Aaron Rodgers criticizes fan who yelled ‘Muslims suck!’ during moment of
They had an offensive line that didn’t measure up in the first half of the season.
As if that wasn’t enough stress, owner Martha Ford spoke to the players during the week and told them that she expected them to win.
“I think the way things are going are just fine”, Rodgers replied.
The frustration continued to bubble over for Aaron Rodgers on Sunday during their loss to the last place Detroit Lions.
At 6-3, the Packers have fallen a game behind the Vikings in the NFC North title race.
But to take it to the next level by then saying that anti-Muslim prejudice is somehow responsible for “where we are today as a world”, is beyond ignorant and not supported by any evidence of any kind. We need to make up for that.
The first touchdown of the game was from the Lions with 13:33 to play in the third quarter.
After scoring a touchdown with 32 seconds left, the Packers failed on the two-point conversion attempt to keep it a two-point game.
Luckily for the Lions, the Packers may have managed to block the field goal themselves.
Rodgers says he’s healthy, but he didn’t pick apart the Lions blitzes the way we’ve seen him thrive when pressured in the past.
Aaron Rodgers was upset, and not because of the score.
Rodgers made some uncharacteristically shaky throws and got up slow a few times following hits.
“We knew we had an opportunity to come out here and play, and I’ll bet nobody gave us a chance”, Stafford said. “Rather than ignore the hatred, Rodgers faced it head on and pointed out why it’s not okay”.
It’s the type of attitude that McCarthy said he expects of his leader and quarterback who played so well for so long.
“This isn’t easy”, McCarthy said.
Faced with outrage, the National Football League quickly retreated. Eddie Lacy has turned into a shell of himself and has been benched despite his insistence that nothing is physically wrong, and his replacement James Starks (42 yards on 15 carries against the Lions) isn’t much better. “And frankly, if we spoiled you in the past, that’s great”. While it’s certainly possible this is the magic elixir we’re all looking for, the problems seem to go deeper than that.
