Making stuff up now? Nice try. Looking back on the numbers on his supposed "stacked" teams. Only twice in his career has he had a top 8 D in points or yards. (top quarter on the league) One year they won the Super Bowl, the other year they lost 45-51!! That 15-1 team you referenced in another post had the 32 ranked D. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
You think the 15-1 team he played on was the worst defensive team in the league?
Yeah, as @Dr.Love would say: you're retarded
I think we can agree , at least I can , neither of us got prepped on the game plan, in game adjustments , missed assignments etc. Pretty much all we can speculate on is what we are told or what we can see watching the game..
Sounds as if the Packers had a good game plan to start, scored a td , things looked good.
49ers then make the proper adjustments, like most coaching staffs do.. It's possible offense also stalled when the Packers staff, didn't make the right ones. When 2nd half started , weather deteriated also , field was getting slick, as was mentioned on the broadcast. Pretty much went to a field position ball control defensive minded game. Believe the Packers were good with that going against Jimmy with a good defense game plan also especially with time running out.
Makes helluva alot more sense then throw into blanket coverage , with the lead late, on a slippery field where your skilled players weren't getting open. BTW , that so called stacked team was missing a starting WR, Dillon gets hurt , and LT didn't play again. Rodgers wasn't protecting his interception stats lol, and he sure at that time of the game wasn't going Tannehill and give the game away..
Like I pointed out before , game situations dictate how games get played out.. sorry about getting in the way of your latest Rodgers narrative.. going to have to keep checking you on this.
maybe take a breather and enjoy the fact your team is fortunately still playing
Sure, neither of us prepped the game plan. And things did look good on that first drive....makes you wonder why things changed
The Niners made some adjustments -- I buy that. But no adjustment could be made to alter the fact that their secondary personnel absolutely sucks. One of the worst in the league. I said going in that the one huge advantage that Green Bay has is their wide outs vs. SF's secondary (even with one out). I sided with SF in this game, but I thought the Pack would cover if Rodgers exploited that inevitable weakness; he didn't do that. The field was slick and it was cold, but Rodgers has plenty of experience playing in those conditions and he has been able to muster up a lot more offense than that. The weather is not an excuse, and if anything should've benefitted the home team. Remember - it was miserably cold against the Vikings earlier in January; he had no trouble that night.
You can say that it doesn't make sense to throw into blanket coverage; problem with that is there wasn't blanket coverage. If you watch the tape, receivers not named Devonte Adams or Aaron Jones were open quite often. One example: that last heave when the game was tied 10-10, Rodgers missed a WIDE OPEN receiver down the middle of the field. Aaron missed a golden opportunity. He only targeted receivers outside of Jones/Adams 6 times, and only got 2 completions for a combined 6 yards; that's not a typo -- 6 fucking yards.
When you start comparing an all-time great regular season like Rodgers to median-at-best level quarterback like Tannehill, you've pretty much lost the argument. If you look at my posts before the weekend, I - like many - knew there was a good chance Tannehill would play like that; he plays like that pretty often, because's Ryan fucking Tannehill. Rodgers is held to a different standard, and should be given his regular season productions. I guess maybe he's so ordinary and disappointing in the playoffs at this point, that maybe he should be compared to average quarterbacks in the playoffs.
There is no latest narrative on Rodgers. The game that we saw on Saturday is very typical of Playoff Aaron Rodgers - a quarterback that is very disappointing and doesn't live up to the regular season version. His performance was disappointing, but that's something we've observed for more than a decade now from him. We basically expect it -- that's why I said the Niners would win this game.
On a lighter note, I'm thrilled the Bengals are still in it. I'll be at Arrowhead on Sunday -- never even been to KC, and have always wanted to check out that stadium. I'm looking forward to it, regardless or result
First off , props to you to get that opportunity to see that game in person. Pretty awesome. Tough ticket to get ?
The only comparison I'm trying to make with Tannehill , is no one should be throwing into that kind of coverage late in the game with your team having the advantage. I can't think of to many QBs would force it.. Rodgers included.
I really don't care how the 49ers secondary is rated. Means nothing over a whole season comparing it to what could happen on a given day. They rose to the occasion with a good game plan. The other wide receivers have to get separation to get the ball thrown to them. Period. That's their job. They didn't do that. Pretty much why they weren't targeted.. btw , coaches do disguise weaknesses all the time. Also easier to do when weather sucks.
You're just speculating like I am. We both watched the same game , just saw it differently , and interpreted it differently.
I had the 49ers teased to 11 1/2. Wasn't rooting for it. Teased the dogs last weekend and Tampa to 3 1/2..Right strategy for me.
Yeah, they talked that on the telecast. Severe season ending fuckup.
Weird people just can't say Rodgers didn't play well. Team scored 13pts (giving him Crosby missed FG) at home. Basically didn't do shit after the 1st drive. 9ers are stiff comp but its the playoffs, that's who you play at this juncture.
He should've never come out as so vocally anti-vax probably, now all the anti-Brady nerds and virgins don't even like him anymore. Twitter was practically declaring it a holiday when he had another playoff failure.

So would your theory be , that Rodgers deliberately didn't throw to Lazard ? You realize that you can disect every game ever played and find a WR open that a QB missed getting the ball to him , or couldn't get it to him. It happens.
Rodgers is obviously in your head. Next we'll hear , he thru the game..
The Niners DC was trying to limit Adams with bracketing while playing single high coverage and did a good job with it - though Adams is a beast and the Niners DB's are pretty bad so he still had a good stat line
Downside of that defensive strategy is there were other Packers receivers open all game. Unfortunately Rodgers couldn't take advantage
Nothing deliberate about it...he just fucked up and didn't play well.

I guess you could come up with that conclusion. He fucked up.. lol. So he fucked up by not throwing to a wide open WR ? If yes why ? Not trying to win ? Had a problem with Lazard ? It does happen. QBs fail to see the WR open from time to time. Alot of possibilities on why that happens. Part of the game . It happens more often then you think.
