“Now, I wasn’t trying to be inspiring,” Rodgers said of Sunday’s post-game message. “I was trying to put the loss in the context where it deserves to be put. And that is, it’s not acceptable, but it’s just one game and we’re not gonna be held prisoner mentally by that poor performance.”

NFL is not for weak-hearted players and Aaron Rodgers is not at all easy to break. His competence and ability to absorb criticism are way ahead of so many players. His expectation from the Packers this season is so much more than what they had displayed in their previous game.
“I’m not going to make it bigger than it was,” Rodgers said. “I’ll let you guys on the outside world do all that. Look, we’ve won a lot of games around here. We’ve lost a few. But you move on. It doesn’t matter if you play incredible and put up 50 or you get blown out. You move on to the next opponent.”
Aaron Rodgers keeps the spirits alive for the team, as the franchise moves on to the second week of the regular season. He plans to take over the Lions and rise above all the criticism that has been thrown at him.
