[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 678956"] The one errant throw by Rodgers that stood out to me (aside of the interception of course) happened on the Packers’ first offensive drive of the game. Here's Baranczyk's take on the play: [I]Rodgers combined a bad decision with an inaccurate throw on a play that also raises a question about the Packers’ post-snap adjustments. The book on Rodgers always has been don’t blitz or he’ll make you pay, but here the Vikings did and nearly intercepted him. The Packers had three receivers at the top of the formation and Jordy Nelson alone at the bottom. Vikings safety Harrison Smith crept up to the line on Nelson’s side and blitzed off the edge. Normally, Nelson would have been a hot read because the blitz created a hole in the defense on his side. He’d run a quick slant for a fairly simple pitch and catch, and if he could break that first tackle he’d have a shot at a big play. But Nelson didn’t run a slant and Rodgers never looked at him. Instead, Rodgers threw quickly to tight end Jared Cook on the other side. Luckily for the Packers the throw was a little behind Cook, because if it had been on target it would have hit linebacker Eric Kendricks in the chest. Instead, Kendricks reached out one hand and easily batted down the ball for an incompletion[/I]. On the third-and-2 play Rodgers targeted Nelson in the end zone against Alexander he would have had Cobb wide open on a quick slant for a first down but never looked his way. It's true the quarterback didn't have any time to go through his progressions on that play but should have decided before the snap throwing to Cobb would have bern the better choice. [/QUOTE]
