GB had a backup LT and two other 1st year starters. They looked good because of playcalling and QB play.
Nope, GB had a backup RT and no first year starters. They didn't even look that good. Rodgers made some incredible plays and is a crafty vet so he got us on the substitution play.
We've seen Brady play with a garbage OL at the end of 2015 and the Pats eventually couldn't overcome it and went 2-4 to end the year, losing out on the #1 seed. That's 15 year vet Brady with excellent OC Josh McDaniels. To expect Wilson to overcome it with this playcalling is absurd.
He did miss some throws, but even the deep throw to Lockett, he was getting clocked by Daniels just as he released the ball, didn't have his feet properly set. You say he was slow to scramble, but he contributed a huge chunk of our running production on the day. So yes, you can say Russ deserves blame, but not a huge portion of it.
