Oh, my! The Vikings dismantled the Packers last week, which doesn’t ode well for the men from Up North. Right? But, wait! Remember opening week 2021: Saints 38-Packers 3.
Did you expect something else if you’re a Green Bay Packers fan and just watched Week 1? I know I didn’t. Green Bay is preparing for the future by trading away Rodgers’ top targets, Davante Adams and Marquez-Valdez-Scantling. So, what is Green Bay trying to accomplish this season?
It’s simple; Green Bay is tired of Rodgers. They can’t get rid of a guy who wins the MVP back-to-back. So, what can they do? Let’s start by getting rid of his weapons. What’s a gunslinger without his trusty colt?
The message is simple: if you want it, you must do it yourself. The organization seems to be building for the future when you have one of the best quarterbacks to play the game Right Now!
Minnesota handled the Packers easily, and more teams will look to do that this year.
If Aaron Rodgers wasn’t who he is, I wouldn’t give this team a chance to make the playoffs. But the two-year reigning MVP isn’t one to shy away from a fight.
So, I encourage the doubters to realize that this man manufactures greatness from doubt. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Packers win five of their next six games before heading into Buffalo for what could (and should) be a great game.
Can Aaron “Merlin” Rodgers carry his team to the playoffs? Does the 38-year-old have a few more tricks that we haven’t seen? The story continues heading on into Week 2.
