And yet it worked - if that ignorant coaching staff wasn't trying to get cutesy with a fade route when having already controlled the ball for eight minutes with 1:24 remaining. The proper call there on 2nd and 1 with timeouts in the bag is to run the ball again, likely get a first down to set up four shots inside the GB10 to win the game while draining more time off the clock (Dallas had another TO (or two?) as well, GB had two).
If Dallas score thereafter, which is likely at the rate, there's probably no more than 30 seconds remaining. Rodgers isn't likely bailing GB out with that little time and needing say 30-40 yards for a FG shot to tie, let alone 75 yards to win.
I'd rather lose the game with my top tier offense having four shots with 60 seconds than lose the game because my shit defense can't stop anything.
Except Joe Thomas.
Poor Joe. It's waste for a great LT to go to the Browns. Just like it is for a DT from OU going to the Bucs, which were two of our best ever NFL prospects in Lee Roy Selmon and more recently Gerald McCoy (since I know not everyone here would get that reference).
I'm not bitter though...
They do have a lot of talent on their roster. In my opinion, they are simply lacking some spark to get them going. I wouldn't be surprised to see them win quite a few games at the end of the season.
Joe Thomas could have left via free agency but chose to remain.

I think they needed a better start to win quite a few games. Saw the highlights yesterday, and they made so many easy mistakes yet again. I agree though, they do have talent on their roster. How has their o-line been overall? Looked like a good unit before the season began.
The Dolphins coach... why would you take video of you snorting (what appears to be) cocaine? And how did that get out?
Some escort he was hooking up with leaked that video 
Always tip your escorts.Some escort he was hooking up with leaked that video
I bet she got a nice cash payment for that!
Don't had the chance to watch them much, but from what I've seen they looked alright. Guess it's tough to look good as on O-line without a real QB as a thread.
Especially a QB who's holding on to the ball for far too long.
And one who is so bad the defense can overplay the run.
I posted a link to a Facebook page a few pages back. They're due to put another order in too I think.
He will need to win more superbowls before being seriously considered. QB ratings alone wont get it done.
oh no doubt. TBH, I think hes the most talented QB ive seen.
Brady will go down as GOAT cos of success.
I think Rodgers has been let down by management badly.
So 'respecting' the flag>>>>>>>>>>>the first amendment? ok
as twitter nicely put it
'old white men gonna be ol white men' rofl.
The need for fan boys to repeat the Brady is goat line whenever another QB shows they are more talented is always amusing to me.
I'm anything but a Brady fan. I just don't get the fascination with calling a player with one Super Bowl win to his name, who is in the middle of his career the goat. Brady on the other hand is at the end of his career with 5 rings, so its not exactly a stretch to call him the goat.
So much comedy above. The need for haters to tag others as fan boys when someone likens Brady after another claims Rodgers/Manning/whomever. I think this happens in all of sports if I'm not mistaken. Trying to solve the equation on how talented equals greatest. Puzzling indeed. I guess that's where Brady haters must resort to because their man can't beat out Brady in most categories. And this assuming Brady isn't somehow talented. Well shit, Rodgers can run faster = he's the best ever.
Interesting conclusion that I, a Dallas Cowboys fan, is suddenly a fan boy of Brady because I call it as I see it - the GOAT (my favorite QB was Aikman, if you're scoring at home). But please, do enlighten me some more so that I may see the errors of my way.
The Mitch Trubisky era officially begins.
Thing is, this could go for numerous QBs that were fantastic even HOFers like Marino, Fouts, etc. Elway suffers in these GOAT discussions because the NFC was so superior in the 80s that Elway practically carrying and willing his side to three SB appearance simply had nothing to counter those great NFC sides (yes, I'm aware Elway won two at the end of his career when he was more game manager than great). So how does one separate Rodgers from this pack of all-time greats in such scenario?
Flip side is the likes of Aikman, Bradshaw, Starr et al rarely get consideration because they didn't post gaudy statistics due to the systems employed and often get negative marks against due to the surrounding talent but they won more titles while playing at elite levels.

You watch some of the QB play and you wonder how Romo and Kap can't get jobs.
Bradford completely deserved that. Its like he was daydreaming in his own endzone.
Bradford is prone to doing that
Romo had a couple offers/invites but I think he ultimately chose to not break himself further.
2-0 is a rare scoreline. Chicago defense came to play tonight.

Broncos should have made a play for Romo if you ask me. They have an excellent secondary and if Romo stayed healthy they would have had a great chance at another ring.

Yeah, Denver and Romo would have been ideal* but I think Elway was sold on his guy.
*Assuming Romo could stay upright for more than a couple games.

Romo might have been a risk worth taking. They had similar experience with Peyton struggling to stay healthy.
These O lines are going to get their QBs killed.
That McKinnon guy just got lit up.
That was rough a rough hit on Wheaton
Great fake punt.
Punter with the pass of the game.
That McKinnon lad has some speed.
