Packers QB Aaron Rodgers on four-game skid: ‘Nobody feels sorry for us’
The Green Bay Packers may not want to relax too much right now.
At 3-5, the team is going through one of the worst seasons it has had in the Aaron Rodgers era. The team has lost four-straight games to the Giants, Jets, Commanders, and Bills after getting off to a 3-1 start.
They’re not the worst team in the NFL by any stretch, but the team looks like a clear longshot to really factor into much after December if Rodgers and Green Bay can’t get it going.
“Nobody feels sorry for us,” Rodgers said after the game (via NFL). “We’ve got to find a way to get one win. I feel like if we can just get one, then the whole momentum changes.”
Life doesn’t get easier for Green Bay, with a high-scoring Detroit Lions awaiting this Sunday. That’ll be followed by a brutal three-game stretch with the Cowboys, Titans, and Eagles.
The Packers also have the Dolphins, Vikings, and Rams in the weeks ahead, proving that the team’s struggles might not be over anytime soon.
It’s hard to really peg exactly what’s wrong with Green Bay. Rodgers might just be dealing with Father Time’s eventual roll call, and it seems like he and head coach Matt LaFleur just aren’t on the same page.
The Packers’ defense has clear talent, but it’s surrendered an average of 26 points in the last four games. That’s not a recipe for success when the offense can’t consistently get going.
Rodgers is a future Hall of Famer, but 2022 is beginning to feel like a curtain call for his time in Green Bay if his team can’t get it going.
