He also didn't shirk responsibility for the role he's played in the rough start offensively. He called his three fumbles at Minnesota "frustrating" and acknowledged that the offense's timing is simply off.

A passer rating of 82.6 through two games is 10 points lower than his mark for all of last season (92.7), which was the lowest of his career as a full-time starter. But he practically chuckled at the notion that this is "an end-of-the-world-type moment, (with) everything coming down on top of us."

The struggles are being examined in the meeting room and worked on during practice. All involved are being "very honest" in evaluating their play, including the QB, who views that as part of being a team leader.

"It's important to let those guys know that you're going to stick your body on the line, but also you're going to stand up for them when you need to in the locker room, in the meeting room and in the media, and take your responsibility for the way you played," he said.

"I didn't play as well as I wanted to last week. I turned the ball over twice, and I can't do that if we're going to win the game.

"I know I've got to play better, and I will."



The faith in the ability to turn things around comes from within as well.

"It's the guys in this locker room," receiver Jordy Nelson said. "We've done it before. We've had a lot of history together. We have confidence in one another.

"We won't ever panic over one game or anything like that. We know we can do it, we've done it in the past, and it's just getting in that rhythm that we've had before."

In his second game back after missing all of 2015, Nelson said he felt better at Minnesota, rarely needing to come out of the game, and he feels he's getting closer to being able to play "every snap possible."

He added that the game film has shown the offensive opportunities being missed, but the least of anyone's concerns is Rodgers, no matter how detailed or scathing the critique of his game.

"I know he has a very high standard for himself. I don't think anyone will hold him higher than what he holds himself," Nelson said. "I think that goes for a lot of guys in this locker room.
