Rodgers — and a lot of other buffoons — like to point the finger at coach Mike McCarthy’s play calling as the reason for that debacle. The thinking goes, the Packers were too conservative on their final two possessions before losing the lead.
They ran five times in six plays and didn’t pick up a first down on either possession.
Rodgers maintains that this is the reason why the Packers lost.
“We didn’t do anything those two series. Negative run, negative run and then slightly positive run and a punt. And then run, run, pass incomplete [and a punt].
