The Packers struggled to just seven points in their Week 3 defeat against the Lions, the lowest point total they've scored in any game that Aaron Rodgers has started -- and finished -- at quarterback. (Note: They scored three points in a game started by Rodgers in which he left because of injury). Rodgers also threw for just 162 yards, his third-lowest total in any game he has started (and finished) since 2008, the year he took over for Brett Favre in Green Bay. On Sunday, he too was part of the problem, not the solution.
Three games into a season is too soon to bury any NFL team, much less one that has reached the playoffs in five straight seasons, but we have enough information to begin to assess what has gone wrong. Beyond that, it's important to assess what can be fixed and/or corrected. While Rodgers' play has been insufficient by the standards he has set for himself, the quarterback is far from the biggest problem for Green Bay.
Let's dig deeper on those problems, while also looking at notes from around the league.
