But more than that is playing so YOU do not lose. Bart Starr was thought to be fundamentally as cautious an careful as a QB could be and never flashy. But yet at crunch time or when it was needed he did not hesitate to push the button and he was very successful at motivating the rest of those in the huddle. With a Packer team that prided itself in the run game during that era I was shocked as much as the rest of the football world when Starr would go play action and throw long on 3rd and short and even 4th and short. Now his gunslinger contemporary, John Unitas, was known to do just that.  Rodgers should have taken command in the 9er game. He had what he needed to at least put up another 7 points. His defense played great. He had the home field advantage he complained about. And he had the extra week off that the 9ers did not. Albeit special teams gave Frisco 10 and cost us 3. He only needed one more TD. And he could only get us 10 points in Lambeau.</p></blockquote><p></p>
