The article may as well just have been titled "Aaron Rodgers has dominated defenses" as opposed to "Aaron Rodgers has dominated Rod Marinelli defenses"

The guy is a damn good quarterback. If there is any coordinator that he doesn't have great numbers against I would wager that is an issue of sample size as opposed to anything else.

That's actually pretty good considering it's worse than his career numbers.

First thing I looked at, too. He's a dominating QB on a better team than the Lions or the Bears during much of that time. He's likely to dominate.

But, hey, if we can hold him to scoring in the mid-20s, sign me up.

Disagree. They are literally averaging 40 points a game at home. That number must come down, even if by just a touchdown, or we're cooked.

They put some big numbers up vs Philly and Chicago, they also lost to Buffalo. GB is a very good team people would have to be stupid to deny that but they can be beat. People are running around as if Dallas has no chance in this game like we don't have weapons of our own. Dallas has been avg over 40 points a game in the last 4 reg season games.

Yeah, I see 6 good to great games and 5 sub par games, I'd take those odds. Rodgers' team was 10-1 against Marinelli.

For a guy who throws essentially no interceptions, I see 5 of 11 games with an interception.

I also see two games against a team who managed to muster the worst record in NFL history, which may skew the statistics a tad.

Yeah, no way their defense is holding our offense to less than 24 points, even in 10 degree weather.

I don't think dominated is the right word. I would expect dominating performance, time in and time out, for somebody that has 'dominated' an opponent. There are some poor performances and a lot of great ones. And it's not like the Detroit and Chicago defenses were exactly stout during those years.

Looks like Marinelli suffered from a lack of offensive support, not domination by Rodgers.

And Rodgers dominates lots of people. He's a dadgum good quarterback.

don't get the relevance to the game with Dallas. and 8 of those games were by 10 points or less----guess that is domination in the Central division. Personally, domination to me is 3 or more TDs, but guess that would be only one game back in 2008 so it would not fit the narrative.

You know I looked at the numbers and yeah considering it's Rodgers that's not bad! I mean I'd throw out the Detroit games they got run by everybody they were terrible! Now I'm looking at those games with Chicago, held them once to 10 points only allowed over 30 once rest of the games they were around 21 & let's be real we're gonna have to score more than 21 point to win this game.

Like others - I'm failing to see the dominance there. Not a lot of points put up usually. Sounds good for us.

And this is a different group of guys, different attitude, different franchise....

Everything is DIFFERENT!

I would like to think that the Cowboys offense this year is better than the Lions and Bears offenses have been most of the past decade.

I was about to say the same. Six interceptions over that span? I'd love to see another 10-game sample size that has created that many INTs out of Rodgers.

If our offense holds on to the ball, like we usually do, then that number comes down.

If we go 3 and out and not continuously get first downs then they will score a lot of points.

I think you have to look at the fact that those teams did not have an offense capable of keeping pace with Green bays offense. A very good defense will start to wilt and give up plays if the offense is going 3 and out often.

I havent looked up the games to see but i would bet that in a lot of those games the lions and bears offensive units were putting the defense if a tough spot far too often.

This is 2015 so you can throw those stats in the garbage, as we take down Rodgers and the Packers.
