Lefleur electing to go for a field goal like if their defense was the 2000 Ravens
Their defense did create 3 turnovers in the 2nd half
@@tamoiwilliams307 the point is that 2 minutes were left and all Brady had to do was get one 1st down. At least give Rodgers a chance instead of relying on the defense
Tbh though, Brady was having a terrible second half and they almost held him to a three and out, where Brady threw another bad pass, but it was nullified by the pass interference. I agree they should have gone for it but it wasn't as wild as steven A is making it out to be. Plus if they had gone for it, made it, made the 2pt conversion, Brady would still have had the ball for like a minute at the end with some of the best receivers in the league. All they need to do is get in field goal range and they'd win.
@@jonathanagyemang6385 he really bet on the goat to continue to struggle and won’t get a 1st down/ throw an interception... in the clutch no less when they are up so he ain’t got no pressure to throw... stupid
@@88981b but he almost did
Aaron Rodgers said “get me the ball back Defense” when it was 23-28 they did 3 times str8 he didn’t score that’s on Rodgers not a 4th down call
Oline was trash thou
Right? Everyone sayin that the down 8 4th down is what cost them 😂. Packers had so many chances to get the lead, im gonna call Aaron Rodgers the James harden of the nfl lol
LMFAOOOOOOOO EXACTLY BUT THEY WILL KEEP BLAMING EVERYTHING ELSE BUT THIS
Thsta hail marry goin in to half is what lost them the game
Exactly, I’m a huge packers and Aaron Rodgers fan but I’m sick of this narrative that Aaron has no help they Litteraly had every opportunity to win this game and the offense choked. Aaron has 0 excuses for that one.
Even mike mccarthy wouldnt known better than to kick that field goal. SMH
Except that Mike McCarthy did kick a FG in a similar situation. in 2014 at Miami, he kicked a FG with 4:90 left in the game to cut the lead to 24-20. Everyone screamed at him for it. His D got a stop and put it back in the hands of Rodgers. Rodgers took the team down the field and threw a TD pass to Andrew Quarless with 4 seconds left to beat the Dolphins 27-24.
@@chriskay1449 as a dolphins fan I remember that clear as day that hurt me so bad 😂
That's not why they lost. Rodgers had MULTIPLE chances to come back and win that game. HE CHOKED.
@@chriskay1449 bro that 4 minutes it was two minutes in the game
Facts lol
Max hit the nail on the head with this one. Rodgers had many opportunities in the 4th quarter and didn't execute.
2 of those drives started with sacks on bad protection
That's true but they gave him the out when they moved up to replace him. Once they did that it was ether going to be he lost cause of then or won inspite of them
Plenty of dropped passes with the ball on numbers, at least one for a would be TD
@@Casiemny Rodgers was 4/11 passing in the 4th
Fraudgers is a choker. Fr
Max has been killing it today
Lmao 😂
Nah. He’s wrong.
@@topsykretts2264 no hes not, Rodgers fate was in his own hands. And he folded. Its okay it happens man
@@ezraarcher5805 until the coach decided he was afraid to lose and kicked a meaningless field goal instead of trusting Rodgers to win him the game
@@shawnloni4341 yea coach messed up on the 4th down absolutely true. So I'm wondering who messed up on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd?
team couldn’t capitalize off of 3 INTs and a couple of red zone stops cost them the game smh
Okay and the refs didn’t help the Bucs at all 😂😂 2 penalties for 8 yards in a championship game, that’s the lowest of all time I guarantee you and I haven’t looked at any stats for it
The stat that matters the most is the W.
Those 3 interceptions should have been 21 points, I’m still hurting for the way this game ended. If luck was a person, it would be called Tom Brady
@@cell9899 as a falcons fan thats how i felt but worse, especially since 28-3 has been the biggest meme the past 4 years
Nobody is mentioning the nocall holding before the half, If it was called, the score at halftime would've been either GB 17 to TB 14, or GB 13 to TB 14, WITH GB getting the ball after halftime. It would've been a much different game because you know Rodgers would score getting the ball first in the second half. Either way the game would be different because Rodgers wouldn't have to make a tough comeback against a top 5 defense, with a stacked team overall.
If Peyton Manning did this, Stephen a would have called manning a choker
Manning was a choker, lol. How many times he one and done? 7? 8? Something like that.
Peyton manning the real GOAt
peyton DID do this, like A LOT. dude had SEVERAL #1 seeds and CAME APART. rodgers is ALREADY better than him
@@ryancalhoun2910 I’m not saying that Manning didn’t choke, he did. But all I’m saying is that when Manning did choke just like Aaron did yesterday, Stephen a would call him out on it. When Aaron does it, it’s everybody else me fault, not Aaron’s
Manning had more than one SB appearance. Rodgers still doesn’t.
Maholmes already has his 2nd.
Stephen A is moving on his hate to Maholmes now. 🤣
Max spitting facts imo🤷🏽♂️
Max went too hard on Stephen on this one 😂
Nah Steven A deserves it after all the times he's done it too Max. Don't dish it out if you cant take it
Nah SAS deserved to get schooled
Even as a packers fan max was 100% correct
Na SAS be sonning him so it’s fair
Max was right with his take
What about the 3 times they went to Adams when he CLEARLY had Lazard open across the middle.
Or when Lazard was wide open on a slant n let the ball go over his head without lookin up lmao
@Delvier Demma that was st. Brown
1-4 in nfc championship games and 7-8 in playoffs games since winning the super bowl
@Simon Kebede that 15-1 season where they lost to Elijah in Green Bay? Losing to Zona With Carson Palmer, and I just realized that he has losted to sf 3 times in the playoffs
0-4*
@@gqsmoove87 Elisha*
@Simon Kebede that Seahawks game is a complete choke I can accept the 9ers & falcons losses sincethey was obliviously out classed this one going in the choke category too
@Simon Kebede Bucs are not winning it all
Come home to SF Aaron. It definitely would be an upgrade from our current QB situation
Agreed.
Rodgers will finish his career with the 49ers
For Nick Bosa and a first rounder we got a deal
Facts! As a 9ERS fan since 88, I’m looking forward to this offseason! We could possibly get Rodgers, Stanford or Watson! Throw in Matt Ryan possibly. With a new qb and a healthy team we should bring back the heat
@@cornbread70s4 Rodgers and Stafford might be the only QBs we have a chance at tbh
Man Rodgers choked I’m sorry he miss 13 at the goal line when Rodgers was forcing throws to Adams and he had 13 wide open on the slant inside and then the last drive he had all the space he needed to run the all into the end zone but instead he again tried forcing the ball between 2 bucks players to Adam and luckily the pass wasn’t intercepted and the Defense stepped up and got 3 interceptions and the packers went 3 and out, 2 drives straight off the turnovers , Rodgers wasn’t good enough honestly
I would say Rodgers deserves about 10% of the blame for the loss, but that other 90% goes to the God awful play calling by LaFleur and terrible defensive schemes by Pettine. Mike Pettine needs to hit the highway right now
Aaron Jones choked Adams choked and Matt Lafleur choked
@@djshuffl3r Mike Pettine is who I'd blame for this, along with Kevin King, get a new DC next year and keep the offense and they are chilling,
@@djshuffl3r no percentages the “packers” lost. Aaron Rodgers didn’t lose Matt didn’t lose the team lost we always looking for someone to blame but in reality we just lost.
First off the defense put him in that position and the game isn’t even close if not for Aaron yes he missed Lazard but adams dropped a dime in the end zone and on those 2 3 n outs Rogers had no time to throw and was sacked twice and there was a missed pi and hold on mvs on second down and Lazard on third
Max is absolutely right, Aaron Rogers shoulda ran that last TD instead of trying to force it atleast he picks up positive yards
Please come to LA.
You live here in the off-season.
Why not just live here all year long?
CA will take his signing bonus lol
@@amyochoa3817 LMFAO
Yeah jalen Ramsey will make you cup cakes too on the weekends

Jokes kinda old my guy💯 A for effort tho!
Jokes overused, say something funny
Stephen look barely older than you take that hat off 😂
@@bigcity3865 like your mom
@@steezo328 something funny
Stephen A has to stop defending him when he doesn’t show up in the clutch and I love Aaron Rodgers he’s a bad man but he didn’t show up when it matter most and we have to hold him accountable for it plain and simple
Well if your oline aint holding up not much you can do lol you think he threw 50tds this year with pressure 😆😆😆
Aaron Rodgers is in my top 20 quarterbacks of all time he didn't make my top five or ten
Earlier in the broadcast, the announcers brought up the fact that Bruce ariens admitted to allowing Brady to coach the team while he sits back and watches. If Lafleur did that we would have a different outcome from that game....
12-3
They would’ve most likely lost by more lol. Aaron Rodgers has actually been called out by teammates for his lack of leadership and being self centered... Try to find any one of Brady’s teammates since high school who says something bad about him or his leadership, I’ll wait.
@@shutuppabs323 And the highest scoring offense. With a break out te and break out wr with the highest yards per catch. Aaron rodgers is out. the NFL is scripted. When Rodgers says he doesnt know the future i believe him. Obviously the packers fans want him to stay. The packers are owned by the fans. How does he not know?? the NFL keeps fueling this narrative propaganda out of espns mouth and the trolls are feeding it.
@@MrWilliama1993 Rodgers hasn'g been called out by any teammates. There are only two people who called him out and that was Greg Jennings and Jermichael Finley. Both of them are bitter has beens who were mad Rodgers wasn't throwing them the ball enough. and Jennings is bitter his career went in the toilet after he left GB. They don't count at all as they have massive biases.
@@howdyusa No he isn't and you are wrong on all counts. ESPN is fueling this by themselves. The NFL has NOTHING to do with it.
Max was spittin ALL FACTS
Max schooled Stephen A on this one
No he’s an idiot Rodgers was the only reason packers were in the game
@@Isaac-zh2cn no you're the idiot. the defense was making big plays, Rodgers and the offense couldn't capitalize
@@Isaac-zh2cn You’re a bigger idiot. The defense was the reason the packers were in this game.

Come out looking like big ben next season
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's better if he stays, so he can blame the Packers for holding him back.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i still dont understand how he came out looking like a greek god the next day after looking like jabba the hutt the day before
GB screwed Rodgers when they didn’t draft a WR in the first round. If he had that, they’d be in the SB.
Imagine Tee Higgins on that team
No they wouldnt lol
@@JesusFlores-rw8ry Tee Higgins isnt dropping that 2 pt conversion. And Im still surprised Tae dropped that TD
@Dontae James a 2nd option doesn't hurt
If rodgers converts on any of those brady picks they'd be in the SB
Why is SAS act like Rodgers was NEVER at fault this game?
Bc Rodgers is his guy haha
it was all rodgers fault.
Aaron Rodgers homecoming back to SF. Don’t even argue with me.
No
In your dreams
Nah
I don't see it, but man would that be the upgrade of the century, lol. Go from the worst QB ever to Aaron Rodgers.
New Orleans
Max spitting facts after facts today
The decision to kick a Field Goal on 4th & goal was an all time bad decision with Aaron Rodgers as your QB and knowing you needed a TD regardless.
same as rogers not running taking some yards closer to the goal line or perhaps getting the touchdown
See the effects of rodgers getting sacked (like most qbs get sacked) but rodgers comes unglued , like throwing into tight triple coverage with a clear path to the end zone , that is all on rodgers
dolphins, 49ers etc, every other Team would appreciate A Rod more than the Packers do.
I wish the Rams could snag him
@Kevin Smith dude had over 300 yards, 69% completion percentage, 3 tds, and his only int shouldn’t have even counted because of a missed holding call. He was the only reason they were even in a position to potentially win after Kevin king gave up two tds and Aaron jones fumbled to set the bucs up at the 10 yard line to go up by 18.
@@glf_craze4385 his defense got 3 turnovers and he did nothing in the NFC championship
It might be Rodgers in Frisco. Its going to be hard for Green Bay to persuade him to stay.
He would lose his big #1 WR connection with adams, that’s a big loss & drop off no matter where he goes
Aaron Rodgers will join Bill Belichick and become a new sith lord.
Oh God that would be scary
and bring balance to the galaxy
Ohh man lol
Wow 😳
Don't know if it's been already said, but First Take has the best puns on their headers when they're debating lol
Hope he leaves Green Bay they don’t deserve him there
Ok buddy how don’t we deserve him
I’m a browns fan but anybody would love Aaron Rodgers , i wouldn’t say the fans don’t deserve him it’s the management.
@@lisalukens8640 Exactly. People act like the Packers have been the Detroit Lions this past decade. Not saying Aaron Rodgers has what Peyton Manning, Brady, or Big Ben but he has played with plenty of pro bowlers and all-pro on the offensive line, has had some reliable, good enough receivers (Nelson, Driver, Jennings, Adams) and has some good enough running backs (Eddie Lacey, Starks, Jamal Williams, Aaron Jones). Now has the organization been going out of its way to find talent no and they don’t really have to. They draft fine enough. I’ll give them, the defense argument because it was bad prior to this year since 2010. But they had pro bowl/all-pro talent on that side of the ball too. The defense stepped up last night. Aaron Rodgers gets so many excuses and all the credit. He’s a first ballot hofer and a top 10 Quarterback of all time, but he deserves some blame. Aaron Rodgers gets worshipped too much.
They just went 13-3 back to back years with a top 2 oline good run game and solid D best wr and cb in the league but they don’t deserve him?
I love Brian Flores but to be fair, your coach lost the same amount of games this yr as Matt Lafleur has lost his whole coaching career lol
Rodgers was literally as much fault as the rest of everybody... defense gets back to back ints and u go 3 and out both times and on the 3rd down he coulda ran and then went for on 4th and 1 🤣🤣🤣🤣
350 passing with 3 tds and 1 pick 70 percent completion percentage and 4 dropped passes, sounds like it was his fault...
If I was Aaron Rodgers, I would want to be on the 49ers!
Maybe true but if you was Aaron Rodgers you wouldn't be in this comments section ☝😌
You wouldn’t just be saying that because you’re a 9ers fan would you 🧐
That’s a team that could compete with KC
@@NoonyJW im actually a Giants fan 🤫
Totally not unbiased. 49ers are trash and finished last in the division
People give franchises a hard time when they don’t have a succession plan in place after a big time QB.... yet SAS blames the Pack for drafting a potential successor to Rodgers....
As a bears fan, I’m loving this 😂
Some say that everytime Aaron Rodgers loses in the NFC Championship game, Stephen A Smith’s hairline recedes
"Matt LeFleuuuuuuur" 😭
Max out here spittin facts
A-Rod didn't give up a 40yd TD with 6 seconds to go in the First Half! 😏😏😏
@Kevin Smith I didn't over look that either. The Game had it's moments for GB to take over and capitalize and they didn't.
Rodgers to the Bears.
I’m with Max on this one
Well put Max! Love it
Again Stephen A..you are on point..this should make it easy..all teams should be on alert...
THANK YOU MAX!! As a Packer fan I completely agree. That was on RODGERS.
Imagine A-Rod in Washington
I think it's more likely we get Deshaun Watson or Stafford but that would be amazing!
Or 49’ers
@@LasBlancasComps i'd honestly rather have deshaun than A-Rod because of his youth matching the youth of our team
Regardless of blame, the situation reminds me of a funny quote from Hall Of Famer Steve Young..
“Field Goals are like kissing your Sister. It’s not going to get you anywhere”.
They 1st round pick was completely healthy and didn’t play a single snap. I’d be pissed if I was Rodgers. That first round pick could have been a pass rush or corner or another receiving weapon Ijs
Coming from a Packers fan. If I’m Aaron Rodgers I’ll leave too.
Eh
He’s not going anywhere
@@vincentmahonie3712 you never know tbh
@@vincentmahonie3712 he’s not leaving. Already announce kt
Rodgers to the 49ers already 🏈! That's 3 Super Bowls 🥣 right ✅ there! 🏆🏆🏆🤷🏽♂️
No
Nah...to the Saints.
Rodgers is who he always been with the exception of his one super bowl: A career underachiever in the clutch. He had three chances and blew it. He's just not good enough under pressure for his career. It doesn't help because of how much his teammates tend to dislike him. It's the complete opposite for Brady.
It’s funny, Lefleur putting Rogers on the hot seat is ptob what made Rogers perform so well. Max is right here. Rogers can’t really make excuses this time
The NFL is a business. They're entitled to do business and he's entitled to take his business elsewhere. Leave your feelings out of business is rule number 1. I hope he moves and shows them like Brady has done.
I feel like he could play another 4-5 seasons and if he wants that elusive 2nd ring he’s gotta go somewhere else. I think 2021 will be his last szn in greenbay if they don’t at least make the sb. Much lower dead cap hit if they trade him in 2022
Aaron come to Chicago😂😭
Highly doubt that but he should leave the nfc to the afc
@@killsyou6886 colts
j317 or he should go to the titans
All this drama from SAS got my granny watching him on her soaps lol
Arron Rodgers has a top wideout, a top running back, arguably the best O-line in football, and a top 10 defense that gave him 3 turnovers he didn’t score on. This narrative that Rodgers has no help is ridiculous.
If he leaves you heard it here first hes going to the Rams
I got him going to the 49ers if does leave!
We have a sports show called Sports Now with Darius & Aiden and we would really appreciate it if you would check us out!
If you're looking to make millions and retire i don't think he wants to give CA his money.
Maybe Cowboys. He could definitely win that division. Then hope he doesn't choke in playoffs.
Stephen a smith should hop off Aaron Rodgers nuts. he’s a bandwagon Green Bay fan
He’s not a Green Bay fan he’s a Steelers fan who likes Arron Rodgers
He’s not a packers fan
mystic malonze cuz he sees his talent but no one else does ig
Could have left before he signed that deal. 1 superbowl appearance in 10 years. He knew what he was signing up for.
1st time to see Max have the last word and a mic drop
I think he’s gonna go to Detroit in a trade for Matt Stafford
What??? They in the same division why tf would they trade wit eachother
I guess Stephen A. Needs to retire that saying “he’s a baaaaaaaaaad man! Cause the real bad man was a nice man but under the shadows was something else at least in the first half not so much the 2nd
You can’t have a good defense if you have a top paid offensive line that’s not how it works, u can’t ask a better constructed offensive than this they didn’t execute when it mattered
Well said Max!
"Generous p.i. call."
He ripped the man shirt
The refs were ignoring PIs all game. 👍
The refs kept their flags in their pockets the whole game. There was a lot of physical play in the secondary that they didn’t call. Also, wasn’t even a catchable ball.
Bruh. Its a difference when you playing press man cvg trying to decide if its beyond 5 yds vs an obvious game on the line ripped undershirt and jersey 10-15 yds down the field. And if I remember correctly, the packers got a weak helmet to helmet and a pi that setup a td.
I swear Aaron's gonna pull a Favre in the offseason and go
"This is the end." and retire,
Then a few months later we hear the news that he's been traded to like the 49ers. And yes....as a Lions fan, I would love for him to pull an actual Favre and go to the Vikings so I could laugh, but it ain't realistic lol.
The only way to one-up farve would be to go to Da bears lolbvs
that boy max out here cooking stephen a up this morning, i’ve never agreed with him more before since this show started
Wow.. I agree with Max .never thought I would see the day lol.
Packers are gonna take another 1st round QB to get another MVP season out of Rodgers
if he even stays
I’m starting to think Stephen A on Rodgers payroll. Lol
If madden started putting cut scenes like this in franchise mode...
It would be a really good game.
Rodgers chocked. Brady really had 3 interceptions and Rodgers still couldn't capitalize 🤨
Stephen A knows nothing about sports😂.Stephen A = Comedy😂
Chicago is the answer to where Rodgers should go.
Facts
I already forgot about Jordan Love....
Are we forgetting the fact that the Packers defense picked off Tom Brady three times Aaron Rodgers in the offensive didn’t capitalize on any of them
Plus didn't even try to run the ball on 1st and goal like three times
@@Mraquanetchris true
All three pics were deep in Green Bay's territory they were just like punts
Stephen A is right, this was the coach’s fault.
Aaron Rodgers to the 49ers 2021 watch out.
I'm gonna have to say it's the 4th down call by the coach
0:28
Stephen A: And I took that personally
Rodgers to San Francisco
They both made good points.
Green Bay now has 2 QB's that could've runned and choose to throw and it cost them a trip to the SB: Favre with the Vikes against the Saints and Rodgers yesterday.
Thank you Max for not giving A-Rod a pass. Dude seems to choke most of the time and it seems the blame is always on someone else. The defense took the ball 2 times in the 4th Quarter. Rodgers couldn’t capitalize.
I’m with SAS on this one. 100 percent.
Murphy Bunting getting away with murder all night is the reason they lost , it’s amazing i haven’t heard his name .
That interception in the first half (he was holding)
And that hold on Lazard 3rd down was the 2 most momentum swinging plays in that game and it wasn’t close
Nobody is mentioning the nocall holding before the half, If it was called, the score at halftime would've been either GB 17 to TB 14, or GB 13 to TB 14, WITH GB getting the ball after halftime. It would've been a much different game because you know Rodgers would score getting the ball first in the second half. Either way the game would be different because Rodgers wouldn't have to make a tough comeback against a top 5 defense, with a stacked team overall.
What about the two false starts on Aaron Rodgers didn't get call Don't mention those though do you
Max got some hair on his chest today lmao
I can’t imagine Aaron Rodgers leaving the packers
Max I agree with you
Bad call to not go for it on 4th down, but Max is right. Where would he go to find a better situation?
ESPN - World leader in Sports
Also ESPN - same video audio issue for 8 months
This is the best take by max in his career.
This is the first time he beat Stephen a on a debate Roger's garbage
Max keeping It real!!!!
Lefeuer played a percentage with his decision to kick the field goal when he saw his quarterback was making poor decisions. Rogers should have run the ball. He had enough daylight in front of him to at least get to the one yard line and he made that decision many times during the regular season that he scored on but on this play when so much was on the line he choked. Lefluer lost confidence in his offense and kicked the F.G. In fact the entire packers team choked yesterday from coaches to players possibly destroying the confidence this team had in each other. I think for the sake of the team Rogers should seek a trade if he can work it out with a team who is ready to make that move and give Rogers a chance to earn a super bowl and the packers can start to rebuild with Jordan Love at quarterback
I’m with max on this one!
4th from the 9 and getting the 2 pt conversion almost impossible. Esp after 3 plays prior. Shoulda ran on 3rd
He wants out with a top 5 wideout a great Te a good rb core a top 10 defense and for scoring 6 points off 3 turnovers?
Trying to argue for ANYTHING other than going for it on 4th down is like trying to argue night is day and the moon actually IS made of cheese!
That 3rd & goal play in the 4th is the nuanced difference between mahomes & Rodgers , pat no doubt runs that & puts his body on the line for a chance at the Super Bowl or he manipulates the defense & finds an open guy
How would a TD help if they never got the ball back.
