Because he's not the problem like you and your other troll friends made him out to be.

Mike McCarthy called the plays too slow and this game is evidence of this. As much as I supported our old coach he became a tempo killer and Rodgers doesn't change anywhere near the amount of plays the fake news reports said he did.

Helps when you have time in the pocket. It also helps when you aren’t playing the Chicago Bears on opening night when you haven’t had an preseason reps.

I went through every offensive play illustrating how many times Rodgers went with his first option, but anytime the offense isn’t operating on all cylinders it’s automatically AR’s fault.

Did ANYONE see how far Gary traveled to lay a hit on Stephon Diggs, after rushing the passer and being met by two blockers, without a penalty? UnF’ingbelieveable. THAT is SPEED!

He was on the 33.5 yd line after being blocked twice rushing Cousins, turned around and CHASED at 0:21hitting Diggs, along with Savage at 0:16 on our own 47 yd line. Remarkable.

16 yds after fighting off a double team to nail the WR with our Safety in 5 seconds.

You did a great job of it too, bud! Wow. Atta boy!

21-10 good start. Let's get the offense going again

I’m glad it was a fg and not a td but I feel dirty as a fan.

And I cried at the tribute and Mrs. Starr. You should have too

yup. not under as much pressure. jenkins in for taylor. running game clicking...all make a difference. wristband making tempo better. he's getting his feet set better too.

Taylor is still in.

 

[gbgary]

Taylor is still in.

rob demovski on twitter said jenkins was in earlier and it wasn't an injury to taylor. i didn't notice he was back.

 

[greengold]

wtf

Horrific snap by Linsley. He’s played worse than anyone on the OL today. Rather try Jenkins there if he keeps this up.

Not Rodgers not being ready for it. Shotgun dropped a foot in front of his feet.

Our STs have definitely made a turn for the better.

 

[gbgary]

the O's gotten worse as the games gone on. the game has gotten dicey. our D has been on the field the whole 2nd half.

 

[gbgary]

the D hangs on for the W!! the O was horrible for the last 2/3rds of the game. 2-0!!

 

[greengold]

Well, that DID NOT SUCK!

 

[Mondio]

I think Taylor could be losing his job. On the radio on the way home, MLF said just because he started the season doesn't mean he's finishing it. It's an open competition all year long every game. I don't think they're any more happy with his level of play than we are. Of course somebody has to step up and take it too for us to get better.

Good game guys. Packers seem to have a defense this year. The offense still needs some work. After those first 3 drives, they did nothing. Can't do that. Reminds me of the Vikings/Falcons game. Get up and then don't do squat. Not a way to keep winning in the NFL.

 

[OldSchool101]

Yeah. This game was near exactly what many expected. A close Defensive match. Turnovers and Field position Won the day. Rodgers was just a little smarter than Cousins and threw the ball away instead of forcing it. Nice game, MN has themselves a RB to go with their D.

Thanks. For someome who isnt a Packer fan, you're still a class act.

They have a lot of photos and video on the tribute at the Packers' website.

well I really don’t know why we should even continue following the rest of the games this season. The 10-3 victory over the Bears in week 1 was the first 10-3 victory the Packers have had since.....the Bears in 2010. Super Bowl champions confirmed

But to pass the time, I guess we’ll discuss what needs to be done to take down the Vikes. I’ll be an interested viewer tomorrow when they take on the Falcons.

Kirk Cousins - What can we say about him? I imagine he's quite a topic of conversation now just west of the Mississippi...

84 mil for a guy who's never won a playoff game...I think I'm glad he's a Viking.

 

[greengold]

Add to that Curly, he's never come back from a 21 point deficit.

Biggest takeaway for the Vikes for me is they should have stuck with Teddy or even Bradford. They could have saved millions and not been worse of in the QB department, especially with that amazing running games you guys have. If Cousins doesn't throw that pick late, I think the Vikes win that game quite honestly.

One thing that I’ve been harping on for a few years is to use the RBs more in the passing game. It’s adds another dimension to the game that has to be accounted for Defensively.

I love we’re doing that, although I think it’s going to take a number of weeks to really get a grip on all the nuances due to a learning curve, I think getting AJ involved all around is smart. Minnesota’s LBs are some of the best in the league in coverage, yet I could still sense we were very close to success already in week 2. I’d keep the hammer down

 

[Phazael]

My other observation is that if they are not going to throw to Graham, they need to dump him since he can't block at all. We have to guys who can line up there who know how to block. I like Graham's receiving ability, but we just are not using our TE position in that manner on this roster much, if at all. And frankly, we are facing too many good Defenses with great pass rush this season to have our TEs out running routes, instead of blocking.
