Should he continue to pick his (few and far between) spots and focus on protecting the ball, relying on the defense to keep us in games? This approach obviously hasn't been overly successful, but we've won a few games down the stretch (Detroit, Dallas, Oakland). Or, does he need to start forcing the ball into windows that might not be all the way open in an attempt to kick start the offense?I can see an argument for either approach in these playoffs. The "game manager" approach may be enough to move the ball consistently against a mediocre-to-bad Redskins defense, without incurring too much risk. However, I don't think we're getting any further than the Redskins playing the way we have on offense. So what's the goal here? Win a game, "save face", and move on to next year? I'm generally a huge fan of Rodgers's game/decision making, but we're not going anywhere this year without him exploding in the playoffs. I think it's time for him to start slinging. We may go down in flames, but at least we'll go down swinging. Maybe I'm doing a little too much armchair quarterbacking here, and these small windows I referenced are non-existent, but there seem to be some more opportunities to fit the ball into tighter windows than he's taking.ETA: Lacy and Starks are a big part of this equation too, and probably weigh heavier in the game management approach, but I'm specifically talking about Rodgers's role in the offense as opposed to play calling and run-pass balance.</blockquote>
