Green Bay Packers and NFL superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers is frustrated by his teams “stinker” against the Buffalo Bills this past week.
Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers were hoping to keep their lead over the Detroit Lions in the NFC North this past week on the road against the Buffalo Bills, but that didn’t end up happening. The Packers ended up playing an absolutely terrible football game and fell to the Bills and are now 10-4 on the season and in second place in the division.

It was a bad game that game at an even worse time, and Rodgers is extremely frustrated with the way that the Packers played. That was a game that they should have had that would have put more pressure on the Lions, and instead Green Bay has a ton of pressure to win two straight games now.
Rodgers spoke to the media about his disappointment in the performance and the loss.
"“Sunday was a rough one. I didn’t play well. That’s not news to anybody. Now it was frustrating because obviously I hold myself to a really high standard. I know I can play better and I should’ve played better.”It was just disappointing because I missed a few of them by more than I wanted to, but I felt good about the ball coming off. It was just a little bit off. It was one of those days. As an offense we were a little out of sync, and then obviously it didn’t help some of the throws I made, but we had some opportunities. We had some opportunities to convert some third downs, to make some plays, and we didn’t do it. So we all look squarely in the mirror, and we’re very self-critical — myself as much as anybody.”"
The Packers are now focusing on their next game on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road, which will be a test. They could either come out and blow the Buccaneers out of the water, or they could fold under the pressure and put up another “stinker” on the road.
Green Bay has the potential to be a legitimate Super Bowl contender, but they need to get their heads on straight again. Rodgers is going to be focused on Sunday, and the rest of the team needs to follow his example. It will be interesting to see which Packers football team shows up this week, and whether or not they can hold a winner-take-all Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field.
