GREEN BAY, Wis. – The passage of time can bring wisdom and patience. During training camp, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers suggested he had grown a “little gentler” when it comes to dealing with mistakes.
But the fire still burns hot, as tight end Tyler Davis and center Josh Myers – and the viewers on CBS’s telecast – found out.
With about 1:30 left in the third quarter, tight end Tyler Davis motioned from right to left. Rodgers, not-so-kindly, suggested Davis go back to the right.
“I heard they caught maybe something I might’ve said to Tyler. Those are private conversations,” Rodgers said with a smile. “Listen, simple things like rights and lefts. I’m not judging here. Every now and then, I might think I said right and it came out a left, but I know for a fact I was right on my direction that time and Tyler lined up in the wrong spot. The play is very simple play. It’s his play for that week, so that’s why I was a little bit upset about that, but I apologized to Tyler and only to Tyler for what I said.”
Then, with about 11 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the Packers faced a key third down while trailing 24-17. With the Patriots substituting, Rodgers rushed the offense to the line. The clock was stopped before the snap, and Rodgers was furious.
“Snap the f***ing ball,” Rodgers yelled at center Josh Myers and to however many millions of fans were watching from home.
