We got a FG attempt because our defense pinned Rodgers deep. We got a FG attempt because Deebo got us in position. Yes, JG made a few throws short over the middle. I would not call JG clutch based on that last drive. He did the minimum. The team was clutch. Jimmy does not get sole credit. Not even close.
NOBODY is saying that. The throws Jimmy made over the middle, were a necessary part of the Win. Did he win this game by himself? Hell no. But he delivered the ball between the 20s effectively , despite 2 drops right on the money to #85, then had Deebo drop one, then aiyuk, plus another and that was just to start the game with 3 or 4 three-and-outs. At one point in 2nd qtr we were -12 yds to 152 for GB. But when we were between the 20s and needed a completed 3rd down or another 1st down, JG performed. When the R side of the OL just turned into turnstiles, JG made some unwise throws to the flats…at least 3 that could have been INTs. But when OL held up he got the ball into the good hands guys, when we needed it.
The D won this game, hands down, but ST, of all people , gets equal praise, with blocked FG and blocked punt which we recovered and ran it into EZ. . JG managed to get the ball into our RBs hands, and then made the throws when we needed them. I would rather have him than anyone else managing our game at Qb. He did get us into range for the 2 FGs. AR, the great one, had ONE completion in the 2nd half. Near the end of the game GB had 52 yds total O in 2nd half to our 160 yds. Our QB, however, moved us up and down the field only to have penalties take us from their 5 yd line to the 25. We ended up wth Robbie's FG. But thru out the game when we needed that 3rd down and long, usually JG got it.
First qtr our boys had fumble fingers, but kittle caught fire, same for deebo, & aiyuk, once we got past the half. Robbie won it for us but D won the battle of trenches, and JG got us in position to kick the FGs. Jimmy did just fine and contributed to the W…but the heroes were Willis, Nick, Arden, Ward (block FG), DJJones, Arik, Omenihu, Key, Ebuk, et al. And Robbie was money. Our Qb directed traffic, completed passes when we needed them and contributed to the win.
Was it better to have had ARodgers as our QB? No thanks, I'll take JG . Know what else? Jimmy doesn't care if he is the hero or not. He kept the team together, and did his part. He helped our guys to win. He is the original team guy…glad he is OUR qB…yours too, believe it or not. Too bad you can't appreciate what JG did to help us win the last 3 games. All 3 games were true TEAM Ws.
For the 3rd game in a row, our DL , all 8 of those guys, just destroyed the opponents OL, setting us up for the W.
