"The frustration, the eye rolls, the shrug, he's not a patient person" - NFL analyst slams Aaron Rodgers for putting up a fake persona for the media

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers got off to a 0-1 start after their loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1. It was a poor display on both sides of the ball and there is a lot of work ahead for Green Bay.

More than just the result was the manner of the defeat. Rodgers played poorly and could be seen arguing with coordinators and rolling his eyes at mistakes. One ESPN NFL analyst thought Rodgers' facial expressions and body language were particularly interesting during the loss.

Kimberly A. Martin spoke on the ESPN morning show Get Up. Here's what she had to say:

"This whole offseason, the Green Bay Packers basically sat down and waited for Aaron Rodgers to decide what he wanted to do with his future. And because of that, other people had to make moves. Davante Adams is now happy in Las Vegas with his best friend."

Martin also stated that she saw various eye rolls and shrugs from Rodgers when it came to the receivers on the team:

"That said, I don't think Aaron is asking too much of Christian Watson to catch an easy 75-yard touchdown. He's not asking him to do anything crazy. But at the same time, he's talking about having patience. But his face in the game that we've seen, like the frustration, the eye rolls, the shrug, like he's not a patient person."

She concluded her point by saying that Aaron Rodgers is not going to be patient, despite saying the right things to the public:

"I think he's saying the right things publicly. But to just point out, I don't think he's going to be patient in this situation."

Rodgers threw for 195 yards passing and an interception in the loss. Last season, he had two games where he didn't throw a touchdown pass. It was a poor display and Green Bay will look to shut the door on it as soon as possible.

Whether the offensive woes were a one-off or a sign of things to come is unclear. Much will be made of their Week 2 fixture at home to the Chicago Bears.

Green Bay Packers v Minnesota Vikings

After an offseason in which the Packers traded Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders, there were many questions about their offense. These questions are yet to be answered. Just last month, Aaron Rodgers was critical of his young receivers after practice, saying:

"The young guys, especially young receivers, we've got to be way more consistent. A lot of drops, a lot of bad route decisions, running the wrong route. We've got to get better in that area."

Rodgers, after the loss to the Vikings, said that he's optimistic about both Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs moving forward.

"These are good kids. They really are. They want to please, they want to do the right thing, they care about it. I'm going to figure out a way to continue to get on the same frequency with them."

Green Bay selected Watson in the second round and Doubs in the fourth round of this year's draft. They also picked up receiver Samori Toure in the seventh round.

They also signed Sammy Watkins in the offseason and have Allen Lazard, who missed the Week 1 game due to injury. The Packers will welcome the Bears to Lambeau Field in Week 2 as they look to prove to the world that they are still a force to be reckoned with.

We will see if Aaron Rodgers can kickstart their season on Sunday.
