A massive number of fans used the respectful moment of silence at Lambeau Field in Green Bay to squeal unfavorable remarks regarding the opposing Detroit Lions.

While one could continue going down this path, the sum total is that the Packers aren’t playing well enough offensively right now and their season will remain stuck in neutral until that changes.
Lions coach Jim Caldwell acknowledged the mistake at his Monday press conference, but would not assign any blame, saying it was his responsibility. It’s a game with season-altering implications for both teams. The Lions, who entered the game 1-7 and as double-digit underdogs, shocked the National Football League with a 18-16 victory. Replays show that the ball appeared to brush the fingers of Packers holder Tim Masthay’s free hand, causing to lose its spin and power.
However, Rodgers condemned a fan after he heard a comment which he described as demonstrating a “prejudicial ideology” being made during the moment of silence. And we’ve got to make more plays.
Detroit’s winless streak in Green Bay will endure for quite a while.
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is the best player on the team, but he can’t do everything.
Even Crosby’s 44-yard field goal in the first quarter needed a little luck after glancing off the left upright but over the crossbar.
“I don’t think it’s that simple”, McCarthy said when asked directly, via ESPN.com.
“It’s that kind of prejudicial ideology that puts us in the position that we’re in today as a world”, Rodgers told reporters.
The Jones experiment, which produced six touchdowns in the first six games, might ultimately be deemed a failure. I feel the same way.

Both McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers denied that Rodgers is playing injured, though McCarthy did express concern that his quarterback has been taking too many hits over the last few weeks. “And frankly, if we spoiled you in the past, that’s great”.
