[QUOTE="Carl, post: 622387, member: 9497"] Let's not pretend the defense and special teams have lost all the playoffs games alone. In 2011, the offense vs the Giants was a turnover machine and Rodgers didn't play well. In 2013, the defense gave up an average amount in the playoffs without Clay and Shields and D. Jones playing OLB since they ran out of healthy OLBs. The offense only put up 20. Rodgers also didn't have a great game. Last season, the offense was average at best in Seattle. The defense gave up 3 TDs and had 4 picks. That should be enough with Rodgers. He did throw a bad end zone pick early while in FG range too. That seems to be forgotten. I can think of one example of playing not to lose. One game shouldn't be generalized to more important games. There's also Rodgers being hurt last year and losing mobility and the injuries in 2013 mentioned above. It's nowhere as simple as saying the supporting cast has always let Rodgers down and they play not to lose in the important games. In fact, during the Super Bowl run, the defense was more of a deciding factor in two of the four games than Rodgers. [/QUOTE]
