Aaron Rodgers has been taking shots at teammates for quite a while and this time he is really digging his heels in. Speaking to the media after practice, the quarterback claimed that his teammates were hiding from the truth. Here's how he put it:

"When you're struggling on offense, you got to look at everything in the details. There's just been too many simple mental errors. And I'm not a robot up here. I think people in this society have a hard time hearing the truth sometimes."

He went on to explain that he and the coaching staff will be holding the players accountable for their production:

"So I'm going to hold guys accountable, Matt's going to hold guys accountable. We need guys to to focus in on the mental part of this."

Whether this is truly the best way to get the best out of his teammates remains to be seen. With the Green Bay Packers currently 3-4 and traveling to face the Buffalo Bills, the margin for error is slim.

After arguably their worst loss of the season, Green Bay are looking to improve in time for a Sunday Night showdown in Buffalo. Before they went into their bye week, the Bills were arguably the hottest team in the league. Meanwhile, after a solid September, the Packers have been on a downward trend.

After a 0-1 start, Green Bay surged to a 3-1 record, including a two-game win-streak over Tom Brady and Bill Belichick in consecutive weeks. Rodgers, however, hit a wall after that.

The New York Giants, New York Jets, and the Washington Commanders all had their way with the Packers, putting them on a three-game losing streak. At 3-4, Green Bay are looking to bounce back in primetime with their backs against the wall. Aaron Rodgers needs nothing short of a good performance and a win to silence his critics, who have been extra vocal of late. We will see if he can do it on Sunday night.
