Rodgers has a long road ahead of him
The Green Bay Packers have a long, uphill climb ahead of them. Ranked behind the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions in the NFC North, the Packers’ hopes for this season are beginning to diminish. For a minute, Packers fans were able to keep their hopes up when their team defeated the Cowboys in a thrilling 31-28 showdown.
They managed to break a long losing streak with that victory. But, the team followed it up with a humiliating 12-27 defeat to the Titans. At the end of the day, the Packers are not in a very good position. Their playoff chances look slim at this point in the season. Is LaFleur putting too much on Rodgers’ shoulders in terms of the execution of his offensive vision? Or do the Packers have to take a step back and focus on building a foundation for the next season?
