More Banjo - Packers vs. 49ers

[wthigoot]

OMG - but not Rogers fault of course. Just everyone and everything else's fault.

Not saying that. Listed Rodgers as a dud in the studs&duds thread: he lost patience on several plays, Other things mattered too. My guess is that WRs were not getting open quickly. A solid #2 with some quicks would have helped. If they keep mostly the same roster I really think they need another stud receiver. Then MVS, ESB, and Lazard have favorable matchups.

Dillon was drafted for a game like this, and it was working until he went out with the injury.

Rodgers became the first QB in NFL history to lose 4 playoff starts to the same team. It may be one of his NFL records that stands the test of time.

Hmm, Rodgers doesn't sound as despondent as he did last year, kinda sounds like he might be back tbh. Surprisingly upbeat.

Because he realizes that outside of special teams, he's high on the list of blame for the loss. Rodgers loves to be despondent when others, usually the defense, are to blame. If he's got skin in the game, he seems to be more willing to move on to the next week or season.

I'm really starting to question LaFleur's ability to get this team over the hump.

Great in the regular season, but three years in a row, now, disappointment in the playoffs.

Could just be mirroring Rodgers' playoff meltdowns, but IDK........

Not to beat a dead horse, but boy, the Packers really could have used another skill position difference maker on offense tonight instead of Jordan Love riding pine. I know, I know, I should shut up.

It is a little frustrating though. Dillon was showing up as a monster until he got hurt. Deguara looked meh as always but almost caught that big pass. Another top player could have helped some.

Management low-balled OBJ.

He's a big part of the blame IMO. I keep saying this but he reminds me of McCarthy. So why did we fire Mike if we are going to get the same thing? I think he gets out coached too much in very big meaningful post season games for me to label him a great coach. Outcoached twice by Shanahan and by Brady/Arians. Lafluer and Rodgers are one in the same. I'm curious to see how he does post Rodgers. I wonder who gets fired first between Shanahan, Lafluer and McVay.

During the game i saw lizard open a few times but he was targeted twice all game. He is starting to get the route running down.
Rodgers was high and low or short all game. Heck his big shot to jones was short and outside. Easy td he missed on.
Dillon getting injured fucked us, and then not even trying Patrick? Maddening. Jones needs breaks to be effective.
Our d was great. No concerns there this game.
Oline played better than i expected,

I keep coming back to rodgers focus g on adams so much. When he has to play without him we do better. Adams is by far our best receiver, by far, but rodgers targets his saftey blanket too much.
That dafney drop, ouch, but he had seperation. Go back to him because the underneath stuff to adams and jones was killing us.

This reportedly is Lazard on the late deep heave to Adams in double coverage.

[King Friday]

Rodgers refused to go through progressions. Jones was open a play or two before that where he moved to the middle of the field, but Rodgers was only looking at Adams. MLF needs to have a very difficult talk with Rodgers after this game. It wasn't that guys weren't getting open. I saw numerous open receivers during the game that Rodgers didn't even bother to look at just from watching TV. I'm guessing the results are even more damning on the full field look.

14 of 32 make the playoffs or 44%
8 of 32 make the divisional round or 25%
4 of 32 make the conf champ or 12.5%
2 of 32 make the SB or 6.25%
1 or 32 wins or 3.125%

The odds of making it are good but the odds of advancing are slim.

yes, it was shocking how he was locking on

i think one pass to cobb, one to lazzard and thats it for wr's

this has been a trend of his in the past in big games

ESPN’s ingenious mathematicians said Pack had a 65% chance of winning last night’s clusterfuck.

True, but those odds change as many times as we have made the playoffs, and still failed..

If the pass was Rodgers' last as a Packer, it may be as infamous as Favre's last.

His final throw, a deep heave to Davante Adams into double coverage on 3rd-and-11, fell harmlessly incomplete with Allen Lazard streaking wide open underneath. Rodgers bemoaned missing the open receiver after the contest. It could have changed the game.

“If I hit Allen on that deep in on the last drive, that gets us to midfield, and then we’re a couple first downs away from field goal range. Definitely disappointed in some of the decisions I had tonight. I definitely take my fair share of blame tonight,” Rodgers said.

It was a stunning miss. The 49ers had bracketed coverage on Adams and didn’t hide it pre-snap. The Packers had the ideal play called to attack the coverage on the other side, but Rodgers – for whatever reason – either pre-determined his throw to Adams or completely misread the coverage, both pre-snap and post-snap. The result was another punt, and the 49ers took advantage.
