It does, in that a running play also requires good performances by others on the team. So Rodgers really did do his part, at least on that throw to Adams, which would have iced the game and was a perfectly placed ball.

But I do agree with you overall. MLF runs way more than MM ever did, as far as I can tell, and this helps Rodgers a great deal. And turning Rodgers loose and abandoning the running game - that weird late-game play-calling - is not a guarantee of success, as Tex seems to think.

But Tex thinks you can throw any five Packerrats out on the offensive line and Rodgers will still kill it. Not get killed.

See my post above this one. I don't claim that its not always a team effort, I am refuting Tex, who claims Rodgers and 10 rats could win a game. I am also refuting everyone who thinks our defense sucked despite holding a decent team to 22 points and stopping them with game on the line when the offense couldn't put them away.

I see my name being taken in vain again hahahahaha. I will take this opportunity to double down on my belief that even without the injuries, our O Line has been mediocre over the years, made to seem way better stat-wise because of Rodgers. You do need to have somebody decent on the receiving end of those throws, and the Packers do. The only players I can think of off the top of my head who could possibly thrive even with "10 rats" i.e. nothing off on offense would be Lamar Jackson and Barry Sanders in his prime, maybe Jim Brown, Earl Campbell, and Gale Sayers too.

Our D definitely did suck, especially against the run. They got bailed out, though by Baker Mayfield.
