Aaron Rodgers has come out and expressed his anger at how the Green Bay Packers are performing despite their recent win against the New England Patriots. 

The Green Bay Packers, having started the season off in rather worrying fashion with a defeat to the Minnesota Vikings, they have since rallied to win three games in a row, meaning that they will come to London to face the New York Giants with a 3-1 record.

Having been ranked as the NFC’s #1 seed for each of the past two seasons, with quarterback Aaron Rodgers taking home league MVP in both of those years, expectations were understandably high in Green Bay coming into the season, and after getting the first week jitters out the way, especially considering that loss came against the talented Vikings who themselves are 3-1 also, things are looking a little more promising for them now.

However, the manner in which they’ve been winning doesn’t come across as promising on paper.

On offense, the numbers are a little far apart from where you would want them to be, as they rank 6th in terms of total yards with 1,510, nothing surprising there considering how talented they are on that side of the ball. However when it comes to turning that into points, it’s a whole different matter.

The Packers currently rank joint-21st when it comes to points scored with just 75 in the bank. So whilst they can get up the field pretty easily, putting the ball into the endzone at the end of the drive is turning into a bit of an issue, especially as you can’t blame it on penalties, with the Packers offense being flagged 17 times for just 140 yards, which rank joint-28th and 27th respectively. 

And it’s numbers like that which leave Rodgers knowing that they won’t be able to make a success out of this season if things carry on the way they are much longer

Aaron Rodgers far from happy

Speaking after their overtime victory against the New England Patriots (via ESPN.com), Rodgers said that the team can’t keep playing the way that they are, but did acknowledge that a lot of it starts and ends with himself:

This way of winning, I don't think, is sustainable because it puts too much pressure on our defense. And obviously, I've got to play better and will play better.

So at least he’s willing to take some accountability for it as a quarterback should, seeing as the offense goes through him, but it really is going to have to be a case of him proving it before we can pass judgment on his comments.
