Green Bay Packers losing draws a lot of overreactions. We have seen them all week. One of the bigger overreactions might be there is a blueprint out for how to beat Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. That is not something known until weeks later. Despite that, the Green Bay Packers’ journalists asked Rodgers the question about a blueprint and he reacted to the question like a cat who gets hit with water.

Aaron Rodgers asked if Sunday showed teams are starting to figure the Packers’ offense out:

Rodgers: “1 out of 5.”

That was his entire answer.

Blueprints are a sexy word in the NFL. It is a good topic to discuss yet it takes time to find that answer. Remember when people thought Bill Belichick figured out the Kansas City Chiefs? That take lasted for a game at most. But we’ve seen the Packers get figured out before in 2011 and 2015. Romeo Crennel, ironically enough, had a defensive plan that the New York Giants would use to beat the 15-1 Packers. In 2015, Wade Phillips ran a defensive scheme that others would follow throughout the year. Now, there is a big variable in these two examples. Mike McCarthy. The former Packers coach did not always make the adjustments needed as the year went on. Matt LaFleur isn’t McCarthy.

The other thing about the thought of a blueprint is how many defenses are like Tampa Bay? Not many. Maybe Pittsburgh, Chicago, Indianapolis are the only ones worth considering. Now, the Packers play two of those teams this season. It is important to see how Green Bay does against both of those teams and see if they’ve learned how to adjust. Because those are teams that can follow the Tampa Bay blueprint. This is an answer we will not know until weeks later. If Packers’ offense has problems with Indianapolis and Chicago, it might be time to worry.
