TNF: 1-2 Eagles at 3-0 Packers

[TommyD4207]

When I have some time, I’ll do a detailed breakdown, but go to pro football-reference and check out Rodgers advanced stats (net yards/attempt and adj. net yards/attempt) from roughly 2010-14 and then 2015-present. The guy truly has not been a good quarterback for about five years, outside choosing sacks over any type of risky pass to preserve his inflated passer rating. I mean, the decline is absolutely stunning. I don’t even know if he’s a pro bowl level QB when you consider how low his actual production (correlating highly to points scored and wins) and look beyond that big, fat, fake QB rating that he manufactures. He takes so many negative plays and doesn’t make up for them as frequently anymore...despite all the fawning because of his “highlight reel plays” that only exist because he bails from the pocket every time and plays hero ball.

What, you mean another failed comeback attempt at home, down 8 or less?

Surely you jest.

Some solid playcalling inside the 5 too in the 4th quarter. I wonder if the coach called any runs.

OT
Their similarities are striking.
Both stand motionless and say virtually nothing while professional actors do the heavy lifting.

So I ask ......Better actor?

Thought that was definitely going to OT, oh well another notch in Rodgers comebackless career...

Funny that you'd mention the lack of comebacks by Rodgers. There was a pregame promo for one of the games I watched in which they showed a clip of Rodgers and the word "comebacks" at the same time. I almost puked.

Below is another of my favorite Rodgers' stats, fourth quarter comebacks. There are 60 QB's in NFL history with more and 12 of those are active players.

Mine too.

Matt Stafford has twice as many.

He trails Ryan Tannehill in 4th Q comebacks

I never bought that the Packers Defense was for real.

That stat is such an indictment on the “goat”. The media goat. Surprised someone hasn’t brung it up in the media. Even the interception king has twice as many.

I thought the Packers were going to win. Both teams need some D. I hope those 2 (!) players who left on stretchers on immobilizing backboards are ok.

I know it's wrong but I take pleasure from Aaron Rodgers grimacing and rolling his eyes skyward on the field (which he did a lot last night).

You would think they'd know from SB 49 not to throw at the goal line...

Packers should've easily won this game by two scores, but that's what happens with bad red zone play-calling and poor QB decision-making.

Tank you 1960Pats for pulling this up!

 

[Angelpats]

There was no comeback but did you see that beautiful throw rolling to his right, where he needled it between two defenders. Who cares about winning when you can throw like that.

Troy Aikman should have pointed out that he has more 4th quarter comebacks than Aaron Rodgers, but that of course might have caused Joe Buck to have a heart attack...

@SammyBlueCat I see you're not a Packers fan.

That is a friend of mine.

I have a distinctive blue fur coat and I wear a red Patriots jersey.

I know people are bagging on the play calling on that drive, but it's not the fault of the play calling when the receiver drops an easy pass, and it's not the fault of the play calling when the QB throws terrible passes on plays where receivers are open enough for TDs, if the throw is good..

Both true. That's why I'm curious if the coach called any runs in that sequence, and Rodgers just audibled out of it.

Aaron probably felt he needed more scramble drills.
