It's amazing they made it a game after the Jones disaster. That was vintage 70s-80s Packer football, along with a good handful of other plays. Every tough spot that we argue back and forth, Green Bay put themselves in those spots. If you're catching a dump pass and you don't know there's a good chance of taking a big hit, you get what you get. If it happened once in the first half, and you let it happen again, you probably shouldn't be on the field. If you choose to not grab a lollipop throw from the greatest ever, you just gave the greatest ever another chance. If you decide to play against a fg with less than 10 sec on the clock, and decide to go single high, you just gave the greatest ever *another* chance.
I'm not ecstatic about the way AR played, but he didn't shit the bed like some of his teammates and coaches. The difference last night was once again, Brady barely dirtied his jersey and once again his teammates picked up slack, and our guy had to deal with JPP and Suh and the whole front 7 just to barely get a clean look downfield. Whether it was due to one single draft pick or unfortunate circumstance like losing Bakh and fielding KK with a bad back, Plenty of blame, and no one should be spared criticism. Had they won, it would be a team win. And so it is when they lose. Gute, MLF, Pettine, AR, Jonesy, Turner, King, etc all played a part in 14 wins and in a gutting loss.
