What infuriates me most about watching Rodgers is that he clearly doesn't have any sort of physical decline as evidenced by him constantly throwing lasers 10 yards past his WR's down the field. The arm is still there....the touch is not and shoddy mechanics obviously play a role in that. He also needs to trust the damn offense more. We see it work best when he's playing within structure and then it goes off the rails when he tries to revert back to his scramble drill crap

It is definitely frustrating to watch one of the most accurate QB's I have ever seen, be so inaccurate over and over again this year. Something seems broken mentally and he folds under any kind of pressure up the middle. 

We saw the offense work well last week when it played within its structure. Rodgers was making throws in rhythm to receivers coming out of their breaks in the middle of the field. Not sure if the Lions made adjustments or if they were getting more pressure than the Vikings did but we didn't really see any of that this week.

Meh. Still 50 minutes of sh**ty football. Won't get it done.

We just won a huge game in MN and had to go on the road to another divisional rival on a short week.  They found a way to get it done and that is ALL that matters in the end.

Receivers are what they are...and are the ones most easily replaced since they aren't making a boatload of money like the QB is. That said, not like they didn't have guys open down field. It's on their big money QB to hit guys when they're open. He was absolutely awful on anything beyond 15+ yards. Never even gave his guys chances with how badly he was overthrowing players. Aaron Jones is lucky he wasn't injured with how much Rodgers left him out to dry with his throws today

Rodgers wasn't very accurate but if Graham catches that first throw and we score on that first drive this game would've/could've been very different and not the nail biter that it was.

We need to revert to dink-dunk offense or we are going nowhere.  Rodgers can not connect long bombs anymore 

Yes, the offense didn't start clicking until we began to use the short game.  We were fools to abandon it late in the 4th quarter too.  I was yelling at AR/MLF to stop with the long throws there.
