The Packers got a win on Sunday when Mason Crosby hit a game-winning field goal in overtime, but the postgame mood was not a totally celebratory one for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers posted the lowest passer rating in a half in his career in the first half of Sunday’s game as he went 4-of-11 for 44 yards and had an interception returned for a touchdown to help the Patriots to a 10-7 lead. Rodgers would return to go 19-of-24 for 207 yards and two touchdowns after the break, but his mind was on what went wrong after the win was in the books.

“This way of winning, I don’t think, is sustainable because it puts too much pressure on our defense,” Rodgers said, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. “And obviously, I’ve got to play better and will play better.”

The Packers will be in London to face a Giants team that saw both of its quarterbacks suffer injuries during their win on Sunday. Rodgers’ view on losing to the Patriots is probably similar to his view of losing in those circumstances, so the Packers will be looking for a sharper performance in Week Five.

I've pointed out he isn't quick to point the finger at himself as he is to others. Glad he said this “and obviously, I’ve got to play better and will play better.” part though. I really think he should get some throws in pregame. It just seems his first half dozen or so passes are really way off the mark and then after about 10 passes he's Aaron FOOKIN RODGERS again.

Like Zero said, it was good to see Aaron Rodgers finally taking blame for his bad plays. I saw his press conference, and he did it several times.
I just don't get it though. Last week against Tampa, he played well in the first half, lousy in the second. Yesterday, lousy in the first, good in the second.
When will he put a complete good game together?
Or will it end up one complete lousy game?

In the first have the Patriots were manning up and squatting on those short to intermediate routes.

“Winning is not a sometime thing, it is an all the time thing. You don't do things right once in a while…you do them right all the time.”

Rodgers just wants to feel comfortable... problem is he hasn't gained enough chemistry and they don't have enough talent to be totally comfortable...

Got to get chemistry with the rookies faster, and figure out how to get more people (like maybe the TEs) more involved...

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?
