Talking after the game, Rodgers did not speak against the offense. He revealed a combination of factors behind the loss. The 38-year-old superstar said he believes in the power of words and manifestation and added he is unhappy about the conversation about losing next week. “No, and frankly, I don’t like all this conversation about losing next week. I’m a firm believer in the power of words and manifestation. We got to check ourselves on that because talking about that is not that about winning football. There was a conversation about it in the locker room and I don’t like it,” the star QB said.
Aaron Rodgers talks about the reality of the game
A-Rod, who enjoys philosophy, had a similar take about the Sunday loss while speaking to the press. He spoke about the energy one needs to invest in one’s own focus area. Rodgers dismissed negative talks and said he will not address the prospects of losing the next game.
“I understand there’s a reality in this game, but there’s a win, a loss every single game. But there’s also a reality in life that you. What you put in your energy towards. That’s where your focus is going to go. So, I’m not going to address prospects of losing up here other than we just lost this game,” the QB said.
