Aaron Rodgers’ family feud in spotlight after NFC championship loss

When Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was being sacked from behind by Cowboys safety Jeff Heath, he didn’t lose the ball he had in his right hand.

“The spy guy is just a delayed rush”, the defensive assistant said.

Different versions have emerged over why Rodgers doesn’t talk to his family, or why his parents don’t go to see any of his games. Though Rodgers was as competitive as nearly anyone Jagodzinski has ever coached, he rarely got to play. Rodgers will get most of the glory, obviously, but the Packers have done a masterful personnel job this season with various moving parts on offense.

Jagodzinski said in training camp that every pass thrown by each quarterback was charted.

Can Rodgers scorch it another week as a four-point underdog?

And, he said, Brady did end up answering another from Wolfson about what it’s like to be going back to the Super Bowl.

This season, Ryan led the National Football League in passer rating at 117.1, the fifth-best ever, followed by Brady at No. 2 and Rodgers at No. 4, with Roethlisberger No. 11. His Hail Mary helped dispatch the Giants in the wild-card round this year.

“We ran into a buzz saw”, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. For the umpteenth time in his Hall of Fame career, Rodgers made the remarkable look routine. Ryan also is front-runner for league MVP, and rightly so. “He basically ignored it and practiced as usual – and played as usual”. Jagodzinski laughs when remembering the first time they ran the drill during the spring.

AR: Well, if you wanted to read about offense, here’s your chance. Aaron Rodgers “shot” was ranked to the like’s of Babe Ruth and Broadway Joe Namath, but that came crashing down in the worst way in the Georgia Dome’s last game it’ll ever see. Evidence comes when you rank the four remaining quarterbacks in terms of handling Sunday’s playoff pressure: Ryan comes in fourth. One must truly appreciate the game, which is about to be played, with Peyton already retired; there may never again be such a matchup as Big Ben and Brady.

Three things happened early on in Atlanta’s 44-21 rout that kept the injury-riddled Packers from making it the shootout so many expected. Good luck figuring that one out. Pittsburgh’s skill position stars, running back Le’Veon Bell and wide receiver Antonio Brown, are capable of tearing apart any defense.
