disappointed.

              Yet KY was allowed to obsessively, neurotically harass Tank in the football forum. Not only allowed, but you praised KY as upstanding citizen.

              Tank - you claim it was your wish that he be allowed to stay.

              I don't care a dick smoke about Tank. Caving to intolerance curls my toes - and not in a happy way.

                    Edited for rules (non-football information has been moved to an appropriate forum):

                    Upon further review, Bob McGinn is a cock. He is trollish

                    "Today's NFL is set up as a quarterback's game. He has the ball in his hands on every play. No one can affect the scoreboard like him."
                    - Well, Bob, not actually. The Center has his hand on every offensive play. Interestingly, the Packers lost because Rodgers was NOT on the field for any of the defensive snaps, or the ST play where Bostick couldn't recover.
                    Bob doesn't like the blame game, except when he gets to assign blame.
                    Bob, except for his scouting report and post-game rating (and even sometimes in those) has turned into a poking internet troll. Fortunately, unlike in other cases I can mostly ignore him.

                        Let it go, Rand. Madtown barely speaks English, you can't expect him to be expert at refereeing squabbles.

                        I still love you, Madtown, but your mother and I are very dissappointed in your behavior

                            Yes, here we go again. You start it with a snide question to me about what I "know", and when I respond directly to your condescending question you act as if you are the offended one. (Yawn.)

                            Laboring to run, yes, but on the previous play he was still able to run from the left hash mark to the right sideline, while picking up 12 yards up field and a first down. On the first down play to Lacy, he had already run from the pocket at the 44 to near the numbers at about the 40. I'm not questioning if he could have run for a touchdown, just if he could have turned up field from there, picked up a few yards, and slid or gotten out of bounds again. Just something positive on the play, at least.

                            I agree with your take on Lacy in the play on first down. It still hurts watching that again (which I just did). Complete the pass to Lacy, and he picks up positive yardage, maybe even a first down as he was running away from would be tacklers, and who knows how much after that? Once he gets rolling in the open field it often takes a bunch of tacklers over a significant distance to get him down. Alternatively, a healthy Rodgers runs a long way on that play.

                            As for 2nd down, where ever I read that AR had running room, was wrong, under the circumstances. A healthy Rodgers, maybe; but he was surrounded in a small pocket. If he could have gotten out, there was room, but only a healthy AR and a few other QBs could get out of that tight pocket. What he did miss was a wide open receiver on the left. Two lined up wide and crossed. Both DBs went with the one lined up inside when he went out. The outside receiver came in, with no one on him. Could have had a few easy yards anyway.

                            Just a few yards on first and/or second down, and third down becomes more makable for a 1st down. Did AR get as much out of those two plays as he could have? I don't know, but if the qustion is, "Did he deliver?" its easy to come to a conclusion of "No."

                            Third down - the entire right side of the field looked like it opened up, particularly if the receivers on that side were going deep. AR got out of the pocket and had no one visible on the screen in front of him. Could/should he have ran, in spite of his calf? I don't know, but it is something to discuss. Did he deliver?

                            As I said, I don't know the answers at all to these questions, but there was great fame and recognition right there to be had. AR didn't get it, that's a fact. Whether or not he could/should have is anyones guess.

                              Probably good advice. Last post....?
