With Green Bay struggling on offense through the first eight weeks of the season, there was a strong belief around the NFL that the would likely try to make at least one deal before Tuesday's trade deadline, but that didn't happen.Now, they're going to have to move forward with what they have, and surprisingly, actually seems OK with that. During his weekly pre s conference on Wednesday, Aaron Rodgers was asked about the lack of moves by his team and although he's never been shy about questioning the front office, the Marcus Allen Jersey Packers quarterback made it clear that he understood why general manager Brian Gutekunst wasn't able to pull the trigger on any deals."The compensation for whatever players we were going after just didn't make sense," Rodgers said, . "So I trust Brian, and we had some good conversations. We were in on some things. It just didn't pan out."The closest Rodgers came to being pa sive-aggre sive came when he was . "That's not my area of focus," Rodgers said. "Brian didn't think whatever was out there was worth whatever was required of what was Harrison Butker Jersey given up. That just sends a me sage to us that we've got to play with the guys we've got and win with the guys we've got."Heading into Week 9, the Packers are averaging just 18.1 points per game, which is the seventh-lowest number in the NFL. The team also ranks in the bottom half of the league with just 217.4 pa sing yards per game.Although the Packers didn't pull off a trade, the two teams at the top of the NFC did with the and both . The while the Eagles added . "Well, with all due respect to those teams, we're chasing some other teams right now," Rodgers said, . "We've got to get back in the hunt. Those teams are out front right now. So I'm worried about our guys that we've got in the locker room. . . Willie Lanier Jersey . Like I said, I know we were in on some guys, and liked a few. But it just didn't work out."One of the guys that Green Bay was apparently in on was . According , the Packers offered a second-round pick for Claypool, but the decided to send him to Chicago after the also offered a second-rounder.With no new players on the roster, Rodgers knows the team will now have to win with who they have. "That just sent the me sage to us that we've got to play with the guys we've got and win with the guys we've got," Rodgers said Wednesday. "I think there's still a lot of confidence in the guys in the locker room. I do feel like we need to get healthy."Getting healthy Chris Jones Jersey seems like a must for the Packers if they're going to compete for a playoff spot. One reason a trade would have made sense for Green Bay is because the team is banged up at receiver right now with , , and all dealing with injuries over the past few weeks.If the team can get healthy, Rodgers seems confident that they can be good. ."We've got to hopefully get Watson and Lazard back this week, Cobby in a couple more weeks," Rodgers said, . "We're hopeful that both guard and left tackle David Bakhtiari will be able to go, and there's no surprises on game day. I think that squad, when you put that together, I think we Mecole Hardman Jersey can win some football games with those guys." Winning football games is something that Packers are going to need to start doing soon. At 3-5, Green Bay doesn't have much margin for error over the second half of the season. The Packers will try to turn things around starting on Sunday when they travel to Detroit in a game they really need to win, because after that, they play three straight games against teams that currently have five or more wins (Dallas, Tenne see, at Philadelphia).
