Recurring pattern: Aaron Rodgers, Packers' offense still out of sync

They have a valid point. Mike's teams NORMALLY don't start actually showing up until around week 10. Remember the SB year, when they players needed that "Come to Jesus" meeting?

Still, this is different than just normal disarray, and it has been going on since the bye week last year.

His most recent such game came in Week 6 of the past season, in an efficient, two-touchdown, no-interception win over the San Diego Chargers, and his most recent truly dominant stretch of football came in the second half of the Week 9 game last season at Carolina, even though that game ended in defeat. Playing what he described as “school-yard ball” after falling behind big that day, Rodgers nearly rallied the Packers with four touchdowns and 369 yards. Rodgers hasn't posted a 300-yard passing day since the week after the Carolina game, and that came in an ugly home loss to the Detroit Lions, who come to Lambeau Field on Sunday.

That's his problem.

He doesn't WANT to execute the offense. He wants to play sandlot ball.

Yep and the good defenses have him all but figured out. He needs to trust his guys and execute the offense.

Even teams with a less than stellar pass rush are sending the house to get Aaron dancing...the comments of fear of getting hit are really starting to hold water. Quick hitting sure routes could go a long way in making Aaron more comfortable in the pocket again.

IMO Aaron Rodgers' best game as a passer was that divisional game against Dallas when he was on a gimpy leg.

That Rodgers proved to me he's a legitimate QB in the league.

Then he got his legs back.

Bring back Aaron Rodgers with the quick and effective release please.

Been out of sync for a few years. Just been hidden by numbers created by free plays and busted play scramble drills. Its been slowly going down as we lost players like Jennings, Driver, Jones and haven't found replacements of their level. Back when we won the SB, we basically had 5 #2/#3 WR's. today we have a #2, #3 and 3 - #4/#5

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Until the Packers reintroduce the middle of the field and quick routes into the offense, we can expect to see the same bullshit every week.

McCarthy's scheme is abysmal. No change from last year.

Rodgers mechanics are brutally bad and he is continuing to decline.

Why?

Aaron Rodgers still has all the elite physical tools and intelligence, he just needs to get right mentally and needs a coach to guide him through the process. I don't think McCarthy is capable of doing that at this point, for whatever reason. Someone has to make it happen, because McCarthy's message has become stale, even if it is the right message.

More talent sure as hell won't hurt but this is the NFL. You've got to be able to move the ball more consistently than this even if you've got a bunch of #4s out there.

All of the players are also to blame, but they are a subset of the coaching. It's been going on long enough. Be aggressive and fix the issues. Whatever has been happening simply isn't working so it's time to try something else. The buck has to stop somewhere, and ultimately, that should be the head coach in this case, imo.
