It may not feel like it should be the case, but Green Bay Packers fans should feel confident heading into a road showdown with the Buffalo Bills this weekend.
The Packers are 3-4 and they're a double-digit underdog. Logic would suggest that Green Bay fans shouldn't feel very confident about a matchup with the Bills in Buffalo.
But this is a do-or-die week for the Packers. And everyone in Green Bay's locker room knows it. If the Packers are going to change the narrative about their season, it has to happen this week or it won't happen at all.
It's a dire situation facing the Packers. Because of that, I think we'll see Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay rise to the occasion.
And it's comments from Rodgers this week that will help the team go into Buffalo with the right attitude.
Rodgers got real with his teammates this week and preached accountability.
Those can be hard conversations to have, but not having those conversations usually leads to disaster.
And if you think Rodgers' comments are splitting the locker room, you're wrong. Green Bay's players know what needs to be done. And they know Rodgers just wants to win.
"I think it's a wake-up call to everyone," said wide receiver Sammy Watkins this week.
The message is simple — perform or get off the field. And it seems that message has been well-received.
It might seem to the outside world that Green Bay is in disarray right now, but these hard conversations are the best thing that could happen to the Packers. This team is responding well in the locker room and I think that will translate to responding well on the field.
You see what a team is about when their back is against the wall. And I believe that means we're going to see the Packers at their best this weekend against the Bills.
