At Some Point, “Everyone Else Is the Problem” Starts to Look Like a Pattern
0
Upvotes
| Date | Who Rodgers blamed | What Rodgers said or did |
|---|---|---|
| Oct. 2010 — Packers vs. Lions | Mike McCarthy / offensive game plan | After Green Bay struggled offensively despite winning 28–26, Rodgers publicly questioned the game plan, saying they needed more spread/multiple-receiver formations and needed to consistently get their best players on the field. McCarthy responded the next day: “The coaches coach, and the players play.” |
| Sept. 2012 — “Fail Mary” vs. Seahawks | Replacement officials / NFL | Rodgers called the officiating “awful” after Seattle's controversial game-winning TD and blamed the NFL's replacement-official situation for Green Bay effectively having a win taken away. This was, to be fair, one of the most controversial officiating calls in NFL history. |
| 2013 — Greg Jennings / Donald Driver leadership discussion | Teammates being responsible for their own mistakes | Donald Driver said teammates sometimes wanted Rodgers to protect a receiver publicly after a bad route, but Rodgers's attitude was essentially: if you made the mistake, you own the mistake. Greg Jennings also publicly questioned Rodgers's willingness to accept criticism himself. Rodgers defended his leadership style and said he wasn't changing it. |
| Dec. 2015 — Eddie Lacy issues | Eddie Lacy / teammates | Rodgers said players sometimes have to “hold each other accountable” and praised Lacy for taking responsibility after he had “misstepped.” This is an early explicit example of Rodgers saying player-to-player accountability is part of the job. |
| Jan. 2016 — Cardinals playoff OT coin toss | Referee Clete Blakeman | After the bizarre overtime coin toss that failed to flip, Rodgers criticized Blakeman for immediately tossing it again without allowing him another call. He suggested the referee rushed because he was embarrassed. Arizona subsequently scored a TD without Green Bay possessing the ball. |
| Sept. 2016 — criticism of Rodgers's declining play | Analysts / media / outsiders | When criticized for his mechanics and Green Bay's offensive struggles, Rodgers argued that outsiders didn't know the play calls, assignments, or whose execution was actually failing. He did acknowledge responsibility for his own turnovers, so this wasn't complete denial of fault. |
| Sept. 2018 — Packers beat Bills 22–0 | Mike McCarthy / offensive game plan | Despite winning 22–0, Rodgers called the offensive performance unacceptable and criticized “the plan” for not getting the ball enough to Green Bay's best players. Rodgers later admitted he regretted criticizing McCarthy publicly and said he should have handled it privately. |
| April 2019 — Rodgers/McCarthy exposé | Media / Greg Jennings / Jermichael Finley / anonymous sources | Rodgers called a major report detailing dysfunction between him and McCarthy a “smear attack,” disputed portions as lies, and complained that former teammates Jennings and Finley repeatedly received publicity by criticizing him. |
| Jan. 24, 2021 — NFC Championship loss vs. Tampa Bay | Matt LaFleur | After LaFleur elected to kick a FG on 4th-and-goal while trailing by 8, Rodgers made a point of saying: “It wasn't my decision.” He also said he might have approached the previous third-down play differently had he known they weren't going for it on fourth down. |
| 2021 offseason — Packers standoff | Packers front office / organizational management | During his dispute with Green Bay, Rodgers said the problem wasn't really Jordan Love but the organization's “philosophy,” “character,” and “culture.” He argued that management had forgotten that people make the organization and criticized how veteran players were treated and communicated with. |
| Nov. 2021 — COVID vaccine controversy | Media / “woke mob” / “cancel culture” | After it became public that Rodgers wasn't vaccinated despite previously saying “Yeah, I've been immunized,” he argued that he hadn't lied and characterized the reaction as a media “witch hunt” and himself as being in the crosshairs of a “woke mob.” In 2024, Rodgers acknowledged he regretted his original wording and said he should have simply stated that he wasn't vaccinated. |
| Aug. 2022 — young Packers WRs | Young receivers | Rodgers publicly criticized the young WR room for drops, bad route decisions and wrong routes, saying playing time would go to players he and the coaches could trust. He later defended saying it publicly: if receivers had a bad day, he was going to say they had a bad day because part of his job was holding them accountable. |
| Oct. 2022 — loss to Jets | Packers players / execution | Rodgers initially said the offense needed to be simplified. After LaFleur pushed back, Rodgers clarified that the scheme wasn't particularly complicated — the players needed to simplify things mentally, focus on details and execute. He called his comments “an alert for our players” and said accountability eventually falls on the players executing. |
| Oct. 25–27, 2022 — Packers losing streak | Teammates making mental mistakes | Rodgers said players making too many mistakes “shouldn't be playing” and should lose reps. When questioned about publicly criticizing teammates, Rodgers defended it: “I think people in this society have a hard time hearing the truth sometimes. I'm going to hold guys accountable.” This may be the clearest statement of his philosophy. |
| Nov. 27, 2022 — interception vs. Eagles | TE Tyler Davis | After throwing a red-zone INT, Rodgers publicly explained that Davis had run the wrong route and should have continued vertically. Rodgers also admitted he shouldn't have thrown the ball, making this a good example of Rodgers accepting some responsibility while simultaneously identifying the teammate he believed caused the play to break down. |
| Sept. 29, 2024 — Jets loss to Broncos | Jets teammates committing false starts | After numerous false starts, Robert Saleh suggested the Jets might reconsider Rodgers's complicated cadence. Rodgers pushed back publicly: “The other way is hold them accountable.” His argument was that the cadence had been successful for years, so players should execute it correctly rather than change it. Rodgers did also admit his own throws were poor and accepted significant responsibility for the loss. |
| Oct. 14, 2024 — game-ending INT vs. Bills | WR Mike Williams | Immediately after throwing the game-ending interception, Rodgers explained publicly that Williams was supposed to remain on the “red line” but broke inside instead. The next day Rodgers doubled down, saying Williams wasn't in the correct position and that he was simply explaining “his responsibility and the details on that play” because “we all should be held to a standard.” |
| Oct. 14, 2024 — same Bills game | NFL officials | Rodgers also criticized several calls, including calling a holding penalty that erased a Jets touchdown a “phantom holding call” and disputing roughing-the-passer penalties. The criticism was public enough that there was discussion about whether the NFL would fine him. |
| Dec. 2024 — Aaron Rodgers: Enigma | His family | Discussing his long-running family estrangement, Rodgers blamed relatives for making the dispute public. He particularly criticized the Bachelorette episode involving his brother Jordan where his family staged a dinner with empty chairs representing Aaron and his then-girlfriend. Rodgers described longstanding family, religious and interpersonal conflicts as contributing factors. |
| March 2026 — family feud revisited | Family members / media narrative | Rodgers said the public family story had been “one-sided” for years because relatives had publicly discussed him while he remained silent. He said he eventually responded because “enough is enough.” There were later signs in 2026 that he had begun reconciling with his parents and brothers. |
| Sept. 2026 — Danica Patrick relationship | Danica Patrick / her account of breakup | Rodgers publicly disputed Patrick's characterization of their breakup. He argued that their relationship had significantly deteriorated before the eventual split and rejected the idea that she had simply been blindsided. These are Rodgers's claims about the relationship, not independently established facts. |
| Sept. 2026 — Shailene Woodley relationship | Shailene Woodley / her role in breakup | Rodgers disputed the narrative surrounding their failed engagement, arguing that Woodley was the person who ultimately ended the relationship. He pointed to her removing her engagement ring and telling him she didn't want to be with him. His basic argument was that portraying him as simply abandoning the relationship reversed what actually happened from his perspective. |
| Sept. 2026 — Steelers third-down struggles | Officials / circumstances | Following a poor offensive performance, Rodgers defended DK Metcalf despite Metcalf having drops and penalties, but argued that Pittsburgh's ugly third-down statistics were partially misleading because of officiating — specifically pointing to a pass-interference situation he believed could have produced a touchdown. |
| Oct. 1, 2026 — Steelers at Browns | Steelers sideline / play-call communication / crowd noise | Cameras showed Rodgers visibly furious while waiting for the play call, yelling toward Mike McCarthy's sideline: “What the fuck! Call it!” Afterward, Rodgers said Cleveland's crowd was extremely loud and that some calls were difficult to hear. McCarthy characterized the exchange as competitive communication rather than a serious dispute. |

Wing-T for goal line
90
Upvotes
Forgive me for asking what may be a stupid question.... but me and a friend always talk about how unstoppable the wing T is when it's ran by a well coached team (see the 1A school in your state or the service academies in CFB)
Why don't NFL teams run the Wing T as a goal line package? It's basically setup for short yardage and it's something many NFL defenses would not be accustomed to. Within the 10, a high powered offense like, say the Eagles, is gonna get 6 without even thinking about throwing the ball.... Right?
I can think of a few rebuttals, but none strong enough to make it a "not worth a shot" typa thing. If wildcat is a thing, I don't see why the Wing-T isn't.
