Last 8 games. 22 TDs. 0 INTs. Average QB rating of 121.0. 69% completion percentage. Anyone remember the last pass that could have been picked off? And these are games being played starting in late November. In bad weather. Only one of those games was indoors.
I get wondering why Aaron ramps up the difficulty level when maybe he doesn't have to. But I've personally never seen a QB play the position like Aaron has the last two months. Including 2011 Aaron. To me he looks like a QB that's completely in control. Like he's constantly a step ahead of the defense. Even with rough starts against Detroit and NY. Once he figured things out it was over.

That's what I saw. It looked like he really wanted to go to whoever was split out right, maybe best matchup. But it never materialized so finally looked left.

I don't doubt what you say. Just wish we had video evidence.
Just last week, Adams 2 pt catch. Bang. Bang. 2 points!
TD was a zero blitz. AR recognized it. Fade to Adams. Perfectly diagnosed.
2pt. Geronimo rub. Designed for Adams. Great call and execution.
In both instances Adams was the first read. First TD to Adams against NY he wasn't the first option. Does Aaron still hold the ball longer than maybe he should? Probably. But whatever. We may never see a QB play better than he has the last two months.
As long as he doesn't hold it to take a sack, who cares?
This is me bringing wild assed speculation. But I think Aaron is ok taking a sack right now. I think he is seeing defenses so well right now he feels he can hold it and look defenses away from where he wants to go with the ball. His confidence level has to be off the charts right now
Now. Having said that. This probably isn't the week to test that thinking. Dallas plays a pure deep cover 2 zone. They will be hell bent about not letting anyone get over the top. And I wouldn't expect either safety to stray away from the deep outside. Dallas defense is set up for Cook to absolutely kill it in the seam. Other than that Aaron does need to take what's given. Short. Intermediate crossing stuff. Slants. The poker game is does Aaron lose patience wanting bigger plays or does Dallas blink first and start moving the secondary up?
IMO. This game is decided on the defense containing Zeke and GB offense scoring seven in red zone opportunities and not FGs.
How do you beat/break a pure deep cover 2 zone?
I'd feed Christine Michael.
Have to watch the MLB in the Tampa 2 though. That's the unique part of that D, that zone is normally vacated, but in the Tampa 2 he is dropping to guard that intermediate zone that normally gets chewed up by offenses vs. zone schemes. Puts more pressure on the other front 6 against the run, but it holds the QB for a little extra time allowing for the rush to get to the QB. Sean Lee is a pretty heady football player and strong in coverage, I expect he will cause some problems.
Hate Sean Lee. He's always tough against us.

& Ty Montgomery.
Like Steve Smith said. This Dallas defense is vanilla. They ain't holding back all kinds of stuff to throw at Rodgers. Spagnuola tried that $#!T & got roasted.
The Dallas best defense is keeping their Offense on the field & Rodgers off it
Sean Lee is finally healthy and now an All Pro. His disadvantage is his height. I'd take him on Cook most of the time.
Great cover 2 D's have had great LB's. Tampa had Shelton Quarles and Derrick Brooks, Lovie had Urlacher and Briggs.
Cook will be our cover2 buster but I would look for Ty also. They can flex him into the other TE position from basically anywhere if matchup determines it and run him up the seam. Hell, he can even leak out there from the backfield.
Richard Rodgers is going to shock the world in Dallas 
Dallas doesn't blitz much. It wouldn't shock me to see Ty and Michael in the backfield together on Sunday. It wouldn't shock me if Ty never lined up in the backfield either.
There was a 3rd and 11 play against NY with Ty lined up outside of Adams. Empty backfield. Adams ran a five yard stick and Ty crossed underneath him then broke up the seam behind the ILB and Aaron hit him in the seam for 35 yards.
Not sure if it's Mike, or Edgar, Aaron. But GB is breaking out some stuff that's really hard to defend. Especially when defenses are thinking and treating Ty as a RB.

[pedantic bastard]
DEFCON is a reverse scale; DEFCON 1 is the most extreme. So you meant DEFCON 0.

They do everything backwards in Minnesota!

Holding
Look at Lane Taylor. He's holding the entire time! I can see it from here!

I hope GB puts a frame around it and the entire secondary signs it.
Greatest x4 idea ever! Well done, CJ.
Not my idea to put a frame around it. Many teams in many Pro leagues have done it over the years when an opposing teams season ends or a game ends in painful fashion. It happens quite a bit. Getting the players to sign it was my wrinkle.

Yes we need to pound the rock but Dallas is #1 run D, (NYG is # 2 and GB #8).

Either way Aaron will need to take what D gives him early so Pack not playing catchup with 'Boys. Move the chains then big plays will come.

Well, if this pure deep cover 2 zone is their base defense all the while the Cowboys defense ranked #1 against the run and #26 against the pass...
I'd go in another direction.
DAL allows 3.9 avg, GBP allow 4.0 avg. Yards / game is a misleading stat, especially when you are leading most of the games. The DAL D had the lowest rush attempts/game against them.
1 DAL - 21.2
T6 GBP - 23.5
