3 failed tries to get into the endzone. Now they have to do it twice in a row just to tie. Kicking the FG wasn't a bad idea. The D didn't hold up.
Agreed. The D had to step up and get the ball back. There was plenty of time and the Packers basically had four TOs with the two minute warning. And, if you recall, they committed the very smart offside penalty after the nine yard catch by Evans (on the first play after the kickoff) to give Tampa the automatic first down. Which kept the clock and situation still in Green Bay's favor...
Unfortunately, Kevin King, who made three enormous mistakes yesterday, committed the fatal one on third and seven with the interference call on Johnson. Johnson was running a flat route and would have NEVER caught the ball. But King couldn't do anything right. So the game ended with the defensive goat bailing out the GOAT.
in NFL history this year. 48 TD's in 60 trips. 7x they had 4th down inside the 10, 5x they went for it. This time they didn't. It was a bad call.
4th and goal from the 9 has to have a very low conversion %, even with Rodgers at the helm.
You know who is getting a big mulligan in this situation? Rodgers is, he had an easy 6+ yards if not a TD if he took off running on the 3rd down play instead of forcing a pass into a crowd. 4th and 2 is a whole lot easier to go for it then 4th and 9

I don't know if he's getting a mulligan - at least what I'm listening to - but that yardage would have certainly helped. He's a bit lucky, too, that third down pass wasn't picked off. That was a real force into tight coverage.
The killer on that series was the first down RPO where Rodgers faked the run, threw to Lazard, but Lazard never read the play and the ball just sailed by...
Even if they do not convert on 4th down, the Bucs would have to be very conservative with their backs to the goal. If I were Rodgers, I would be furious today. Terrible blunder.

Maybe so, but kicking the ball to TB and asking your D to stop them and THEN drive most of the field with little time left and no TO’s would be a lower conversion rate.

Great add. This goes to context that goes beyond the surface of the decision.
