yNo way I put that loss on Mendy, I put it soley on everyones favorite whipping boy, BA. Ben has a history of starting out shakey in SB's, along with a banged up OL...that was mediocre at best when healthy. The only logical thing to do, is come out of the gates, firing deep from inside the 10, :roll: . Instead of getting Ben in rhythm with short passes. God that loss still stings, & was my breaking point with Arians. Full on grab bag the entire 1st half, not considering the personnel he was fielding, calling plays as if the entire 1st team was healthy & playing.

We should be looking for number 8 this year. Not 7 & the one that got away.

I know shoulda, woulda, coulda...I'm still pissed.

He's a phenomenally great QB, when not playing from behind in Q4. Mostly, he has a few comebacks and game winning drives, but shockingly few in comparison to other top QB's. About half as often as Philip Rivers, widely considered a choke artist here, let's put it that way.



not all that shocking when you're putting up 30+ points every game. I can't remember the stat, but in 2010 and 2011 up until thta Kansas City game, the Packers only trailed for something like 10 minutes total, or something absolutely obscene like that.

the 2 biggest plays in that game were due to atrocious offensive line play

If that fat useless sack of shit Kemo doesn't get turned into a bitch by some nobody, Ben doesn't get his arm wacked, and we're up 7-0 almost immediately, after Ben connects with Wallace on an 85-yarder (or whatever it would've been)

if perhaps someone on our offensive line (Legursky) blocks along with the FB that we didn't have on our roster (Johnson), then perhaps Matthews doesn't hit Mendenhall 1/50th of a second after he gets it.

we worked hard to solve thoes problems, and i think they might be a thing of the past.

I root against them more than I used to, but I don't hate them.

You realize he's been a QB since 2008? He's had his share of opportunities, he just doesn't produce in that situation like the others.

Not sure that's really fair. He got his team alot of late 4th quarter leads the year he took over as the starter but his defense would piss them away in the final minutes and he'd get the ball back with like a minute left much of the time. I can't penalize him because his defense couldn't protect late 4th quarter leads.

Is it a fail because he said the wrong number or because it was an obvious lie

He's had some good defenses with the exception of last year. And all these QB's have had their defenses blow late leads or not get the ball back. Rivers has about a dozen game winning drives the past 4 years, Ben even more than that....Rodgers has 6. He's an outstanding QB but primarily a frontrunner.
