Packers QB, Aaron Rodgers, in a presser, pondered how his team crumbled against the Vikings in the NFL opener. A poor start certainly hurt the experienced campaigner, and he expressed his disappointment. However, he added with caution that they will bounce back in the next outing. 

While talking about the loss, game experts cited a lack of practice and coordination between A-Rod and Green Bay’s young receiving corps. The NFL analyst Chris Simms said the rocky relationship between the duo is a cause for concern. 

Aaron Rodgers needs his men to step up

With an experience of 18 seasons, the superstar knows the ifs and buts in the game. However, he cannot single-handedly take his side home in the NFL. As a result, he readily accepted a mentorship role for the youngsters to get them comfortable with their game. However, it did not start on a promising note in game one.

“Yeah. At first, I thought he was going to, in a roundabout way, blame the receivers for the fact that they didn’t have a perfect routine against a regional rival. At least he acknowledges that it is on him to a certain extent that had the fumble. He got devoured by Vilkins defenders at a time when it felt like hackers were trying to push the pendulum the other way,” said Simms. 

Most of the talk was leveled against the superstar as he missed the off-season program. Previously, he had missed practicing on Saturdays ahead of the NFL clash. Elaborating on it, the NFL analyst believed Rodgers should spend more time with the young guns.

“This is why he should have been there for the off-season program. This is why he should have taken his receivers to Peru for some Ayahuasca. You got to get to the point where your windows are,” said the expert.

A-Rod and his team game

A veteran of 18 seasons, Aaron Rodgers knows the strengths and weaknesses of his side. However, his missing practice sessions are a lost opportunity for him and the youngsters to prepare ahead of the match. As a result, they lacked game time. 

However, Rodgers is a confident man. He said the team scored only three points in the opening match last season. The titan wants fans to see it as a one-off poor performance.

So, will A-Rod and Co bounce back in style? The answer is only a few hours away as the Packers take on the Bears in the next clash on Sunday.
