So far, the Packers have scored 107 points in the 2022 season. That means on average, only 17.8 points per game. This is the lowest by Aaron Rodgers in a six-game span since taking charge of the offensive unit.
While speaking to the reporters, Rodgers addressed the criticisms he received in his own locker room. He also expressed his displeasure on losing the game despite getting a long week to practice.

“It’s going to be interesting to see how we all respond to this tomorrow and this week,” Rodgers said. “I feel like we had a great week of practice, so this performance today was surprising. We’ve got to watch our language and the kind of energy that we’re manifesting, but I’m going to be steady with the guys, and I expect our leadership to do the same,” he added.
Apart from the loss, the QB had a plethora of other problems on the field. He had to control the depleting receiver corps due to injuries and use the offensive weapons wisely. Meanwhile, the quarterback himself got sacked four times, with the Jets’ defense outplaying the Packers’ O-line several times.

If the team has sufficient players to win the games, Rodgers believes there is a need to simplify things rather than search for other prospects from outside. “I’m not attacking anything,” Rodgers said to the reporters.
“I just think that based on how we’ve played the last two weeks, I think it’s going to be in our best interests to simplify things for everybody — for the line, for the backs, for the receivers, especially with [Randall Cobb’s] injury. Just simplify some things, and maybe that’ll help us get back on track,” he added.
