Aaron Rodgers with a week off the last 2 seasons (4 games)

I got to thinking about what allowed the Packers to get things going last year as they sparked a late-season Super Bowl run. The thing that came to my mind was the week Rodgers got off from his concussion (which in my eyes was 2 weeks off since he only threw 11 passes in the Lions game) last year. When he came back, he just looked refreshed, every pass seemed to be more accurate, and his reads at the line got even better. I want to take a look at how Rodgers has performed with a week off in the last 2 seasons.
2010
Week 10 bye week
Week 11 vs. the Vikings:
Final score: 31-3
QB rating of 141.3
301 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs
Injured in week 14, missed week 15
Week 16 vs the Giants:
Final score: 45-17
QB rating: 139.9
404 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs
Week off for the Super Bowl
Super Bowl vs the Steelers:
Final score: 31-25
QB rating 111.5
304 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs
2011
Week 8 bye week
Week 9 at San Diego:
Final score: 45-38
QB rating: 145.8
247 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs
Average:
Points scored: 38
Average QB rating: 134.6
314 yards, 3.75 TDs, 0 INTs
If you take out the Super Bowl, which was against the best defense he could have faced, his numbers are unbelievable:
Points scored: 40.3
Average QB rating: 142.3 (139.9 was his lowest)
317 yards
4 TDs in every game
0 INTs in every game
I assume most quarterbacks are going to play better after a bye week, the whole team gets to rest, not just the QB. However in the Giants game last year, Rodgers was the one that got the rest, not the whole team, and the numbers are still great. I am also going to take a guess and say that other QBs don't average 134.6 QB ratings in their last 4 games after a week off. What really impressed me is that he threw for 4 TDs in three of the four games and 3 TDs in the other game, all of that while not throwing a single interception. He hasn't thrown a single interception after a week off in his last 4 games. Couple that with how well he plays in the playoffs and I expect him and the offense to do big things on Sunday. Now lets see how he does with 2+ full weeks off (only played 3 quarters in the Bears blowout).

You just don't get it...
Yes those numbers are unparalleled, unmatched…virtually insurmountable. But the Giants beat the invincible Atlanta Falcons…with their elite, Power-armed QB named Matt Ryan.
We have no chance.
And these Giants are a team of destiny. After all, they have Antrel Rolle playing our 4th and 5th receiver.
Besides, what are statistics? Who needs those? That’s all in the past anyways. Quit living in the past, man. Today is a new day, a new season! Everyone is equal, heck the Giants are 1-0, so they are technically BETTER than the Pack.
And Eli, since he has one more than Aaron, is BETTER than Aaron Rodgers now.
Grow up all ready and accept defeat.
Giants 55 Packers 3.
Looking forward to the Packers three-peating and visiting President Ron Paul at the White House in 2013

haha
to be fair, I looked at this as having nothing to do with the Giants and partially thought about it because I was sick of all the whining on here these last 3 days.

only thing
I will say is this.
The one thing all of those games had in common was that he knew who the opponent was going to be for 2 weeks.
He didn’t find out that he was playing NY until 5 days ago.
The dude is a film junkie which is why giving him two weeks on an opponent isn’t fair to anyone.
But, he only had one week on NY.
I do hope he has the same stats though!
fair point
except the Giants game. He was preparing for the Pats the week before in hopes that he could start.

Woah, tone those numbers down a bit.
It’s not like we’re starting Matt Flynn.
I already told you! I deal with the god damn receivers so the linebackers don’t have to! I have coverage skills; I’m good at covering people! Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?!

by your behavior?
13.
In '62, Green Bay's 7th Championship season, the Packers took a 10-0 record into Detroit on Thanksgiving, and lost. In '11 they took a 10-0 record into Detroit on Thanksgiving, and got it right this time.
In '07, the Packers hosted a playoff game against a Giants team that they had defeated during the regular season, and lost. In '11 they host a playoff game against a Giants team that they had defeated during the regular season, and, again, we’re gonna get it right this time!"

One of those numbers has to be a typo
Either the original offer was $2.00 (and if you can’t swing that we need to take up a collection for you), or your counter-offer was $150. I’m going with the latter.
I literally have $1.50
