Being realistic here, we've been incredibly fortunate that QB's have struggled mightly against us in regards to accuracy.

The lack of our pass rush is ugly, and had Wash, SF, or maybe even GB been accurate with the football, those games could easily have been losses. Now granted, we forced the issue, but at the same time, if NFL QB's in those games act like NFL QB's in regards to accuracy, it could be a much dif story.

We only rush 4, and giving QB's all day in the pocket is just playing with fire. If they're on, you're playing a defense (bend dont break) that is predicated on the opposing QB making a mistake. But when the field shrinks in the red zone, I prefer this method, just not between the 20's.

But what if the defense is doing something to create some of these inaccuracy issues?

Not all of them- no, but far more than what we're use to seeing.

Once is happenstance. Twice gets your attention... Three times is a trend.

I'm just not buying that the Cowboys are facing an "inaccurate QB" that week, which seems to be an every week occurrence.

I think the defense is having something to do with that.

According to a tweet I saw, Rodgers faced pressure on only 13% of his drop backs yesterday.

That's pretty awful if true.
Don't know if that's correct but early he had plenty of time but in the 4th they got pressure and made a huge impact. The score does help the defense when a team has to pass every down

Yeah, I agree, that's why I said "Now granted, we forced the issue" meaning, that we forced them into that. However, I think if we're being objective, it's a bit of both. And if a QB is able to be on his A game, this defense can get absolutely shredded. QB's just have ALL DAY in the pocket against us.

It's actually the Blueprint on how to beat Rodgers. Rush 3 stay in your land don't allow him to scramble and play coverage

No blueprint for ANY QB is to not have pressure on him. Come on now. It's one thing to have a blueprint not to blitz, but it's another to suggest the blueprint is to only pressure a QB 13% of the time.

It actually is. The Packers WRs can't separate and the only way they can is when Rodgers scrambles. It's the reason why Rodgers has had literally ALL DAY to throw in every game this year. I would normally agree that it's absurd to say or think that. But it's the best way to play Rodgers at the moment. It has actually been a topic of discussion here in Packer land
