The Packersā start to the 2022 NFL season has been more complicated than predicted. Though they bounced back from an ugly loss in Week 1, Aaron Rodgers and company are once again in a tough spot after losing to the Giants.
Green Bay had already received a wake-up call when it had to go to overtime to beat third-string rookie QB Bailey Zappe and the Patriots, but it wasnāt enough. For the first time since Matt LaFleur took over, the Packers are 3-2.
The team doesnāt look worried yet, but CB Jaire Alexandre admitted he would be concerned if the team loses to the Jets this week. Rodgers, however, was not happy to see teammatestalking abouta scenario where they lost.
Aaron Rodgers not happy with Packersā locker room mood after Giants loss
āFrankly, I donāt like all this conversation about losing next week,ā Aaron Rodgers said, via ProFootballTalk. āIām a firm believer in the power of words and manifestation. Weāve got to check ourselves on that, because talking about that is not winning football. There was talk about it in the locker room, and I donāt like. [Jaireās] my guy, but we donāt need to be talking like that.
āI understand thereās a reality in this game that thereās a win and a loss every single game, but thereās also a reality in life that what youāre putting your energy toward, thatās where your focus is going to go. So Iām not going to address the prospects of losing up here, other than we just lost this game.ā
What Rodgers says makes sense, itās not great for any team to be contemplating the idea of losing. As one of the best quarterbacks in the league and leader of such a popular franchise, Rodgersshould always stand fora winning mentality.
