Aaron Rodgers Can Still Make Magic — Green Bay Packers
The Rodgers family has a flare for the dramatic – and no, we’re not talking about Aaron Rodgers.
“It was called, so therefore it is and we’ve just got to find a way to make the play”, Caldwell said.
“I love what I do”.
As for the Lions and their fans…well…I’ll let the comments below (pulled from the Detroit Free Press) explain how they feel about the loss.
Aaron Rodgers scrambled to his right and fired a bomb into the end zone, where his tight end made a two-handed grab. “He was like ‘we’ve got to go forward, there’s no time left we’ve got to do something.’ So, it worked out in our favor, I guess”, said Richard Rodgers. He boxed out the Lions’ defenders.
“We needed a win like that”, coach Mike McCarthy said.
Aaron Rodgers had never thrown a successful Hail Mary before.
After a couple of laterals, the ball wound up in his hands again with no one behind him.
Then, the team orchestrated a second-half comeback only to apparently fall short until a face mask penalty on Devin Taylor gave Rodgers and company one final play with time expiring.
It’s planning. Strategy. Practice (something the Packers reportedly do with their Hail Mary play every Saturday).
Do you think Matthew Stafford gets the same call?
Aaron Rodgers finished the contest 24-of-36 for 273 yards with two touchdown passes and one interception, while Richard Rodgers had career highs of eight receptions and 146 yards receiving with the one touchdown catch. He was intercepted once.
Perhaps because it was also being presented on the NFL Network, the game’s preliminary average of 39.0 on CBS affiliate WDJT-TV (Channel 58), while impressive was about five rating points lower than this season’s average.
When Caldwell cashes his paycheck he better make sure no cops are around or they’re liable to arrest him for outright stealing Martha’s money.
Yet Green Bay sits just one game behind the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC North at 8-4 with a matchup against the division leaders set for Week 17.
“And then Rodgers throws it back to Rodgers again”. “The idea was to come in there with a one-two punch”. Lacy didn’t make the start and had only five carries for 4 yards. Once Aaron Rodgers’ 61-yard, game-ending Hail Mary settled into Richard Rodgers’ hands, six weeks of frustration and misery were washed away. Caldwell actually showed the opposite in the fourth quarter. “Freaking” Jones who, on the season, coming into that game, caught all of one pass for 11 yards.
Richard Rodgers Sr. had to like what he saw of his son’s winning catch on the all-University of California connection. This created the extraordinarily weird image of a quarterback who was more or less at his line of scrimmage, the furthest man backfield, and yet prohibited from throwing. Injuries clearly decimated the offensive line. But at the same time we can’t worry about that.
-RB John Crockett got some surprising time in the backfield. He’s a guy that’s just been working super-hard and we felt like he deserved an opportunity.
Stafford was 23 of 35 for 220 yards and two scores.
