    I guess they expected their defense to get them the ball back.

    Wouldn't have mattered. The G.O.A.T would've have gotten as many 1st downs as needed.

    No explanation. Even if they did not get the td on fourth down?
    Bucs are pinned inside the 10, and Packers still have all three timeouts

    I think the third down play was the one that told the story.
    Rogers could have ran and gotten close to the endzone.
    He chose to force that pass

    i dont understand why rogers did not run on 3rd down 1st, if not a td he would have been close to get in on 4th down

    Awful coaching..These guys get huge bucks to to make ridiculous decisions.

    He sabotaged his team by not going for it..one bullet left in the gun and he fires it to the sky.

    There is no competent explanation. Except maybe that Democrats are in charge now and we all need to get used to stupid and unexplicable things happening..

    Goes down as one of the WORST CALLS IN NFL HISTORY.

    Rodgers had a clear path 2 the right side end zone if he kept running. Maybe he doesn't make it all the way but definitely gets within the 3 yard line. Instead he threw a bad pass on the run. That was on Rodgers not the coach. If he kept it and ran then they definitely go for it on 4th.
    Blame goes on both qb and coach

    Even if you don't get the TD on 4th down(which Rogers should have ran it in on 3rd down) You put Brady and his team near the goal line, so stop them then.

    One of my friends is a die-hard Packers' fan and he is on Facebook trying to justify the call. I got tired of arguing with him.

    Aaron Rogers kept trying to force the ball to Adams and it cost them.

    That was crazy. I feel bad for Rodgers. To go for it would have been the obvious right call, the bold call - and the call the media (and everyone else) would not have 2nd guessed. Very curious...It was like he did it for the sole reason of screwing my Bucs -6.5 in mind...

    I just got done telling my cousin the same exact thing!...He had a lot of grass in front of him on that 3rd and goal play...If just pulls the ball down and runs, he might score or at the very least get it inside the 5yd line with a very manageable 4th down and goal...

    Exactly and if they don't get it on 4th then Tampa is backed up on say the 2 or 3 yard line! Rodgers was to blame more than the coach kicking the fg..although I hated the fg call

    Only explanation is they didn’t trust Rodgers. To get it done but either way like said the only difference was needing 8 and needing just the 6. I think it was a good decision personally. My logic is either way they needed a defensive stop.... and the ball back would you rather have the ball needing 6? Or take your chances backed up and needing 8? Idk hard call really

    They wouldn't need a stop if they scored and got the 2 pt conversion. There's no logic in kicking a FG, even if it was 4th and 30, in that spot. The game rewards the offense much more than the defense. Throw the ball up for grabs if you have to because you might get a flag thrown by a blind ref.

    Guys the Texans don't have a coach yet. You all need to appy for the job as you all have enough plays to call in situations like this.
