The Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has been receiving arrows for quite a long-time. Despite giving his best, the veteran was unable to get back on track. Eventually, the Packers’ third consecutive loss in Week 7 gave the critics more leverage to roast him. However this time, Rodgers vowed to hold the guys accountable for the loss.

There is no doubt, Aaron Rodgers happens to be the face of Green Bay, and every time they win or lose, the 38-year-old happens to be the one to answer. After the 23-21 loss against the Commanders, Rodgers was asked to comment.
He had earlier vowed to simplify things and rectify the mistakes but the efforts didn’t seem to come to fruition. “When you’re struggling on offense, you’ve got to look at everything, the details. And there have been too many simple mental errors,” Rodgers said after Wednesday’s practice.
“I’m not a robot up here. I think people in this society have a hard time hearing the truth sometimes, so I’m going to hold guys accountable,” he added.
The mighty Bills are next on the line for Rodgers and Co. Wins are essential to keep their playoff aspirations alive as they are currently down to 3-4 in the 2022 season. One of the main reasons why the Packers weren’t able to shine is due to a slumping receiver corps. Half of them got injured with Sammy Watkins preparing for a return.
Meanwhile, the rookies couldn’t make an impact as they should. These comments from Rodgers took no time to spread like a wildfire and the veteran wideout Watkins nodded to what his quarterback mentioned about holding the guys responsible. Because in the end, it’s all about business and winning the games.

A few weeks ago, Rodgers vocalized simplifying things and asked the top brass to remain on the same page. Head coach Matt LaFleur addressed the issue and mentioned that in the end, it’s about working smartly.

“It’s a fine line with how much you give them, what you put on their plate, and making sure they can regurgitate the details,” LaFleur said. “I think one thing we all have to do as a staff is a much better job of less telling and more asking questions because that’s when you know the comprehension level of these guys,” he added.
