Rodgers basically shat on MM

Seems like he is not happy with MM right now.

There's a disconnect and its probably because he's still pissed Clements lost playcalling

And the offense continues to suck

Anybody know if NFL Network will replay this game? I checked online and it just said NFL Replay game tbd or something. We had a party Sunday and I missed about half the game. Thanks.

Maybe he is mad at MM but from that it sounds like he is disappointed in the whole offense and deservedly so. Rodgers is to blame too, our offense is going to struggle when Rodgers isn't on. Hopefully they can figure it out at least by playoff time, Rodgers going into Godgers mode would certainly help but there are a few other areas that can realistically improve.

Many times our receivers can't get open and many times Rodgers isn't finding them when they do get open. Lots of "blame" to go around

His response to the question about the interception was great though.

Behind Aaron's eyes was someone who was seething about something. I don't think it was MM, but maybe they blew up at one another in the locker room or something.

At this point, it wouldn't surprise me if it came out that he railed on Adams either at halftime or after the game. The guy had another 2-3 crucial drops and clearly didn't sell out for that deep ball down the middle (he misplayed it but I still think he could've caught it).

He's been nothing short of awful. Couple that with his "he needs to be on the field more" comments towards Abby, and I think he's reached a boiling point with Davante.

I've been a huge fan of Randall was a little disappointed to see him get schooled by Cooper. It's a growing experience, glad he got the pick 6, but Damarious has some work to do. I still think he's a starting caliber corner and will be a solid part of this defense.

He didn't get schooled that bad. One of those touchdowns was simply a perfect pass on which Randall had good coverage.

[El Duderino]

I'm much more confident going into Arizona right now than I was two weeks ago. Passing game still needs a lot of work, but this team has proven that they can win with defense and the run game.

Getting the ball in the hands of actual playmakers other than Davante and Dick-Rod has also given me hope going forward. Cobb had a game that made him look like the $11 mil per year WR he is for probably the first time this season. Good signs.

What playmakers besides Cobb?

This win didn't do much to make me think the team has much chance to advance far in the playoffs.

Carr gift wrapped the Packers 14 point in the first half via terrible throws. Other than that, the offense had only 100 yards in the first half.

That 14-15 play 92 yard drive in the second half was both good and bad to see IMO. Good to finally see them convert 3rd downs and bad that it took 14-15 plays to get down the field.

The lack of explosive plays in the passing game is still a constant problem. Yea Jones had that TD catch along the sideline, but it only happened because the Raiders had an obvious blown coverage.

Come the playoffs and having to face an Arizona and/or Carolina, both put up plenty of points via explosive plays and the odds of beating either of them without multiple big plays strike me as slim.

That's why Rodgers was down after the win. He sees that the passing game is still mainly broken and he's smart enough to know that they aren't going far in the playoffs with an offense scuffling as it has for the last 8 games or so.

Today I read abby is only a slot receiver. So the only way to get him more reps without taking cobb off the field is things like putting cobb at rb. That obviously can't be done for more than 1 or 2 drives.

They need help outside and I'm disappointed to hear abby won't be contributing outside much. I thought in GB they teach the WR every position.

Run more 4 WR sets then and take Richard Rodgers off the field. Other than the Detroit game, he has brought very little to the offense.

I'm all for that. JJ, Cobb, Davante, Abby seems a better chance to get Cobb or Abby open. You can keep Kuhn back there like MM likes to do or you can still keep starks back there if you split the defense wide maybe he can sneak through, plus he's decent at picking up the blitz. Lacy might not have the speed to do as much on a draw play like that, but if he's running angry then I'd have confidence he can do it by breaking some tackles.
