Rodgers is confident they will, but there are important steps to take. It’s not as easy as flush, then forward.
“You kind of rinse your hands a little bit, try to. That’s what you’d like to do,” Rodgers said. “The best thing to do is go back and be brutally honest with your own side of the ball and your own personal performance. Knuckle down on some of the details.”
That’s everyone’s task between now and next Sunday when NFC contender Carolina comes to Lambeau Field. The Panthers were humbled in a lopsided loss last week at San Francisco and bounced back this week to beat Tennessee.
That’s how this league works, and the good teams don’t let forgettable days morph into multiple bad memories.
The Packers rebounded from their first loss of 2019 with a four-game winning streak. They showed then what it takes.
“The character of the guys in the locker room,” Rodgers said. “I feel pretty confident we’re going to respond.
“We have to respond the right way and go into the bye 8-2. This week will be interesting to see the leadership step up.”
The Packers will need that leadership in all three phases, because there were deficiencies galore in LA. They now face their biggest test of the season thus far.
