[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 970875, member: 17953"] I don't think the Packers adding another veteran wide receiver would send the message that the team doesn't believe the youngsters will ever be good enough. Their Super Bowl window is closing fast and if they feel the need to add talent at WR for a run in this year's playoffs they should make a move. [CENTER] ------------------------------------------------------------[/CENTER] I think you're generalizing here. The throws he made to these guys were the "safe throws," that he knew he could make. The Jones passes were pretty much all safety valve passes, nothing else. With the field conditions, he was able to turn in a decent amount of yardage. They were smart calls. You can't just take those numbers and throw them out as if they were proof that weather wasn't the problem. The reality is, smart coaches make smart decisions on who you throw to in that kind of weather. Considering Garo had a 57.1 QB rating in the game, and Rodgers was 91.9, I'd say it's obvious who made the better choices. Next, Rodgers was sacked 5 times. Our line was blocking anything. That's why our RBs only gained 67 yards for the game. Blocking stunk, because they couldn't get their footing. That is not on the WRs.

What I saw was blunders by our offensive line, and what could be considered some dumb decisions by the coaches at times, but I sure as heck don't intend buying into the fact that we lost that game because we had poor receivers.
