The Green Bay Packers are ....

[RashanGary]

He is basically missing 2-4 big plays he'd hit in other years.

His 5 interceptions in 32 games tells me he's missing in safe ways. He seems accurate on free plays.

If he was really hodge podge missing throws with no calculation involved, his interceptions would be up too.

[RashanGary]

Rodgers interception totals are no doubt the result of a very real and intentional effort. That cannot be done in the NFL without accute awareness and ball cobtrol.

Big plays are like hero orgasms for us. The guy doesn't fumble or throw interceptions. He gets angry but never scsred. He's always in cobtrol. RELAX

[RashanGary]

Manning's two worst years statistically were his SB years.

Engaging the OL as run blockers. Empowering a down hill, physical attack... Ball security, tempo, calmness under pressure, unselfish statistically, practice habbits, setting the example by playing winning football even if he's not getting the glory, but letting Jones and the OL have it....

AR is playing the best football of his career

[RashanGary]

I can't believe I'm saying this but Aaron Rodgers somehow became underrated by packer fans

Hard to throw more interceptions if you over throw sixteen passes on Sideline routes in Detroit...Aaron has been Afraid of the Middle of the Field the last few years.

Detroit dared him to throw it over the middle....

Hmmmmm... Hopefully he breaks tendency enough to win a championship this year

Which goes back to what I have said before.

Aaron Rodgers is playing scared. Whatever is wrong is between his ears. We need to stop asking if he can get still make the big throws cuz we see he can. The question is why has he become inconsistent and fearful at times?

A series of excellent observations about Aaron Rodgers, RG/JH.

The way I see it, he's doing what needs to be done, given improved but still just mediocre O Line play and receivers who very often don't get separation. It sure beats the hell out of throwing picks and losing games. Remember when idiots in here called him a "stat whore"? Well, this season he is sacrificing stats with throwaways as well as sacrificing a few TD passes by letting that other Aaron get the glory hahahaha. It's worked 13 out of 16 times. Is that true that his two worst years statistically were the two SB years?

Last week and other weeks, most of those missed long passes were throws where our guy had a slim chance, but the DB had no chance. As you said, I think that is by design - a helluva lot better than throwing a pick like so many QBs do way too many times (any is too many) and losing games.

16 passes went too far, not to the sideline. Unless you have a different report.

Lazard caught two slants, nearly a seam (a miss) and his TD. Graham had a post and a seam (drop and miss).

H's throwing to the middle of the field more this year than before. Still looks like he prefers outside.

Not sure its scared. He looked like his old self on bootlegs at least twice in the second half with hard throws to tight spots. I think mechanics and receiver connection are still issues.

But the other one was mentioned by Rodgers in a quote at his post game PC. He said some guys run routes correctly, right into the coverage. So maybe the missing piece is not the extended offense, but Rodger's second offense. The one that requires the WR to know what variation the QB wants depending on the coverage.

"Context and variables": in other words, I can make absolute statements and, when the fallacies are pointed out to me, I can fall back on the premise that it's all relative. Uh huh.

Lol youre illiterate. Critical thought has more than two sides.
You havent pointed out any fallacy. You are simply contradicting me.

[scharpcheddar]

14.9 million people watch the average NFL football game, yet “it’s all artificial drama.” Sorry, not buying ANY of it.

The average American is a idiot. There's 300 million people.
14 million is a drop in the bucket. Obviously most don't feel the need to live vicariously through jocks catching balls on tv.
People believe their vote counts and a god exists. Getting them to believe a sport is legit is small potatoes compared to that.

The book 1984 was not fiction :
-------------------------
Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer, and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult…. All that was required of them was a primitive patriotism which could be appealed to whenever it was necessary to make them accept longer working hours or shorter rations. And when they became discontented, as they sometimes did, their discontentment led nowhere, because being without general ideas, they could only focus it on petty specific grievances.

hmmm That kinda sounds like politics to me. Hey, newby, come over to FYI and get your ass kicked if you feel up to it.
