Humiliated 38-3 in his team’s opener of the season, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers felt the need to put things in perspective on Thursday.
“We have won a lot of games, we have also lost some, but the important thing is to move on quickly. It doesn’t matter if we score 50 points or get busted, ”said the one who has started with the Packers since the 2008 NFL campaign.
“There shouldn’t be any big drastic changes in the way we do things, the way we practice, the way we prepare,” Rodgers added. Obviously we have to play better. But if we start to panic after a week, we’ll be in big trouble. ”
Facing the New Orleans Saints last Sunday, the 37-year-old pivot completed just 53.5% of his passes for gains of 133 yards. He was unable to find the pay zone and saw two of his relays being intercepted.
“It’s not acceptable, but it’s only a game,” said Rodgers. We are not going to hit each other on the head all the time for this poor performance. ”
The Packers will try to bounce back Sunday night, while the Detroit Lions will be passing through Lambeau Field.
