Aaron Rodgers: This way of winning is not sustainable

The Packers got a win on Sunday when Mason Crosby hit a game-winning field goal in overtime, but the postgame mood was not a totally celebratory one for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers posted the lowest passer rating in a half in his career in the first half of Sunday’s game as he went 4-of-11 for 44 yards and had an interception returned for a touchdown to help the Patriots to a 10-7 lead. Rodgers would return to go 19-of-24 for 207 yards and two touchdowns after the break, but his mind was on what went wrong after the win was in the books.

“This way of winning, I don’t think, is sustainable because it puts too much pressure on our defense,” Rodgers said, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. “And obviously, I’ve got to play better and will play better.”

The Packers will be in London to face a Giants team that saw both of its quarterbacks suffer injuries during their win on Sunday. Rodgers’ view on losing to the Patriots is probably similar to his view of losing in those circumstances, so the Packers will be looking for a sharper performance in Week Five.

I've pointed out he isn't quick to point the finger at himself as he is to others. Glad he said this “and obviously, I’ve got to play better and will play better.” part though. I really think he should get some throws in pregame. It just seems his first half dozen or so passes are really way off the mark and then after about 10 passes he's Aaron FOOKIN RODGERS again.

Like Zero said, it was good to see Aaron Rodgers finally taking blame for his bad plays. I saw his press conference, and he did it several times.
I just don't get it though. Last week against Tampa, he played well in the first half, lousy in the second. Yesterday, lousy in the first, good in the second.
When will he put a complete good game together?
Or will it end up one complete lousy game?

In the first have the Patriots were manning up and squatting on those short to intermediate routes.

“Winning is not a sometime thing, it is an all the time thing. You don't do things right once in a while…you do them right all the time.”

Rodgers just wants to feel comfortable... problem is he hasn't gained enough chemistry and they don't have enough talent to be totally comfortable...

Got to get chemistry with the rookies faster, and figure out how to get more people (like maybe the TEs) more involved...

Martha Careful (8h) : Olympic opening ceremony is marginal at best

Zero2Cool (10h) : I was told that the hold up with Tua was the APY but they ironed it out and for Love, it’s been structure of the contract. -- Dianna Russini

Mucky Tundra (10h) : Tua and Love have the same agency, so things might be closer than we realize

Zero2Cool (10h) : Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $212.4 million, including $167 million in guarantees

Zero2Cool (10h) : Sounds like 4 year deal coming

Zero2Cool (10h) : Tua and Dolphins seem to have an extension in place.

Mucky Tundra (10h) : @prettyrickey213 Today has been flippant 🐬. Now waiting for it to be cheesy 🧀

Zero2Cool (11h) : Jones, Ballentine and Jennings join practice off PUP

Zero2Cool (13h) : Yikes.

wpr (13h) : The injuries keep on coming. Lions K Michael Badgley tears hamstring, out for season.

Zero2Cool (13h) : Great, Jenkins is taking snaps at Center. Lovely. More OL mishaps

wpr (25-Jul) : Another one bites the dust. Rams CB Derion Kendrick feared to have torn ACL

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Vikings CB Mekhi Blackmon tore his ACL today, a source confirms.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : You do know he's QB2, right? Pratt. Check the 53 cheat sheet

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : If Clifford keeps playing the way he has Pratt is gonna be flying by him on the depth chart

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Michael Pratt getting more first team reps than J.J. McCarthy

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Who made a prediction? I posted what it will be, not prediction mate! 😁

dfosterf (24-Jul) : It is within.the realm of possibility that someone had Bowden on their depth chart prediction. I thought they did. Could be wrong

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Record Prediction?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : I think someone edited their prediction post after

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Jayden Reed cleared to practice

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Never heard of the dude before haha

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Bowden is trash, can't snap his way out of a wet paper bag!

beast (23-Jul) : I'm hoping they re-sign Bowden after Love signs and this is just a game to get a 3rd QB while Love isn't practicing

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : got older over *

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Glad to hear it! And Happy Birthday! My brothers had got over over weekend

Cheesey (23-Jul) : Hi Kevin! Yes, I'm still alive. Just turned 67 a few days ago.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : Cutting Bowden is odd. I do remember reading he needed to work on his velocity, but don't even know how fixable that is

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Packers signed a QB today

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Packers long snapper Peter Bowden has been released to sign Jacob Eason.

wpr (23-Jul) : I heard Reed tweeked his ankle and his youth camp.

beast (23-Jul) : I believe NJI is usually used for pre-NFL injuries (rookies) and vets that got injured doing something they weren't supposed to.

beast (23-Jul) : Might be interesting to hear how Reed got injured, as I believe NJI is non-football and teams don't have to pay you list.

Zero2Cool (22-Jul) : Love won't practice until new deal is agreed. Ok, my stance changed

Zero2Cool (22-Jul) : TRAIIIIINNNNNING CAMP!!! let's fookin go!!!

Zero2Cool (22-Jul) : Jayden Reed placed on Non-Football Injury list

beast (21-Jul) : Yeah with the way the cap went up, don't be surprised if the new good QB gets more than $55 million per season

Zero2Cool (21-Jul) : Kenny Clark. Extended!!

buckeyepackfan (21-Jul) : The "raw" number will probably be in that area. The numbers to look at are signing bonus. Guaranteed money, and Salary Cap Hit each year.

dfosterf (21-Jul) : Those numbers align with my guesstimate. Might find out tomorrow

Zero2Cool (21-Jul) : Saw some rumor the Love contract is around 5 years $280m. There's no way.

Zero2Cool (19-Jul) : Packers sign wide receivers Rory Starkey and Jalen Wayne, waive Alex McGough.
