[QUOTE="PackAttack12, post: 711855, member: 11933"] There's no way for me to know that I shouldn't take your "6 weeks" comment for exactly the way that it read. I agree that, very seldom, was the entire team clicking on all cylinders. That much is 100% true. But I also recall myself saying early in the year last year that the fact that Rodgers and the offense didn't get a lot of reps together in the preseason would have a huge impact, and that the team would probably start off slow offensively. And then when it happened, many were saying Rodgers was done, Rodgers needed to be benched/traded, etc. I was among a small group of people that said stay calm, that those comments would prove to be foolish. Somehow we still went 4-2 in the first 6 games, despite Rodgers not playing at the level he is accustomed to. The defense played respectable in stretches during those 6 games. That's what great teams need to do to bail their QB out when he's going throw a tough stretch, either due to just flatout poor play, or due to rust. I don't think anyone is suggesting that the Packers should win the Super Bowl every single year, but it is rather disappointing to have only had 1 Super Bowl appearance in the Rodgers era. And the biggest reason why there's only been one is due to the defense. Not to beat a dead horse, but when you have Aaron Rodgers, a guy that has better overall playoff numbers than Tom Brady, across the board, there's no other way to look at the situation than to simply admit that Rodgers doesn't have enough. That's just the reality of the situation. Sorry. Don't want to make this thread all about Rodgers, just wanted to get my response in. [/QUOTE]
