OK so 3rd and 8 on the worst drive of the game, which is to say, the only drive where they scored. You know, the 8 and a half minute drive. Aaron scrambled for 4 yards on it. I think some others have looked and concluded that Lazard here wasn& #39;t his first read. That& #39;s fine, but...
He& #39;s open a LONG LONG TIME. We& #39;ll get back to that, but also, maybe Jamaal Williams is open for some kind of slant-like dumpoff here? No matter, that still would have been worse...
Because even if Aaron didn& #39;t see him earlier, Lazard read the scramble drill correctly and comes back to Rodgers, and is still WIDE open.
And Rodgers has bought himself time. He& #39;s made this throw on the run many times. And some receiver is also breaking open deep too. THERE ARE ONLY 2 RECEIVERS HE COULD BE LOOKING AT.
This is when he pulls it down and decides he would rather get 4 yards on 3rd and 8 than hit a wide open Lazard, who has been wide open literally the entire play, for an easy first down.
