We're only two games into the 2016 NFL season. There's still plenty of time for teams to figure out their problems and fix them by the end of the year. But, it's still frustrating when you're struggling out of the gate, and especially when the media is letting you know about it.

That appears to be the case for Aaron Rodgers. The Green Bay Packers‘ star quarterback hasn't put up the numbers we're used to from him since about the middle of last season. He's thrown for less than 300 yards in 11 straight games, and in eight of those, he's had under 250. That includes both games so far in 2016.

This correlates to a drop in the Packers' yards per passing attempt. It slumped to a career-low of 6.7 last season for Rodgers, and it's currently at 5.9 in the early going this year.

With that said, average for Rodgers is still far above what most NFL quarterbacks are able to produce. And as we saw last year, he can make a big play at any moment, regardless of what he'd done to that point in the game.

Rodgers did admit that he can play better though, on an individual level. From Ryan Wood of Packers News:

“I didn't play as well as I wanted to last week, and I turned the ball over twice, and I can't do that if we're going to win the game. So I've got to play better, and I've got to play more efficiently on offense.”

However, on a collective level, Rodgers is clearly frustrated with the criticism that Green Bay's offense has received from the media:

There was that undeniable edginess to Rodgers’ demeanor, his irritated tone.

…

“You guys have a job to do,” Rodgers said, “so do your job. Make your opinions and scrutinize, but we're not worried about your opinions. And we're not going back having sleepless nights worried about what you guys are saying about our offense. Because you guys don't know what plays we're running, you don't know where the execution is, you don't know where the flaws in the execution lie.”

Once Jordy Nelson is in top form and the offensive line has gained more experience together as a unit (all-pro guard Josh Sitton was cut after the preseason), look for the Packers' O to pick up the pace. When this team is executing at a high level, as Rodgers rightfully believes they're capable of, they're almost impossible to stop.
