Should Green Bay Packers fans chill and R-E-L-A-X?

Green Bay Packers fans: Is it time that we should  “R-E-L-A-X?”

The Packers are currently ranked 12th overall in the league, while their total offense ranks at 30th in the league, and only two rushing touchdowns to show for this far … by QB Aaron Rodgers.

Eddie Lacy, who has slimmed down more from last year, has only 360 yards through five games, and has yet to find the end zone for a rushing touchdown yet.

The offense is scoring at a low average of 22.8 points per game.

Defensively, the Packers are being plagued by injuries to their top three cornerbacks, and on Sunday the Cowboys attacked that issue, and it showed.

Rookies Dak Prescott, and Ezekiel Elliott dominated the defense, and the Cowboys didn’t even have star receiver Dez Bryant.

The Packers have an average completion percentage of 60.2 percent, and that is the fifth lowest in the league, ranking at 27th out of 32 teams (and Aaron Rodgers is playing QB).

With the firepower that Green Bay possesses offensively, they are ranked 25th in the league when it comes to yards per-game.

The Packers offense turned the ball over four times Sunday, and Aaron Rodgers knows that cannot happen again if they want to win.

Davante Adams (evaluated for concussion) and Bryan Bulaga (back) were injured in the second quarter of the game on Sunday.

The Packers have a quick turnaround as they face division rival Chicago (1-5).

Let’s hope Aaron Rodgers can outplay Brian Hoyer, and maybe Rodgers will tell Packer fans to “RELAX.”
