Rodgers: Packers won't 'overreact' to early struggles on offense

The return of Jordy Nelson was meant to cure whatever was ailing the Green Bay Packers' offense in 2015, but even with the wideout back in the lineup, the club has looked out of rhythm over the first two weeks of the season.

The Packers scored 27 points in a victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1, but Aaron Rodgers and the passing attack lacked a spark. But after the Jaguars were trounced by the San Diego Chargers on Sunday, the win looks even less impressive in hindsight.

Green Bay's offense struggled even more in Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings, as Rodgers averaged just 5 yards per attempt, turned the ball over twice, and was sacked five times.

However, the quarterback said no one should be panicking over the state of the offense.

"We're not going to overreact," Rodgers said, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "It's been two weeks. We haven't quite found our rhythm yet, but we had some guys working in who hadn't worked a lot together so we trust the process and believe we can get this thing turned around.

"We have kind of an awkward schedule here. We have a game next week at home, a bye, and then three at home. We have to find our rhythm here as we head back home."

Two years ago, Rodgers told Packers fans a similar message after the club started 1-2 and looked poor on offense, saying they should "R-E-L-A-X."

Rodgers was right in 2014, with the Packers finishing with an 11-5 record, but their inability to consistently move their offense has now been an issue for over a season.

Green Bay has switched play-calling back to head coach Mike McCarthy, improved running back Eddie Lacy's conditioning, and now has Nelson back, but none appear to have solved the problems on offense.
