Comments on: The One Thing the Packers Have Going For Them

Indy’s playing the same teams as the Packers: Bears, Vikings, Tennessee, Jacksonville, Houston–we haven’t played the Lions yet, but we will. And only once, unlike Tennessee. Tampa Bay, Atlanta, and Carolina aren’t any “harder” than New England, Pittsburgh, or Baltimore–all playoff contenders at this point.

…and the Packers beat the Colts, so I’m not sure what you’re complaining about there.

I guess if you ignore the turnovers and the inability to fall on the ball on the bad snap, Aaron Rodgers did just enough to win the game. I didn’t watch the game, so, how did it all work out? You can’t evaluate his contribution to the game without outlining the good and the bad (unless you have a man-crush on A-Rodg and his manly beard).

You also can partially blame AR for Mike McCarthy’s call on the goal line. If he had full faith and confidence in A-Rodg’s ability to score with the ball in his hand, wouldn’t he have called his number? I mean, it isn’t like he was forced to have 12 as his quarterback, this was the guy he wanted to guide the offense instead of a crappy old Hall of Famer who took the same bunch of players to overtime of the NFC Championship last season.

Using your evaluation technique, the Packers won the game and it was sunny and bright on Sunday (as long as you ignore the score and the weather).

Just a phenomenal post. I think you hit the nail on the head here. TT does deserve criticism for not improving the quality of the team in both trenches, but Aaron Rodgers is going to be a great player in GB for a long time.

Wow are you delusional, it must be nice to continue to argue stats with a team that is 5-7. Oh the schedule is tough, oh everyone else is no good(even though TT and McCarthy built the talent around it for ARod). Its about winning and losing not about qb stats.

Arod played great till the end when he became a gunslinger and threw an awful pick, awful. Arod played great but setteled for field goals because he didnt want to make a mistake. (did that in Minnesota as well, so you can put it on the kicker)
They play to win the game, but if you are happy with stats and losing seasons you should be in great shape over the next 5 years.

It’s nice to be me. I hate the Packers regardless of who is playing.

It’s not so much that I hate the team, per se, but rather the fat, fried cheese eating morons who pray at their altar.

Their unhappiness is pure gold, and right now, I’m living in Fort Freakin’ Knox.
