Best way to counter a very good offense, pound the crap out of the rock and keep them on the sidelines.

And yes Russ missed some easy throws early. That’s on him. They need to play call like they do in the 4th quarter.
This lets “feel them out for a half or 3 quarters” $h!t isn’t going to win you games against better team in the playoffs.

Stating it as fact as people do on here just leads to the pissing matches about the offense.jamescasey1124":3be7qdxe said:In Rodgers defense...it helps when you can have major input into the offensive scheming and actual plays on the field. He is allowed to play to his potential...russ was his first five games this year and then got handcuffed.

not stagnate play, stagnate play calling
Great post Todd..Aros":3v1h7hii said:I want so badly to agree with all of your points. Unfortunately I just can't. I am one of the biggest Russ fans I know. True story. However, what I saw today was the same troubling Russ I saw the middle of the season. I am so happy for that 4th quarter comeback of course. But let's be honest. Russell Wilson is anything but consistent. This is why the MVP was taken from him by November. Ask yourself, why doesn't Rodgers have a problem with being inconsistent?
I love Russ like no other but I refuse to be a Fan Boy for the sake of being a Fan Boy. (Not saying you are in the least, just a general open statement). I've seen all the glory this year like we all have, and I have seen the warts. I thought today's game was a classic example of why Russell isn't MVP. He doesn't bring that level of play throughout the game. Only in spurts. Thankfully it occurred in the 4th quarter. I am blissful for the victory but still annoyed that he can't seem to play up to his potential for 4 straight quarters.
Yes, I get there's more to it than just him. The OL needs to do their job and protect. The opposing defenses are professionals, often taking his reads away with great coverage resulting in poor passes or sacks.
But watch Aaron Rodgers. Why isn't he having the same struggles? Why is he consistently MVP nearly every game?
It's an honest question I would like the answer to. Because I am tired of Russ being MVP when the weather is fair. I want MVP Russ when the leaves have fallen and the temps are chilly. Give me THAT Russ.
