Green Bay entered yesterday's game against Dallas at 27th in the NFL in passing. Rodgers was the least accurate of all qualifying quarterbacks with a completion percentage of 56.1%.
That improved a little bit after their loss last night...
Green Bay now 25th in passing, and Rodgers moved up to 23rd in completion percentage. But the whole thing still looks off.
Not sure how much GB you've watched this year, but their o-line has not been the problem.
Rodgers has gotten great pass protection this year. Not good. Great.
Perhaps we can draw some parallels to our own situation, offensively. IIRC the Packers never had a really good OLine during his tenure. Rodgers was unstoppable when he had Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings, Donald Driver, Randall Cobb and Jermichael Finley. He certainly looks different with average receivers.

Yeah, he sure looks different with...Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb.
Women.,.weaken..legs!!!
It is really baffling as to what has happened to him and GB.

oline issues and no true threat at TE. He's bandaged it for a long time, but its catching up to him as he gets older.

I've watch a few of their games. Seems like he's scrambling a lot still, maybe not as much as before, however. Could also be Cobb no longer as effective and Nelson still not 100% healthy.
I did not watch the Dallas game. They also played 2 teams this year with a pass rush, Minnesota and NYG. Vikings sacked him 5 times, and he's been sacked 4 times in his other games. WE haven't been getting home with sacks, so i'm not sure how much stock i put in our game.
In any case, there's a bunch of issues; some his own, and some his aging/depleting weapons.
Rodgers seems to be sitting in the pocket for 10 seconds and he's able to scan the field and still not find someone.
It's also on him. He's not reading the field the same and his accuracy seems terrible so far.
winner
Didn't you say virtually the same thing about Eli last week? I was surprised as it was uncharacteristic of you..😎
And before this weekend, I believe PFF had the GB OL as the best pass blocking line in the league. From what I saw of yesterday's game, that certainly won't be changing. The GB OL is certainly not the issue this year.
On back-to-back plays yesterday, Rodgers threw low on 3rd to a wide open Montgomery(?), who managed to make the catch but due to the poor throw couldn't turn up field. 'Prime' Rodgers hits him in stride for 20+ yards there. Next throw, he had 5+ seconds to scan the field and then threw it right to Church for the easy INT.
I'm glad the Colts suck too.
He doesn't look any slower/weaker. It's just the decision making which has been questionable. He doesn't roll out when plays break down like he used to which was a huge part of how he got Cobb/Nelson in space. The play he threw a pick he could've easily rolled out for a few yards if he didn't find someone.
Also on the play where he fumbled on the goal line. He looked flustered and half heartedly ran straight and got hit which caused a fumble.
Really weird what's going on.

the TD he had earlier this year while falling down is still the best pass I've seen this year. Which leads me to believe it's not entirely physical.

The goalline play was just a bad play call and then a poor decision by AR. They clearly wanted to spread the Cowboys out and then run a QB draw, but Dallas didn't bite. Should've been audibled out of, or he should've just eaten it. Instead he tried to make something out of nothing.
I'm glad the Colts suck too.
Couldn't agree more.
watched the whole game and I agree. Dallas was not putting big time pressure on him, and when they do, he is still great at using his mobility to move out of the pocket.
In my opinion , bad pass protection was not a huge factor in his performance yesterday.
As for Dallas, that oline might win them a title.
He's in a bad slump - he missed Cobb for wide open TDs at least twice yesterday, three if you want to count the go-route he overthrew (though there was tight coverage on that play). And the pick and even fumble were ridiculous too. I'm sure he'll turn it around in the next week or two.
I hope he continues to decline, and of course yesterday was one of the few times I would root for the guy, and he shits the bed against Dallas.
Dallas is looking pretty good on O that O line is scary. Their rookie QB and rookie RB are setting rookie records and a lot of it has to do with playing behind the best line in the league. That week one win is looking pretty good right now.
Lol. "Fairly routinely attractive"
Their bread and butter play was the slant to Nelson who would beat the CB and go the distance. He is not able to do that. Cobb is not the player they thought he was and the Adams can't catch. Don't think Rodgers even wants to throw to the TE.
Sometimes I think he just wants to make the prefect throw just to show he can
You can't say that. HE was level 10 good for about 6-7 years. Now he's just good, maybe even very good, at times great, but he was ridiculously great all the time for a long time. Stats, eye test, wins and losses, they all point to a lesser player and there's no denying it.
Nothing at TE.
Decent pass catcher in Starks out of the backfield but that's it and the guy is always banged up.
He doesn't have even one explosive player. Rodgers is not the problem. They will add some speed and a guy or 2 who can get open and he'll be back to MVP type numbers. It isn't over for him as an elite player. Not close. 5 more years at least.
Lol. "Fairly routinely attractive"
Didn't mean that as a slight. Can't say I'm in the loop as far as America's B-listers, but my understanding was that her appeal was girl-next-door type. If you see knockout, to each his own...
Playing QB in the NFL is not easy.
I was at the game yesterday, and one thing I have started doing is reading the game threads because you miss things going on when there and don't have any commentary. I was amazed at the bashing of Eli on every pass that wasn't a positive. Equally, amazed at the people in the stands saying Eli is washed up, this and that......
You aren't going 25-30, where the 5 incompletes are drops.
There are going to be bad throws, reads, and errors.
It's a matchup advantage problem now?
Then why is he missing badly on so many throws? He is putting balls in the dirt and forcing his receivers to adjust to balls thrown behind them. Sure, guys need to make plays, but he is missing throws that he has made countless times and is showing visible frustration at it.
everyone in the league is questioning
what's wrong with Aaron Rodgers
the real question is
why is did the Giants lose to Green Bay
