[QUOTE="red4tribe, post: 626021, member: 1966"] Our numbers per wins against winning teams probably differ as I did not factor in any games started by Flynn, Wallace, or Tolzien. I completely agree that Rodgers shouldn't receive all of the blame for the average playoff record, however, examining those losses with any degree of objectivity shows, to me at least, that he shoulders some blame. No, you cannot blame him for the loss at San Francisco in 2012 where the defense gave up 181 yards rushing to Kaepernick, or the loss at home to the Giants in 2011 when the entire team collapsed. And no, you shouldn't lose a playoff game when you put up 45 points at Arizona either. However. in three of his five playoff losses, Rodgers has had the ball at the end of the fourth quarter (or overtime in the Arizona game), and failed to put the Packers ahead. He turned it over against Arizona, and then settled for field goals against SF in 2013 and Seattle in 2014. In the latter two games, SF and Seattle capitalized on the failure to put up a touchdown. Rodgers is statistically one of the most efficient quarterbacks in postseason history, as he is during the regular season, but unfortunately his postseason the statistics do not match the reality of what has transpired. As I've said, by no means does Rodgers deserve all of or even most of the blame. There were various factors outside his control in each game, and we've had some bad luck as well (e.g. losing the coin toss at Seattle). Rodgers is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, and I think he can become the greatest with another championship or two. There is no other quarterback I'd rather have than him. That being said, I cannot completely absolve him when considering the Packers' mediocre playoff record the past seven seasons. [/QUOTE]
