Aaron Rodgers: Fan made ‘prejudicial’ comment during
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was “very disappointed” on Sunday, but it was not because of his team’s loss to Detroit Lions. “He had a heck of a game against a few tough task, we played a lot of man-to-man a lot more than we would usually play and he stood up to the challenge”.
Aaron Rodgers was upset, and not because of the score.
The Packers did make a second straight fourth quarter comeback and had a chance to win in the end, but Mason Crosby’s 52-yard field goal attempt was struck poorly and missed badly.
The Vikings next four opponents (Green Bay, at Atlanta, Seattle, at Arizona) are a combined 23-13. Everything we need to do, we have the people in the locker room to do it. We left big opportunities on the field. They have looked out of sync for most of this season, which is a stark contrast to their brutal efficiency when McCarthy was calling the plays.
After a productive start to the season, James Jones has just three catches during the three-game losing streak and got shut out against Detroit. It’s remarkable that this was the team that finally came out of Green Bay with a victory – and it didn’t come easily. And when asked about uncharacteristically missing throws on Sunday, Rodgers repeated one answer.
Heading into the game, the Lions were 1-7 overall and had just fired their team president and general manager. Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay, for example, heard Rodgers loud and clear when he met the All-Pro passer for a handshake after Detroit’s 18-16 win over the Packers in Week 10.
Add the relative struggles of the line and receivers to the sudden disappearance of the running game, and you’ve got a struggling Green Bay offense.
“I know the footing wasn’t great in between the hashes”, Masthay said. Butler was signed to the roster just the day before the Lions’ game against the Packers.
