Aaron Rodgers didn't like what he saw on the practice field this past week with the Packers coming off their bye.
Neither did Matt LaFleur.
There isn't always a direct correlation with the game performance, but in this case there was.
"I think we needed a kick in the ass a little bit," Rodgers said after a 38-10 loss to the Buccaneers Sunday at Raymond James Stadium.
"There's a little bit of wake-up to stop feeling ourselves so much and get back to the things that got us to this position. I think this would be, unfortunately but fortunately, something we can really grow from."
That's the task moving forward, because rather than remain one of only two unbeaten teams in the NFC, the Packers now find themselves one of five clubs in the conference with four or more wins. Four other NFC teams have three wins.
It's going to be congested all season long, and the Packers can't let a bad performance like this one beat them twice. Next week's opponent, Houston, rallied from 21 points down against unbeaten Tennessee to take a couple of late leads, only to lose in overtime.
In the NFL every game presents a significant challenge to overcome, and with the Buccaneers it was their fast, high-pressure defense, led by the inside linebacker duo of Lavonte David and Devin White.
