Aaron Rodgers is still Aaron Rodgers. I don't care what his completion percentage is.
So if he is Aaron Rodgers and he comes out and completes 35% of his passes they should beat us simply because he is still named Aaron Rodgers.
Interesting take.

Just stay within the game plan, and win. I don't care what the media say before or after.
Rodgers has looked off all year. Hopefully he stays that way this Sunday. If he plays at his current rate, he can still be dangerous. Maybe if Lacy can't go, or is limited, it will help.
But with our luck some back up RB will have a career day. But our defense better be prepared. They were against the Bengals. Well at least until they played that dang prevent the entire 4th quarter.

Regardless it will be the toughest game because it is an away game. Which we play very well on the road, but it is still a road game. Key is to get up early, take the crowd out of the game.

If we beat GB,, they all of a sudden won't be a good team anymore.
I think most feel they are pretty good. At least at Lambeau.

I think Dallas is rated higher than they are in the most recent power rankings. But they're still rated higher than anyone else we've played so far. I think anyway.

I half-expected to click on the link and listen to someone justify Rodgers difficulties were Munn's fault. Thankfully, D'Amato's speculation didn't delve into reality television gibberish.

Perceived manufactured melodrama aside, players sometimes hit slumps. It's not uncommon. Rodgers is in one. He'll work his way it. I won't hate on him if he stays in his until after our game though.

Aaron Rodgers has just started getting his mojo back lately. I'm not counting on seeing the version that has declined when we meet them, although it might be somewhat helpful if we do. However it turns out, here's hoping our pass rush is up to par with last week or maybe even better. It'd help.

All things being said, he is still on pace for 44 TDs (36 passing, 8 rushing).

Even when he is down, he is dangerous as all get out.

Aaron Rodger's 56% completion rate (31st in the NFL) is beyond shocking.

Olivia Munn effect?

Dude....could you blame him? I'd live with her 24/7. Harsh, but....yeah she's smoking hot.

Their system is a little stale at this point and they don't have a dynamic tight end to go to either. They run pretty well, but Lacy is dinged. We'll hang in and could win but if we don't without Romo, Dez and OScan then I don't think it's the end of the world either. We WILL continue to get better. I think Lawrence can make a difference this week too. He was rusty last week...not in top football shape due to time missed IMO.

We'd be lucky to catch Lacy at a time when he's not physically up to snuff and somewhat limited. Even then, he might still be a load -- lol.

Going to be a great game and a great challenge for Dak, Zeke, and the offense. Would love to see our secondary continue their great play. They haven't given up a 100 yard day to a WR yet. Impressive. The team is gelling right now-- and we are catching GB in good weather with Lacy injured and a depleted secondary.

If we can't beat them on Sun, then we simply aren't a contender yet. This is a game that a young, hungry, up and coming contender wins.

His completion percentage may be in large part due to receivers not getting open and he's forcing throws more than he should. Nelson may not have his confidence in running full speed coming off an ACL tear.

Really need to just maintain offensive production and have our front four create pressure.

DAK & Zeke + the Great Wall. Unbeatable.
Ok..........

Two things scare me about this game, AR scrambling and AR attacking the middle of the field. Both things we seem to struggle against.

Yeah.....if anyone can exploit this defense its Rodgers. I'm not scared of the Packers but I do know they are a good team with a great quarterback and that defense is nothing to underrate.

I didn't say he "should" do anything. At the same time if you think Rodgers will complete 35% of his passes or ANYONE in the NFL will for that matter you are going to be in for a rude awakening. My point is, he's Aaron Rodgers. That's it. If you want to believe he's Brandon Weeden then be my guest. But his low completion rate does not mean he's not capable of putting up 70% of his passes on Sunday.

And ANYONE in the NFL is capable of coming out and completing 70% of their passes on a given day.
He has been completing 50% of his passes so why should I be so negative and assume that just because it's us this weekend that he will complete 70%? My assumption is that he will play the way he has for the first 4 games so far this season. 56% completion percentage. What's wrong with that?

I hope the players don't read junk like this and just think that they can roll in there and beat the Packers cause AR isn't playing at AR levels.

The last thing this team needs is for there to an AR 2016 Return to Form party at their expense.

Maybe this is why the Cowboys won't recognize Arod this weekend:
