During an appearance on the Railbird Central podcast on Monday morning, 247Sports insider Luke Rodgers gave some tough love to his brother, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, following a 29-10 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday evening.

"Aaron didn’t play well at all," said Luke Rodgers. "He missed some shots that he had down the field. I love giving the defense their due, but I think Aaron really had a clunker if we’re going to be on honest on his performance."

Luke Rodgers isn't out to make controversy for the sake of controversy, and he's not making comments because he thinks he can do better than his brother. His job is as a football analyst, and the statistics would seem to bear out that he's not exactly going out on a limb.

Aaron completed 14 of 22 passes for just 77 yards, and the Packers passing game averaged just 2.0 yards per attempt when factoring in yardage lost on sacks.

Luke Rodgers' analysis of the Packers' shortcomings did not begin and end with the quarterback, however, and—in fact—alluded to the point that there might be larger issues at play.

"I think the Packers are just very, very poor at making adjustments, in game especially," said Luke Rodgers. "I think oftentimes, and this is going to be just my opinion here obviously, I think the Packers line up and expect their guys to win a one-on-one match-up and oftentimes instead of possibly scheming.

"I think last night when the Broncos made it clear they were going to bring pressure, and they were going to bring pressure up the middle, the Packers never got out of sort of long-developing deep routes. There were no slants; there was a couple screen plays that were thrown in there, so we’ll give them that. But there weren’t any real, in my mind, there wasn’t any adjustment made to make any real first-read looks in order to get the ball out quick to beat the pass rush.

"Instead, it was Aaron trying dancing around trying to make time for himself. We had wide receivers that weren’t able to get open that were running long outs, long stems, 10, 12 yards down the field. You want to take your shots, but when your quarterback is under duress and the defense has made it clear they’re bringing pressure, you’ve got to get the ball out and you’ve got to make adjustments."

All this analysis, breakdown and scrutiny isn't to leave out the Packers defense, which deserves its share of the blame after allowing at least 500 yards of offense for the second straight game. As part of a longer, wide-ranging interview, the defense gets its criticism too.

But the point about the team's failure to make adjustments is well-taken and extends to the coaching staff as well as the players.
