Fucking hell Green Bay.
Yet again do all the hard work and still fuck it up with some piss poor play calling on third downs. Ridiculous. Change needed I think, sick of the same old shit.
McCarthy is getting a lot of stick for this season, and to some extent deservedly so, but Aaron Rodgers is part of the problem as well. He's by no means beyond criticism. He's flat out missing guys, throwing some bad balls and holding on to the football (especially on 3rd down) when there's options built in many of those plays for easy completions. Even the fact that McCarthy didn't challenge the incompletion is partly down to Rodgers' frustrating tendency to run every play clock down to zero which leads to timeouts being wasted literally every game. You have to remember it's a duo with him and McCarthy. Rodgers has probably greater control over playcalling and changing the play at the line of scrimmage than any other QB in the league. He's certainly not playing like the most expensive QB in the game, injury or not.
It's even a bit comical that with Rodgers as QB Green Bay is actually more dangerous running the ball, but flat out refuse to do so, escpecially in the clutch.
Case study:
