Oh & by the way–my predictions for the rest of the season– Another MOonday night embarassment against CHicago & Detroit goes 1-15–winning theior last game of the year. I certaly hope not but I agree with Andy–these guys seem resigned to losing.

Don’t know about you guys but I’m really getting frustrated with Rodgers over throwing wide open receivers on long plays when they are two steps ahead of the defenders. Happened at least twice yesterday.

Also, why are we not using a true two back system. Jackson seems to me to be a much more determined runner than Grant. Look at the Panthers. 2 Very good running backs basically getting equal time. Always keeps one with fresh legs.

I see real coaching problems here.

And puhleeze–do something about our our O + D lines & Banish Poppinga to Siberia. I saw a play yesterday where the ball was one hopped to the receiver for Jacksonville but it was close. Instead of going ahead and touching the receiver to down him (just in case he did catch it or the refs missed the one hop) Poppinga’s standing there giving the incomplete signal. Come on-just reach down & touch him

Oh well, on 2 next year.

I agree with most of what’s inyour article. But I am wondering about Rodgers as a leader. I look at what Matt Ryan is doing in Atlanta. The rookie comes in and becomes team leader. Why is Rodgers not coming in and taking over? Is it his personality? Is he being hampered by management? Would a come-from-behind victory “make” him a leader? I would be interested to hear your take on this.
