Aaron Rodgers believes passing attack will bounce back

The question was not, initially, about him.

Aaron Rodgers had just been asked whether he was concerned about wide receiver Jordy Nelson, his favorite passing target who was coming off a game in which he dropped two passes, finished with just four receptions for 38 yards and, afterward, termed his performance “pretty embarrassing.”

“I said it after the game. I’m not worried about that at all,” the Green Bay Packers quarterback replied. “Those things happen.”

Then, a pause, before pivoting the conversation. “I missed some passes. Those guys shouldn’t be worried about me, either,” Rodgers continued. “We’re going to get better. We’re not going to have inconsistent performances like that.”
It wasn’t quite R-E-L-A-X, but the message was clear: While Rodgers did indeed enter this week’s games ranked dead last in the NFL in completion percentage (56.1) among starters, and the Packers’ passing game was an anemic 27th in the league, there’s no panic within the halls of Lambeau Field.

First off, why would Aaron say anything else? When has any starting NFL qb said "we are doomed"?


“I don’t think we’re far away,” said associate head coach/offense Tom Clements, who pointed to several near-misses the offense had -- including one to Nelson -- in last Sunday night’s 23-16 win over the New York Giants. “It’s just a matter of having some things click in the game and having some confidence and building on that.


Oh come on. Nearly every team every single game can point to a few plays and say if the results for that play were different everything would have been great. It is meaningless to try and change the results with hyperbole.

Against the Giants, Rodgers completed 23 of 45 passes for 259 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for a passer rating of 65.0. His first interception was on a throw across the middle to Nelson, which Nelson said he should have caught even though it was high and slightly behind him. His other interception came on a throw to Davante Adams on which Rodgers missed his mark by just enough to allow Janoris Jenkins to pick him off again.
“Probably a total of 13 inches of not being where [the throw] should be resulted in two interceptions,” Van Pelt said. “Those are going to happen. You’re going to miss throws here or there. I have no concern.”


13 inches? Really? The first int was so far off the mark Jordy almost couldn’t even touch it. The 2nd int was nearly on the turf.

They need to get it together. Aaron in particular needs to start taking snaps from under C, getting the ball out on 3 step drops. Using proper footwork and mechanics.

If shit breaks down, throw it away. Don't purposely wait until shit breaks down just to go sandlot.
