With just over 2 minutes left on the clock, and you have Aaron Rodgers at QB, you gotta go for it, not kick a field goal and pray that you'll get the ball back.

That decision REALLY DID cost the Packers the game (no guarantee going for it would have resulted in the TD and the two-point convert, but you gotta try!!!)

and they would have still needed a touchdown.

But, I'm a Bears fan, so seeing the hated Packers go down so publicly, that was the right decision as far as I'm concerned.

Don’t care what the score is as long as they beat the Bucs and Mahomes doesn’t get hurt!

However I heard a rumor that he wants to pull a Farve. That and Aaron Jones wants a deal. Maybe they are planning a Brady/Gronkowski move.

If there’s no receiver open for a called pass play and the quarterback has the option of adding yardage, the quarterback takes it. In this instance imo, he should have run.

3 Brady interceptions and only being able to materialize 6 points from those interceptions doesn’t win championship games either.

The entire team lost, not just Rodgers. Nor was it just his “fault”, there were plenty of dropped passes. But, by being the apparent leader of the team, he’s taking the brunt of the criticism by packer nation.

He only pretended to be a loyal Packers coach while he was alive. He was actually part of the Deep State and put this plan to sabotage Sunday's game against Tampa Bay into motion over 60 years ago (or longer)!

It's just that I hate overrated athletes. I go by Rings. (Yes, I know, Cleveland's never even been to a Super Bowl. Hopefully that changes befor I slip this mortal coil.)
