[QUOTE="Un4GivN, post: 515033, member: 8782"] I re-watched the game as well and Aaron could have done a lot of things better... It was one of the worst games I have ever seen the man play. 1) 3:11 in the 3rd he missed Jones for 30-40 yard gain. On second and 4? Which all but seals the deal. At the very least Cobb is open on the short route for a first down... Aaron passes on that and throws an incomplete. Not a huge deal but a first down would have helped. On top of that the next play he throws a pick trying to force it to Jones. Jones was covered well and the pass should have never been thrown. Cobb was open on the crossing pattern for another first down. Not to take blame away from JJ, he needs to finish his route. But that pass was not going to be completed even if JJ finishes the route. Aaron locked into that route from the start and didn't see the field. That in itself was 3 errors on 2 consecutive plays that could have lead to the game being out of reach for the Bengals. 2) 13:42 in the fourth with a lead... he throws a horrible interception. (Quarless was wide open for a 5+ yard gain right in front of him). Even worse it was 1st and 10. No need to force that pass. Bonehead move I expect from #4 not #12. The five yard gain not only gets you closer to a first down but runs down the clock. A homerun in that position is great, but it would have been better to get 5 yards at a time than 30 on one play. 3) Drive with the Franklin fumble 5:14 4th... 2nd and 6 Rodgers takes a sack as he continues to look deep with both of his outlet receivers (Quarless and Franklin) open right in front of him. Quarless for sure would have got the first down. Sets up third and long... Cobb ends up 1/2 yard short and the rest is history. 4) Final drive last 4 sets of downs... on the Bengals 20. 1st down he throws to JJ who is double covered and had Cobb open on the same side for 15+ yards. And last but not least I have become quite disgusted with Rodgers on the field antics. Yelling at his receivers for the smallest of mistake, but has nothing to say when he makes a bonehead move. My point is... Don't expect perfection from your receivers if you can't do it yourself. Lead by example. Do you see Peyton Manning running around yelling at everyone and rolling his eyes like a little school girl... Just really unappealing to me. Truth be told if Rodgers was the best player on the field as his salary says he is.... The Packers win that game. Period. That was just the final 4 drives...
