MLF took the ball out of Rodgers' hands when Rodgers could have cemented his legacy. When it came down to it the "all fucking gas, no brake" guy turned into a chicken shit. Kick a FG down 8? Maybe down 6. If you were going to be aggressive going for 2 earlier, you should be consistent and stay aggressive.
If I'm Rodgers I am absolutely livid. Beyond livid.
This kind of feels like the Bucks losing to Toronto a couple of years back.
Choke at Seattle: six points off five turnovers.
Tonight: six points off three turnovers.
Two different teams with different coaches and the same result: not good enough with a trip to the SB on the line.

He grabbed it with one hand and literally switched hands and kept grabbing. Correct call.
Rodgers deserved better than this. That FG? Pffft

And both head coaches chickened out at various times.
I would guess that although Mr Rodgers says he has. a good relationship with the brass, he has to be at the least frustrated at the field goal at the end AND the drafting of Love.
I follow a guy in the media from D.C., he is a buddy of AR, golfs regularly with him, he intimates that the Love draft does bother him.
I'm guessing that things may change in GB sooner that we think
Tampa's OL held our pass rush in check and our OL really struggled. Throw in the poor play by King and Sullivan, and the outcome isn't all that surprising. Have to wonder how this game would have played out if Bakhtiari isn't injured. Such a bummer.
How many times have I read the word 'Snacks' on this forum.
Did he play?
Even though they were letting them play, King's PI was so blatant they had to call it.

MLF may have set in motion the dominoes that will end his career in GB tonight. He's been great overall, but you just don't take the ball out of your best players hands on 4th and 8 to kick a FG when you still have to score a TD to win even with the FG.
The hangover from something like this lasts a long time. MM got to another title game after the Seattle game, but it was never the same.

Previous mistake of going for two really caused that one.
@Grave Digger posted:Donât be a **** Tschmack.
When hasn't he been Tschmuck? 
And TJW doesn't play CB.
It comes down to whether the FO thinks Love is a guy they can compete for a SB with. If they do, they get SF's 2021 draft and surround him with the talent to get it done. And AR gets another shot at SBs in his home town.
If they're not that confident in Love, they screwed up the pick and have to run AR into the ground.
Mayo chased the points when he didn't need to then he kicked a fucking FG with the Superbowl on the line.
That's the story.

The Packers offense put up 26 (should have been 27 points) with no short drives.
Sure, Redmond, King, Aaron Jones, and Savage all had terrible plays, but this game was lost based on several coaching decisions and by the front office before the season.
They have better players than we do. We couldn't win one-on-ones in pass rush and they could. We even won TO battle (although their TOs were more like punts and ours were turned into 14 pts.). Game was lost in last two minutes of first half. Clock management was awful & contributed to the TO, then the WTF play on their TD.

By the rules, of course. Based on the way they were calling it all game, no way.
Pack need a stouter defense and some receivers that like their title designation CAN CATCH THE FREAKIN BALL MLF decision making-POOR should have gone for TD on 4th and goal.--Pack blew their load last week. The team was in now way prepared for this game.
Gonna be the same every year go cheap on the draft have Rodgers carry the team and just not make it to the superbowl. Damn this aint the real packers but a bunch of managers just trying to bring folks in for the TITLETOWN experience bull shit just to generate income.
No more Sunday ticket for me, why follow a corporate money generator that has no intention of winning a superbowl.
Defense stepped up in second half aside from the final drive. Rodgers has to deliver, Adams has to deliver. To many missed opportunities. Lots of âthey should haves...â to throw around, comes down to shitting their pants in 1on1âs.
Oh and fuck these refs with their âlet them playâ attitude when Tampa is playing defense. That call was inconsistent with how they had called the game and ultimately decided the game. Thatâs unacceptable for refs to be that inconsistent, especially in a key moment.
Besides the head scratcher to go for fg instead of td, there were a number of plays, that if made, make the outcome different. King's poor coverage right before half, Jones's fumble, Redmond's missed int, Rodgers passing on chance to run it in on last series. Seems like this team always has huge brain farts in the biggest games. Not mentally tough.
I'm seriously just fucking gobsmacked. I can't find a single fucking reason why you would kick a FG in that situation.
Everybody did a fair share of fucking up but that is just beyond me. Mayo and stone hands lost that game.
I agree that MLF is developing a bad habit of chasing pts. when he doesn't need to.

Yup.
That and 3 TO's 6pts. O shit the bed on those 2 late in the game

I wouldn't blame Rodgers one bit if he walked out of Lambeau today and never returned giving them the finger saying good luck with your draft pick. I'd prefer he expose the franchise for what it is without him.
his feel for the game calling is not there for sure. happened quite a bit all year, the analytic crap over the 'feel' for the game - he's bush league with that. sf beat the brakes off him (playcalling wise) and this year, same crap. go for 2? wtf is that? redzone was 2 down territory, score or you don't belong there, leave the ball in the best player's hands...you can't teach that feel, you just have to have it, i hope, i mean hope, he learns from this shitty playcalling/time management and gets it figured out asap

Because Rodgers had shit his pants on three throws in a row and surprisingly the defense is the one that kept us in the game? Lean on whatâs working.

C YA.
The story is TB got 14 easy points without having to work for it. That left GB to chase the rest of the way.
The bomb before halftime and Jones fumble and one play TD after half. Both plays where the defense basically quit.
The fact that GB even made it a ballgame is a testament to Rodgers yet all we will hear is how clutch Brady is and how Rodgers canât win the big games.
I could go on and on about the refs and the 2pt conversion and the FG attempt but if the Bucs donât get those 2 TDs they donât win.
Question .... having Bak & a healthy Bulaga win this game ?
I'm actually not that worked up by the FG. Packers really struggled inside the 10 today, only converting 1 TD in like 10+ plays (including the 2 pt conversion). And even if you convert a 4th and 8 AND get the 2 pt conversion, Brady gets the ball with 2+ minutes to get in range for a FG to win, so our defense has to stop Brady either way. And if the defense stops, there's still OT. So even if they converted, a lot still had to happen to get the win. A FG and a defensive stop actually would have given the Packers a more direct route to the victory. It's just not as obvious.
He'll get ripped for it but I'm indifferent on the call. A lot more happened today that lead to a loss than that call.
EDIT: They actually scored two TDs - i thought Tonyan's was outside the 10. Nevertheless, just didn't seem like thy played well inside the 10 today.
Refs don't pull a flag all game except when they can determine the outcome. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Rodgers made several mistakes that could have kept it out of the nfls hands. Why force it to Adam's on 3 consecutive plays in a goal to go situation. Lazard was wide open on 3rd down.
He should have ran it on the last drive where they kicked the questionable field goal.
this was the year guys, this was it. this team will not be the same for some time. that maybe is a good thing, they need help...12 leaving, i get it, and the fo better be careful that they may get what they want. this tb team punched us again, and we couldn't figure it out. 3 to's from the d and we lost. this one could be the dagger on the whole f'ing thing for this era...
AR12 should have run for the TD on 3rd down...he would have made it. Never should have come to a decision to kick the FG (which was dumb).
Alexander was lights out. Clark was real good. If this game was the late game we might could have won.
@DH13 posted:And yet still, without the real choke plays, we should have won.
No doubt. So many crap plays and still a one possession game.
Gotta make the plays when they present themselves. If Rodgers, Davante, Aaron Jones, Redmond, Savage, King, Wagner, etc....make one more play it might be a different outcome.

Rodgers was 0-6 in goal to go situations. Did you really want to see him 0-7?? I'm ok with the field goal. Even if you get a TD you still need the 2 just to tie. Take the points, if you hold Tampa then a TD wins it.
@Koopla Krash posted:AR12 should have run for the TD on 3rd down...he would have made it. Never should have come to a decision to kick the FG (which was dumb).
I don't think he makes it. He's 12 yards away and once he crosses the 8 TB has 3 guys that only have to run from near the goal line to stop him.
