That one was on the receiver. That was well within what would be routinely catchable by an NFL receiver, and the receiver didn’t adjust well enough on his route to get under it. I think he probably wasn’t able to track it in the air effectively to adjust.
A lot of what we think of as accurate passing when it comes to bombs like that is actually receivers who are skilled enough to read the ball in the air and be in the perfect spot to grab it when it comes down.
The receiver had to “adjust” because it wasn’t a good pass. As I said, yes it was catchable, but if Stafford puts it where he should’ve, it’s a TD.
His case is iron-clad in my mind. The only reason to give it to Rodgers is if you admit the MVP = Best QB award.
Just like his State Farm coworker.
As much as anything, this is the difference between elites like Brady and Rodgers and good guys like Stafford and the rest. Throwing balls that aren’t just “catchable” but by throwing balls that are so on target that you have to try to drop it. It’s difference between staying in bounds, having a big YAC or not getting tattooed by a safety. On time and on target are everything, if the receiver has to slow down, reach or catch while off balance it costs the offense 5-10 yards and in some cases worse.
I believe Rodgers is now 11-10 in the postseason.
You’d have to do a fair bit is research to verify, but I’m pretty sure his team was favored in every one of those loses
I’m lazy and just repeating what I heard on the radio today. 
Six of those 10 losses were on the road. Doubtful if GB was favored in more than one or two of those games.
They were favored by 8 versus the Niners in 2020. They were favored by 3 over the Bucs last year. They were a 4,5 point dog to the Falcons in 2017 and a 7 point dog in Arizona the year prior. They were a 3.5 favorite in Seattle the year prior. Clearly they weren’t always favored but they definitely were a regular road favorite.
Kittle is a beast, holding on to that TD after that hit.
Well, that was a really difficult 2nd half to watch as a Chefs fan. Everything completely unraveled, and Mahomes’ decision-making skills evaporated. Congrats to the Bengals - Burrow has seemed inevitable since he blew our doors off in Week 15.
Last year’s game against the Bucs was in Green Bay.
I will admit that I am surprised they were favored in Seattle in January of 2015 (I’m assuming that’s the game to which you are referring), as both teams were 12-4, and Seattle was the #1 seed in the NFC that season.
According to this site, Seattle was favored by 8.5 points.
Stafford lucks out with a dropped interception.
And now Jimmy gets the same break.
Ladies and Gentlemen: Jimmy Garoppolo.
Wow, another great weekend of football.
Not sure who to root for next. Would like for Stafgord to get a ring, but Cincinnati real could use one too
Nothing good should ever happen to Stan Kroenke. Go Bengals!!!
And Detroit’s First round pick drops one more tier toward useless.
