Aaron Rodgers Comments on Packers' Potential for Rest of 2016 Season

The Green Bay Packers are mired in a four-game losing streak that has seen them allow at least 31 points in every game during that span, but monthlong woes haven't prevented quarterback Aaron Rodgers from having an optimistic outlook. 

On Wednesday, Rodgers told reporters he believes the Packers can go 6-0 over their final six games and finish the year with a record of 10-6, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website:

"

I feel like we can run the table, I really do. The offense is starting to click a little bit more. We just have to put together a game where we’re consistent from the first snap to the last. We’ve been getting closer to that. We’ve really been clicking at times the last few games. It’s going to be important that we get going early.

"

Date	Opponent (Record)
Monday, Nov. 28	@ Philadelphia Eagles (5-5)
Sunday, Dec. 4	vs. Houston Texans (6-4)
Sunday, Dec. 11	vs. Seattle Seahawks (7-2-1)
Sunday, Dec. 18	@ Chicago Bears (2-8)
Saturday, Dec. 24	vs. Minnesota Vikings (6-4)
Sunday, Jan. 1	@ Detroit Lions (6-4)

Green Bay's offense may be finding a groove considering it has scored at least 24 points in five straight games, but the defense remains a major issue. 

Although the Packers run defense has been stout to the tune of a sixth-ranked 91.1 rushing yards per game allowed, the pass defense has surrendered a 23rd-ranked 265.6 passing yards per contest.

In recent weeks, the Packers have allowed Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota to throw for 295 yards and four touchdowns, while Washington Redskins signal-caller Kirk Cousins lit them up with 375 yards and three touchdowns in a 42-24 win. 

All told, Green Bay ranks 31st overall with a cumulative opponent passer rating of 105.6, according to Team Rankings. 

In other words, running the table when the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions are on the Packers' remaining schedule could prove rather difficult.  

But for now, all the Packers can do is focus on picking up their first win since Oct. 20 when they travel to Lincoln Financial Field for a meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles. 

And if there's good news for Green Bay, it's that Carson Wentz and Co. have not been particularly prolific through the air of late. Not only has Wentz thrown for fewer than 250 yards in six of his last seven games, but the Eagles wide receivers have battled drops all season long. 

So when the two sides meet in what could amount to a make-or-break game in terms of postseason contention, the Packers should be in a nice position to snap out of their slump and start making some noise.
