Aaron Rodgers after the game, "We were the better team today"

[CarlSr]

So he's probably what, 1 of 2 guys that can get away with that while everyone will just nod their heads? I need to hear more about how this guy doesn't have an ego and you just have to love him.

I think they were for 3 and 1/2 quarters. I like Rodgers. Its gotta really suck to lose that way. Russell stunk it up and in the end pulled his best Houdini of his career.

No idea what the context of the "we were the better team" was.

He did say "we gave it away" which I guess is understandable. Hopefully he also gave credit to the opposition, but I"m not sure.

I'd recommend playing to win instead of playing not to lose when he gets another opportunity in the next few years. Got very tentative.

one '12' down, another to go.


RW 10-0 against Super Bowl Winning QB's.


I just LOVE our Game Manager.

I like Rodgers.

And I think that's why he will get a pass here. I have a feeling someone like a Tony Romo (not just him, I'm just using him as an example) would get murdered by the press and fans for a comment like that. Honestly, Brady would probably have a tougher time getting away with it too simply because of how many fans can't stand him.

He's played against Seattle 3 times the last 3 years, and I can't remember him ever giving the Seahawks credit for their wins. I don't see his conferences against other teams (and mostly highlights of the ones against Seattle), but I just can't recall him ever being all that gracious in defeat.

Seattle capitalized on the opportunities GB gave them when it counted most. GB didn't and they had way more opportunities handed to them.

A better team finishes the game..sorry, better double check that thought Aaron.

It must be hard to swallow to have the game until your TE muffed the onside kick when he shouldn't even have went for it.

GB was the better team yesterday. I've never seen so many strokes of luck line up for one team in one game in my life until yesterday. GB deserved to win.

Go watch the game film of the 2008 Super Bowl.

And btw..Packers can blame the fact they settled for 3 instead of 7 all game.

This was the most gut wrenching loss I've ever witnessed. A team that shit the bed for 97% of the game magically gets divine intervention in the last seconds of the game to pull a stick out If their ass and have everything roll just right for them. GB didn't even deserve to win as much as Seattle deserved to lose.

I agree. I commented yesterday that Bostick is your Bill Buckner. Red Sox fans will know what I mean by that.

 

[TKOSpikes]

The Packers had it in hand, but you can't use the word "deserved". The Packers blew it. FG instead of TD in the first half...and only managed two FG in the second half.

Bostick blew it. Plain and simple. He is part of the Packers, and his blunder takes away any "deserving" feelings.

 

[Dude]

You gotta play the whole 60 minutes Aarón you of all people should know that.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Six points off five turnovers is not deserving of anything...but maybe heartbreak.

 

[Retroram52]

The momentum changed dramatically when a TE, Bostick did not do his job. He gets paid to do his job like the rest of us. How can a team then allow its opponent to score 15 points in 44 seconds? Playing tentatively, not playing to win, folding mentally, and making very costly mistakes at crucial points in the game. GB did indeed give the game away.

 

[CarlSr]

You know, Jaemis Winston just got ripped a new one for this, but he's a black kid, so I guess he's fair game. I think the same criticism applied to Winston should apply here. Don't say shit like, "the better team lost." Seattle was the #1 seed and they defeated you twice this season. Be a professional, put blame on yourself, tell the fans your sorry, and let the media and fans say shit like that. Don't go up there like a bad sport, especially with the way your fans defend every arrogant thing you've ever done. Oh, and maybe don't throw your coaches under the bus either with the, "we weren't aggressive enough" comment. How many times did you have the ball in Seattle's territory and not walk away with a TD, Rodgers? You think you might want to assume some responsibility and leave out the butthurt comments and finger pointing?

Again, I know it's blasphemy to question him as I am, but as I stated earlier, let another QB make these comments, and we would sit here tearing the guy a new one.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Well said Carl.
