Everything Aaron Rodgers said after Packers Week 9 loss to Lions

The Aaron Rodgers postgame comments following the Packers Week 9 loss to the Lions weren’t family-friendly but weren’t words of panic.

The cheese is beyond moldy in Green Bay and has become more like a science experiment you forget about for months in the back of the fridge.

This season has been impossibly bad for the Packers who are in the middle of a five-game losing streak in which Aaron Rodgers was thoroughly outplayed by quarterbacks like Taylor Heinicke and Daniel Jones.

A quick look at the upcoming schedule shows that the bad times aren’t going to get much better any time soon. Add to that the fact that Minnesota is running away with the NFC North and the current NFL Playoff Picture doesn’t include the Packers anywhere near the bracket.

But right now all fans can focus on is how Green Bay was embarrassed in Detroit by a Lions team that is historically an afterthought on the schedule. It could be called a rude awakening but it feels like the last five games have been like that for the Packers and the frustration is starting to boil over.

FOX cameras caught Rodgers yelling at or about his teammates on more than one occasion on Sunday, but the quarterback himself is perhaps the one who deserves the most blame for how things went.

It’s true that Rodgers doesn’t have a great cast of wide receivers to work with, but the loss on Sunday in Detroit featured more than a few underthrown balls and baffling decisions that included three brutal redzone interceptions.

After the game, Rodgers didn’t jump in front of the bullet for the rest of his offense, but he also didn’t skirt taking some blame.

That sounds like he’s owning the poor decisions he made on Sunday, which is something he’s maneuvered around in the past. It wasn’t a fall-on-the-sword moment but Rodgers wasn’t interested in bringing much negativity into his postgame comments.

In fact, he reiterated many of the talking points he has mentioned during the losing streak.

Whether that’s sincere or simply an autoresponse to being asked about the struggles is yet to be determined.
