Packers’ Aaron Rodgers (shoulder) limited in practice
“It was the receivers and myself”, Rodgers said.
It is anything but business as usual for a Rodgers-led team to drop three straight.
The Green Bay fanbase has been spoiled by stellar teams, highlighted by otherworldly quarterback play, ever since Rodgers led the Packers to a victory in Super Bowl XLV.
Meanwhile, there’s a few panic over in Green Bay as you can see by this piece from Lombardi Ave. The Vikings are 26-27 at home, including 0-1 at TCF Bank Stadium, their temporary home. But they know it won’t be easy. They look like a good football team now.
This happened before the Packers’ 18-16 defeat by the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Injury concerns were the topic of choice today at Lambeau Field.
CHICAGO (-1) over Denver: What’s just as alarming as Denver having an unproven quarterback (Brock Osweiler) is Denver’s defense allowing 56 points in the last two games. The Packers ran for 127.3 per game through their first six. While sex undoubtedly affects one’s mood and is a generally healthy thing for humans to get down with, suggesting Rodgers’ personal life plays a factor on the field is preposterous. “I move from room to room, and I try to be as resourceful as I possibly can to my coaches and to my players”. Rodgers has thrown for 26 touchdowns versus three interceptions in winning nine of his last 10 against Minnesota.2.
“Well, I know that’s probably tough for him because he’s a big Bear fan, I appreciate that”, Rodgers said Wednesday.
The Green Bay Packers’ current three-game losing streak ties the longest dry spell the club has ever suffered with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback dating back to 2008, Rodgers’ first year as the Green Bay starter.
Rodgers hasn’t played as well as he normally does, but he has still been able to put together an impressive season. We have to sustain drives better…. However, Jordy Nelson extended the Packers’ passing game, giving them a deep threat the offense utilized to a tee last season. Hyde, who has been handling kickoff returns in Montgomery’s absence, suffered the injury late in the loss to Detroit last Sunday.
“We have to be really smart in our rush lanes”, defensive end Brian Robison said.
The above tweet is just one lone comment – not enough to get riled up about. If Green Bay’s attack is balanced, Rodgers no doubt will regain his inhuman rhythm as the Vikings become hesitant and worrisome of the run. Rodgers was sacked three times by the Broncos, five by the Panthers and three by the Lions.
Vikings coach Mike Zimmer has been fairly successful against Rodgers in his career. On special teams, I think they’re playing very disciplined and they also have a big-time returner there. “I have a ton of respect for them”.
