Statistically, Rodgers wasn’t up to his usual standard and even ranked below-average by some advanced metrics. Rodgers’ and the Packers’ 2019 season followed a different script than usual. However, there were surely some throws he would like back, where he missed receivers on routine plays and struggled under the pressure of the 49ers’ pass rush. Rodgers was good, but not great on Sunday, finishing with 326 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions on 31-of-39 passing. In their NFC Championship loss and across the season overall, Rodgers was solid, but not his usual spectacular self. “It definitely hurts a little more than early in the career.” “It’s a little raw right now, for sure,” Rodger said. It just kind of felt like it was meant to be.”īut as a seasoned veteran, he recognizes how “difficult” it is for a team to get this deep into the playoffs-but it also makes the losses that much more painful. “We weren’t picked by most people to win our division, and we found a way to not only do that but to win a home playoff game and get to this spot. “With all of the changes this offseason, and with the installation of a new system and a new program, to get to this point, you felt like it was something special because it just didn’t really make sense,” Rodgers said.

It feels like life is more often than not a case of “I’ve got some bad news and then I’ve got some more bad news”, but if I’m in a “good news/bad news situation”, then I like to end on the positive note.
