But Rodgers complete only 60% of his passes--low for him and only 251 yards---and by making Pack go length of
the field it shortened the game--a game the Pats could win
Belichick knew that if they gave up quick points he had no shot with Hoyer and Zappe.
Yeah, there were some gimmes but they got a pick 6 . . . that was off coverage
had they been more aggressive it may have been 45-24
they did play some man - so it wasn't all off, on the
one TD Pats lined up on man
on this--Rodgers threw a back shoulder TD

Belicheat used the off coverage quite a bit too. I was a little surprised to see the CB's playing off when GB only needed a few yards to get some important first downs/yards.
You could almost predict that AR was going to throw to the WR who was being covered by an 8 yard cushion every time. The pass was completed EVERY time. The announcers even commented it saying it was like giving AR a "freebie".
