People see what they want I guess. To my eyes Jimmy put his team ahead with 37 seconds left on the clock and GB without any timeouts. 80 times out of 100 that's probably a win. He did his job at the end and wasn't even on the field when Rodgers abused our defense to put his team in a position to get that last second field goal. Not sure how that equates to Jimmy 'losing' the game. Besides I thought wins and losses were a 'team' stat. You guys can't keep having it both ways. If the team wins together than it loses together as well. I have no doubt at all that if Lance had been in on that last drive and scored people in here would be going on and on about how the defense let him down.
That's true with most QBs but Rodgers isn't most QBs. If the situation had been reversed I doubt that Jimmy could have done what Rodgers did. Not many QBs can. He made 2 good throws ( one very good throw) at a crucial time. Plus you had to consider that the Niner defense was vulnerable with all the injuries. That's why I wanted to see them take a little more time off that clock. They could have use dup another 11 seconds and then called time out and run that same play. If it didn't work they still had another timeout and could try a different play. If it succeeded like it did then there's 11 fewer seconds for Rodgers.
LOL, what? Jimmy just drove them on a long massive clutch game winning drive that should have iced the game.
If you gave Jimmy 37 seconds with no TO's with nobody covering Deebo, his primary read, within 15 yards twice, I'm fairly confident Jimmy could pull that off. With 37 seconds you only have time to hit your primary read.
Talk about a backwards way of thinking.
