No. But the almost 3 INT, not seeing wide open guys, making stupid choices, running when he doesn't have too, etc, etc are on Wilson!! He is a freaked veteran now, but playing like a rookie still. Actually he had a more respectable game as a rookie than now.

Notice how the only two games in which he's played well were the Atlanta and Houston games where our defense couldn't get stops and forced our offense to keep up. Wilson can play well when the coaching staff feels like it. God forbid we actually take a double-digit lead in the first half of a game.

But because he has virtually no running game to speak of, a suspect defense, and STILL continues to come out and keep us in games or outright win it. I am just outright baffled by the inability to be reasonable around here. He's doing something only Rodgers or Brady could do week in and week out. Until he gets a proper running game this thread is patently absurd

Atlanta? He spotted them a 14 point lead. The staff and RW can't turn it on when they want. The Hawks are 7-4 with a middling schedule which says exactly what kind of team they are.

Maybe I'm wrong and it's just the people around Russell that are better in the second half thus Russ is better but in my opinion the only difference between the first half and the second half is 100% RW. Is that fair? Probably not but when your the franchise QB and making 22 million a year we need 4 quarters not 2 1/2. Might work against the 49ers and other mediocre team, almost worked against Washington and Atlanta but it's not gonna work against good teams.

I don't think anybody here is disputing RW's excellence, only the timing. If you were to go back and watch only the first halves of games this year, you wouldn't think RW was a special QB. If you were to watch only second halves, you would think he was the MVP and a hall of fame lock.
So what needs to be done to have 2nd half RW consistently show up in the 1st half?
