I’m not going to get too rough on Jaire not grabbing that pick. In perfect weather-maybe. With the snow coming down, slippery ball, cold hands. Easier to critique from the comfort of our Easy chair.
Positives tonight ~ 8-2, pretty healthy. Both Jones and Williams look great. Jimmy Graham turned back the clock.
Negatives ~Rodgers. Not so much his passing. His decision making was awful. Throwing 30+ yards downfield on third down is a low probability completion. Great when it happens to convert, but all those times it doesn’t, it’s a punt, and pressure on the D again. Get to the line. Get the ball snapped before the game clock runs down.
You’re a Hall of Fame QB at home. Not getting the ball hiked on time is inexcusable. Stop worrying so damned much about the hard count trying to get the defense to jump off sides. It’s been our own Olinemen that have been jumping lately. Opposing defenses are on to you by now. Do it every once in a while.
Physical skills will always decline some over time. That’s understandable. He’s still strong, and able to run pretty well. But #12 making mistakes a rookie would make-that’s perplexing, and I don’t get it. And MLF has to chew his ass for it.
