First 10 playoff games
Rodgers: 66.3 Comp%, 7.94 Y/A, 22 TD, 5 INT, 105.3 Rating
Mahomes: 66.2 Comp%, 8.09 Y/A, 25 TD, 5 INT, 107.2 Rating
It's because rilamann sees the game like Skip Bayless and other talking heads out there. Of course we can't ignore that unlike rilamann they're mostly doing it for ratings and they've become millionaires cause of it so they have no reason to stop. No offense rilamann, I like you and find you funny but I gotta call it like I see it.
Rodgers probably had the worst game of his playoff career vs SF and if not for that Lewis fumble and Jones' bad decision making late in 1st half we still score 20 points and win the game. Still wouldn't have been an impressive showing but it would have made a world of difference even though 20 points scored would have still been Rodgers' playoff career low if I'm not mistaken. Rodgers deserves a lot of blame for the last drive cause he missed multiple reads, but other than that, every criticism I've seen kinda goes like..."Can't believe we only scored 10 points, phucking choker Rodgers phucked us again." Not only that but because of the SF loss, Rodgers also got blame retroactively assigned to him for all the previous playoff disappointments.
At the same time, Brady got a lot of praise for his play against the Rams even though he couldn't convert multiple huge 3rd and 4th downs, had 2 TOs and only 1 TD and about 100 more yards overall on 25 more throws than Rodgers did vs SF. Still can't believe we ran the ball 20 times for a monster gain of 67 yards in that game smdh. Back to the topic, Brady got all that praise cause for the 100th time in his career he almost got bailed out for no good reason other than being the luckiest SOB to ever walk the Earth. I mean, the Rams fumbled on the goal line to end the 1st half, kicked a game clinching 47 yard FG short and gave Brady the ball on their 30 yard line with their 4th fumble of the game. Brady then took advantage of all that by passing for a monster 14 yard gain on 4 attempts while Fournette converted a potentially game deciding 4th down which tied the game at the time. Brady also got thoroughly outplayed by Stafford but no mention of that of course.
Since we're talking about Mahomes as well, he, like every other QB we've seen this postseason got undoubtedly outplayed by Allen but because life isn't fair Allen is sitting on his couch right not while far inferior QBs still have a chance the make the Superbowl. For the record, Mahomes played great in the Superbowl last season but because football is a team sport, he got his ass handed to him. Supebowl against the 49ers was almost certainly Mahomes' worst game of his playoff career while his 1st AFC title game against Patriots was one of his best games, anybody wanna take a wild guess which one those 2 games Mahomes won?
The saying it's better to be lucky than good exists for a reason and when I see how careers of Rodgers, Brady and a bunch of other all time great throughout the history went, there's not a saying that rings more true to me when it comes to sports.
