The Packers have lost three straight games and their offense hasn’t been operating at a high level in any of those defeats, leading to plenty of questions about what needs to happen to get the unit back on track.

Coach Mike McCarthy said earlier this week that the offense shouldn’t overreact to a tough stretch and trust in the system that has worked well for them in the past. Not pressing is also part of the prescription recommended by wide receiver Randall Cobb for moving things back in the right direction.

“Yeah. We’ve all looked ourselves in the mirror and asked what we needed to do more,” Cobb said, via Green Bay Press-Gazette. “I think we’re kind of putting more pressure on ourselves than we need to instead of just going out there and playing ball. The game hasn’t changed. We just need to settle in and play ball.”

Cobb said many of the expected things while discussing the offense’s struggles, including the old axiom that the team’s just a few plays from everything being just fine. He also acknowledged that “the story’s not going to change until we change it” and it’s fair to say that failing to change it against the Vikings this weekend is only going to put more pressure on a team that’s trying to keep calm in the face of a losing streak.
