I think Jones' fumble late in the first half was something we should be giving more attention to besides #12. We were finally getting a good rhythm going and in position to score on that drive. This isn't the first time he's fumbled in a big spot in a big game.
It should be noted these antics are coming from defensive players and not from other units. Another reason to can Barry.

Many discussed Turnover ratio before this game. The Lions are very careful with the ball and GB has had pretty consistent ball security issues in the playoffs.
He fumbled in 2021 against Tampa. Lewis fumbled in 2022 against SF. And now Jones fumbled again this year.I think Jones' fumble late in the first half was something we should be giving more attention to besides #12.

Say it so
big moments too. 2nd and medium, likely a first down to Dillon. Instead, flat out drop, setting up 3rd and medium. Drop back pass, Yosh gets destroyed and holds all on the same play and down is over before it even really starts. Instead of 3 more plays we get to try an almost 50 yard FG.
I’ll give them 3 drops. That Lazard one where he tried to run before catching it (8 yards) the strike to Doubs down the sideline (20 yards) and one to Dillon right in the mitts for a 2 yard pass and possible 5-7 yard play (He was covered up).
Sorry. Good try defending #12 but Film doesn’t lie.
you're misunderstanding.
That one definitely wouldn't be on my top half of Rodgers playoff games, but Jennings, Jordy, Jones, Crabtree, Finley, (I THINK Taylor too) and Starks all dropped passes while Grant and Kuhn also fumbled (Cobb got away with one on a kickoff). Literally the only skill player that didn't put the ball on the ground that day was the old guy Donald Driver. At the end of that game, I didn't come to a conclusion that Rodgers was anywhere near the biggest reason we lost. Defense gave up 37 and choked at the end of the half on the Hakeem Nicks coverage as well as the long run that led up to it (Bradshaw I believe).
Ok. Maybe a rope sure I can see that. I’m just pointing out there were as many off target throws #12 would love to have back also as there were “dropped passes”. The Doubs ankle biter was more on Aaron as a foot higher and Doubs catches it. The biggest miss we had was Doubs sideline pass it was perfectly placed for a 25 yard play.
Not to mention the horrific angle Jones took at the end of the half vs San Fran. Should have been a TD if he ran forward. Instead he was tackled and a blocked kick followed.
I haven't been on here in a while, but I forgot about the 5 or so internet tough guys that pop on here ha. I told you about 2013 and 2014 playoff games but please ignore everything I posted and flex your muscles with your short post.
You realize that Rodgers audibles out of runs very frequently, right?
To be fair, Doubs was actually covered pretty well and 1) Doubs probably wasn't expecting it at that point and 2) due to the defender's position it was probably difficult to even see the ball coming. I have zero concerns about Doubs due to that one play.
He threw a lot of high rainbows last night. It was like watching a game from the 1950s.
Last week was a freak game, everything went our way. You're not going to see that very often.
Wouldn't surprise me. Detroit finished hotter than we did. They remind me a little of how the '92 Packers started coming on after we got Favre, and '93 started a string of playoff appearances.
