Aaron Rodgers has dominated Rod Marinelli defenses

[Doomsday101]

Where is the stat that Rodgers has lost at Lambeau in the playoffs a few times.

He is 1-2 in post season games at Lambeau. Totally unbeatable. LOL

People need to check out this article on BtB. The defense was leaving guys WIDE open and Stafford failed to hit them. If they do that against Rodgers, he will shred this defense with ease.

 

[perrykemp]

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

10 degrees is one thing Theogt. 10 degrees in blustery conditions is something altogether different.

24 points is a lot in those kinds of conditions.

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

How does somebody write this article without even considering this?

Aaron Rodgers has dominated Rod Marinelli defenses

Not only is this weekend's Packers-Cowboys game the first time the two teams have squared off in a playoff game at Lambeau Field since the Ice Bowl in 1967, it is also a chance for Aaron Rodgers to once again face a defense coached by Rod Marinelli. The former Lions coach and Bears assistant head coach and defensive coordinator is now the defensive coordinator in Dallas.

From 2008 through 2012, Rodgers faced a Marinelli-coached defense 10 times in the regular season and once in the playoffs, acquitting himself very nicely, to say the least.

Total dominance. Despite facing defenses that, on average, ranked in the top-third of the NFL by Football Outsiders' DVOA, Rodgers completed more than two-thirds of his passes for over 8.0 yards per attempt, and had a passer rating that would rank as the second-best all-time for quarterbacks who have thrown at least 500 passes in their career.

Seems like Marinelli had a decent handle on him in his first five games with Chicago. Rodgers had only three TD pass and four interceptions in those games. Don't know if Rodgers figured him out after that or if Marinelli lost key personnel. But considering the defensive personnel Dallas has, I won't be surprised if Rodgers has another strong effort against a Marinelli defense, just hope it's not strong enough to overcome what Dallas does on offense.

Losing Urlacker and others really hurt the Bears. Their defense has being going downhill fast the past few years.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Hmmm...Rodgers versus Marinelli equals dominance by Rodgers. Got it!

 

[calico]

Like most games, our offense will decide the game.

Exactly. The key to the game is the cowboys controlling it with the run game. Which ever offense controls the game wins easy IMO.

 

[perrykemp]

Yes but Marinelli has never had as talented of a defense as he does this year in Dallas.

Advantage Dallas.

 

[fifaguy]

Streaks are made to end. No reason why the Cowboys can't get it done this weekend.

 

[gbrittain]

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

I had to chuckle when I noticed the same thing you just pointed out. Shoot don't get me wrong, a 104.3 QB rating is outstanding but it is still 1.7 points behind his career QB rating of 106.

still being optimistic but...

Packers-Cowboys: Aaron Rodgers has dominated Rod Marinelli defenses

(Pro-Football-Reference)
Total dominance. Despite facing defenses that, on average, ranked in the top-third of the NFL by Football Outsiders' DVOA, Rodgers completed more than two-thirds of his passes for over 8.0 yards per attempt, and had a passer rating that would rank as the second-best all-time for quarterbacks who have thrown at least 500 passes in their career.

If we isolate just the seven games from the three seasons Marinelli coordinated a top-four defense with the Bears, Rodgers had a 6-1 record, completed 164-of-238 passes (68.91 percent) for 1,879 yards (7.89 per attempt; 268.4 per game), 16 touchdowns and six picks, all of which was good for a 101.5 passer rating. That is still all-time great production.

Looking ahead to Sunday, this season's Dallas defense is much closer to that 2009 Bears unit than it is to any of the three teams that succeeded it. The Cowboys finished the 2014 season ranked 22nd in defensive DVOA, and also 22nd against the pass. That Bears squad, which finished 21st in overall defense DVOA, was 22nd against the pass as well.

The major difference between those two Marinelli defenses comes when you dig deeper into the passing DVOA numbers. The 2009 Bears ranked 20th in pass DVOA against No. 1 receivers, 22nd against No. 2's, 16th against slot receivers, 10th against tight ends and 22nd against running backs coming out of the backfield. This season's Cowboys were similarly weak against No. 1's (15th), No. 2's (29th), tight ends (10th) and running backs (13th), but they were very, very strong against slot receivers, ranking third in pass defense DVOA.

Orlando Scandrick and Sterling Moore handled the majority of the snaps in the slot for the Cowboys, who allowed a quarterback rating of just 82.2 on passes to the slot. They'll have their hands full against the Packers, though, because Randall Cobb might just be the best slot receiver in the NFL. No wideout in the league had more catches (75), yards (1,067) or touchdowns (12) out of the slot than Cobb.

I will say that our We-fense has done it's job more times than not. Just sayin.

Pleasantly, surprisingly yes.

 

[xvendettax914]

its quite notable those marinelli team OFFENSES, struggled to put points on the board.

 

[DFWJC]

Those are typical Aaron Rodger numbers actually.
Nothing unusually good for him.

 

[windward]

It's already given the Cowboys current defense is no match for Rodgers, but how many of those Chicago/Detroit teams had a decent offense? Probably zero,,, keep him off the field!

That's what I was going to say. I se a lot of those games had teams scoring 14 or fewer points . That isn't our offenses MO.

 

[slick325]

Those Bears defenses were really good! Not taking the dreadful Detroit teams into account, the most of the games were close.

 

[links18]

Aaron Rodgers has dominated most defenses he's played...

Except Buffalo, what's their secret?

 

[perrykemp]

Except Buffalo, what's their secret?

Buffalo led the NFL with 54 sacks -- most of it from their front 4.

Againt GB, they Buffalo rushed 4 almost exclusively, almost never blitzed, and dropped 7.

 

[RoboQB]

Yep, they aren't playing the Lions of 2008 or "da Bears" of '09-'12.... They're playing the Dallas 'freaking' Cowboys!!!
The Road Warriors of the NFL!!!
