I can't imagine either of these teams winning next week. Has to be under 15-20% chance for either team no matter who they play.

Is Aaron Rodgers an elite QB this season? How many QBs have played better than him this year? Off the top of my head I imagine Blake Bortles and Rodgers have similar counting stars.
Rodgers is showing his skill on this drive. Lesser QBs would be checking down every pass play. Rodgers is checking all his receivers, pump faking, moving, checking, pumping, rolling out and delivering an accurate throw. Inside the pocket he's been just as good with quick release and accurate throws. Plus his skill is showing as much with where he's NOT throwing the ball- keeping it away from covered receivers.

If I'm picking a team for next year Rodgers is top three on my list. He has a ton of talent and his OL, receivers, and coach are making him look worse.

Bad move by GB running the clock here. Why make the game more random by reducing the number of possessions? You're controlling the ball on offense. And your pass D seems to be in control.

Close to unnecessary roughness with that 3rd down hit on Rodgers well after the ball left his hand.

Well timed.

Was that Rogers can't decide on the receiver so he missed both?
Easy to say from our couches. He was flushed from the pocket and running the scramble drill hoping not to be pulled down from behind. In hindsight he should have thrown to Kuhn.
The INT looked like it happened because the receiver broke the opposite way Rodgers expected.
