Aaron Rodgers has set a new record in the NFL. And it’s not a good one. Rodgers and the Packers continued their losing run on Sunday after a 15-9 loss to the Lions at Ford Field. The cheeseheads are not happy with the franchise quarterback.

Aaron Rodgers had a career-high three interceptions against the Detroit Lions and although that number isn’t especially high, the standards are different for Super Bowl XLV MVP Rodgers. The Lions’ defense created problems for the Packers and their No 12 throughout the night.
Packers fans don’t see Rodgers and Co making the playoffs
Aaron Rodgers threw for 291 yards in the losing effort against the Detroit Lions. His only touchdown pass came in the 3rd quarter when Alan Lazard caught it in the end zone. Detroit safety, Kerby Joseph, and linebacker, Derrick Barnes, made the Detroit defense menacing. Barnes had a game-high 12 tackles while rookie Kerby Joseph made his career’s first two interceptions when he caught the Aaron Rodger passes.
All of Rodgers’ interceptions came within 25 yards of the Lions’ end zone. Green Bay Packers fans disapproved of this underwhelming performance and want a new QB.
It's about time for Green Bay to thank Aaron Rodgers for his services and then work on his tribute video.

Remember when Aaron Rodgers said 'The better team didn't win." when the seahawks beat them for the championship? The better team won here. Retire while you still can, bruh.

The Packers have lost their fifth in a row this NFL season. This is the worst start to a season in Aaron Rodgers’ entire career. Some fans think that maybe his time in Wisconsin is finally coming to an end. However, one Niner fan wants him in San Francisco.

Aaron Rodgers signed a 3-year $150 million extension with the Green Bay Packers in the off-season. So it doesn’t look like he’s going anywhere. However, many still believe in the 10x Pro Bowler.
As soon as you bench him, he will throw 5 TDs and 450 yards.

People really said this guy was better than Brady all time. 💀

Aaron Rodgers drew comparisons to Tom Brady after both quarterbacks were going through terrible form this season. However, Brady and the Buccaneers bounced back with a comeback win against the present Super Bowl champions LA Rams. Brady fans were quick to note.
Is there any hope for Aaron Rodgers with the current Packers offense?
Some fans stood by the 4x NFL MVP and thought that the three interceptions were not that big a deal, especially with the lack of offensive options.
Let’s see any QB in this league w/ the same terrible WR’s and see what their record is and how many INTs they throw…

Aaron and the Packers’ offensive line have been struggling ever since Davante Adams left for the Las Vegas Raiders. Green Bay lacks a dependable wide receiver. Alan Lazard topped the receiving yards list with only 87 yards to his name. WR Romeo Doubs also left the game with an ankle injury adding to Green Bay’s woes. Rookie Doubs is a 4th round pick out of Nevada. Green Bay drafted him to strengthen the receiver lines. However, he hasn’t had the desired impact on the Packers’ offense this season.
