a defense of Aaron...

many pundits have said that the Packers' quarterback(Aaron Rodgers)has been figured out by the team defenses of the teams that "we" played,this season... how many games did the Packers lose??? seven,but at least five of the games went down to the very last play of the game(Carolina Panthers,DA BEARS,Detroit Lions,Minnesota Vikings(all three division games were at Lambeau Field),and Arizona Cardinals)... one major fact:they had offensive line woes throughout the season(injuries),and by the end of the NFC divisional game,against Arizona,they had lost their top four wide receivers to major injuries,and their top running back(Eddie Lacy)scored only three rushing touchdowns,all season,and Aaron Rodgers was sacked over forty times(eight times by Arizona,week sixteen,alone)... the defense was wracked with injury,in the defensive backfield,and defensive line,all season,but only gave up an average of just about 21 points/per game,and the Packers lost in overtime,in the NFC divisional game,on a great play by Larry Fitzgerald,after having completed their second Hail Mary,of the season,from a basically crushed Aaron Rodgers,who was smashed,as he let go of the football,as the clock hit double zero... no other quarterback could have carried this Packers' team on his back,like he did,all season... to those pundits,they can kiss both sides of my backsides,because this season may have a disappointment,but i am very,very proud of this team... there is not a quarterback that i would trade for,and Aaron Rodgers would be in my foxhole,as the best quarterback in the NFL,BECAUSE HE DOES NOT QUIT!!!! note:he epitomizes Packer greatness,when an anonymous Packers' player said in the 60's,"we do not lose,but we run out of time..."*  *quote is in the book,"Instant Replay",by Jerry Kramer...
